N F E R F E AT U R E S H Diary OF A VAPER With Jase Hodge from Bridgend, South Wales I started vaping about fi ve years ago, right after the birth of my youngest daughter. For me, that was the main push to give up smoking and start vaping instead. confi dence to do that sort of thing more often. I did start off by doing a few reviews but now I predominantly do the raffle draws. Since then it’s kind of taken over my life. My habit has turned into a hobby, so now I’m constantly buying mods and looking for the newest things. I work in a vape shop now, Darth Vaper in Pyle, Bridgend and I also work for The Vape Shack in Bournemouth, doing their online and social media content. I was at the Vaper Expo in May, which was my fi rst expo and it was a real eye opener for me. I did the B2B day as well to see that side of things, because as I work in a vape shop, I don’t really get to see the wholesale side of things so B2B day opened my eyes about that. I used to hate Facebook and I wasn’t on there at all but then I started working with SAS Vaping and I now present their raffle draws live on Facebook. So, with the raffles we get products out there and give people the chance to get top-end products for raffle prizes.

My current set-up is an Asmodus mod, which hasn’t even been released yet, and I absolutely love it, but, believe it or not, my favourite set-up is a simple Vstick and juice wise it’s got to be Blue Iceberg by Monster Flavours.
