BHVape ’ s Johnnie Lovell ’ s YouTube reviews are racking up hits by the day

By Gordon Stribling
There ’ s barely a month to go before three of the biggest dates in the vaping calendar are finally upon us . Vaper Expo UK will see vapers and vape companies from all over the world descend on the NEC Birmingham for a weekend of juices , mods , builds and competitions . On B2B day – Friday May 4 – the third annual Vapouround Awards will celebrate the products , companies and individuals that have helped propel vaping to dizzying new heights . Make sure you snap up a ticket before they ’ re all gone .
Co-hosting is none other than the barmy , bespectacled owner of Bournemouth ’ s BHVape , the irrepressible Mr Johnnie Lovell . Johnnie is a born entertainer with a huge passion for vaping and a daft sense of humour , so it will come as no surprise that he is more than happy to lark around in front of the camera .
Johnnie has teamed up with Vapouround to present e-liquid reviews on YouTube . He has made six videos so far and we are pleased to say that the Johnnie you know and love comes through on-screen . ‘ Madcap ’ would probably be the best word to describe Johnnie ’ s presenting style and it ’ s only a matter of time before he reaches YouTube superstardom . Let ’ s hope he doesn ’ t forget his humble origins along the way !
After almost two weeks of trying , I finally managed to pin the man down to have a quick chat about the videos and get a glimpse at the goings-on behind the scenes .
“ I ’ ve been off ill for the past 12 days so the videos have taken a backseat . Now the weather has improved – where did all that snow come from ? – I ’ m feeling a lot better . I can ’ t wait to record some new ones .”
Where does he get all his crazy props from ?
“ Hahaha , you ain ’ t seen nothing yet . I ’ ve got bouncy balls , I ’ ve got a drum kit , I ’ ve got a saxophone . There ’ s an
interesting story to those mannequin hands . Let ’ s just say that no one wants to stumble upon what looks like a body when they ’ re putting the bins out .”
Keep an eye on our social media feeds and the BHVape YouTube channel for more from this vape industry frontman .
Vaper Expo UK takes place at the NEC on May 4 – 6 .
