VAPEXPO LILLE , FRANCE MARCH 24 - 26
Being in the lucky position of travelling the world on behalf of Vapouround to visit expos , I ’ ve found myself slowly but surely evolving from a person scared of flying to a person who has become rather relaxed about it . In the last 18 months I ’ ve clocked up just over 75,000 miles . The expo in Lille was therefore a first for me . There was to be no plane . Instead there was the Eurostar . It made for a very relaxing journey . The security was smoother , the luggage scenario less of a hassle and all in all it was an excellent way to start another trip . I was excited about the expo itself as well . I ’ d been last year to a previous event by the same organisers in Lyon and I ’ d been very impressed . I was interested to see if the expo in Lille would be of the same high standard and I wasn ’ t disappointed . Geographically there was a mix of companies from around the globe and additionally a nice mix between hardware and juice companies . It was particularly nice to talk to the guys from Enovap . Their upcoming mod promised to be something
special and offers the chance for the user to alter their nicotine strength throughout the day – something I feel would be ideal for a smoker who perhaps needs a higher strength at the start of the day without needing it at that level all day . It was a pleasure as ever to chat with I VG who once again seemed to be having a stellar show and as always the stand at Twelve Monkeys was constantly packed with people as their stand always is . Busy as they were , Rich and Sam from Twelve Monkeys kindly freed up some time for a sit down chat and , as ever , they were real professionals and awesome guys too . The subject of the chat ? Something exciting that you ’ ll be finding out a lot more about over the coming months . All in all it was a throughly enjoyable expo and once again , as it was with Lyon the year before , full credit to the organisers for putting on such an excellent show . As the expo calendar continues to get more and more crowded , I ’ d recommend that you keep an eye on the events they organise and find a way to attend these excellent vape shows . I certainly will be .
