LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Welcome to another edition of Vapouround Magazine and to another year which looks set to be even busier than the last one .
Last year was so hectic that I hardly had time to catch a breath and this year has started at an even more frantic pace which means there is never a dull moment to be found .
The Vapouround Bus has been one of our really big successes and it now has an amazing new look , after being completely re-wrapped . Be sure to check it out as it tours the UK . One of the great things about the bus is that everywhere it goes we meet smokers who tell us they desperately want to quit but have not found a way that has worked for them .
Many tell us that they don ’ t really understand what vaping is all about and we are always delighted to answer all their questions and provide them with vaping starter packs to try . It is always great to play some part in helping smokers quit and we see the Vapouround Bus as playing a very important role in this area .
Our vape lounge in Derby city centre is going from strength to strength and a second lounge will be opening in London very shortly with more to come as the year unfolds .
Since the last magazine we have been to Spain , Ukraine , Russia and the USA and you can read about all of those journeys in this issue .
No matter where in the world we go , we are always impressed by the passion and vision of the people who work in the vaping industry to constantly drive it forward .
It was to pay tribute to the people who make up the international world of vaping that we launched our Vapouround Awards last year . This year ’ s Awards ceremony will take place after the business-to-business day of Vaper Expo UK - The Big Weekend on Friday May 26 at the NEC in Birmingham and it promises to be a lot of fun .
If you want to nominate juices or hardware for the Vapouround Awards then do so now . The closing date is March 31 and we don ’ t want you to miss out .
All the details on how to enter are on our Awards website : www . vapouroundawards . co . uk so be sure to check that out .
