“The three-day expo will attract over 300
exhibitors from more than 40 countries,
showcasing the very latest in hardware and
juice. Visitors get the chance to sample all
that’s new in the vaping world, get their
hands on dozens of freebies, relax in the
bar and chillout zones and be entertained
by our resident DJ and compères. There’s
never a dull moment at the show with
exhibitors all vying to stay one step ahead
with crazy competitions and giveaways.”
for the changes which define an industry,
a place where game-changing deals are
made. In addition to seeing the start of our
magazine, the show has been the platform
for the vaunted Vapouround Awards.
Delivering on this much hype twice a year
means the team must keep the spirit of
The Vaper Expo active and their visitors
happy, as organisers know.
“The Vaper Expo really is the must-attend
vaping event of the year. We always
bring even more to the show than ever
before with designated feature zones and
entertainment areas.”
The Vaper Expo is split between a B2B day
on Friday and a B2C weekend, but neither
area has been privileged over the other.
“We will once again be focussing on
bringing the cream of the B2B element
to the show, along with their most valued
and dedicated customers via an extensive
distribution of tickets and offers.”
But the expo is far from inward-looking. It’s
an essential spot, not just for British vapers,
but vapers all over the world. The expo has
always been the perfect launching pad for
new companies and new products from
every level of the trade. You’ll get a first-
hand, front and centre experience of such
cutting-edge releases before anyone else.
And at the expo, the personal touch is
never neglected. Once there, you’ll also
get to meet your favourite shop owners,
hardware crafters, juice mixers, reviewers
and industry advocates. The May show
introduced the Media Meet and Greet,
where you could connect with vaping’s
most colourful characters. We also saw
the profile of YouTube reviewers and
personalities raised at that show, given their
indispensable role in popularising vaping on
social media.
The Vaper Expo UK has grown from an
outing, to an experience, to a full-blown
institution of British and global vaping.
According to an expo press release,
the show is “quickly transforming into
a weekend event and with many other
activities, restaurants, hotels and facilities
onsite why not make a weekend of it?”
Though the expo has plenty of style, it
never neglects substance. It’s a catalyst
Hopes are still high, as early bird ticket
sales for October were sold out by late
June. Those 300 exhibitors are racing
to the end of October with a full head
of steam, inspired and encouraged by
what they can give to you. So, if you’re
a vaper or involved in the trade and you
don’t have tickets to the show, cancel
your existing Halloween plans and book
your place as soon as possible. If you’re
a first-timer, we envy you – that feeling of
discovery and wonderment we felt during
our first trip three years ago. The strength
and promising future of Britain’s vaping
industry grants us a litany of experiences,
and the Vaper Expo UK is one we all have
in common. More and more vapers these
days have their own “expo story” and we
hope you’ll have yours soon.
