EVENTS
VAPECON, TEXAS | 9-10 APRIL 2016
By Paul Caplin
So we travelled from Oklahoma to one of our favourite places in
The States, San Antonio!
This was the second time we were about to embark on the home
of the Alamo, and we were all very excited. Unlike last time, we
stayed downtown amongst the thick of it all. We loved the great
night life and chatting to friendly people, whilst the amazing
river walk and picturesque town, could easily be mistaken for a
picture perfect postcard. The convention was in the main centre
which was based on San Antonio’s Riverwalk. VapeCon were
the hosts this time and wow – what a great job they did.
The check-in process was quick and efficient, and upon entry
to the main hall we knew we were back in our element. There
was the usual mix of large exhibitors with their big stands, and
the smaller companies occupying the smaller booths. There was
a definite buzz about the place and a nice steady flow of traffic

with people coming in from all over. By the end of day one, the
place was very busy and large clouds were all that could
be seen.
This show attracted some great companies, from the usual candidates like Strawberry Queen, EFX Liquids, The Pancake Man
and many more, to new companies that are starting to become
regulars on the circuit like Naked fish. This fantastic mix of
exhibitors ensures the average visitor has a great choice when
looking around the show.
The entertainment was top notch, with plenty of giveaways and
some fantastic competitions, as well as a cloud chasing contest
with cash prizes. A selection of top class DJs and MCs entertained visitors and exhibitors alike, who seemed to enjoy a well
organised and very successful show. Follow these guys as I
know they have more dates coming soon!
