EVENTS does add to the overall experience so nobody seemed to mind the white vapour clouds which remained for the entire day. Vapefest Ireland may not be the biggest event in the world’s vaping calendar but that did not stop exhibitors from all over the world taking part. The Irish vaping community is very passionate and many of the exhibitors who had come from different countries said this was one event they did not want to miss. There were new juices to try, new hardware to discover, prizes, competitions and places where visitors could just sit down and work on building their mods. Celebrity YouTube reviewer Grimm Green was at the event and was mobbed by fans wherever he went. It was his first time in Ireland and he loved every second of it. The event was originally due to take place over two days but as the Republic of Ireland’s soccer team were due to play a key European match on the Monday evening they needed their stadium back the day before. If anyone was disappointed then it didn’t show and already people are looking forward to next year’s event. Vapefest Ireland organisers wrote on their official Facebook page afterwards: “We just don't know where to start saying thank you. Without the dedication and hard work of so many volunteers the entire event would not have been possible. “We would like to thank all the vendors that attended, again without you coming from far and wide the event would not have been possible. “Our VIP, Grimm Green, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for coming over to see us and we wish you a safe journey home. “Vapefest seems to take forever to come around again but when it does it passes so quickly and we are back to wanting more. “I hope you all enjoyed the day as much as we enjoyed creating it. Here's to 2016 and a massive shout out to team Vapefest Ireland.” Visitor Lee O'Donnell summed up the feelings of many by writing: “What an amazing day. I was delighted to be able to enjoy it as a vaper/consumer, and not a vendor. “It couldn't have gone any better... everything was perfectly laid out, it just looked amazing, looking forward to next year already!” VAPOUROUND MAGAZINE ISSUE 03 113
