Welcome to the final edition of Vapouround Magazine for 2017 - it is amazing that another year has flown by so quickly . It seems like we have not had time to stand still for a moment for the entire year but this means that , once again , we have covered a lot of ground indeed . We have had two more astonishing Vaper Expo UK events at the NEC and it has been amazing to watch this show grow and grow over the years . Vaper Expo is an amazing home-grown success story and it surely must be the biggest vaping event in the world now . We had another great Expo in October which saw the launch of our brand new Vapouround Casino . This was such a huge success that we are bringing it back again in May and it will be even bigger and better than before . Many thanks to everyone who supported the casino and it was great to give away so many big prizes to our lucky winners . It was also great to see such a diverse range of businesses at Vaper Expo as this really is the sign of a vibrant and thriving industry . There was diversity in terms of both the various sectors of the industry which were represented and also in terms of a great mix of established , up-and-coming and brand new businesses too . We also celebrated the first anniversary of our flagship Vapouround Vapelounge in Derby last month and it was great to see so many people at our party in the lounge to mark the occasion . Derby has a really strong and passionate vaping community and we were delighted to open a second location in November - Vapouround Lounge @ Delboys . If you are in the city then please feel free to check us out at 35 Roosevelt Ave , Derby . It is also most encouraging that so many organisations inside and outside the vape industry are working to promote the message that vaping can help smokers quit and thereby save lives . This was demonstrated so clearly in October when , for the first time , the Public Health England Stoptober TV advertising campaign featured vaping . If 2018 can see more official support and recognition that vaping is a powerful tool to help people quit smoking then we can
look forward to a very good year indeed .
UNTIL NEXT TIME .
