It was also a pleasure to see Tom Ambrose return to the Vapouround Casino bearing his Vapouround-branded mod. WINNER ALRIGHT One winner was Noxx White, a moderator at Approved Vapers, an inclusive Facebook community of over 33,000 members. Noxx knows the domestic vape scene inside out and came to this expo with a VIP ticket and a desire to try everything, including a second go at the Vapouround Casino. Like David, Noxx won as many liquids as he could carry. “I was here last year when you launched [the casino]. I’ve been to every vaping expo going – VapeFest, VapeJam, and all the expos here. I’m usually a poker player but I went for blackjack.” Vaper Mike Green told us he was “still coming off smoking” but luckily for Mike, his prize may take him one step closer to quitting for good. “I started vaping in January this year. I won a mod on Wheel of Fortune.” Adam Smith was one of many returning guests. He walked away with a squonk mod. “I’ve been vaping for two or three years and I’m completely off the cigarettes. This is my second time, I was here in the casino last year. It’s a lot better, a lot bigger, I like the samples you’ve got in here today and I won a squonker on Wheel of Fortune.” Another liquid and hardware winner was Tom Dale. He told us, “I’ve been vaping for nearly three years, I was smoke-free within a week of taking it up. This is my first time at the Vapouround Casino and it’s been a ten out of ten. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere. I’ll be here in October.” OW RL ID A DAV Two of the biggest prizes went to brothers Jamie and Jason Hoff, who made their casino debut at their third expo. They won a drone and Xbox One on Wheel of Fortune. “It’s been amazing, ten out of ten.” As a main feature of the expo, the casino brings in the industry’s leading figures, who may want to take a moment to have some fun. Among our highly sought-after top prizes was a quad bike which went to Thor Juice’s Thoren Webster. He was delighted with his win and told us he couldn’t wait to get his new bike back to company HQ and let the employees all have a go, just in time for the summer. After such a successful second outing for the Vapouround Casino we can hardly wait for act three this October. OSE AMBR TOM TH OR EN W EB ST ER MIKE GREEN VM17 | 147
