Although expo trips don’t always afford much spare time, this one did and for that I’m glad. Central Kiev has a very unique style of architecture and thanks to a metro system that is both incredibly cheap and contains escalators that seem to never end, it’s very easy to explore. If I had any concerns about the potential of the vaping industry in Ukraine it would be solely on the fi nancial side. Everything is so incredibly cheap in Kiev it’s my personal opinion that price points on both hardware and juices would have to be very carefully thought through for it to be accessible to the masses. As ever though with an industry that is incredibly innovative I’m sure this is an obstacle that can be conquered. It’s obviously easy for me to sign off with a generic, “looking forward to the next show”, but in this case there’s nothing generic about it. Smile-Expo have their next show in Moscow on the 8-10th December and I am looking forward to it…..immensely so. VM14 | 137
