March 25-26 th by Stephen Tarpey

March 25th & 26th saw the second incarnation of the Orlando Vapor Show , held at the Central Florida Fairgrounds convention centre organised by Mark Evans Jr . Who is also one of the organisers for the world Vapor expo in Miami , one of the biggest Vaping shows internationally . The Orlando shows are smaller and more intimate than the annual World Vapor Expo . This time about 50 exhibitors were present . The show got off to a slow start with footfall quite low on the first morning this was due to these being B2B sessions , but even for the B2B session it was a bit pedestrian . Later in the afternoon it started to pick up with more B2C people showing up . Throughout the two days there was a series of poker tournaments held on the main stage , and a mini casino open to showcase a new brand called vape poker . All of this adding to the theatrics of the show . It was obvious that some of the vendors invested heavily in their stands with some beautifully designed stands on offer from the exhibitors .
