Hello and welcome to the first issue of
Vapouround Magazine of 2018.
As soon as we came back from the Christmas
break it was full steam ahead from day one
and we are all looking forward to the new
challenges that this year will bring.
There are a number of key live events that
we will be attending this year and we look
forward to covering vape shows around
the globe and bringing you all the latest
news from these great cornerstones of
our industry.
There is no substitute for face-to-face
interactions with people within the vaping
community as this is the best way to learn
about people’s goals and aspirations and
also to discover the problems and issues
that they face.
Right now we are well into planning our
third annual Vapouround Awards evening
which will take place at the NEC on May 4
and this is one event you will not want to
miss because we have a great evening of
entertainment in store for everyone.
If you have not booked your table then do so
without delay because the tickets are selling
out fast. Each year we have to disappoint
people who have left it too late and we don’t
want this to happen to you.
Also a quick reminder that there is still time
to get your juice entries in if you don’t delay
- the deadline for entries is March 1 so don’t
miss out.
Looking forward, we plan to open up more
Vapouround Vape Lounges in 2018 and we
have also partnered up with an American
company on an exciting new project which
will bring a new packaging solution to the
vape industry. We will have more information
about this project later in the year.
I hope 2018 proves to be a great year to
all our advertisers, readers, partners and
friends in the industry.
Finally a big thanks to all of our readers
who voted us as best Vape magazine in
the Ecigclick Awards. We are honoured
to have won this award. It means a lot.
THANK YOU EVERYONE FROM ALL OF
US AT VAPOUROUND.
