EVENTS
East Coast Vaping Circuit
Daytona Beach
22-24 April 2016
By Paul Caplin
Again, another first for our USA tour,
Daytona Beach! We have seen the
movies featuring this world famous
beach and upon arrival... WOW! It was
nothing like what is depicted in the films.
There was an air of the early 90s about
this place, it seemed dated and sparse,
and didn’t live up to what it could have
been. I think this is just because of the
hype. We didn’t let that stop us, and
what a time we had!
We arrived at the convention centre in
Daytona full of high hopes, and we were
not disappointed. Although there did
not seem to be many large outlandish
stands, there seemed to be a few great
names, including Diamond Vapors,
Liquid EFX, Action Fluid and Strawberry

“The event did have a heavy
focus on advocacy which was
nice to see, and many people
supporting the Florida Advocacy
group, with the Vaping Advocate
magazine even offering free
space within the magazine
for anybody who purchased
membership, which we thought
was a great thing to do for a
fantastic cause.”
Queen. The turnout was good, and
people seemed to be enjoying the event
for what it was.
There wasn’t the usual loud PA system
with blaring music. It was quite
refreshing that the music seemed to be
contained at the back of the show where
the stage was set up, allowing vendors
to be able to do business without
taking anything away from the whole
atmosphere of the show.
All in all, this seemed to be well
executed, well thought out and a
pleasure to attend. I think that most
vendors were happy, and guests
seemed to be delighted with their haul.
We will look forward to next year!
