Hi there and welcome to the first official
issue of Vapouround Canada!
The debut of this magazine coincides with
some exciting news at Vapouround HQ in
the UK as it’s my first issue as editor and
I’m a tad excited about that.
You may have met some of the team at
Canada’s Vape Expo in Toronto in June,
where we unveiled our preview edition. There
was such a great buzz about the CVE that
weekend and we can’t wait to return.
We met some familiar faces who you will
see plenty of in upcoming issues and
we made some new acquaintances too,
which makes us very excited about Canada’s
vaping future indeed.
From regulation to public perception to trade
wars, at Vapouround we delve into the thick of
it all, bringing everything that’s happening
in this electric and rapidly growing industry
to the professionals and vape shops that
keep things ticking over.
That’s why you’ll find big news headlines
from places like the UK and the US, coupled
with stories shaping the future of vaping right
here in Canada, and in Asia and Europe’s
up and coming markets too.

Each issue of Vapouround Canada will bring
new developments, and let’s face it, in this
industry we’re never short of talking points.
As a company founded in the UK, Vapouround
is going to be looking into the effects and
possibilities Brexit will bring in the coming
months. Who knows what will have occurred
politically by the time issue two rolls around,
but whatever happens, we’ll bring you insight
on the impact this will undoubtedly have for
the global vape industry.
A couple of things to watch out for in this
issue. We’ve got the latest on how Canadian
delegates stood up for transparency after
journalists were removed from a World
Health Organization (WHO) conference in
Geneva. Plus don’t miss the latest from
our friends over at Premium Liquid Labs
on pages 44-45.
Until then, be sure to check out our blog
on VapouroundCanada.com for the latest
happenings in between issues.
See you in three months for issue two!
