AWARDS
THE BEST YET
Tears of joy, pride and gratitude were flavours of the night as this year’s
winners were overcome with emotion on being named the best of the industry.
Let’s not forget just how different the vape industry is now compared to four
years ago when the Vaper Expo and Vapouround Awards each debuted.
It’s no surprise then just how overwhelmed with emotion many of the big
winners were as every category has grown more competitive.
THE ‘X’ FACTOR
Canadian company Premium Liquid Labs won Best CBD.

Entertainment is central to everything we do at Vapouround. We like a dare,
trick or a twist or two around the office, so when we had the opportunity to
have the co-creator of ITV’s ‘Tricked’ come on board as a host, it was a no-
brainer. Nigel Mead’s sophistication and professionalism were matched
and balanced with experienced Ashley Hansen’s knowledge and passion
for the industry, while Johnnie Lovell bounced around the room on social
media duties.
Magician Nick Einhorn is a regular fixture at the Vapouround Awards,
always pulling it out of the bag (or should that be hat?) This year, we added
handsome trio ‘Roaming Around’ to serenade guests at the welcome
reception. We also added Lumina to the line-up with a fierce laser violinist
who has supported Sting, Derren Brown and Juuls Holland to open the
show. And then there were the ‘Masters of Illusion,’ Keelan Leyser and Matt
Daniel-Baker, a truly unique double act for the digital age.
Riot Squad accepted the Juice of the Year award.
Scott & Kayley Parkinson from Wigan represented
the night’s charity partner, Blessing in Disguise.
