THE
VAPER
E XPO UK
11-12th JULY
It was billed
as the UK’s premier
e-cigarette and vaping
exhibition and The Vaper
Expo at the NEC certainly
lived up to all the hype.
This was a vaping exhibition for the trade and the public and
it attracted some of the biggest names in the industry for
two great, fun-filled and action-packed days.
Whether you were an experienced vaper or a total
newcomer there was something for everyone.
In fact the newcomer could not have been made more
welcome as everyone was willing to take the time to answer
questions and give advice.
Having retailers, manufacturers, e-juice manufacturers,
wholesalers, distributors and a small army of vaping
enthusiasts at the one venue, meant this was the ideal
place to be to learn more about the industry.
Some of the most cutting-edge products were on display
as well as custom mods and a huge selection of different
flavours of e-juice were available to try and to buy.
The atmosphere inside the hall was friendly and inviting
with a live DJ, raffles, giveaways, a chill out zone, bar and
non-stop opportunities for visitors to vape to their heart’s
content.
To say this event was a huge success would be a massive

understatement. There were people queueing up to get in
from 7am - three hours before the start - and within the first
40 minutes more than 1,800 visitors had passed though the
doors.
In addition, the Saturday raffle not only saw some amazing
prizes being won but it also raised £1,024 for Birmingham
Children’s Hospital.
The organisers were so pleased with the way things went
that plans are already being drawn up for next year’s event
and they are already looking to double the capacity to cope
with the expected demand.
Vaping is clearly a massive phenomenon and can only get
even bigger. Those at the show were passionate about
vaping and people easily struck up conversations with other
visitors with ease.
It is an industry where there is a lot to talk about and
subjects ranged from types of equipment used, favourite
juice flavours, regulations, modifications and vaping
techniques.
