The expo attracted names from both home and abroad but a lot
of the stands were scaled down versions of what the exhibitors
would have at a larger venue.
This meant that there was not the wow-factor of an event such as
Vaper Expo UK, for example, but the event still worked very well
and the visitors all seemed to have a great time.
It was noticeable that visitor numbers dropped off mid-afternoon
when the outside temperatures soared to around 40C and then
picked up again later in the evening. It was probably for this
reason that the expo stayed open until 8pm for the first two days.
I enjoyed the show, but slightly disappointing was the business-
to-business day which was held on the final day of the event, a
Monday, and the opening hours were just 9am until 1pm.
The visitor numbers were far fewer for the final day and many of
the exhibitors didn’t even show up at all on Monday which was a
little disappointing.
Vape events are known for their live music and I thought the tunes
played by the DJs at this event were particularly good and really
added to the atmosphere as did the brightly coloured spotlights
which cross-crossed the venue from the four corners, catching
the vapour in the air as they swooped around.
The catering at the venue was of high quality with a large selection
of items on offer and, while not cheap, certainly reasonably priced
compared with other expos I have attended.
There does seem to be something of a resurgence in the Spanish
e-cigarette industry of late and events like this can only help move
things along in the right direction.
