Well hello there summer, we’ve missed you.
Who’s ready for barbecues, beaches and rosé?
Me! There are some stellar new juices out there
perfect for a hot summers’ day and you may
have come across some of them at the recent
Vapouround Awards which took place in May. It
was wonderful to meet so many of you again,
and we had lots of new faces to greet too which
is always great to see.

VAPOUROUND
This year’s Vapouround Awards night was truly
an international gathering, with companies in
attendance from South America, China, Cyprus,
and the Middle East as well as the mainstay vape
nations closer to home and the UK’s finest.
My favourite thing about the night is watching
people and their facial expressions in anticipation
of the big announcement. Suddenly, we have a
winner and all formalities go out the window. It’s
like an animal instinct takes over, like in a David
Attenborough documentary and makes for
excellent viewing.
Congratulations to all of our winners and we hope
to see you all again at next year’s event. We’ll be
marking five stellar years of the show at the next
one, it’s already looking incredible and we’ve got
Vampire Vape on board as the official sponsor.
Many thanks to our hosts Nigel Mead and Ashley
Hansen for presenting a great show and to all of
our entertainers – we couldn’t have hoped for more.
If you’d like to access any of the photos from
the night you can check those out online at

Alas this is my final editor’s letter for
Vapouround Magazine. You may have heard
earlier this year that we launched the UK’s first
dedicated CBD publication, and this is something
I’m going to be focusing all of my attention on
as editor moving forward. It’s been an absolute
pleasure to edit Vapouround for the past year,
and as assistant editor before that.
Patrick Griffin, whom many of you will already
know, will be stepping up as editor. Go easy on
him. As for me, I’ll see you in the land of all things
CBD!
