LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Welcome to another edition of Vapouround USA Magazine and our last edition
of 2016.
This has been an amazingly busy year and one which has seen a lot of things
happening within the industry and within Vapouround itself.
It has been a year in which the US vaping industry has had to deal with the impact
of regulation which has already seen many businesses shut up shop.
Government regulation is something which is here to stay and is something which
will continue to have a huge impact on the way the industry grows and develops.
We have seen a lot of US companies expand into new markets, especially in the
UK and Europe and there are certainly many opportunities within the large vaping
communities in Europe and beyond.
In the last few months we have continued to visit many vaping events around
the world including the first ever World Series of Vaping in Miami. Check out our
Vapouround on Tour section for full reports on the shows we have attended.
Back in the UK, we brought our double-decker Vapouround bus to Vaper Expo UK in
Birmingham and that went down really well with the vaping public.
While we are talking about Birmingham, we will be bringing our second annual
Vapouround Awards Ceremony to the NEC in Birmingham on Friday May 26, 2017.

is taking place at the same venue over this weekend.
