It seems like just yesterday that we were putting together the first issue of Vapouround , still finding our footing with no idea what lay ahead . But here we are six years later as the World ’ s Leading Vape Trade Magazine and it ’ s fair to say it ’ s been one hell of a ride . So sit down , pour yourself a drink and join us as look back on the highlights from another fantastic year .
Vape Live Lands in the US - November 2020 When we first decided to put together a virtual vape exhibition , we had no idea just how essential it would turn out to be . But with the pandemic enduring for 18 long months , Vape Live became a crucial platform for the industry to stay in touch . When we took the show over to the states , we were able to connect with some of the biggest and best names in the US . And with speakers from both sides of the Atlantic , our auditorium proved to be an invaluable tool in educating both vapers and smokers .
High-profile speakers such as GrimmGreen and Michael Landl of the World Vapers ’ Alliance shared the stage with the Vapouround Cup , Vape or No Vape and the crowd-pleasing / horrifying Bush Tucker Challenge .
And Now … Thank you to all the vapers and business owners who continue to support us in our mission . We can ’ t wait for you to join us as we help millions more smokers make the switch for good .
And the Winner Is … - December 2020 The Vapouround Awards are one of the biggest events on the global industry calendar . We held a virtual ceremony last year , with Vape Live being the perfect platform to host the celebrations . We had a lot of fun putting the content together for this and we hope you also had some laughs before the serious business of honouring the winners . The physical Vapouround Awards are back this year – onboard the Lotus mega yacht in Dubai , no less . Check out our Awards website for more information - https :// www . vapouroundawards . co . uk /
We ’ d Like to Thank – December 2020 We feel honoured to hand out awards to the best and brightest every year . But to be awarded ourselves is a very special experience , too . In December ’ s Ecigclick Awards , we not only picked up our fourth consecutive gong for Best Vape Magazine , but also the Best Vape Show award for Vape Live . We dearly missed visiting physical expos last year , but we are delighted that Vape Live helped so many of you connect over those long months .
EU Had to Be There – March 2021 Vape Live Europe in March arrived on the continent at an uncertain time for the industry there . Talk of US-inspired restrictions like flavour bans were making the industry nervous . Our auditorium panellists did not hold back in addressing the big issues , with speakers taking on topics like the World Health Organization ’ s ongoing anti-vape stance and excessive regulations in Germany . On a more positive note , US politician Julie Casimiro was a shining example of what can happen what when a politician actually changes their mind about vaping .
Bigger and Better – August 2021 August saw what was arguably our best Vape Live event yet . Alongside more than 100 exhibitors and thousands of visitors , we truly pulled out all the stops in the auditorium .
