VAPEXPO KIEV. SEPTEMBER 30 - OCTOBER 1.
It’s always nice to revisit a city that has pleasant expo memories
from a previous trip. It’s especially nice when that city is Kiev.
I’d previously visited Kiev in December of last year and
found it a city that immediately pushed itself into one of
my favourite locations, not only in terms of vape expos
but also with its overall vibe. I am delighted to report that
this time didn’t just match my fi rst visit on both counts, but
exceeded it.
The expo itself had everything you might wish for. A wide
and varied set of exhibitors from both Eastern Europe
and further afi eld, combined with a vibrant and sizeable
selection of visitors, made for two days of what is best in
the vape industry and its credit to the organising team
for this.
From cloud-chasing to trick shows, competitions and
more, the stage was a constant source of entertainment
and, of course, included the vape awards for the show.
This was of particular interest to me as I was a judge
alongside my colleague Reuben.
Now being on stage on front of people isn’t exactly within
my comfort zone but I’ve got to say that with the aid of
the organisers and an excellent translator it not only ran
smoothly but was thoroughly enjoyable.
