Expo prize-winners include one lucky vaper who
drove home in a brand-new Volkswagen Golf-R
As far as expos go, I was fortunate that my fi rst was
Europe’s biggest and most prestigious – the must-do,
bi-annual Vaper Expo UK.
In the days and weeks leading up to the event I read loads of
reviews of previous expos and trawled YouTube for videos
to give me an idea of what to expect when I got there.
Alongside the models, the crazy stands and the endless
sea of vapers, one Expo staple that that cropped up again
and again was the main stage giveaway. Reps fl inging
t-shirts, e-liquids and occasionally mods into a baying
crowd of vapers as music throbbed in the background.

But the videos didn’t show all the competitions going at
the stands themselves. Of course, it makes sense to lure
people to your stand with the potential to win big prizes.
For all the clever ways businesses try to attract potential
customers these days, the ‘fl ashy car’ model is as effective
as it is time-honoured, so I wasn’t surprised to see so many
photos of vapers sitting in the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
beside the Vaporized stand.
We’ll fi nd out at the end of the year if one of them won
the Lambo (or indeed any of their other prizes, such as
the Caribbean holiday and the ‘design your own juice’
12-month royalties).
Some other big winners have already been announced.
Vapeorders.com and Froot Vape joined forces to offer
one lucky vaper and a friend an expenses-paid trip to
Amsterdam. Instagram-user @devongirlvapes scooped the
prize and will be jetting off to the Dutch capital in January.
