EVENTS vapouround magazine launched at uk vapefest 2015 After months of hard work behind the scenes, Vapouround Magazine was officially launched at UK Vapefest 2015. W e had a great time at the event in Shrewsbury and the whole team thoroughly enjoyed unveiling our vape lifestyle magazine to the public for the first time. It was our first issue and we were a little nervous but the reaction we received was nothing short of fantastic so we want to thank everyone for their kind words of encouragement and support. People were reading the magazine at the event and taking copies home for their families and friends which was great to see. A special thanks to everyone who told us how much they enjoyed reading the magazine and also for all the tips and suggestions for future content. We made a lot of new friends at the UK Vapefest event and are so proud to be part of such a friendly and welcoming community. It certainly has been a busy time for us all at Vapouround Magazine…literally as soon as we had packed up from UK Vapefest then we were off to the USA to meet leading members of the vaping community across the pond. We are happy to report that the US vaping community share the same passion, enthusiasm and friendly nature as do their British counterparts. It is great to see so many diverse people from different backgrounds and age groups all coming together to enjoy a shared passion. How refreshing it is to be part of a community where differences are respected and other people’s views are not seen as an excuse to start an argument or a bad-tempered heated debate. There are no absolute right or wrongs about vaping and people do it for all sorts of reasons. Many have turned to vaping as a way of getting off traditional cigarettes while others enjoy having the latest gadgets or experimenting with different flavours and are always on the look out for new e-liquids to try. There are some who just want a simple setup while others love custom mods and the technical side of things. One thing is for sure and that is that no matter what your differences or preferences when it comes to individual vaping choices, there is one thing about which we can all agree…we have one of the most amazing communities going. Here’s to an amazing bunch of people and if you are reading this, then that includes you. We had a great time meeting so many people both at UK Vapefest and on our travels in the USA and can’t wait to make even more friends in the weeks and months ahead. 112 WINTER EDITION VAPOUROUND MAGAZINE
