LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
A very warm welcome to our latest edition of Vapouround Magazine.
The past few months have been an amazingly busy time for us all and when you read
through this issue you will get a taste of just how busy it has been.
The biggest event for us was hosting the second annual Vapouround Awards evening
and this was one amazing night thanks to the wonderful people who make up the
international vaping community.
JOURNALISTS: I also want to thank everyone from the industry who supported the event whether by
attending, sponsoring awards categories and entering their juices and products.
The standard was extremely high indeed this year so huge congratulations not only to
the winners but to everyone who made it through to the final stages.

were obviously out in force for that event too.

FRONT COVER IMAGE SUPPLIED BY
It was great seeing so many familiar faces in Birmingham over the weekend and also a
delight to meet so many new people too.
There is a lot of coverage both of the 2017 Vapouround Awards and also of the Expo
itself in this issue to make sure you check them out.
We were also delighted to be the official media partners for the Independent Vape
Industry Conference 2017 which was held in Manchester on April 27.
If you were there then you will already know what a great event it was, covering a huge
range of topics which are highly relevant to the vaping industry.
I know that a lot if time and effort went into organising this event and it really paid off
on the day. If you didn’t get to go then you can read our special series of reports on the
Conference in this issue.
We also have our regular features, the popular Vapouround on Tour section and
highlights of where the Vapouround Bus has been over the past couple of months in yet
another feature-packed issue.
Until next time.
