G
reat Falls Distribution
released their new line
of e-liquids ‘Proper’ a
few months and ago and
showcased it at
the Vaper Expo UK – The Return on
our Vapouround bus stand. We caught
up with Patrick Tanyag, owner of (GFD)
and head of liquid production to find out
how well his new line is doing, his lab
and more about his growing empire.
VM: So, you released your new line of
e-liquids ‘Proper’ at the Vaper Expo UK
– The Return. Tell us more about why
you decided to promote it in the UK?
GFD: Our new line is getting a lot
of positive feedback and attention
stateside that we think it would be the
perfect time to promote these products
overseas. Working with such a great
team at Vapouround was the perfect
opportunity for us to do so.
VM: Can you give us a brief flavour
description of your new line?
GFD: Our Proper line is as follows:
• Fresh - White tea blended with
a refreshing mix of tropical fruits
• Pomp - Guava and mixed berry
cotton candy
• Swag - Crisp effervescent champagne
topped with strawberries and a twist
of lime
• Dapper - No nonsense vanilla

custard. Simple and elegant
• Fleek - A creamy taro inhale with
a smooth coconut finish
VM: Do you often showcase your
e-liquids at international vape events?
GFD: We are still trying to break into
the international market and think
international conventions will be
instrumental in doing so. We believe
that Vapouround Magazine will be
able to help greatly in this regard.
We were very excited to have our
products featured on the Vapouround
bus in Birmingham!
VM: You’ve opened 3 stores across
Virginia and incorporated a lab in
your new facility, how is that going?
GFD: Our initial two stores were really
just placeholders to test the local market.
Now that we’ve established ourselves
a bit, we are going to be focusing heavily
on our Merrifield location. With that being
said, our manufacturing facilities will be
based at this location. We are still going
through some growing pains but overall
we are very happy with what we’ve
accomplished with our new facility!
VM: How did you initiate Great Falls
Distribution?
GFD: Great Falls Distribution really
started as just a way to help out my local
friends in the industry. Friends who had
full time jobs or other commitments that
kept them from focusing on their vape
related businesses. Before long, I had
bunch of different juice companies I was
co-packing for. Distribution just seemed
the natural route after that.
VM: What do enjoy most about your role
and working in the vaping industry?
GFD: Generally, I’m very introverted and
shy. Working in this industry has forced
me to break out of my comfort zone and
interact with people I generally wouldn’t
have the courage to speak to otherwise.
I’ve made a lot of very close friends and
relationships to last a lifetime. I owe that
to vaping and the wonderful people who
occupy that space.
VM: Who are your competitors in the
vaping industry, is there anyone you
aspire to?
GFD: I wouldn’t say I’m in competition
with anyone! The beauty of our industry
is it allows everyone’s individuality to
shine through via their products and
companies. It’s a creative industry,
and with that, you find a lot of support
within those in the community. As far
as someone to aspire to? Nobody in
particular comes to mind. I’ve always
found that comparing ourselves to
others always leads to failure.
However, I will say that my motivation
comes from wanting to be successful
enough to provide for my fiancé and
our future family.
