WHAT VAPER EXPO MEANS TO ME…
VAPER EXPO HOST JOHNNIE LOVELL OF BH VAPE ON HIS EXPERIENCE THIS OCTOBER
If you could take every quality of the Vaper Expo’s more amusing
and ecstatic side and condense them into one person, you would
probably end up with someone like Johnnie Lovell. A perpetual
optimist with an infectious love of the vape business and the people
within it, Johnnie’s presence at the Expo is indispensable. As the
owner of Bournemouth’s BH Vape and now a host for vape shows
around the country, Johnnie has cemented his place as one of the
community’s most fun figureheads; always one to raise morale in
trying times or get the party started. It’s easy to see why, considering
his background. Johnnie has moulded his act and persona over the
years into effortlessness, commanding a stage and captivating an
audience comes as natural to him as breathing.
At Vaper Expo UK: The Return, Johnnie reprised his role one of
the two masters of ceremonies – along with co-host, Ashley of
Strawberry Queen. The lively duo saw us through a momentous
Expo and Vapouround Awards ceremony in May, and had brought
their A-game to this October’s Celebration of Vaping, helping the
event live up to its tagline.
I FEEL AT HOME
ON A STAGE

Johnnie says, speaking with awe and reverence of his experiences,
with the usual animated flair. “Obviously there’s loads of great acts
and speakers and companies that get up on the stage at the Expo,
but I felt there was one gap that hadn’t been filled; something to
welcome the newcomers in, make them feel more at home and
keep them entertained throughout the weekend.”
