Vapouround Awards 2021 was one of the first major international events where the vaping community could come together again … and Vampire Vape was front and centre . As a truly global brand , this UK-based e-liquid titan was the platinum sponsor for our biggest and boldest show to date . So , we spoke to the team to hear their thoughts about hitting the Dubai Marina , boarding the Lotus mega-yacht and celebrating the best that vaping has to offer .
HERE ’ S WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY :
After the COVID-19 pandemic forced the awards online last year , how did it feel seeing some of the biggest industry names gathered in one space again ?
It was fantastic to see the industry together , bump into old faces and have the opportunity to network again after a tough two years for everyone .
How did you find setting sail on-board a luxurious mega-yacht for this year ’ s award show ?
What ’ s important is for the industry to stay together as one to tackle these challenges .
The Vapouround Awards evening is a great opportunity for unity and for everyone to come together as one .
As the main sponsor of the show , what do the Vapouround Awards mean to you ?
It ’ s great to be a part of the Vapouround Awards , as well as the main sponsorship , as it ’ s an ideal opportunity for the industry to come together and celebrate our achievements .
At the same time as the awards , you were also exhibiting at the World Vape Show , Dubai ’ s first international vape expo . Was this a successful event for you ?
The World Vape Show in Dubai was a very successful show and gave us the opportunity to engage with existing customers whilst also meeting new customers .
We look forward to it again next year !
Being on-board the yacht was different but felt more casual and was a great way to spend the evening with everybody .
With the holiday season just around the corner , can loyal Vampire Vape fans expect any festive treats or releases ?
You walked away with two awards this year ; how does it feel to be recognised as one of the best brands in the industry ?
It ’ s always great to be recognised for our awardwinning products and it is something that we are proud of as a brand .
How crucial do you think it is for us to celebrate our industry , especially when we are constantly facing misinformation and attacks from outside forces ?
Absolutely – watch this space …
Can we expect to see you at the World Vape Show London this December and the Vapouround Awards next year ?
Yes , we are looking forward to seeing everybody again in December and sponsoring the Vapouround Awards next year !
