F E AT U R E The “W.S.O.C.C” is the original founding father of the most highly anticipated cloud-chasing event the vapor industry has ever seen. The coveted Gold and Diamond W.S.O.C.C medallion necklace is the forefront in recognition that is given to the champion of each division of the main event. We’ve been working on the W.S.O.C.C for the last year in the States. With the great popularity of vaping comes a growing competitive offshoot complete with contests, judges, sponsors, and spectators turning out to see who can produce the most impressive clouds. Clouds are judged on density and distance. Competitors go back to back, through heats leading to the finals. This year the W.S.O.C.C will be kicking off at VapeJam before moving across the UK for our regional heats leading to the grand final in London. It will then run across the UK with 8 venues. VapeJam is the leading vape expo in the UK and we are proud to announce our partnership for this year’s W.S.O.C.C. All these rules are which make the W.S.O.C.C different from normal cloud competitions. WEIGHT DIVISONS This is what makes our competition very special. The divisions are broken down into weight. All competitors with the exception of women are weighed in at registration. If the competit or weighs 165 lbs or less, they are in middleweight division. 166lbs -199 lbs is considered light heavyweight, whilst 200 lbs or more is heavyweight. We suggest all competitors empty all pockets, take off all bags, mods or anything heavy before weighing in to get a true weight. 96 ISSUE 03 VAPOUROUND MAGAZINE
