Issue 6

The UK and Ireland’s Leading Vape Lifestyle Magazine

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Hello and welcome to our first anniversary special edition of Vapouround Magazine. What a year it has been. A crazy, non-stop, whirlwind of a year where we have achieved so much and come so far.

I would like to start by thanking all of the Vapouround Magazine staff who have worked tirelessly over the past year to produce, what is in my mind, the leading vaping magazine in the country, if not the world.

I would also like to thank all the businesses who have supported us, many of whom were with us from our very first issue, all the vapers who read our magazine and all those who have given us feedback, suggestions and advice along the way

We will carry on striving to create a top class vaping publication for you to enjoy and we hope to keep growing as this amazing industry continues to grow, prosper and develop.

In this edition we take a look back at the year that has just flown past as well as looking ahead to the future.

We take a note of the changes we have seen over the past year in an industry which is also sure to see a lot of change in the future as we move into a world where we are more tightly regulated than ever before.

We recently launched the first edition of our Vapouround USA magazine which we are sure will be as big a success as the UK edition has become.

We are excited now to be looking forward to the next Vaper Expo UK in October and we will be working hard with the organisers of that event between now and then as their official media partners.

The most important piece of news is that we have launched the Vapouround Bus which we would like everyone to keep an eye out for and you can read all about it in this issue.

There are many exciting projects that we are working on now and which will be revealed in the very near future and these include our very own juice line and a chain of vape lounges throughout the UK.

With your continued support we will carry on going from strength to strength.

Anger As House of Lords Move

To Block The TPD In The UK Fails

t the time the vote had been due to take place more than 52,000 UK vapers had signed an online petition to the Prime Minister and Opposition leader calling for MPs to block the implementation of the Tobacco Products Directive.

The Lords move was spearheaded by Conservative Lord Callanan who argued that the new regulations failed to take account of recent medical opinion that vaping was significantly less harmful than smoking and could save millions of lives in the UK.

Explaining the decision to withdraw the motion, Lord Callanan wrote: “It became apparent that, despite the valiant efforts of many in the vaping community, there was no chance of Labour and/or Lib Dems supporting my motion.

“I therefore consulted some of my Parliamentary backers and they all agreed that there was no point in pursuing the debate when we were certain to lose, probably overwhelmingly.

“The next best option was to amend the motion in the hope that the opposition may be persuaded to support a highly critical ‘regret motion instead, which is what I have done. I am in discussions

with the Chief Whip to have the debate in ‘Prime time’, when we can ensure maximum coverage.

“The situation is not ideal and I appreciate that many vapers will feel let down but I feel that this is best option under the circumstances.”

The vaping petition page at change.org was highly critical of the failure of MPs to back the move to get the TPD overturned in the UK.

It said: “No politician has done more for vaping than the incredibly courageous Martin Callanan. As an MEP and now in the House of Lords he has fought like a tiger for vaping.

“He is the man who more than any other in the European Parliament successfully fought off compulsory medicinal regulation of e-cigarettes which would have completely killed vaping for 500 million Europeans.

“However in the UK Parliament, he has not been able to block the pro EU Commission instincts of Labour’s Shadow Health Secretary, Heidi Alexander.

“Despite Labour’s leader Jeremy Corbyn having described the TPD as “perverse” and “contradictory”, Labour has announced that it will vote against Lord

Callanan’s fatal motion against the TPD. Sadly there is simply now no chance of the Lords vote being won.”

Labour’s Heidi Alexander, in a response to a vaper who condemned the party’s failure to support the Lords motion, said it would be wrong to block the TPD. She wrote: “Whilst we believe the Government does need to do more to address concerns of vapers, Labour is not able to support annulling these regulations given their wider benefits. “Overall, I believe these regulations as a whole will help reduce the uptake of smoking amongst young people, and help ensure the safety and quality of e-cigarettes.”

Referring to Labour’s concerns about the TPD she wrote: “The Labour Party’s concerns include the failure of the Government to establish a monitoring mechanism to measure whether the directive will have a negative impact on the number of smokers using electronic cigarettes, and the failure of the Government to launch a public awareness campaign re-assuring smokers that vaping is much less harmful than smoking.”

The House of Lords bid to block the TPD in the UK dramatically failed when Labour and the Lib/Dems said they would not support the controversial move.

THE RETURN

So Vaper Expo UK 2016 has been and gone for another year… well not quite.

Not content with holding an event in May which was three times larger than the pervious year, Vaper Expo is coming back for a second time this year.

Many of the exhibitors said they did not want to wait a whole year until it came round again so, by popular demand, “Vaper Expo 2016 - The Return” will take place at Birmingham’s NEC Hall 1 from October 14 to 16.

This is the first Vaper Expo which has been held since the TPD has become law and the main effect is that the organisers can no longer offer any sponsorship deals but billboard and banner advertising around the event is still allowed as this does not infringe on TPD advertising rules.

The organisers said: “Many of our UK and European exhibitors already know the ins and outs of the TPD and what they need to do to comply but many of our international exhibitors do not.

“A lot of people have been asking if they can only sell 10ml bottles at the event and the answer is ‘no.’

“We made sure that the second event of this year was before the TPD regulations are enforced on manufacturers.

You have until 20th November to make your products compliant and retailers

have until the 20th May 2017 to sell any existing stock that is not compliant. “This means you can still come and retail & wholesale your products, 30ml, 60ml or 120ml bottles are still allowed and retailers want to stock up as much as they can as after 20th November they will no longer be able to purchase them directly from the manufacturer.”

All three days of the event will be business to business days with Friday being the main business to business day and the Saturday and Sunday also being business to consumer days.

The May event this year featured 110,000 sq ft of floor space, 230 exhibitors, 15,000 visitors and 1,800 B to B visitors.

One of the things the organisers have learned from the shows they have already held is that a lot of visitors like to arrive early so that they can be amongst the first in when the doors open.

With this in mind, for the first time at this event, the entrance queue will be designed around a central entrance stage with pre-show entertainment and giveaways even before the doors even open.

It is not unusual for early bird visitors to turn up two or three hours before the

official opening time, so this time round they will be entertained while they wait.

FOR THE PUBLIC

The Vaper Expo UK is the ultimate day out for any vaping enthusiast. In addition to hundreds of world-renowned brands exhibiting, there is also a whole host of entertainment to keep visitors busy. Visitors can chill out, relax and rebuild their devices in the purpose-built build area and there will be many freebies, give-aways and competitions during the event.

A DJ will be at the Expo and the everpopular bar and chill out area is also making a comeback too.

FOR THE TRADE

Friday October 14 is the dedicated B2B only day which will allow shop owners, distributors, sales reps, marketing agencies and any other vape professionals to network and make contacts.

Dedicated business seminars will also be running throughout the day and are a great way to get up to date with any forthcoming legislation and offer practical business advice.

Vaper Expo UK - The Return. NEC, Birmingham. October 14 to 16, 2016.

DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME

American YouTuber Films Himself Vaping World’s Hottest Chilli Pepper

Vape fan Russell Hawkins is passionate about two things in life… his vaping and his love for super hot chilli peppers.

They are two passions he managed to share side by side until one day he had a brilliant (or perhaps not so brilliant) idea and decided to combine the two.

American Russell wondered what it would be like to vape the world’s hottest chilli so he embarked on a little experiment and shared the results with his YouTube subscribers.

He decided to use the Carolina Reaper chilli as his new vape flavour - the variety which is regarded as the world’s hottest chilli pepper scoring a massive 2.2 million units on the Scoville scale of chilli hotness.

If 2.2 million Scovilles sounds hot then it is. By way of comparison a standard Jalapeño chille comes in at around 2,500 Scoville units.

The stunt that Russell did has been likened to drinking liquid pepper spray and that is also something that you really shouldn’t do at home, or anywhere else for that matter.

Russell first dried the the chilli and then

ground it down into a fine powder which he added to a chocolate coffee flavoured vape juice and allowed the mixture to steep for three weeks.

He said: “I like to have a coffee every morning with some Carolina Reaper added to it for a bit of a kick and this is my morning coffee every day.

“I figured that as I already had this chocolate cappuccino flavour e-liquid then it would be ideal to add some Carolina Reaper to it so I ground it down into a really fine powder and took it from there.”

After he had done steeping the liquid to ensure the chilli was well and truly infused into the juice, he dripped it onto a Sigelei 150 watt box mod and vaped it at 80 watts.

As he dropped the fiery liquid onto his wick he warned viewers not to copy his stunt and then looked worried as he prepared to vape the liquid.

At one stage it looked as though he might back down but he quickly took a large lung full of the home-made e-liquid and waited for the effects to kick in.

He did not have to wait long at all. Almost immediately he was coughing and spluttering and then shortly afterwards he was violently sick into a bucket.

Russell said between coughs: “Oh God, Oh God. My lungs are on fire.” Amazingly he then decided to snort some of the red hot powder as his next trick with predictable results. This time he told viewers: “Oh my God. My nose is on fire.”

He reported that the stunts had made him violently sick for ten minutes and said he was thankful that he did not need to call for paramedics after the fiery hits. It does not look like this will be Russell’s new all day vape and he doesn’t think it should be yours either.

His final words of warning were: “Once again, don’t try this bullshit at home. Don’t do this. Don’t do it at all.

It’s not good. I didn’t need 911, but definitely don’t ever try to vape anything hot, especially the world’s hottest pepper.” Having seen the video I think it fair to say that this is one flavour which is unlikely to catch on any time soon.

EU TAXATION CHANGES COULD PUSH UP E-CIGARETTE PRICES

The European Commission is considering whether to bring in new legislation which would remove ‘inconsistencies’ in the way tobacco and e-cigarettes are taxed. Duty on cigarettes is currently at least 57 per cent of the retail price and

VAT adds another 20 per cent to the total whereas e-cigarettes are only subject to VAT.

If e-cigarettes were brought into line with tobacco then a device costing £23 would more than double in price to £54. Deborah Arnott, of the health charity ASH, told The Times that any such move may discourage smokers from switching to e-cigarettes.

She said: “If the EU were to require states to tax electronic cigarettes like tobacco products it would be detrimental to public health. It would discourage smokers from switching.”

An EU Commission spokesman said the review was at a very early stage, telling the Daily Mail: “The review of current rules for excise duty on tobacco and tobacco products has only just started.

'EU Member States, including the UK, have instructed the Commission to evaluate the current rules and that is what we will do.

'Before taking any

decisions, we would need to carry out an impact assessment, a public consultation and carry out a lot more technical work. It is far too early to predict the conclusions of this review, if any.

“The Commission will carefully listen to EU governments and fully consider their requests and views.”

EUObserver.com reported that draft conclusions from the European Council said that e-cigarettes, as well as other “novel” products, could cause “inconsistencies and legal uncertainty” in the single market if they stayed exempt from excise tax.

They added that increasing taxation on e-cigarettes could help meet “public health objectives” and went on to say that work on the new tax regime should be “intensified” if “the market share of such products show a tendency to increase”.

The price of e-cigarettes could rise dramatically if the European Union introduces new rules to bring them into the same tax regime as regular tobacco.

“THE COMMISSION WILL CAREFULLY LISTEN TO EU GOVERNMENTS AND FULLY CONSIDER THEIR REQUESTS AND VIEWS.”

Watch How We Drive A Bus Through The Myth That The TPD Bans All Advertising

We wanted to get across the idea that it is a myth that the TPD bans all forms of advertising when it comes to vaping products.

In fact we wanted to drive a bus through that piece of misinformation so that is exactly what we decided to do.

As a result, we are now the proud owners of a colourful Vapouround double decker bus and it could soon be coming to a city near you. But why does any of that matter?

Well while the EU-wide TPD does ban advertising in general there are a few exceptions which make it fall short of an overall blanket ban on advertising. For example advertising is permitted at point of sale, on billboards, on buses, as inserts in printed media and as product information on websites.

So that is why we went out and purchased ourselves a bus.

Our totally TPD-compliant bus will be able to feature adverts which are not allowed in newspapers, magazines or online as these are still totally legal on our bus.

This is good news because our eye-catching bus is going to stop people in their tracks wherever it goes and we plan to take full advantage of the advertising opportunities it provides.

Well rather you could take full advantage of all the advertising opportunities it provides and the great thing is that this totally

compliant method of reaching your target audience is really effective at getting your message across.

There’s room for promotions galore on this eye-catching vehicle which can act as a perfect base to promote your business and attract new customers.

It’s a vehicle for advertising you and what your business has to offer – and advertising it to the Great British public. The opportunities are wide and varied from window adverts where you can fully target the consumer to juices that can be sampled inside the bus itself and from leaflets that are TPD-legal to goodies

and giveaways that promote your brand. Fully refurbished on the inside and containing meeting spaces, juice samples, vaping literature, video displays, refreshments and a sound system, the Vapouround Bus is both the perfect and most eye-catching medium available in the UK to legally promote your business to the public. We will be releasing the schedule soon of when and where you can expect to see the bus but we can give you one date for your diary right now. It will be loud and proud at the Vaper Expo at the NEC in October.

It’s bold, It’s brash, And it’s legal. It’s the Vapouround Bus.

A COMPREHENSIVE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF AN E-CIGARETTE AEROSOL

By Marina Murphy, BAT

These past few years have seen a lot of talk and a lot of press coverage about what exactly is in an e-cigarette aerosol. Most people understand very well that what goes in (to the e-liquid) is not the same as what comes out (vapour). The process of heating the e-liquid creates some new compounds depending on the components of the e-liquid and the device used. So knowing exactly what the aerosol is composed of, is a vital first step to understanding the potential for reducing risk. Given how many people now use e-cigarettes (current estimates in Great Britain is 2.8M people (ASH factsheet number 33, May 2016), it is perhaps surprising to think that to date, there have been few studies or publications examining the broad chemical composition of whole e-cigarette aerosols, with most studies focusing on specific compound groups. Some specific compounds or groups of compounds do of course warrant special attention, but it is important to understand the nature of the whole e-cigarette aerosol especially in the context of how it compares with smoke and how it will impact consumers’ overall exposure to toxicants.

A new study (in press) has described the most comprehensive chemical

comparison to date of the vapour from a closed modular e-cigarette (Vype ePen) and cigarette smoke.

The results show significant reductions, on average 95%,in toxicants in the vapour of the e-cigarette tested compared to cigarette smoke.

TOXICANTS AND TESTING

So what toxicants to test for? Cigarette smoke has been the subject of intense study for a long time, so there is a lot of information on what is in there.

Over six thousand compounds have been identified as being present in the swirling mix of chemicals that is cigarette smoke, of which about 150 compounds are known to be toxicants.

Which compounds do we need to be concerned about and which compounds do we need to be testing for in e-cigarette aerosols?

The question of which compounds in cigarette smoke are the most significant in terms of disease risk is something that scientists and regulators have been looking at for a number of years. They haven’t all come up with exactly the same answers but they have provided guidance on which compounds they deem to be harmful or potentially harmful. In this study, scientists from British American Tobacco tested for a total

of 142 compounds in vapour from Vype ePen, a commercially available e-cigarette. These compounds include those listed by the US Food and Drug Administration as harmful or potentially harmful (HPHC), compounds listed by the World Health Organisation, and compounds listed by Health Canada. A comparison between the vapour from Vype ePen and 3R4F – a reference cigarette – revealed substantial reductions in the e-Pen emissions for all toxicant groups measured, on average 95%. Most cigarette smoke toxicants could not be detected in the e-cigarette vapour.

This and other tests form part of a suite of tests being developed at British American Tobacco to test novel tobacco and nicotine products and could be used to help develop standards for these products in the future.

An independent regulatory approved laboratory was used to conduct the testing and the products were puffed using puffing robots in separate rooms and the emissions collected.

Because the levels of some constituents in e-cigarette vapour were anticipated to be very low, the laboratory air was also tested to eliminate the possibility of contamination and false positives. The following aerosol constituents

“Currently there are no standardised testing regimes for e-cigarettes and other next generation nicotine products. We and others in the industry are developing and embracing new approaches to safety testing in order to better understand our products and hopefully contribute to the establishment of standardised testing protocols for the future.”

were tested for: carbon/nitrogen oxides, carbonyls/dicarbonyls, alcohols/dialcohols, phenols, o-heterocycles, chlorinated dioxins/furans; volatile, substituted and, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons; amides, azines, aromatic and aliphatic amines, nicotine and related compounds, nitrosamines, metals and radionuclides.

Comparison of toxicant emissions between Vype e-Pen and 3R4F were conducted on a per-puff basis.

The 3R4F reference cigarette was developed at the University of Kentucky and has been used in tobacco studies for decades. This means that any results can be compared to a body of historical data and researchers can be assured that they are comparing like with like. In this case the results revealed a reduction of 99% for WHO and FDA truncated lists, and over 92% for the full FDA HPHC list.

Four aerosol constituents were measured at higher per-puff levels in e-cigarette vapour than from 3R4F – propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerine (VG), menthol and chromium.

Dr Kevin McAdam, Head of Research, Next Generation Products, British American Tobacco said: ‘We expected to see PG and VG and menthol in the aerosol as they are used to make e-liquid (menthol is used as a flavouring)’. The presence of chromium was attributed to the nichrome wire used for the heating element, but daily exposures were estimated to lower than that for smoking.

Dr Kevin McAdam went on to explain: ‘Currently there are no standardised testing regimes for e-cigarettes and other next generation nicotine products. We and others in the industry are developing and embracing new approaches to safety testing in

order to better understand our products and hopefully contribute to the establishment of standardised testing protocols for the future.’

British American Tobacco and other companies are working with CORESTA, a science-focused industry group on developing accepted methods for testing e-cigarettes and analysing e-liquids and aerosols. CORESTA is working in conjunction with ISO to create standards for e-cigarettes. ISO or the International Organization for Standardization is responsible for setting common standards that facilitate trade between nations, covering everything from manufactured products and technology to food safety, agriculture and healthcare.

This study and others like it help to establish the simple composition of e-cigarette vapour and reduced toxicant levels compared to cigarette smoke. However, it is just the first step of a process of testing that would be required to establish the reduced risk potential of e-cigarettes and other products. This process requires lab-based

biological testing to establish what impact if any, the aerosol has on human cells, understanding how consumers use the products, assessment of the product in a clinical environment, and finally, testing of the real-world use to help determine what impact, if any, a reduction in toxicants will have on a person’s individual risk and also on the collective risk of the population using the products.

Many in the public health community believe e-cigarettes offer great potential for reducing the public health impact of smoking. Public Health England, an executive body of the UK Department of Health, recently published a report saying that e-cigarettes are 95% less harmful than cigarettes. The Royal College of Physicians have said that the public can be reassured that e-cigarettes are much safer then smoking and that they should be widely promoted as an alternative to cigarettes. Cancer Research UK and the British Heart Foundation are also of the view that e-cigarettes are substantially less harmful than smoking.

The newly-emerging vaping culture should be seen as an ideal opportunity to encourage people to switch from smoking to a far safer way of obtaining nicotine, according to a UK university professor.

Marcus Munafo, Professor of Biological Psychology at the University of Bristol, said the popularity of e-cigarettes is something which we can take advantage of to dramatically improve public health. He said: “Tobacco still kills six million people around the world every year. Despite huge public health efforts to help people quit and prevent young people starting, smoking remains the single greatest cause of ill health and premature death.”

He said e-cigarettes were growing in popularity, developing their own vapingbased culture and delivered nicotine “almost as effectively as a conventional cigarette, but without the vast majority of other chemicals present in tobacco smoke.”

In a blog post for the online academic magazine The Conversation, Professor Munafo wrote: “The rapid growth in use of e-cigarettes, especially among smokers trying to cut down or quit, has taken the public health community and the tobacco industry by surprise. Both are struggling to catch up.

“Many devices offer a range of power settings, and a vast array of e-liquids is on offer, with varying nicotine contents and flavours. Enthusiasts often apply modifications to their devices, and

“And yes, young people are experimenting with e-cigarettes (in the same way that they have always experimented with pretty much everything), although at the moment there is no strong evidence this is leading to subsequent cigarette use, or even longterm e-cigarette use.”

engage in “cloud chasing” – competing to produce the largest and most interesting clouds of vapour.

“And yes, young people are experimenting with e-cigarettes (in the same way that they have always experimented with pretty much everything), although at the moment there is no strong evidence this is leading to subsequent cigarette use, or even long-term e-cigarette use.”

He said there was “some consensus” in the UK that smokers should be encouraged to use vaping as a means of giving up smoking.

Professor Munafo said: “Part of the reason many vapers feel so passionately about the subject (and react strongly when they feel that vaping is being unfairly attacked) is that for the first time, through the use of e-cigarettes, they have felt able to take control of their nicotine habit, stop smoking, and

reassert some control over their health, without being medicalised in the process.”

He said the lack of information on the possible harm of e-cigarettes was a problem which was unlikely to change any time soon as it could take several decades to begin to see any longterm effects of vaping.Despite this the professor concluded: “Nothing is entirely risk-free, but the vastly reduced number of chemicals present in e-cigarette vapour compared to tobacco smoke means we can be confident that vaping will be much, much less harmful than smoking.

“Nicotine is addictive, but much less so on its own than in tobacco, where other chemicals enhance its effect. At the doses consumed by vapers the harm is likely to be very low (although we need to continue to research this), and many vapers actually gradually move to zero nicotine content e-liquids, even while continuing to vape.

“We must be careful not to restrict smokers’ access to e-cigarettes, or over-state the potential harm of their use, if this will put people off making the transition from smoking to vaping. To do so would deny us one of the greatest public health improving opportunities of the last 50 years.”

*Professor Munafo’s research focuses on understanding pathways into, and the consequences of, health behaviours and mental health, with a particular focus on tobacco and alcohol use.

All our 100% VG e-liquids are completely PG free (including the flavouring) and our Max VG e-liquids only contains a small amount of PG in the flavouring.

Most people that have an intolerance to PG are perfectly fine with our max VG liquids, but if you are highly sensitive or simply wish to cut out PG completely we have a big selection of 100% VG E-liquids from top brands at your disposal.

E-CIGARETTES HELP UK SMOKERS QUIT

A recent study has found that almost one million UK smokers used an e-cigarette as opposed to prescription medicine or behavioural support, to quit traditional cigarettes.

Just under 40 per cent of the country’s 8.5 million adult smokers tried to give up the habit in 2014 according to the study from University College London. Of those, 28.2 per cent (891,000) used electronic cigarettes to help them stop smoking.

Earlier research had suggested that using an e-cigarette as an aid to quitting smoking could increase the chances of success by around 50 per cent compared with using no support, nicotine gum or skin patches.

The researchers said that the use of e-cigs to help quit smoking had led to an additional 22,000 people quitting regular cigarettes - people who would have failed to stop smoking had they not turned to e-cigarettes.

Professor Robert West, who led the research team, said: “E-cigarettes appear to be helping a significant number of smokers to stop who would not have done otherwise - not as many as some e-cigarette enthusiasts claim,

but a substantial number nonetheless.

“There have been claims by some public health researchers that e-cigarettes undermine quitting if smokers use them just to cut down, and that they act as a gateway into smoking.

“These claims stem from a misunderstanding of what the evidence can tell us at this stage, but this is clearly something we need to watch carefully.'

Professor Peter Hajek, director of the Tobacco Dependence Research Unit at Queen Mary University of London, said:

“E-cigarettes have a potential to reduce smoking related morbidity and many smokers are successful

in making the switch from smoking to vaping.

“Specialist smoking cessation services are currently not offering e-cigarettes and are seeing a marked decline in interest.

“This is unfortunate, as it is likely that even more smokers would switch to vaping successfully if e-cigarettes were combined with behavioural support that the services provide.”

MARKET RESEARCH EXPERTS PREDICT GLOBAL VAPE MARKET WILL REACH OVER $50 Billion By 2025

ts report “Global Vape MarketStrategic Assessment and Forecast Till 2021” says that factors driving the growth of the market include consumers’ perception of vapor products as an alternative to traditional tobacco cigarettes.

The report said: “There is increased desire among consumers worldwide to quit smoking tobacco and this has made vaping a rapidly growing concept worldwide. “The global sales volume of traditional cigarettes has declined owing to an increase in sales of e-cigarette and vaping. The US witnessed about 19% decline altogether in traditional cigarette sales among adults, i.e., a drop from 20 of every 100 adults (19.8%) in 2008 to nearly 16 of every 100 adults (15.7%) in 2015.

“Due to this, the majority of the global players in the tobacco industry witnessed a massive decline in the shipment of traditional cigarettes in 2015, prompting bigger tobacco companies like Altria Group, Imperial Tobacco, and Reynolds American to rush into the vapor products market.

“Also, the increasing number of deaths caused by smoking-related cancer has propelled people to stop smoking traditional cigarettes. For instance, as per the US government, approximately 480,000 people, due to active smoking, and nearly 42,000 people, due to passive

smoking, die in the country every year.

The tobacco smoking is attributed to one in every five deaths in the US.”

It lists increasing government regulation of the vaping industry as one of the major challenges faced by the industry and points out that vape products are banned in many major economies such as Brazil, Japan, and Indonesia.

It adds: “Also, the governments of Poland and India are considering imposing a complete ban on the sale and use of these products.

“In March 2016, the US Department of Transportation (DOT) banned the use of e-cigarette, vape pens and vaporizer or vapes in flights.

“Regulatory bodies are still not clear on how much nicotine or other chemicals are actually being inhaled by the body while vaping.

In addition, the effectiveness of these products in helping people quit smoking has not been fully studied.”

In a second major report “Global E-Cigarette & Vaporizer MarketAnalysis & Forecast Through 2015 to 2025” Research and Markets predicts that the worldwide vape products market will rise to US$50 billion by 2025.

It says: “The global e-cigarette market

is expected to grow over $50 billion by 2025, at an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.36% from 2015 to 2025.

“The market will witness a staggering growth until 2017, by when most of the regulatory and policy framework will fall into place. The growth rate will significantly increase thereafter, with significant revenue generation from evolving markets of APAC and Europe.

“Moreover, while disposable e-cigarettes dominated the global e-cigarette product market till 2014, rechargeable e-cigarettes, followed by personal vaporizers and mods will soon take over the top market positions in terms of revenue generation.

“The U.S. market will continue with its dominance through the forecast period, however, China is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR to become the second largest revenue generating country by the end of 2025.”

Research and Markets, the world’s largest market research store, has predicted that the worldwide market for vape products will reach approximately US$32 billion by 2021 and more than US $50 billion by 2025.

In 2014, Old Fashioned Elixir (OFE) was founded with one mission – develop the most authentic, best tasting tobacco flavored e-liquids in the world. The owners of OFE are passionate about helping smokers transition off cigarettes. Since many smokers prefer to start vaping with tobacco-flavored liquid, OFE Tobacco Lane’s Original Bold, Classic Light, Turkish Blend, and Cool Menthol provide the familiar comfort of the most popular cigarette brands. These tobacco flavors were carefully handcrafted to deliver the taste and experience of cigarettes without the harmful smoke.

With the proliferation of brands and flavors in the vape industry, many vapers struggle to find the right flavor for

them. Some flavor names are hard to understand or even bizarre. The owners of OFE wanted to make it easy for all vapers to find the greattasting, classic flavors that everyone loves. In 2015, OFE is introducing their new OFE Main Street line of easy-tounderstand flavors that are comfortable and familiar.

OFE Main Street’s flavors were handcrafted to reflect the timeless, classic flavors of a main street diner, like Apple Pie, Cup o’ Joe(award winning), Lemon Berry, and Peach Cobbler. OFE has crafted each of these flavors in the USA using only the finest food-grade ingredients and pharmaceuticalWgrade nicotine.

Each flavor is available in a range of nicotine strengths to help smokers not

only transition off cigarettes, but to also to step-down their nicotine intake over time.

This is all part of OFE’s commitment to help smokers kick the cigarette habit. These two lines – Main Street and Tobacco Lane – deliver the timeless flavors and classic comfort of Old Fashioned Elixir.

Vapers can buy OFE from their favorite vape shop or online at websites like www.skylinevapor.com

If you can’t find OFE at your local shop, let them know that OFE is distributed exclusively by Wolfpack Wholesale to hundreds of vape shops around the world.

Weird and Wonderful! TOP 10

Whether you call it e-liquid or e-juice there is a lot of it about. Are you someone who likes to stick to your own favourite most of the time or do you prefer to change things around as the mood takes you? We love finding new flavours and it is always great to find unexpected flavour combinations which work really well. With so much choice there are always new favourites to find all

the time. One thing is certain in the world of weird and wonderful juices… not everyone is going to agree on what is a hit and what is a miss. This edition sees a new crop of wonderfully weird juice names for your enjoyment. It is clear that a lot of juice manufacturers have a sense of humour which they are only too happy to get across in the products they sell.

Here is the list. How many have you come across?

Buddha Spit by DripStar Vapor

The first thing I wanted to know is where would you actually get the raw materials for this juice from? Luckily the answer was out there and is this: We traveled back in time to Nepal in the year 532 BC and asked Buddha what the greatest flavor to vape would be. He spit. We collected the sample, cloned the flavor and made this creamy fruit mix available to you. So there you have it.

Daft Spunk by Sleeping Dragon Vapor

On the one hand this is a pun, probably. A play on the name Daft Punk - a French electronic music duo best known for the hit Get Lucky. On the other hand it is a rather wonderful eggy, creamy vanilla custard which is the number one seller for Sleeping Dragon Vapor and which regularly picks up five star reviews from customers.

Unicorn Puke by Lost Art Liquids

If you like your e-liquid to come straight from the mouth of a unicorn then this is what you have been waiting for. But being unicorn puke it is flavoursome and yummy. Expect a rainbow sherbet ice cream flavour which is perfect for the hot weather.

Happy Pills by Maniac Vapor

This is a blend of sweet peach and delicious apricot and forms part of the company’s Asylum Series range of e-liquids which has been designed specifically for drippers and rebuildables users.

Dad’s Milk by BX Vapor

The same custardy base of mom’s milk, but with a blend of exotic fruits - mango, pineapple, dragon fruit, pear, banana and strawberry are some of the main fruit flavors in it. This actually started off as a test blend but has developed into one of the company’s top sellers. Way to go dad!

Fuster Cluck by Lung Candy

I think we are back to puns again and this is one Fuster Cluck that you will probably look forward to experiencing. This particular fuster cluck has the flavour of exotic fruits and pomegranate which sounds really refreshing indeed. It is described as a great, fruity all day vape which is exceptionally smooth but not too bold.

Alien Piss by Bomb Sauce E-liquid

Described as ‘deliciously peculiar’ this is refreshing with the cooling sensation of an ice cold lemonade mixed with nuances of blueberries and raspberries. will leave you wondering, “How could something this deliciously peculiar possibly come from this planet?”

Truth Serum by Doc Brown’s Private Stock

I tried this and immediately felt compelled to tell the truth, unless I am lying about this of course. However I am definitely telling the truth when I tell you that this is a combination of peach, melon, strawberry and pear. Sounds really refreshing.

Panty Dropper by Roc Juice

This is one of the company’s range of ‘spanked’ e-liquids which also include names such as ‘sweet spot’, ‘MILF’, and ‘1st nookie’ so there is a consistent theme going on here. Panty Dropper is butterscotch with a hint of banana.

Blow Me by Seduction E Juice

Well given that cloud chasing is a big thing, this could refer to blowing large clouds of vapour I guess? When it comes to taste then think of New York Cheesecake topped with extra long bananas and a spoon of thick peanut butter and you will have Blow Me just about nailed.

Top Ten Flavours To Tickle Your Taste - buds

The trend of sweet flavoured vapes goes from strength to strength, as desserts and fruit flavoured vapes feature heavily in this month’s list. A tropical fruit flavoured vape tops

the list this time round, and flavour profiles with summery tones continue to remain popular. We see a trend of buttery pastry and home-made biscuit flavours (starting

from the summer months into the long autumnal evenings) to continue wowing vapers across the country.

2Sweet

1Sophia by Pinup Vapors

If tropical flavoured clouds are your thing, you need to get your hands on this cloudtastic max VG blend (15% PG, 85% VG) now. Zingy lime and juicy cherries pack a fruity punch in this perfectly balanced sweet vape. This e-liquid is ideal for dripping, which also brings out an appetising limeade undertone.

and Sour Sugar Peach

by Beard Vape Co

Soft and subtle is the order of the day in this charming ‘peach cobbler with a twist’ flavoured e-liquid. The sweet fleshy peach flavour magically changes in seconds into a pleasantly surprising sour hit, reminiscent of sweet and sour treats from childhood. A wonderfully fragrant vape that will keep your taste-buds truly satisfied for hours.

3Croissant by Café Racer

This stunning e-liquid zooms into the charts to fly the flag for chocolate and pastry cream. Crispy flakes of buttery dough with lightly whipped almond cream is the inspiration here. There is a teeny tiny, Tom Thumb whisper of pepper on the swallow, which goes perfectly with the Belgian chocolate.

Space Rockz by Lost Art Liquids

4A strawberry explosion and refreshing kiwi fruit are the base notes of this moreish e-liquid. This pop rock inspired flavour is a joy to vape. This sweet vape has fantastic cloud production and is available in 50% PG, 50% VG. This fruit and candy flavoured e-liquid makes a great all day vape, and its unique flavour is moreish and a definite grower

5Blue Ballz by The Steam Factory

You’ll be thinking of a sweet and sassy blueberry ice-cream with this delicious vape. Candy is a popular theme in this issue’s Top Ten, as Blue Ballz channels those yummy lollipop flavours from when you were growing up. This inventive e-liquid takes the idea of a refreshing fruit juice and gives it a unique, magnificent twist by accentuating the sticky candy flavours to create a truly novel product.

Ghostberry by Steamjunk

6Berries provide the base notes in this delicious blueberry and raspberry blend. As the name suggests, there is just a ghost of a berry flavour, rendering this one of the subtlest vapes on the list. You get the gorgeous, slightly tart blueberry on the inhale, and a whisper of raspberry on the exhale. With a 17% PG, 83% VG, this is a great vape to chill out with – it also makes a good breakfast vape too.

7D’nish by D’nish E-liquids

Cherry pastry with a luxurious glaze makes this one of the more decadent vapes on this list. You’ll taste sweet and succulent cherries on the inhale, and buttery pastry on the exhale. Available in 30% PG, 70% VG, makes vapour production on this vape especially cloudy. This flavour profile is appealing to the masses, as it’s a hit with cherry lovers and non-fruit lovers alike.

8Alchemist’s Cupboard by Grape Jelly Doughnut

Freshly baked doughnuts oozing sweet rivers of grape jelly jam is what this vape is all about. This deliciously unique flavour is given a surprise twist, as you taste a good dollop of peanut butter on the exhale. As your mind plays catch up, you’ll realise this is the classic flavour combination of peanut butter and jelly – heaven.

Fried Cream Cakes by Liquid EFX

9This scrumptiously creamy vape is definitely a treat and one for special occasions. It channels dreamy vanilla, and light as air sponge, fried to a gorgeous golden hue with a dusting of icing sugar. There is a definite caramel scent, and the stunning butterscotch fragrance works really well with the vanilla base. With sponge cake on the inhale and cream on the exhale, this is one vape which will leave you with a big old smile on your face.

Waffle Stack by Cloud Island

10This is another one for those sweet-toothed vapers out there. Think of a mountainous stack of crunchy, deep-fried doughy waffles. Dust these bad boys in sugar, drizzle with syrup and serve with a generous topping of whipped cream and a succulent strawberry. This premium 20% PG, 80% VG e-liquid will ensure great cloud production too and is the perfect summery vape.

R o u stab o u t Barrel aged bourbon whiskey with creamy vanilla custard so smooth you won’t be able to stop yourself from going back for more.

LOOK HOW FAR WE’VE COME… ALL THIS IN JUST 12 MONTHS

This is our first birthday edition of Vapouround Magazine and to say that we have come a long way in just 12 months is something of a massive understatement.

We started the magazine as a direct result of a feature we ran in a local newspaper which we operated in the Derbyshire area at the time. What was to simply be a relatively small feature on vaping turned out to be a special pull-out supplement for Vaper Expo UK 2015 at Birmingham’s NEC. The supplement was given to everyone who attended the Vaper Expo and it went down so well with the advertisers, show organisers and the general public that we simply knew we could not leave it at that. We immediately saw the need for a lifestyle magazine for the vaping industry and from this Vapouround Magazine was born.

We worked tirelessly over the next six weeks to take the magazine from just an idea to a physical product and everyone put their heart and soul into doing so. Our aim was to launch the magazine at the upcoming Vapefest UK in Shrewsbury so the clock was ticking and we had to work fast if we were to meet the deadline.

Towards the end we were putting in quite a few late night sessions but everything went to plan and everyone who attended Vapefest UK received a copy of our first

magazine. Vapouround Magazine was no longer an idea, it was now real and the initial feedback was positive. In fact people kept coming up to us to tell us how much they liked the magazine and many wanted to take home extra copies for family members and friends. That was such a great feeling because it meant that all our hard work had paid off. By this time Vapefest Ireland was only a few weeks away so we met up with the organisers in Dublin. That meeting went well and we were asked to be the official media partners for the event.

We launched Issue Two at Vapefest Ireland and once again everyone at the show received a free copy and the feedback was even more positive this time - people really liked what we were doing and encouraged us to keep on growing.

Initially we had planned on a quarterly magazine (ie four issues a year) but we quickly moved to producing six issues a year simply to cope with the demand from advertisers who wanted to be featured on our pages.

Our vision has always been to make our magazine very different to other vaping magazines. We wanted it to stand out and we wanted it to be a true lifestyle

magazine offering the best stories from the vaping community.

We decided that the only way to really do this was through seeing it first-hand.

We asked ourselves if we weren’t at the biggest events, how could we report on it? If we didn’t engage with vapers across the world, how would we tell their story, so our journey truly began.

Since then we have been attending vaping events around the globe and we have had a wonderful reception from the international vaping community on all of our travels near and far.

Soon the Vapouround crew were regular features at shows and vaping events throughout the USA, Europe and Asia.

To date we must have been to around 40 events globally and it is by putting in that amount of effort and hard work to engage with the international vaping community that has allowed us to grow the way we have done.

We have now developed great contacts within the industry and formed business relationships with some of the biggest companies in vaping and we continue to do this as we grow our business and take it to the next level.

We are proud to be part of the vaping

community, in our never-ending quest to bring you the best stories from around the world we actively seek out partnerships with the flagship shows. There is no doubt that we have had a brilliant first 12 months - it is really hard to believe how much we achieved in such a short period of time. Working with Cuttwood, Suicide Bunny and many others has truly opened our eyes to what a great industry we represent and we are truly grateful for the support every one of these companies has shown us. Attending so many shows has allowed us the unique opportunity to engage with the vaping community in the UK, Europe, America and beyond. At the end of 2015 we were invited to the Houses of Parliament to meet with MPs and become further involved in the efforts to support this beautiful industry, we are proud to represent vapers in the UK.

Another huge event for us, our readers and our advertisers is our innovative use of new technology where we have taken Vapouround’s electronic platform to the next level in a really exciting way. Using state-of-the-art augmented reality technology we can transform Vapouround Magazine into Vapouround Movie-zine where adverts on our pages can come to life on your mobile device.

By downloading our app (available for both Apple and android devices) our readers can scan those adverts which contain the embedded technology and they will come to life before your very eyes.

under the ‘reviews’ section.

We also launched the very first Vapouround Magazine awards ceremony for the vaping industry this year. It was held at the NEC in the run up to the UK Vaper Expo and it brought together some of the biggest names in the industry from around the world.

It was great to see so many of our vaping friends from the USA come over for the event and we also raised a considerable amount of money for two great charitiesNora’s Dream and Help for Heroes.

In June, at the World Vaper Expo in Miami, we launched Vapouround Magazine USA so now we have magazines on both sides of the Atlantic.

consumers and businesses to a purely business to business magazine only. While the former was a huge restriction for us we also noticed that the TPD allowed advertising on buses for example. So we bought a bus and the Vapouround Bus will be touring the UK featuring totally legal and totally TPD compliant vaping industry advertising on it. (See a separate article in this issue for more information on the Vapouround Bus.)

The next year or two will also see many new projects in the pipeline including a chain of Vapouround vape lounges throughout major cities in the UK.

the AR symbols on them and you will understand why we call it the Movie-zine. In addition we have forged strong media partnerships with Miss Vapor USA and the World Series of Cloud Chasing, both of which can be read about in our app

The TPD has had a great impact on all of our lives since it came into force and is generally seen as unduly restrictive but it also brings its own opportunities too.

We noticed that it imposes quite drastic limitations on advertising. As a direct result of this we have had to change from being a magazine aimed at both

In addition we will also be releasing the Vapouround juice line within the next month or so and we are incredibly excited about all these developments. We have come a long way in a relatively short time and we love being part of this community, a community which has welcomed us with open arms and one where we plan to be around for a long time to come.

HOW

I HAVE SEEN

THE VAPING INDUSTRY STRENGTHEN AND GROW IN JUST ONE YEAR

BY PAUL CAPLIN

I think it is fair to say that we have seen a lot of change in the vaping industry in the past 12 months.

Most of that change, I am pleased to say, has been for the good but there have also been some very disappointing changes in terms of regulation here in Europe and the USA looks set to get even harsher regulation unless common sense can prevail.

But first let’s concentrate on the positive changes that have occurred. For me the most obvious change is how much the industry has grown, just take the Vaper Expo UK show at the NEC as one good example.

When it launched in 2015 it was held over 40,000 square feet, had around 80 exhibitors, attracted 7,000 visitors and was held over two days.

Within a year it had expanded to 110,000 square feet, attracted more than 230 exhibitors and pulled in 15,000 visitors over three days. In fact the show was such a success that another show “Vaper Expo - The Return” will take place in October.

I see similar things with shows I go to around the world. Well established events are getting bigger while new ones are cropping up all the time

to reflect the huge growth that this industry is going though.

Vaping might have started off as a small niche industry after the invention of the first e-cigarette in 2003 but it has now grown into a massive, global industry where market research analysts expect the worldwide vape products market to reach US $32 billion by 2021 and US $50 billion by 2025.

THIS IS AN INDUSTRY WHICH REWARDS ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

This is massive because it shows a thriving, growing market for a product which can undoubtedly help save lives by encouraging smokers to switch to a considerably safer method of delivering nicotine.

Not only that but it means the industry is a huge global employer providing jobs in manufacturing, retail and scientific testing on a truly international scale. The opportunities for further jobs in

the industry in the years ahead are potentially enormous with the power to boost economies around the globe which is clearly a good thing to come from vaping.

This is an industry which rewards entrepreneurial spirit - the pages of our magazine regularly feature thriving businesses which were launched on a shoestring by one or two people selling products to family and friends on a tiny scale to begin with.

From visiting shows and vaping events all over the world we are constantly seeing this worldwide growth in an industry which is big, diverse and global with everyone sharing the same passion and love for vaping.

I am always amazed at the diversity in the industry which is reflected by the exciting and innovative new products, juices and accessories which are constantly being created, updated and improved upon.

A growing and thriving industry like this means that people with the desire to succeed and the vision to constantly help this industry grow and improve can do very well for themselves while providing jobs for others in the process.

I am sure the levels of innovation we

have seen in the past will continue as the demand for a safer alternative to smoking increases and the passion, dedication and creativity of the people this industry attracts will drive that innovation forward.

Juice flavours are a major area where we have seen huge levels of innovation and market-driven expansion.

I remember that a year ago in the UK there were nowhere near the same range of flavours as were available in America.

We had lots of different tobacco flavours but as far as the variety that was on offer in the US at the time then we were way behind the curve.

Now that has all changed and we are rapidly catching up with the US in terms of the range of different juices on offer and in terms of international juice manufacturers and distributors competing to get a share of the lucrative UK market.

Vaping as a hobby (and indeed as sport) has also seen a huge increase in just a year and this is also great for the industry as a whole.

A whole market-within-a-market has grown around the cloud chasing and sub-Ohm vapers and there are now cloud chasing and cloud trick contests being held around the world with substantial cash prizes on offer for winners.

Even a quick look on YouTube will show you how rapidly this section of the industry has grown and the interest in competitive vaping can only increase over time. There are more and more established teams around now, some with lucrative sponsorship deals, and training videos for up-and-coming cloud chasers or trick vapers are getting lots of views online.

Make no mistake vaping is a huge industry and as companies see the untapped potential out there they are spending more on marketing and promotion than ever before. Some of the stands we see in exhibitions are works of art in themselves and we are in a situation where different companies try to outdo each other in having the most eye-catching expo stands that they can.

The result of all this is that the public are better informed about vaping and are able to make more informed choices when it comes to vaping - especially when it comes to trying to quit smoking.

It has helped enormously that respected bodies such as Public Health England and the Royal College of Physicians have both produced major reports which highlight the harm caused by smoking and the numbers of lives which could be saved by switching to vaping instead.

A year ago people were generally confused by vaping and it was common to hear people say that they thought

it just as bad as smoking. We still have a long way to go in terms of educating the general public, and in particular the smoking population, about e-cigarettes and vaping.

Finally a couple of thoughts on regulation. Regulation is needed in order to keep standards high and to protect and reassure the public who want to switch from smoking to vaping (or who want to take part in competitive vaping for that matter.)

But regulation must be proportionate and fair. If it prevents people from giving up smoking (which is one of the main criticisms of the TPD) then it is not fit for purpose and needs to be looked at again.

Heavy handed regulation could kill smokers who were prevented from switching to vaping by over-zealous rules regarding product testing, advertising and product sales.

That must not be allowed to happen.

E-liquids and vaping devices are not tobacco products and the sooner those who regulate the industry realise that the better. It is then that we may actually get some sensible regulations which are for for purpose, sensible and proportionate.

Overall I am excited about the future of this industry and I can’t wait to see what the next 12 months bring both for Vapouround and for the the wider global vaping community as a whole.

Sociological Reflections on FDA Regulations:

Through the Eyes of a Colorado Sociologist

Words & Photos by Tony Ottomanelli II

s a Sociologist, when reflecting on the FDA vaping regulations, one word comes to mind; that is, any word tantamount to prohibition. Actually, I should not even refer to this overreach of authority as “vaping regulations” since they never actually mention the word “vaping” and only use the term “e-cigarette” - which makes it even more obvious this is a scheme to persuade others to believe vaporizing to be more relatable to actual cigarettes.

Taking this into consideration, there are a series of other one word responses when I reflect on how these regulations make me feel NOT just as a Sociologist, but as a Vaper, one being Oppression. More accurately, however, would be the word: Conspiracy. Therefore, the actions taken by the FDA are merely an Oppressive Conspiratorial Prohibition. The ability to see this situation as a social scientist is just the same as any ordinary citizen utilizing a Sociological Imagination. The Sociological Imagination is a mindset that could be mastered by many others, no matter if you’re a Sociologist or not. Anyone who put forth the appropriate effort could very easily develop this mindset; seeing the world in the same way as many of the greatest intellectually disciplined sociological minds ever studied.

Being a social scientist surely does require a certain amount of natural talent, mental capacity, acquired skills, and a disciplined work ethic, and vast knowledge base. However, if any citizen opened their mind to accept new ideas, they could drastically make a positive difference among society by using their minds as sociological tools.

To reiterate from previous articles I’ve written, the concept of the Sociological Imagination was theorized by C. Wright Mills, in which he defined this particular mind-set as an awareness of the relationship between an individual and the wider society. It is based on the ability to view our own society as an outsider might, rather than from the perspective of our limited experiences and cultural biases (Sociology in Modules by Richard T. Schaefer 9:2011). A professor of sociology at my Alma Mater of DePaul University (Chicago) writes in his book, Sociology in Modules, “The Sociological Imagination is an empowering tool. It allows us to look beyond a limited understanding of human behavior to see the world and its people in a new way and through a

broader lens than we might otherwise use” (Schaefer 5:2011).

In retrospect, if someone has the ability to utilize a Sociological Imagination, then they can ignite societal change. When we dissect the recently announced FDA regulations, there is much confusion, fear, disappointment, and I can personally report, an observation on a human behavior characteristic I’ve noticed, which can be described as fairly despondent. That is, since the announcement, countless Vaping business owners and Vapers are speechless, numb, emotionless, dumbfounded, angry and overall they seem as if they’re feeling defeated. Notably, all Vapers agree there needs to be some form of Regulation within the Vaping Industry, especially for

“Let’s face it, we can go to the FDA with suits and ties on, accompanied by a professional team of lawyers, and thousands of Vapers with testimonials of being Former Smokers now saved from the art of vape. Yet, the long and the short of it, is that the FDA still will only view us as people who are telling the truth just as much as traditional tobacco cigarette companies were publicly telling the government lies since the 1940s.”

properly manufactured eLiquids as well as the appropriate designing of product labels. Every single business owner and everyday Vaper whom I’ve spoken with are unquestionably adamant about all child safety provisions related to any product. However, the FDA is taking things much too far. It is nightmarish for many reasons: for one, these regulations will ruin millions of lives; and two, all the regulations are so unbelievable, they seem like they’re not real. The FDA finally announced their highly anticipated interpretation of how the Vaping Industry should be regulated on Cinco de Mayo (May 5th, 2016). However, with all the efforts of the biggest advocacy groups like, CASAA, SFATA, The American Vaping Association, AEMSA, NotBlowingSmoke, Vaper Technology Association, and even some smaller groups, like advocates from the The Vaping Legion, the VapersArmy, and many other pro-Vaping organizations in favor of consumer rights, it still made no difference, as it was certainly easy to detect just how much the FDA would be unwilling to compromise.

Let’s face it, we can go to the FDA with suits and ties on, accompanied by a professional team of lawyers, and thousands of Vapers with testimonials of being Former Smokers now saved from the art of vape. Yet, the long and the

short of it, is that the FDA still will only view us as people who are telling the truth just as much as traditional tobacco cigarette companies were publicly telling the government lies since the 1940s. They probably see us as a group of weaker people who must inhale nicotine just to get through the day, when their own personal vices are most likely far more perverse & socially inappropriate. But that’s just my opinion. Regardless, from their regulatory overreach, the FDA estimates that 99.9% of vapor products and small vape-related businesses will drop off the market within the next two years nationwide. That is their honest estimate. Not only is this an overreach of regulating power by the FDA, it is blatantly operating with an alternative motive. These regulations seem far too illogical.

Since I am currently a resident of Colorado, I have trouble grasping the concepts being installed by the FDA. They’re illogical to me for many reasons, especially because as a CO resident, I can simply go down the street and legally purchase a highly concentrated 80%+ THC product, but I won’t be able to visit a Vape shop to purchase some flavorful eLiquids containing 0.3% nicotine? Huh? Is that practical?¬

Don’t get me wrong, I love Colorado and I am an avid supporter of the recreational marijuana legislation and I think marijuana should be recreationally legalized nationwide. Yet, as a current participant in consuming THC concentrates, I can tell you that some of those products will get you so high, you’ll be cross-eyed or passed-out! Not that I have an issue with that effect, but what I do have an issue with is that

I’ll be allowed to use several devices approved for vaporizing marijuana products, dry herb or concentrate, yet all the nicotine based Vaping devices and juices will be unlawful? All I can say is, WTF? How is that Logical? How is that lawful? I currently get text message alerts about deals and discounts from 4 separate marijuana dispensaries, specifically highlighting their inexpensive concentrates. God forbid if the Vaping Industry ever could reach you via satellite & cell phone tower. Seriously WTF? Why WTF? That’s a simple answer, it has become categorized as a “WTF” situation basically because, well, quite frankly, it makes no sense whatsoever. The only way to better understand these particular issues is by tapping into the capability we all haveto access our Sociological Imaginations and continuing to research particular sources of accurate information.

The 420 Intel website reports, “Four states have approved the use of recreational marijuana since 2012. The most shining example of the four has to be Colorado, which has generated more than $1 billion in legal marijuana sales (medical and recreational combined) between March. 1, 2015 and Feb. 29, 2016, and produced $135 million in tax and licensing revenue in 2015 that can be used by schools, law enforcement, and drug abuse programs.” Now, given those stats, doesn’t that seem logical? Yeah, it sure does. Why can’t we regulate Vaping in a way where the tax revenue goes towards harm reduction programs, addiction education programs, and charitable foundations?

Basically, the Centennial State, one State alone - Colorado, whose statewide

-VapeMentors

Words & Photos by Tony Ottomanelli II

Recently, I was lucky enough to get in contact with a Vaping Industry Leader - allow me to rephrase, a Leader in Vape Industry Leadership, whose name is none other than, Norm Bour. I was even more fortunate to have about an hour long discussion with him. Mr. Norm Bour is the Founder of VapeMentors, the first and largest business consultancy focused on the vape space. VapeMentors offers online educational programs, services and resources for everyone and anyone who is interested in learning about mastering the vape space.

is by far, the most involved individual in regards to working on anything vape-related. He is a business owner, he writes books, develops programs, hosts radio shows, offers educational platforms, writes for Vaping Magazines, creates better business strategies, grows smaller businesses’ overall worth, helps startup ventures get off the ground and then schedules in some time to talk to me about his thoughts about pretty

get involved in the vaping industry just because he quit smoking and became a vaper, which seems to be the trend or prerequisite. Mr. Bour has a very non-traditional type of backstory for how he made his way into this industry. Norm moved to Newport Beach, CA and began writing for the local newspaper, the Newport Beach Independent. Norm claims his niche is business and entrepreneurship and he always had an understanding of how things worked behind the scenes for many successful businesses.

much everything vape related. I wish I knew where Norm found the time? Unfortunately, that was not one of my interview questions, why didn’t I think of it before hand? You don’t have to answer that question.

One of the most important things to remember about Norm is that he did not

I asked Norm how he became involved in the vaping industry and he directly provided an easy-to-visualize story in which he went for a stroll down by the beach on the 4th of July in 2013, where there is quite an immense amount of people who gather for holiday festivities in Newport Beach. As he strolled the storefronts along the beach, he came across, “out of the blue” in Norm’s words, a Vape Shop and he thought to himself “What the hell is a Vape Shop?” Naturally, Norm walked in the shop to learn more of this new thing he’s never seen or heard of.

What Norm told me he realized that was most of what he was asking, about the shop and how it functioned

well as how the technology operated, were not questions that were receiving sufficient answers. So, with his curiosity left with a better sense of what exactly a Vape Shop was, he was still hungry for information. Due to his many years of experience with entrepreneurship in business, he began seeking answers and finding better, more valid responses to the questions he had. It was only 19 days after his initial stroll inside the Vape Shop that he ended up launching his business. Thus, Norm’s own thirst for knowledge, hungry curiosity, as well as his own past experiences throughout his career was what motivated him into becoming an important piece to the puzzle of vaping. From this, the U.S. population was beginning to further explore the puzzle of vaping and discovered how to begin building a recognizable image by utilizing pieces to that puzzle; Norm’s VapeMentors was and will continue to be a highly significant piece to that puzzle. Before becoming a valuable piece to the puzzle of the Vape Industry, Norm’s career consisted of 30 years of experience in Real Estate, Financial Services as well as hosting a Radio Show. However, given this irreplaceable work history, due to the unyielding amount of greed and irresponsible

business agreements which in turn, led to the financial crisis of 2008, Norm Bour was left out-of-work, forcing Norm to spend several years figuring out what to do. Until he joined another company where they realized after 2008, many, many businesses were struggling to survive and had little understanding on how to remain afloat drifting along

exactly the same, it’s just 20% that tends to make all the difference in the world. Regardless, while this was a great learning opportunity for Norm, that business partnership came to an end in 2013 along with his long-time marriage and home. Norm says he “disengaged with what he calls his former life” and started to try new things, he was involved with a lot of very different business ventures that “never seemed to monetize very well” he said.

the damaged economic climate. So, eventually what Norm and this company did was partner cities within the world’s 5th largest economy, California. They created a program, which they named: “Helping 100 businesses in 100 Days” with the partnership of 8 cities throughout Southern California. Norm soon began realizing how 80% of all businesses are

Altogether, Norm was ultimately searching for something that brought him passion. He knew he was a huge advocate for mentorship and entrepreneurship so he found a way to combine the two. He wrote a book on baby boomers mentoring millennials in business and millennials mentoring baby boomers in business, so a model guide consisting of reciprocity where two groups had much to offer as well as more to gain. Baby boomers have certain qualities such as experience, patience and the advantage of having established business contacts while millennials had a lot of passion, ambition and social skills. Yet, Norm wanted to be able to allow both groups to mentor each other on what each group was lacking in hopes of allowing them to succeed to the fullest in their business ventures.

80% of all businesses are exactly the same, it’s just 20% that tends to make all the difference in the world.

discover his passion, the Vaping Business. It all began when he was strolling the storefronts of Newport Beach and allowed his destiny to float him through the doors of the Vape Shop he first walked though. When I asked Norm what the biggest challenge was for his business, VapeMentors, his answer was exactly what all of us vaping advocates continually preach and that is, of course, getting people to understand the importance of education.

Norm travels to Vape Expos and Conventions quite regularly all over the country and what he notices is that there are a number of educational programs set up for the business owners to learn more about. These programs are there to teach them and empower them, yet at these events, unfortunately, most of the time people seem to turn a shoulder to the educational programs and focus on partying or having too much fun. Norm is absolutely correct in the sense that he says there are beneficial tools for these businesses to learn more about directly in front of them and they seem to be far too focused on the sensationalized aspects of the vape world: women dressed in provocative outfits, vaping contests, etc.

After learning of the biggest obstacles for VapeMentors, I then asked Norm what is his business’s primary goals thus far? Norm replied swiftly, “I want to help, I want to mentor businesses. I support all businesses in the industry, I will be here for all of them if they’re willing to accept business mentoring.” However, throughout our discussion, we often went back and forth several times at separate moments on how the FDA regulations will affect small business within the Vaping Industry.

What Norm predicts is that most of these smaller businesses will not survive and while that may be discouraging, it also reveals much about the industry we

industry is sadly being run by amateurs when it comes to understanding the business and how to operate responsibly behind the scenes. Then Norm dropped the very worst visualization of reality in the future throughout our entire discourse. This is when he says “We will see the closure of about 70-90% of all vape shops and the demise of most eliquid brands.”

All in all, I was certainly discouraged, especially since I have built so many

are seriously going to be a such a damaging reality sometime soon, there is still a silver lining whenever one has a dialogue with Norm Bour. For example, at VapeMentors, Norm is developing programs to help prepare vape shops deal with these unfortunate new restrictions coming to a state near you; well, essentially the state in which you reside as well. Regardless, Norm has developed a program called “Your E-Liquid” for vape shops who have their own juice-line in addition to a brick n’ mortar shop. Basically, Norm will work with you to develop your own house juice in 8 weeks with virtually no money outof-pocket. Norm will put your business together with a high-quality contract manufacturer, allow your own business to decide on the flavors you’d like to include. Then, VapeMentors works with you to develop flavor profiles, branding, packaging, logo creation, and overall messaging.

genuine friendships with the working staffs at specific Vape Shops around the Denver area and it seems obvious, at this juncture, all of them seem to be holding their breath for the time being; just waiting, likely praying that their shop won’t be in the first round of cuts. Clearly, these regulations will not be the best thing for shops and eliquids, yet also the lifestyles of countless ordinary vapers will be greatly affected.

On the other hand, as depressing as it was to learn these FDA restrictions

Sound too good to be true? Well, the things that Norm does for the business factor of the vaping industry are so amazing and innovative that it will be difficult to understand. Especially since so many people in the industry are all about generating high profits rather than quality results and significant relationships. At one point towards the end of our interview, Norm said to me “I’m not a technician, I’m a business strategist.” When I asked why there are not more businesses like VapeMentors that will provide consulting for the growth of small businesses in the vaping business, Norm explained that when people enter the vaping industry in a business capacity, it is always either opening a shop or establishing a juiceline. Obviously, in my own opinion, I think this is absolutely true and that this is exactly why the vaping industry is far too saturated. When a bubble reaches its growth limit, what happens to that bubble? It always bursts.

Naturally, this causes me to reflect on the vaping industry sociologically and

FDA restrictions are seriously going to be WWsuch a damaging reality

how many entrepreneurs did slightly take advantage of the lack of regulation. As much as I hate to suggest this idea, perhaps, we, those who are involved in anything vape-related maybe caused this unnecessarily harsh regulatory process to smash down on the industry’s bubble with a hammer. To me, I thought that it was great how ambitious the vaping industry had become, with all the innovation and countless products to choose from, there is something new to discover each week; each day! But then again, sometimes your greatest strength is also your greatest weakness. Did we cause this ourselves? Everyone knows we’re all simply consumers consuming in a consumer-driven economy, so I think our ambition transformed to a tad bit of greed and we took it too far. Yet, I’m still a vaping advocate and often believe we never make mistakes, we only make history!

Do you own a Vape Shop? Do you have your own juice line? Does it seem as if you are growing increasingly concerned about the state of your business? Overall, are you worried about your livelihood being taken away from you? Then there is no one out there better to consult on these matters than Norm Bour of VapeMentors. He can help you keep your business afloat and he can

even grow your business. It’s not all 100% free, of course everything comes with a cost, but it may be the very best decision for an investment that you ever made. Not to mention, Norm told me he embraces reinvention and adaptation, he stressed that he was a true believer in those things.

In essence, Norm does not try to look at these looming restrictions on vaping as a game-over situation. I asked him if he was optimistic about the future of the industry. Norm quickly replied “I’m very optimistic about the future of this industry. Are things going to change? Sure, but will The industry be eliminated? “Absolutely not, it may very well actually improve. For example, it could be much more professional in the sense that there will be legitimate businesses and not just experiments in business.” Overall, he merely tries to stay positive, preach

education, mentor business principles, and make these changes work for business owners, allowing them to grow and become better business-minded adults. So, without a doubt, contact Vape Mentors if you need better results!

Do you own a Vape Shop? Do you have your own juice-line? Does it seem as if you are growing increasingly concerned about the state of your business?

THE PYROLYSIS DEBEATE

Well its been a while now and I know you’ve all been missing me, my emails have been red hot as usual and I have been busy to the extent that I missed the last couple of issue deadlines. I must apologise, as time keeping is usually one of my strong points. The diary of late has been crammed full of late nights working on TPD Science and daylight meetings with MP’s, Scientists and Activists!

Whilst on the subject of time keeping, having been travelling extensively of late, I am surprised as to the amount of independent companies operating within the EU, who manufacture from outside its border, who have not even made a move towards TPD Compliance.

PHE have teamed up and provided yet another report to support the benefits of vaping over smoking, hopefully we will not need too many more of these reports before the message properly sinks into the right people who are making these decisions about the health of our population. What with all this new sugar tax I think vapers should get tax credits for not smoking !!!;)

I will touch on this sore subject later but first lets recap on what seems ages since I last wrote to you and fill you in on recent compliance and Brexit developments.

So it has been proven that Thermal Desorption is not quite the short fix test for emissions that most were hoping sufficient for notification. Having been noted duly for being cost effective, the results reported are not representative of the vapour phase collected. This is of concern, especially regarding the quantifiable carcinogenic gasses identified by the commission and supported by the MHRA.

Purity of Carriers has also been in the emissions spotlight of late and there has been a shift to test if the impurities contain EG & DG. Now, EG & DG are not as they appear, high street designer brands, they are Ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol. Some sub ohm juice ranges will require their VG to be tested for these impurities as this presents a cost saving as opposed to test every profile in the range.

Ethylene glycol has a low vapor pressure; it does not evaporate readily at normal temperatures and therefore high concentrations in air or intoxication are unlikely to occur following inhalational exposures. There may be a slight risk of poisoning where mists or fogs are generated in an industrial setting and scale, although this rarely leads to poisoning as ethylene glycol causes irritation and coughing when breathed in, alerting victims to its presence. Ethylene glycol is not well absorbed through skin meaning poisoning following dermal exposure is also uncommon. Ethylene glycol is moderately toxic, with children having been particularly at risk because of its sweet taste.

Diethylene glycol (DEG) is a clear, colorless, odorless liquid with a sweet taste, and is an excellent solvent for waterinsoluble chemicals and drugs. DEG is used as a component of multiple different products including antifreeze preparations, cosmetics, lubricants, brake fluids, wallpaper strippers, heating/ cooling fuel and as a plasticizer and that is why it is important for manufacturers NOT to put this in at the liquid stage of formulating a flavour profile.

So…besides working with the lab on the science of testing liquids and various hardware regarding their scientific justifications to the MHRA I have been also been with politicians talking shop on the TPD regulations. I have also been lucky enough to visit a few different shows as detailed below… California California the sunshine state! two weeks in California sounds nice eh, but with three QMS installs two ISO Validations and a lot of waffle (not blue), time went very quickly. Tobacco Free Nicotine (TFN) was top of the list when I landed, I have taken another Board Position to help achieve the Tobacco Free Generation all our governments keep wittering on about, well its mainly the do gooders and their big ideas. It may well be achieved in some parts of the world but smoking will never be extinguished in the ways they would of hoped.

Look out for TFN products; they are coming to Europe and going to pave the way, especially in terms of enhanced flavour profile seeing as this synthetic nicotine is odourless and colourless due to no tobacco impurities.

ARC distribution was next on the Californian schedule and a very interesting few days with Ryan, William and Travis. Watch out for these chaps at the shows and on the shelf. Their entire range is at the lab for Emissions tests and it is nice to see another American manufacturer take the bull by the TPD horns and ride on into the sunset.

Charlie’s chalk dust was next on the agenda, one of the most Iconic American brands in Europe going from strength to strength. Again, another company with samples in the lab for emissions and toxicological research so expect to see Charlie’s on the shelf past May next year.

A few, new to us, Californian manufactures were keen to talk

Stephen Buss is a Scientist and was schooled by some of the biggest Blue Chip companies in the World. He has helped prime some of the largest and fastest growing independent sector companies on TPD Regulation, Product Testing and Science. He is starting to look very old now and is nearing retirement so take good opportunity of his availability before it is too late.

His Science and Regulation Q&A featured in each issue has been a regular hot favourite for our readers and in this edition we learn more about what he has been up to and the companies he works with.

TPD and having had more time here with different companies my attitude towards American Manufacturing standards have changed for the better. All those mentioned above have their finger on the pulse, the management systems and ISO 9001’s were more than adequate to justify the process required to ensure quality of ingredients and final product.

I look forward in returning to California after the Moscow Vape show and I may look to work out there part time as the sunshine and people’s attitude is just. ……Nice.

New York

New york was next via internal flight and Bad Drip was first port of call, and there is nothing Bad about that company with Full Emissions completed, the Toxicity work is underway and Bad Drip could be one of the first US companies to notify, I will keep you posted.

I had a few days to get my head around the fall out from being away from the UK for a month, with a few more local meetings and then it was a much needed weeks holiday with the wife and youngest daughter in a Welsh log cabin before getting stuck back to TPD business.

Now then…. with the UK Brexit on the tip of everyone’s tongue whilst away, I have had as per usual a battery of questions about the what’s, whiff’s and butt’s ;) so below is a small section of the questions I received on this subject.

Sometimes, a week can be a long time in politics. Since it was confirmed that Britain would be leaving the EU David Cameron has resigned and been replaced followed by most of the shadow cabinet. Nicola Sturgeon has raised the possibility of a second Scottish Independence referendum, and Sinn Fein has called for a vote on Irish union, I’m just glad what with all this political mayhem that I am a Jedi.

In the UK’s journey to leave the EU, a voyage that could take two years or more, Instability abounds, both for the UK and any European countries that choose to follow our lead, or remain within an already fractured and exposed commission. The question everyone within the Vape Industry is asking is how does this affect our compliance and our responsibility to the TPD?

Q Now that the UK has voted to leave the EU does this mean I won’t need to do my TPD compliance?

Numerous people and companies have asked us this so far and the answer is a quite straightforward, NO, nothing changes with regard to the TPD.

This is already law, and will be fully enforced in November. It will take a minimum of 2 years for full UK withdrawal, at which point the compliance regulations will still apply to anyone wanting to sell through to the rest of the EU, and within the UK we will have regulations of our own which are likely to be even more stringent than the existing EU TPD requirements.

There was debate in the House of Commons in July that discussed TPD and the motion to address it was rejected, and quite rightly so.

Quite rightly so I heard you think? YES

Article 20 is the target not the whole TPD ;) The last thing the politicians would want is for cigarettes to come back into fashion, especially after their last 15 years effort via the EU Directives to achieve this.

The UK has a perfect opportunity to regulate Vaping separate from that of smoking and I will seriously have the hump if we do not achieve this.

Will I still be able to sell my TPD compliant products to the UK after or during this Brexit time?

If your products are genuinely TPD compliant, and notifications have been approved in some way shape or form by the MHRA, it is likely that the UK will implement a compatible system, which will allow you to fully migrate your compliance.

Britain is one of the most highly regulated countries in the world with regard to consumer health and health and safety, so whilst we should, in time, be able to rid ourselves of the more ridiculous and ill-fitting aspects of the TPD, it is likely the basic scientific framework will be the same and your TPD data will be fully transferable to any new system the UK decides to migrate to.

The main advantage with a UK Brexit is that when we do revisit article 20, we can pass motions to scrap the likes of parts of the advertising ban, the 2ml tank and 10ml bottle limits, the nicotine content limit (maybe) ... I say maybe as the Scots voted to remain, and although I doubt they will be accepted by the EU we had a better justification for bumping up the nicotine concentrations in liquids as nicotine has a proven ability to maintain, stabilise and improve upon the conditions associated with mental health conditions in humans.

This is a bit political but out of my realms but Scotland has the highest concentrations of the population undertaking mental health treatment and this is great for justifying to UK Government that higher nicotine level containing liquids would only serve more advantageous to those switching from conventional combustible tobacco to liquid vapour delivery of nicotine.

The TPD requirement is to have a “EU natural” importer, and I’ve chosen someone in the UK… Should I choose someone else, perhaps from Germany or Italy, to be my importer?

No, definitely not! We will all still be members of the EU for at least another two years, so as long as you have already registered your EU importer this is perfectly acceptable. Choose your EU importer situated within your biggest market - if this is the UK your importer would ideally be based there.

If you choose an importer somewhere else within the EU: for example let’s assume you went for your second biggest market and that was France... If France decides to follow the UK’s example and leave the EU, you will be in exactly the same position.

So my advice is to ensure your named importer is in the country

that represents your biggest market. The important thing is that you’ve named your importer, and that they are a current EU natural. Contact us as we can discuss the advantages of a temporary import licence that provides a short-term fix.

How do I know I’ve chosen the right compliance company to represent me?

Well that’s probably the best question I’ve been asked so far and the most common! As the regulations will not be enforced until November it’s an unpleasant and uncertain wait to find out whether your compliance company has been successful.

There are however a number of questions you should ask yourself with regard to your chosen representative that would immediately highlight a bad compliance company…

Firstly, has your chosen compliance company issued you with your submitter ID? This is an essential first step in the process of gaining compliance.

Secondly, is your chosen company testing for emissions on the vapour phase? Whilst this tends to be the most expensive part of the process, it is the testing methods that generate the results of these types of test, what really matters to the MHRA is the methodology, this is essential.

At Vape Compliance we only ever use a UK based laboratory that is both MHRA accredited and FDA approved, this adds the highest credibility to your scientific results and reporting. They have worked closely with the MHRA to devise a suitable methodology moving forward into the years ahead.

Is it too late to instruct a compliance company now? No, it’s not too late; although this is something I would now agree should be a top priority for anyone wanting to continue selling e-liquids or devices into the EU after November. If you are a small retailer and you only sell other companies’ products you still have a liability to ensure those companies products are compliant and that you are even registered as a retailer … in this instance a good compliance company can provide Shop Audit Programmes with prices starting at approximately £2000.

If, however, you are a large e-liquid or device manufacturer you really need to get a move on as the necessary emissions tests are time consuming and you really need to have the laboratory tests organised as quickly as possible, and the toxicological data in hand.

Manufacturers need to lean on their flavour suppliers as we are legally bound to provide ingredient information, this is being held back in the main due to intellectual property, is this an excuse or isn’t the NDA you signed good enough?

Are there any Compliance Companies to avoid? Well it would be totally inappropriate for me to name any names

and shame any games at this point, and trust me there is a few companies and associations bang at giving uneducated expensive misinformation, but again, there are a number of pointers to look out for… Is your Compliance Company also a manufacturer or retailer or have any affiliation with such companies? Do they supply ingredients into the industry and bind you to supply for notification and testing ownership? This is what is called a direct conflict of interest and will not sit well with the MHRA if the corners are cut off from the likes of the scientific testing and research presented.

Has your Compliance Company “guaranteed” you that your products will “pass the TPD”? If so, what a load of nonsense! Unless they have reformulated your products with a view to future supply, and that again as mentioned above is not ideal. There are no guarantees that your products are fit for

human consumption in the opinion of the MHRA until they have reviewed your data and any company who attempts to guarantee this should be utterly ashamed of themselves.

A good compliance company will highlight any red flags and steer you in the right re-formulation direction and not by offering a product they either manufacture or supply as an easy fix replacement. Do not mug yourselves off by these types of tactics, but if your e-liquid contains something implicitly harmful to humans in the vapour phase by liquid inclusion or generation, or if your chosen company’s analytical methodology is not adequate, you will simply fail to satisfy the MHRA.

We suspect they will reject approximately 80% of all submissions, so try to ensure your compliance is provided from a company with an excellent pedigree, and a fitting analytical emissions methodology to satisfy the TPD requirements. One final negative pointer to look out for in any company you are considering or have already instructed is the typical dodgy salesman approach.

We are often contacted by large e-liquid manufacturers who say they have found a company, who offers money back TPD guarantees, and I would say to you the customer, beware, beware, beware! Adequate emissions testing is expensive for e-liquids, and even more expensive for devices, so any company who tell you they can do it for free, or a few hundred pounds per product, is definitely NOT in a position to get you through the TPD.

TRUST

Well I hope that has cleared up some of your immediate TPD issues. Whether you are small retailer with only one Vape shop, or a large manufacturer with multiple e-liquids living outside the EU’s border, you all have a responsibility to the TPD, at a variety of different levels. Good business practice implemented straight away will ensure you will still be able sell your products to the EU market beyond November 20th.

Whether you decide to consult with Vape Compliance or any other Compliance company, do it sooner rather than later. We expect the MHRA will be looking to slim down the currently unregulated industry quite substantially in order to manage it a bit more effectively. Please take your responsibility to the TPD’s regulatory requirements very seriously, and do take some action before it is literally too late.

CHECK your existing Compliance Company against the standards we have recommended above, or if you have still not addressed your TPD responsibility do so now by contacting us ;)

Everyone has a TPD responsibility to bear... From individual shop audits for independent retailers, to large scale e-liquids Technical and Toxicological Dossiers for huge manufacturers, we offer a level of service for everyone, so if you would like to know how Vape Compliance can still help you, please contact us urgently for a specific quote: info@vapecompliance. com or check out our website www.vapecompliance.com for testimonials from the market leaders we work with.

The TPD could cost more than 100,000 lives a year around the EU, the House of Lords was told during a major debate on vaping.

Lord Callanan said it was regretful that the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 (the law which implements the TPD in the UK) was devised before evidence had accumulated that vaping was enabling many people to quit smoking.

He said the new law ran counter to advice from the Royal College of Physicians to promote vaping and was so severe that it could force vapers back to smoking.

The conservative peer said: “E-cigarettes are by far the most popular gateway out of tobacco for our nation’s 9 million smokers.

“Bizarrely, while the department is doing its best to restrict sales of one tobacco substitute, which costs taxpayers nothing, we are heavily subsidising nicotine-containing gum and patches, because they are given out on prescription.

“The difference, of course, is that these products are made by the big pharmaceutical companies, which appear to have the Department of Health as a sort of wholly owned subsidiary. “These companies stand to lose large amounts of money as sales of their nicotine substitutes have collapsed with the advent of e-cigarettes. The pharmaceutical industry uses its massive spending power to manipulate the harm reduction debate.”

Lord Callanan added: “We need serious action, not just a few warm words. We also need a clear plan to put into production medicinal supplies of the stronger e-liquid used by a quarter of a

million vapers.

“Now that we are going to leave the EU, we have the opportunity to make regulations that will be evidence-based and to create a climate in which smokers can quit for safer products.

“We need to remove the ridiculous restrictions on product choice and the advertising of e-cigarettes and other reduced-harm products, such as heatnot-burn products.”

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath said he as worried that far too many people were unaware of the distinction between vaping and smoking, particularly when it came to health concerns.

He said: “My main concern is that RSPH research has revealed that 90% of the public have the impression that e-cigarettes are at least as harmful as tobacco.

“That is not helped by the fact that some organisations have notices prohibiting not just smoking, but vaping.”

Lord Campbell-Savours told how he had to have a tumour removed from his lung in 1996, an illness he said resulted from his 25 year smoking habit.

He Said: “As a result of the surgery I lost half of my lung capacity, making it impossible for me now to walk upstairs

or walk any great distance.

“I only wish that these new inventions that now exist had been available to me. I tried everything possible to stop smoking, and it was utterly impossible. Indeed, I had my last cigarette the night before they took out the tumour. That is how addicted I was to tobacco.”

Lord Forsyth of Drumlean was highly critical of the new vaping laws saying that the regulations were ‘without logic.’

He said: “If someone wanted to sabotage a product, add to the costs of producing that product, limit the scope for competition with that product, and drive out of business small producers, it is hard to see how a more effective job could be done than in respect of the regulations that apply to electronic cigarettes.

“There seems to be no logic in the regulations. I find it extraordinary that a Government should want to ban advertising when the evidence that most people do not realise the benefits of vaping compared with smoking.

“These absurd regulations will undoubtedly cost lives. They are a classic example of how big business is able to use Brussels, together with lobbying organisations, to the disadvantage—and, in this case, life-threatening disadvantage—of the citizens of this country.”

However, health minister Lord Prior of Brampton defended the regulations, saying: “It is far better to vape than it is to smoke but it is far better to do neither.

“These regulations reduce the risk of harm to children and protect against the re-normalisation of tobacco use.”

“These regulations reduce the risk of harm to children and protect against the re-normalisation of tobacco use.”

“E-cigarettes are by far the most popular gateway out of tobacco for our nation’s 9 million smokers.”

STRAWBERRY QUEEN SEASON

Marketer and pro-vaping champion on taking Strawberry Queen E-liquids to the next level.

by Ashley Hansen

The blazing heat of August has arrived in Southern California and the Strawberry Queen’s fields are ripe for the picking. Fresh on the market since early 2016, our reach has grown in this short amount of time around Vape communities across the world.

The Strawberry Queen mission is to provide a premium e-liquid lineup that you know, love and trust with the marketing and integrity to back it up. So, who’s the spearhead behind all the commotion? That would be me, Ashley Hansen, Vice Operating President of Strawberry Queen E-Liquid, based in sunny Los Angeles, California.

My journey here did not happen overnight, so I would like to use this as an opportunity to reveal the experiences that have brought me to where I am today and why I am so passionate about what we, as a worldwide community, are doing.

Born and raised in the metropolis of suburban Detroit, I quickly became fascinated with the culture, art and

hustle of a city that is continuously reinventing itself. The most obvious truth is, in a city driven by determination passion reigns supreme to ignite the fuels of its fire. My time in Detroit taught me what true work ethic is... and all that it can accomplish.

As a University of Michigan alum with a diverse experience in a multitude of industries, the vape community has proved to be the most substantial.

When the position presented itself to me in the form of Lead Marketing Director in LA, I couldn’t resist. The client: a Big Tobacco company aiming to activate a nationwide campaign. I’ll never forget the day I packed up my Ford and drove the 2,000 miles in less than three days to start the opportunity of a lifetime.

My introduction to vaping. Now, back home in the groups that I associated with, the only electronic cigarettes I came across were Blu, and even then, they were few and far between.

My very first week in LA I found e-liquid and its accessories everywhere.

Within the second month of living in LA, I turned down the next phase of the BT activation. I have stared in the face of BT, and I was not impressed by what I saw. As a former smoker, I found myself more compelled to advocate the alternatives to BT, and show people that vaping is the future.

I ventured into different tobacco stores that carried a variety of vape products and brands. At first, I was intimidated by my lack of knowledge, a common symptom of venturing into this industry, but as I explored, my knowledge grew to understanding.

At a second glance, I am reminded of the many people I’ve spoken with along the way who have felt similarly. I realize now that there is NO SHAME in the quest for vape knowledge. The information is endless. When I finally spoke to vapers, they were more than happy to share their story. While momentum built, a promotional marketing opportunity presented itself to me in the vape industry and I took it wholeheartedly.

My relationship with the manufacturer, E-Liquid Empire, allowed me to build my confidence in vaping and the business behind it. It was on that first day, that I charged up my first clearomizer and topped off my tank with, you’ll never guess… A Strawberry E-Liquid. That was over a year ago, so where are we today?

The Strawberry Queen concept is simple. A premium, well thought out, delicious four flavor profile line with something for almost every vaping palate in mind. The line itself was hand crafted by our in house team of mixologists and meticulously flavor tested for almost a year.

And I mean, meticulously!

Southern California has earned a reputation for an extremely loyal community of e-liquid connoisseurs who expect the best of the market. The ability to use the Vapor palates of the region guaranteed the most authentic and flavorful liquid for our lineup.

We strive for quality from top to bottom. Hand-crafted with love in an ISO 7 Lab, every element in our bottles has been taken into consideration. Using a true nic was the only way to ensure the most pleasant vaping experience with the line and found to best compliment our 70/30 VG/PG blend.

When initially sitting down to brand the line, the goal was to convey our message of a genuine strawberry vape. It only seemed right to pack our flavors into petite green berry baskets topped with a soft red netting, exactly how you would find fresh picked strawberries at the farmers market! Content creation in marketing is essential when conveying the brand at large. “Vapeporn” photography is a job which I find true joy in creating with our in house graphic designer.

I am frequently asked about marketing

strategies through social media in the industry. Product placement, collaborations and user generated content play a vital role when sharing a brand. The importance of this is transitioning from just another line or product to the true embodiment of a lifestyle brand. As a female in this industry, the marketing strategy is designed around celebrating the feminine form rather than objectifying it. Our presentation aligns with the values of the company. The aim is to make vapers of all ages and backgrounds feel comfortable when approaching our line, whether that is in print, social media or in person. From the very beginning, our friends across the pond began reaching

Fostering these interactions through sheer organic development, we saw our brand awareness growing. Effective communication on social media is time consuming but it is one of the most rewarding outlets available to us in the States.

The Vape show circuit allows emerging and established companies the chance to get their products into the hands of the consumer. We’ve been on the road since January doing just that. From multiple shows in the States, Poland, Paris, China, Italy and two shows in the UK, the response we’ve had from the vaping community has been astonishing. Our reach allows us to connect personally with so many vapers across the world and we encourage them to get involved in the conversation. It is that exchange of thoughts and ideas that empower the community while providing

a backbone to the cause. I love when people reach out to us and share their unique experiences in vaping. With the upcoming TPD regulations we are preparing ourselves to provide nothing but the highest in industry standards. We have a responsibility to meet compliance to ensure only the safest products on the market. Also, frequently looking at the most recent copies of Vapouround to see the updates they have on the matter, while also seeking out specialists in the industry to keep us in the know and prepared for what is to come.

How many people do you know personally that have had their lives affected by losing someone to smoking-related cancers?

It is an epidemic. Vaping is the most successful tool in

moving away from the chains of BT for good.

Already it has helped a staggering amount of people in the UK alone, and continues to change lives. A united front has been formed and it is amazing how vapers support each other while changing the world. We are honored to be a part of this movement.

Don’t Force Workers To Vape In Smoking Zones Says Public Health England Report

There are few things that are bad about vaping but being lumped in with smokers because of a ‘one-size-fits-all’ smoking and vaping policy in the workplace is right up there.

Do employees not realise how wrong it is that having managed to quit smoking through vaping, the now smoke-free employee is forced to join tobacco smokers to enjoy a vape during work hours?

It is exactly the same when we have the same rules for smokers applied to vapers in public spaces, but now help may be at hand.

Public Health England has published a 15-page report called “Use of e-cigarettes in public places and workplaces - Advice to inform evidencebased policy making,” and it sets out ways to tackle this very issue.

The main thrust of the report is that vaping is not synonymous with smoking and therefore that policies for smoking

and vaping should not be exactly the same. It is particularly critical of the idea that vapers should be forced to share the same space as smokers when they want to vape.

The report describes smoking as “a uniquely harmful activity” which it says “remains the leading cause of preventable illness and premature death in England, with the damage spreading far beyond smokers, to their families and others around them, to their communities and to wider society.”

In contrast, the health body says of vaping: “E-cigarettes do not burn tobacco and do not create smoke.

While debate continues about their absolute level of safety, the consensus across England’s public health community is that e-cigarettes are significantly safer for users than smoked tobacco.

“There is also no evidence of harm to bystanders from exposure to e-cigarette

vapour and the risks to their health are likely to be extremely low.

“E-cigarettes have rapidly become the most popular stop smoking aid in England and a developing body of evidence shows that they can be effective. We need to foster an environment in which e-cigarettes can provide a route out of smoking for England’s eight million smokers, without providing a route into smoking for children or non-smokers.”

The report says that policies and practice on e-cigarette use in public places and workplaces are evolving and need to continue to do so in the light of the emerging evidence. It says that no onesize-fits-all answer exists to the issue of e-cigarette use in public places and workplaces.

Instead it sets out five key principles to guide decision makers when it comes to setting policies for vaping in the workspace and public spaces.

These are extracts from the five principles set out in the report:

1. Make clear the distinction between vaping and smoking.

Based on the international peer-reviewed evidence, e-cigarettes carry a fraction of the risk of cigarettes and have the potential to help drive down smoking rates and improve public health. To the extent that they cut the number of smoking role models, reduce public smoking and provide a role model for the rejection of smoking, e-cigarette s can help to denormalise smoking. Therefore policies should make clear the distinction between vaping and smoking. When communicating an organisation’s policy on e-cigarette use, make clear the distinction between vaping and smoking and to avoid confusion, do not use smoking terminology when referring to e-cigarettes.

2. Ensure policies are informed by the evidence on health risks to bystanders. International evidence indicates that the risk to the health of bystanders from exposure to e-cigarette vapour is extremely low, in contrast to the conclusive evidence of harm from exposure to secondhand smoke. The evidence of harm from secondhand exposure to vapour is not sufficient to justify the prohibition of e-cigarettes. Managers of public places and workplaces should ensure that this evidence informs their risk assessments. E-cigarette use is not covered by smokefree legislation and should not routinely be included in the requirements of an organisation’s smokefree policy. Where a decision is taken to allow vaping in an enclosed place, policies could consider some simple etiquette guidelines for vapers, such as minimising the production of visible vapour.

3. Identify and manage risks of uptake by children and young people.

E-cigarette use is not recommended for young people . However, because adult smokers use e-cigarettes to quit smoking and stay smokefree, the products can help reduce children’s and young people’s exposure to secondhand smoke and smoking role models.

In developing policies on e - cigarette use in child and youth settings it is appropriate to guard against potential youth uptake, while balancing this with the need to foster an environment where it is easier for adults not to smoke.

4. Support smokers to stop smoking and stay smokefree.

E - cigarettes are used almost exclusively by smokers and ex-smokers and are now the most popular stop smoking aid in England . To support smokers to stop smoking and stay smokefree, a more enabling approach may be appropriate in relation to vaping to make it an easier choice than smoking. In particular, vapers should not be required to use the same space as smokers, as this could undermine their ability to quit smoking and stay smokefree, particularly among those most heavily addicted. It is never acceptable to require vapers to share the same outdoor space with smokers. Where a designated outdoor smoking area has been provided in a public place or workplace, vapers should be allowed to vape elsewhere.

5. Support compliance with smokefree law and policies.

Compliance with smokefree requirements can be maintained and supported by emphasising a clear distinction between smoking and vaping. Managers should indicate accurately where vaping is permitted or prohibited, and communicate the policy clearly to everyone it affects. While some e-cigarettes physically resemble cigarettes, the distinctive odour and ash of lit tobacco makes it generally easy to distinguish between someone who is vaping and someone who is smoking.

DIARY OF A VAPER

with Paul Caplin Vapouround Editor

S

o it is a year on and I am still going strong. I can literally say that vaping has changed my life in more ways than I could have ever imagined.

So let’s start with the health aspects and a year later I feel more energised and full of life. I don’t get out of breath so easily and I don’t constantly have the horrible wheezing feeling I had when I was a smoker.

While smoking I also used to cough up all sorts of disgusting stuff and thankfully those days are long gone now.

Socially I don’t constantly stink of cigarettes and this means that my wife doesn’t turn her nose up any more when I walk through the door. In addition my kids don’t say: “Daddy you smell funny,” when they see me and that is clearly a good thing.

I can also spend time with my kids not worrying about the smell of smoke from my clothes aggravating them, although I was always careful not to smoke around them because of the dangers of passive smoking.

When out drinking, I don’t plan my night around when I can smoke. Every smoker knows that no matter how much you are enjoying the company of friends on a night out or how good the conversation is, when it is time for a cigarette then that comes first.

Now there seems to be a lot more vapefriendly establishments where I have been able to socialise inside as a group without dragging non-smokers into cold smelly smoking areas.

On this note I have met and made many fantastic new friends within the vaping

industry and I continue to make new friends all all the time.

Generally I have found that the numbers of people I see vaping has increased ten fold in the past year although I am not sure if that is because I am noticing vapers more now or whether it is the numbers dramatically going up - it is probably a mixture of both actually. Whatever the reason, it is great to see so many people vaping and making the switch from cigarettes because of the undoubted health benefits they get from switching.

Obviously having a vape business has done wonders for my life, my family and my future. Vaping has so many different aspects to it, from the beginners to the hardened professionals, the culture, sub-culture, competitions, shows, meets and expos.

Vaping has taken me around the world, made me money and improved my health, why would everyone not want to make that switch?

When I first quit smoking for vaping I was on 12mg of nicotine to begin with and that seemed to work well for me.

I was able to gradually reduce it over the course of the year and for the past four months I either vape with absolutely no nicotine at all or occasionally use 3mg. So not only have I managed to quit smoking but I have been able to totally give up the nicotine habit which is something I always wanted to do but never thought I would be able to achieve.

I now vape because I enjoy it although I consider myself to be quite a boring vaper on a daily basis these days with

coca cola being my every day vape but when I am out and about I like to experiment with a range of different flavours and try new mods, with my personalised rig mod being my absolute favourite.

As for flavours, my current flavours are mint choc chip ice cream, apple crack (an apple crumble from Diamond Vapor) and Beach Bum from Captain Obvious. Vaping can and does change lives.

It has transformed my life and the lives of many people I know personally.

This is why I care passionately that vaping regulation must reflect the fact that it is an amazing power for good by allowing people to quit smoking.

STORE FEATURE

VAPOUR GALLERY TAKES LONDON BY STORM

Vapour Gallery is close to becoming part of the luminous London landscape.

After opening a second store in the city, Vapouround can exclusively reveal that the trailblazing vaping brand is already planning more openings over the next two years.

Vapour Gallery is founded by dynamic duo Sam Mallach and Giuseppe Allegra, who originally met in the restaurant trade. Building on their solid restaurateur experience in the fine dining arena, the astute co-owners applied their business nous to successfully explore a market close to their hearts. Having been ex-smokers who now vape full time, both Sam and Giuseppe are on a mission to share their knowledge and help others in their journey to quit smoking.

The future is bright for Vapour Gallery, a store headquartered in the heart of the city. Phenomenal success of their vape stores with a difference ensures happy vapers always come back for more. By stepping away from the norm, the owners recognise that what they have with Vapour Gallery is unique. The intuitive pair value their customers highly and have placed them at the epicentre of their business model.

Sam said: “The heady combination of sublime customer service, a hip hangout spot and stocking premium e-liquid is what makes Vapour Gallery stand out from the crowd. Other vape stores across the country have been

reconfigured, whereas every Vapour Gallery branch has been designed as an original, standalone vape store. We’ve listened to customers’ calls for more Vapour Gallery stores and can confirm that we have exciting plans for the rollout of more cool outlets. Watch this space!”

It is heartening to see that the TPD has done little to quell the enthusiasm of Sam and Giuseppe. Sam commented: “It’s great to have health professionals on board. From Public Health England, to the Royal College of Physicians, it seems the tide is turning for attitudes towards vaping.”

Vapour Gallery’s newly launched

Canning Town store is already a big hit with the locals. The store boasts an expansive chill-out area where vapers can sip soft drinks whilst being able to shop at leisure, to pick up their favourite e-liquid.

In the interest of providing the best service, Sam and Giuseppe ensure staff undergo comprehensive training and attend open meetings every Friday. This level of transparency is key to the success of the business.

By recognising areas for development and cascading messages in an efficient manner, Vapour Gallery is a company that has streamlined processes for maximum impact.

Knowledgeable staff are always on hand to answer vaping queries for new and seasoned vapers alike. There is something for everyone at Vapour Gallery. The Canning Town branch holds a coil-building session every Tuesday, and the cloud meter on the wall is perfect if you’re in the mood for blowing ‘O’s like a pro. Giuseppe said: “We feel that the market in London is still growing. After our first successful store, we wanted to branch out in East London, which is a great, trendy place to be. By really focusing on the store, we are able to create a unique vibe in-store. Freehand graffiti

on the wall simply adds to the vaping experience, as it’s quickly become a place that is difficult to leave and a joy to just relax in.”

By launching an additional store in hip and trendy East London, Vapour Gallery have taken vaping to a whole new level. The store is ideally situated just three short Tube stops away from Canary Wharf. The owners’ considerate nature is also reflected in the closing time of 8pm throughout the week, which means Vapour Gallery will be able to serve London-ites stopping off after work for a relaxing vape and friendly chat. Vapour Galley hope to make everyone feel welcome at their stores. Their Stratford store is popular amongst new vapers and those looking into alternatives in a bid to stop smoking. Vapour Gallery goes the extra mile for their customers and upon request, will give free, no obligation consultations

into vaping hardware and e-liquids. The Canning Town branch is more suited to seasoned vapers. They can enjoy advanced sessions in coil-building and a more complex range of e-liquids, including bestsellers Tortoise Blood by Shijin Vapor, and After 8 and Jungle Juice from the VG in-house series. Vapour Gallery are keen to foster relationships with independent stores, and large to small businesses alike.

hen Vapouround asked me to write them a recurring column I thought… Well, if nothing else, at least the Vape Community will see that Vape Models do in fact have more going on up between their ear Then they asked me to make it an Opinion Column and I thought, well there goes people liking me in this industry. A Vape Model with an opinion, here we go guys, hang on tight! What qualifies me to have an opinion about anything beyond which body part I should be using to hold my mod you ask? To clear things up, I do not, nor have I ever participated in the whole stereotypical “Vape Model” type of modeling. I did not begin taking pictures using Instagram as my agency. I have been modeling for clothing companies, the tattoo industry, promotionally, etc for the last 5 years. Not only that but I have only ever used modeling as a direct channel for my actual goals in Marketing. I am currently the Director of PR for Buckshot Vapors Inc. and I handle all angles of Public Relations and Marketing for the company. I have worked as a professional Director level Marketing Manager for different companies and industries for the past 5 years. That said, keeping up with market trends is a huge part of whether or not I am successful in my position. That however, is not always an easy job in the “Vape Space.”

The Electronic Cigarette or Vape Industry changes as fast as you can change your chonies… maybe faster. For those of you who have been around for quite some time, you know trends have ranged and changed in just about every area of the constantly evolving market that we call Vaping. Remember when it was routine to see High End Mods all over Facebook with X1 in the comments for miles and how waiting lists for that product were actually created like that? Remember when 26650’s had their brief time in the

spotlight? How about when tube mods were more popular than box mods? Or before sub-ohm tanks were in existence and owning a kay-fun was a must… building the damn thing is a whole different right of passage story. So what’s my point? Well the whole premise of an opinion column is to share yours, so without further ado let’s talk about the way that E-Liquid has changed in the past few months and dare I say it… Yep, let’s talk about how regulations have changed the economics of the E-Liquid market in that time frame. If you were expecting a highly feminist fueled rant about how Models can do adult things too… this isn’t the article for you…. I wrote that two issues ago, keep up. E-Liquid has always had a range of levels to choose from for each level of the economy. There was “House Juice” usually made by your local

Vape Shop eliminating margins from reselling a product and in most cases (don’t get your panties in a pinch if your shop happens to have a magical ISO certification… there’s always exceptions) made in a less technical environment and using cheaper materials (again… just STOP if you happen to be one the handful of shops using fancy smancy bottles and flavors) than some of the larger companies which makes the price more appealing for those on a budget. Mid-range E-Liquid lines that may have used larger bottles at a lower price as their marketing push, the line is not as well known but still of decent quality or maybe they had one of the first one off flavors but they sold for a little less than some of the premium lines. Finally there were Premium E-Liquid lines… they came in glass bottles, they have labs, quality management systems,

certifications and they use the upper echelon in flavoring so they command a higher price… better product, better quality, more money… it’s pretty simple. This is literally the tiering for every other retail product on the market… cell phones, alcohol, makeup… everything goes in range from bottom to top shelf. For most of us, we were aware that both Federal Regulations (FDA Deeming Regulations) as well as those overseas were coming (TPD) for the industry. There was no way we were going to have this unregulated market forever… especially not with the amount of money the industry is bringing in. I am not sure however, that everyone saw the

impending crash of the E-Liquid Market coming due to regulations. What am I talking about? I am talking about stores not ordering per usual to keep money from going out with the regs landing, or even worse, saying they wouldn’t order if you were not going to “get through” the FDA Deeming Regs. No one…. As in, not one company at this point can tell you with confidence they have made it through the FDA Deeming Regs and their PMTA has been approved. That is because there is not one company at this point that has even filed one, much less had it reviewed. If anyone is saying they have been FDA Approved or certified they are, to put it plainly, full of it. Shops,

people have not stopped vaping… so to stop ordering does nothing but hurt the industry itself and if you are buying from companies who say they have this FDA “thing” in the bag baby, well then you are ordering from a company who is about to be out of business. As someone currently working on the contracts for my own company’s compliancy, I can tell you this… getting through the PMTA Filing will cost millions if you have more than a flavor or two and that doesn’t even guarantee that you will have your products approved.

So how has this crashed the E-Liquid Market? Price cuts, One Off Flavors (check into it… your Uncle’s Brother-inLaw is probably making one with your neighbor), and 60 mL’s have become the new ordering trends. First off, I am not sure how when faced with impending Million Dollar contracts just to file PMTA’s a lot of these E-Liquid Manufacturers went…. Hmm…. Let’s just lower our pricing…. That’s the answer for sure! NO- that is not the answer. Have the shops lowered their margins? NO. So how will dollars off the bottle (unheard of in ANY other industry… normally price changes for wholesale units go in pennys) help push your line to

“Things are going to continue to change as regulation deadlines approach and as they always have in our industry. We are an industry born of innovation. We should be focusing on how to innovate to keep our industry alive, not supporting the race for the bottom.”

customers? Your brand is still being sold at the highest price in the store if you are a Premium E-Liquid as it should… you have more overhead, you have more employees, you use better materials… you are funding lawsuits against the FDA that other people can’t, donating to Advocacy groups who support lobbying efforts and dancing between multimillion dollar contracts to begin your PMTA process so vapers hopefully have products to vape in 2 years and Vape Shops have products to sell then! If none of you are making the money to stay in business because you are dropping your pricing to compete with One-Off brands and Mid-Level E-Liquid lines who do not put out the same amount, you won’t be able to get through the regulations (whether or not ANYONE can make it through is a whole different rant…. This is purely based on the cost analysis to get your PMTA filed so please don’t email me with hate crime promises because you assume I don’t know the difficulties or realities of getting a product through the PMTA, I get it.) or pay for your monthly operating costs unless you do some serious trimming of fat from every aspect of your budget. So okay… you don’t lower your prices… you just release a few (or twenty) OneOff Brands. Isn’t it a damn shame when 50 other companies just spring up like mushrooms on your lawn overnight? Oh

and how about when your One-Off line is actually a better product than your original line? Way to cannabilize your own market buddy! Why would anyone buy 8 flavors that taste and sell worse than your one flavor that kills it on the shelves? Does anyone know how long One-Off flavors are popular? From talking to my own Distro’s and Shops, for about the time it takes you to spend the money you made on the initial orders that everyone placed. Yes, there are exceptions, I won’t mention names in particular because I am not going to sit and point fingers or give praise in either direction but there are some who did the One-Off right. Those are mainly the people who were responsible for starting the craze… the problem is, not everyone followed in those footsteps of having an original and highly effective marketing plan from their packaging to their media, and strategic launches…. Most One-Off’s are mixed quick, have a lot of that really delicious stuff that will soon be regulated out of the market and a marketing strategy that took as much time to come up with as to mix the one flavor. Throw it in a box and call it a day right? Shelf space in shops and online is now a revolving door of trademark infringement and gimmicks that don’t stick leaving less room for the lines that came up with their own branding and spent the time and money to make a product that customers

can come back to time and time again. Last but not least there’s the 60 mL…. what’s wrong with more juice? Nothing…. Until you lower the margins on that bottle of juice so that they are almost identical to your 30 mL margins. Like I said earlier, there is a place for bigger bottles at a cheaper price… the tiering system I talked about earlier. Let’s get some perspective… you normally get drink deals at a bar anytime on “well” drinks which is the lowest you can go for what the bar carries or you can get “happy hour” specials on mid-level spirits during certain times of the day. There’s not really a time when you are going to see top shelf alcohol go for less than top shelf prices. If you want premium, you pay for premium. It’s that simple. However, the Vape Industry has proven once again, they will not follow trends and Premium E-Liquid is now being sold in some cases for double the quantity for about the same price as a much smaller bottle. The race to fill pockets fast before regulation deadlines has begun people and no matter the logic behind not joining, it seems like plenty of brands can’t wait to discount themselves from the start, right into the irrelevant blowout bin to make some quick initial money. The lower pricing doesn’t just affect the manufacturer on this one… it affects the stores too. The whole appeal of a bigger bottle at a lesser price is more bang for your buck! Appropriate to offer as an option for customers, yes…. Appropriate to base your store and all new inventory on this model?… If you would like to close your doors sooner than later, by all means drop all your premiums and just slang those big bottles.

Moral of the story, in every industry, even regulated industries, there are bottom, mid and top level products. There will always be a place for and a taste for the best of the best and there will always be a product that is clearly made with the bargain shopper in mind. So why is the entire industry acting like we need to blur those lines? We don’t… and as a Vaper who works in the industry, I can only hope that we all figure this out and reset the balance of the economics in our own market to survive. Things are going to continue to change as regulation deadlines approach and as they always have in our industry. We are an industry born of innovation. We should be focusing on how to innovate to keep our industry alive, not supporting the race for the bottom. But hey, I’m just a Vape Model… who cares what I think.

A G A Z I N E V A P O U R O U N D VV on tour

VEGAS VPXHIBIT • VAPITALY • WORLD MIAMI VAPER EXPO • VAPER SLAM NEW YORK

VPX was held by the team who organise the ECC from May 20th to Sunday 22nd May 2016 at the Sands Expo centre, part of The Venetian Hotel and resort in Las Vegas. As ever the organisation of the show was great, with some of the biggest names in the industry in attendance. Some of note were Coastal Clouds, Strawberry Queen (with their brand new stand), Bad Drip (with their huge stand and bad drip van), Lost Art Liquid.

As ever the stands looked great having top brands such as these always make the show look and feel the part. As ever in Las Vegas, there are always serious

buyers who attend the shows. The footfall at this show was slightly less than we anticipated, but it was still pretty busy throughout the day. We got to meet and chat with the organisers of the show and as always, we are in debt to anyone who shows their hospitality, thanks for allowing us to take part in this show. We look forward to working with you on future shows.

Vapitaly 2016 came just six months after the first Vapitaly expo in November last year and what a difference those six months have made. Once again we were media partners with the show and it was a fantastic show to be part of.

Some said that the 5,000 visitors to the first show was partly due to its novelty factor but with twice the floorspace this time round and with more than 8,000 visitors through the doors, this was nothing to do with novelty at all.

Vapitaly has shown that the country has a thriving and growing vaping community and Vapitaly President Mosè Giacomello said he was “more than pleased” with the reaction to the show which was beyond his expectations.

He said: “I see an increase in interest about vaping and also a greater awareness of the positive features of vaping.

“We can only look with optimism to 2017 and thank all the participants from Italy and abroad, who have confirmed the opening and the international importance

of this fair."

For our part we took 500 copies of the magazine to the show and we gave them out to visitors to our stand. There was so much interest that no sooner had we filled the magazine display stands than they would be empty once again.

I would describe the show as the most organised event we have been to (and we have been to quite a few vaping events over the past year).

The organisers gave us a huge stand with sofas and the huge Vapouround Magazine logo on the wall was also a really nice touch.

This was also one of the busiest shows we had been to and on the consumer days it was so busy that at times it was difficult to walk through the aisles. Many of the companies exhibiting at the show went all out to impress and there were some really amazing stands and also amazing live music which really added to the atmosphere.

The main sponsors Puff Cigarettes was probably the most impressive stand I have ever seen with a huge stage and a

massive video wall at the back. This was literally impossible to miss and proved a huge draw for the crowds of visitors from start to finish.

This was a really enjoyable experience for us to be back in Verona and while it was freezing in November, we enjoyed beautiful weather this time around. Often we go to shows where there is chaos and a lack of organisation but this really has been the most well-organised show we have been to so massive congratulations to everyone concerned. There are already plans for a third show to be held in May next year and we can’t wait to see what that will bring.

“WE CAN ONLY LOOK WITH OPTIMISM TO 2017 AND THANK ALL THE PARTICIPANTS FROM ITALY AND ABROAD, WHO HAVE CONFIRMED THE OPENING AND THE INTERNATIONAL IMPORTANCE OF THIS FAIR.”

June 10-12th saw the return of the annual event – the World Vapor Expo in Miami. The event which is organised by Steve Gerstein, Mark Evans Sr and his son Mark Evans Jr has for the last few years been one of the highlights of the vaping calendar, with a lot of people thinking it only second to the ECC in California. We chose this for the soft launch of Vapouround USA, our latest publication. I would like to take this time to thank the organisers of the show for letting us launch at the show. You were a great help. Thank you so much, we at Vapouround look forward to working with you in the future. Having never been to this show, we were excited to attend. The hype surrounding it from last year certainly made us feel

this was the ideal location for the launch of the new magazine. We were not disappointed; Miami is truly one of the most beautiful locations I have had the chance to visit. I think it felt more special because we managed to take a large contingent of our crew along. We also welcomed a new member aboard the Vapouround Crew, our first American member Julie Henderson, who is heading up sales for the US magazine. Also as is the Vapouround way, we managed to catch up with some of our good friends at the show. Of course a few cheeky drinks were sipped after… just to be sociable. The show was highly organised and the venue was well chosen. The hall was kitted out with carpets, giving the impression of a high class affair. The first day got underway with a B2B session, and as is customary lots of free gifts were there to be handed out to entrants. As the weekend progressed, the atmosphere turned into more of a party vibe as the dancing robots turned up.

The crowd too, got really involved in the show giving the event a real buzz.

This show also allowed plenty

of space for the advocacy groups and allowed them to take the stage to deliver the all-important message of supporting vaping in these very difficult times as we come under threat from the powers in charge.

Al in all this was a very successful show and I would like to congratulate the organisers on all of their efforts.

This was the first vaper slam to take place in Syracuse and Kudos to Freeze and Mooch for their efforts in putting on this show. They did all the right things, got the vendors, got a great venue and got the word out there for people to come.

I have always been a big fan of the way these guys approach shows, I love the importance that they place on advocacy

and how they ensure that giveaways are about education of the threats to vaping and what the general public can do to support these efforts. If you’re not sure about what they do for advocacy, please see the last instalment of Vaporound Magazine where I wrote about Vaper Slam Charlotte.

Despite their best efforts the attendance of the show was not as good as a lot of the vendors had hoped for, this is disappointing as everything seemed like it was set for a great show. I can only presume that Syracuse’s vaping scene is not quite developed enough to have had the show at this time, or maybe the threats by the FDA are putting people off attending shows, well serious buyers anyway.

I truly hope that this doesn’t put vendors off using TVA conventions in the future, what these guys have achieved at previous events is astounding and they will continue to have support from Vapouround Magazine.

Vapouriz Fuse 650 Starter Kit by Peaches Atkinson

I ordered the Vapouriz Fuse 650 Starter Kit a few weeks ago, mainly for stealth vaping, on car journeys or in restaurants.I actually started off vaping with a similar styled device and it did succeed in getting me off cigarettes, but didn’t give me full satisfaction. Now, I tend to stick with sub-ohm vaping, primarily using an Asmodus Minikin and an RDA with custom built coils...but I thought I’d give the Vapouriz EVOD a go.

This vaporizer came in a tidy little tin box, containing :

· 1 x 650mah FUSE (EVOD)

Rechargeable Battery with 5v Protection Chip

· 1 x FUSE Dual Coil, Bottom Fed Clearomizer

· 1 x FUSE USB Charging Cable

· 1 x FUSE Instruction Manual

· 1 x FUSE Metal Case

My vaporizer is a ‘Rainbow’ shiny metallic colour, – a very nice touch! It comes in a multitude of colours, so will

be perfect for everybody.

I added 1.6ml of E-Juice in to the Clearomizer, switched the device on, and took a few inhales. At first it tasted kind of spicy much like a strong hit of nicotinedespite being 0%. I kept taking little puffs and then could taste the strawberry flavour of my eJuice. For such a small, simple machine, vapour production was unreal! The e-liquid was 70% PG so I wasn’t expecting clouds, but much better vapour than what I initially envisioned!

The whole setup is very ergonomically sound, comfortable grip and a nice mouth piece that is slightly tapered. It is small enough to put in your pocket and does not leak like many others. It is simple and foolproof, whilst also looking the part, it’s easy to carry around and the battery life is very good.

The only slight problem was the fact that the Clearomizer only has a capacity of 1.6ml, causing you to feel like you are constantly refilling it.

This, in my opinion, is the ideal beginner’s kit- It’s incredibly easy to put together, does not leak, easy to charge,

good vapour production, decent price and a nice choice of colours!

The starter kit costs about £15 online depending on the colour and/or seller.

I definitely recommend this item to people who are just starting their vaping journey, and although I am more on the experienced end of the vaping spectrum, I still appreciate the potential that this little device has.

For what it is, I will give it 4/5.

As you will be aware we are big fans of Vape AMP products with the V2 tube mod winning MOD of the year at the 2016 Vapouround awards. The first thing that strikes you about the Rig Pig, is quite honestly just how beautiful it is. The Rig Pig is the latest offering from Vaping American Made Products and boy does it deliver. The MOD itself is so tactile and has such a good weight that it screams premium quality. A series dual battery unregulated box mod, the rig mod is designed around the rough neck V2 atomiser, which has been around for a while now. The threading on the Rig Pig itself is only designed to fit the rough neck atomiser. This is certainly not a device for the novice – knowledge of MOD care is certainly needed, or you could be in for trouble. I have been running this MOD with a 0.4 Ohm coil as advised by Vaping American Made Products, and it kicks out plenty of vapour and creates a great flavour. A little side note of the rough neck atomiser, it is a three pronged atomiser which has a copper centre terminal. If you look at the surface area of the copper plate on the bottom of the atomiser, you can tell this is designed to take high currents. In terms of operation, and this is a little

bit of a con for me, the instructions that come with the rig mod are a little on the sparse side. For someone with less experience it could be confusing how to load the batteries into the device so as not to cause overheating in the cells. A little diagram would make it simple... just a little food for thought. In the interest of information, the negative terminal of the battery points towards the ‘fire’ button and then the positive terminal points towards the coil itself. The benefit of using batteries in series, is that it gives you more power as the voltage of the cells add together. The mod itself is pretty simple in design. It weighs about two pounds, the outer metal is made from brass, which looks great and the internal metal connectors are made from copper. The black material is Delrin, a resin with strong insulating properties. The insulator throughout the MOD makes it safe and ensures there are no nasty electric shocks.

Regarding aftercare, the mod itself is held together by two screws. These are again insulated so no current can flow through them; once removed the mod splits into three main components, the base, the body and the top, which has the firing mechanism.

From time to time, you will need to disassemble the components and polish the contacts inside to keep your mod working optimally.

The base has a brass case, which is insulated with Delrin for safe operation. Inside this you will find the first connector, which is a solid copper plate, which allows for a low resistance connection between the two batteries. The centre core is made from Delrin and engraved on both sides, adding to the design. The top of the MOD comprises of a second brass case, this time holding the firing mechanism. This is set flush to the case and at an angle to allow for a more ergonomic grip. The copper firing pin also needs to be removed and cleaned to maintain optimal performance.

Overall this is a fantastic piece of kit, especially its sturdiness. Looks and vapour production are both amazing too. It is not without its flaws, the lack of instructions being one, also pricing may be a slight concern for some vapers. I think is definitely value for money and will be in my collection for a long time to come! 4/5

By Stephen Tarpey

Verone is the new flavour from Parisian based vapour company Flavour Power. The base of the liquid is a 50:50 PG base. Due to its runny consistency it will work better in tanks and clearomisers rather than use for drippers, which need a higher VG content. The flavour profile of this is very French; French Brioche with a lovely twist of coconut, vanilla and zingy lime. I’m a fan of pâtisserie treats and, as such, I’ve been looking forward to this since I was told the e-liquid was on its way to me. Starting with the scent, it is a very sweet smelling vape. The citrus hits you afterwards and the coconut and vanilla kind of get a little lost due to the overpowering citrus notes.

Now to the taste – I vaped this on a Realueax RX 200, with an Aspire Cleito

tank and a 0.4 ohm coil. I really liked this vape, firstly the sweetness of the Brioche hits the taste-buds and is then taken over by the citrus flavour. I do have to say that the coconut and vanilla felt somewhat lost to me.

I expected to pick up coconut on the aftertaste, as I have on other coconut flavours, but it just wasn’t there. Please don’t misunderstand me, as a complete flavour Verone works, but I struggled to pick up on some of the subtler flavours independently – more than likely because the lime flavour dominates the taste-buds. Verdict 4/5

“The citrus hits you afterwards and the coconut and vanilla kind of get a little lost due to the overpowering citrus notes.”

Fried Cream Cake

by Liquid EFX

Have you ever tried a Twinkie? Well, this eLiquid is just that, but without the calories!

This juice comes in a bright yellow box, with images of cakes and red bubble writing. Inside the box, there is a plastic 60ml bottle with a twisty cap and similar graphics to the box it came in. It has warnings and brief information about the juice itself. The juice is a beautiful amber colour and is thick and not watery at all. My juice was 3mg (it also comes in 0mg and 6mg too), 60ml and 70%VG. To smell, it reminded me of a pound cake flavoured juice I recently reviewed. However, the taste was rather different. It always amazes me when I try an eLiquid like this because it literally tastes like somebody got a bunch of fried cream cakes, mixed them in a blender, then popped it into a bottle, ready to vape. It is perfectly made of flavours like fried and battered yellow sponge cake as well as creamy vanilla frosting and a touch of dusted sugar. The cake side of the juice is warm and

sweet, a delicious fluffiness engulfs your tastebuds as you inhale. Whilst you are just about to exhale, the smoothness of vanilla takes over the cake flavour and only then will one appreciate the complexity of this stellar eLiquid.

You do get a light aftertaste of powdered sugar that rounds off the flavours neatly. 70% VG seems to be a standard at the moment for higher VG juices, and, personally I prefer 70% VG, as I seem to get amazing clouds as well as decent flavour. This juice from Liquid EFX lives up to this standard VG:PG ratio, and when trying it, you can tell how well the vapour is produced by the extensive clouds you get when exhaling. This juice is very viscous and only sub ohm set ups or RDAs/RTAs will support this eLiqiud's thickness.

I used it on an RDA and the clouds were beyond impressive!

A 60ml bottle will set you back around $27 (roughly £20), which, again is about the average price for a 60ml bottle nowadays. You do get a lot of bang for your buck though, as it is generally more economic to buy one big bottle rather than several small ones.

Overall, I was incredibly pleased with this instalment from Liquid EFX, and I still

a very good thing as my preferred nicotine level happens to be 3mg.

Now, the scent of the juice. Having never tried a waffle flavoured vape (plenty of pancake ones though) I thought this juice may have a similar smell to perhaps 'Pancake Man', however, I felt the waffle one was more of a spicy sweetness than the pancake one.

cannot get over the likeness it has with the real fried cake. The taste was simply phenomenal and vapour production was pretty good. Fantastic juice, definitely put this on to your 'To Try List' if you are a fan of dessert flavours that are not too overpoweringly sweet! 5/5!

Waffle Stack by Cloud Island

Waffle Stack is a premium eLiquid from a Wiltshire based company called Cloud Island. It comes in a 60ml frosted glass bottle, complete with a child proof dropper cap. I thought that the label design probably wouldn't appeal to young children, however it does have pictures of strawberries and waffles. Also on the label, there are several warnings about nicotine, a 'No under 18s' logo as well as PG/VG, nicotine percentage, use by date, batch number and an ingredients list, all very helpful to the consumer.

This particular juice from Cloud Island only comes in a 3mg nicotine, as it is designed for sub ohm vaping, and in my eyes this is

To taste, this eliquid was buttery and not unlike a real waffle that has been smothered in hyper realistic maple syrup. Maple syrup flavours can overtake all of the others in a frenzy of sweetness, but my experience seemed to just be another flavour in a myriad of ingredients.

The waffle flavour in this juice tastes light and fluffy with a touch of wholesome dusting of sugar, straight after experiencing the waffle, one can appreciate the almost artificial tang of strawberry syrup – similar to the syrup used in pancake restaurant chains. The strawberry is ripe yet tart, an unassuming sourness that compliments the smooth rather plain accent of waffle. There is a sweet aftertaste of whipped

butter, that neatly wraps up the various flavours you get with this juice. The butter is not salty, greasy tasting nor overwhelming, it is simply a unique touch that I admired, as buttery flavours have the potential to go disastrously wrong, but did not in this case.

Exhaling, I found all the components of this juice joined together to make a mega flavour, something that should be greatly respected - although I think it got a bit samey after a while, so I couldn't use it as an all day vape, however, this is all subjective.

Vapour production is rather average for an 80% VG, still good as it is a high VG juice, but for some reason (even on an RDA 0.2ohms and 85watts), they did not blow me away.

To summarise, I really appreciated the flavours that this juice displayed, and the clouds were rather satisfactory. I think Cloud Island should be proud of this eLiquid. 3/5

Fizzy Cola by Cloud Island

Cloud Island is a juice company based in Salisbury, Wiltshire, United Kingdom. They have a large selection of different flavours available online. It was a pleasure to try an eLiquid that was produced locally.

They have an awesome website that requires a declaration of appropriate age, and methodically displays all the different flavours – it even has background audio of gently lapping waves!

'Fizzy Cola' comes in a 30ml , 70% VG and has 3mg of nicotine. The bottle is clear plastic, with a unicorn style cap that is child proof.

The labelling is very fitting to the name of the company (Cloud Island) and features a tropical beach image along with a fresh feeling colour profile of blues and yellows.

Creamy Bean by Cloud Island

Creamy bean is a tantalising vanilla milkshake with just the slightest hint of something I can only guess is a cinnamon danish. My bottle of juice was 30ml and had 3mg/ml. To begin with, I must explain that the bottle features plenty of warnings, and graphics that are not particularly appealing to young children and displays very straight and to the point information such as volume, nicotine, PG:VG and, obviously, the name, amongst others. When I opened the 30ml plastic (and child proofed) cap, it revealed a unicorn top that makes dripping a doddle. At first, all I could smell was a smooth cinnamon, evoking many positive memories of cinnamon based foods like cookies, pies and other sweet desserts. To taste on inhaling, the primary flavour was cinnamon, however the sheer complexity of this juice really revealed an element of an authentic and velvety note of vanilla.

It was extraordinary to have such a unique and gratifying experience when vaping. The flavours morphed and mingled with

On the label, there is a decent yet slightly lengthy explanation of certain warnings (although 'slightly lengthy' warnings are much more preferable to no warnings at all). There is also information about the juice displayed on the label, including the juice's name, nicotine percentage, VG:PG ratio, use by date and batch number. All really useful pieces of information, and all neatly displayed on the bottle.

As a self confessed cola connoisseur, it is a wonder that I have never tried a cola flavoured vape until now.

I think this juice is reminiscent of fizzy cola bottle candies rather than a glass of original icy cola, but it still tastes amazing! It's very difficult to convey this without actually trying it, but in my experience, the fizziness was more of a pleasant after taste, or rather an after 'sensation'.

It is sweet , almost spicy and has a wholesome cola kick at the end that incorporates the many elements of this interesting blend of flavours that mix together to construct the ultimate cola vape.

In terms of the production of vapour, this was good for a 70% VG juice.

I tried this on an RDA, with a high wattage, so clouds were far superior than if you were vaping on a sub ohm tank set

one another, something I admire, and will continue to admire in a juice. Firstly you get spicy yet mild cinnamon, then the vanilla bean comes along, and finally, an exhale of creamy milkshake fusion of the two, as well as the most slightest hint of flaky pastry.

The whole process from inhalation to exhalation is smooth, fulfilling and delicious - each step reveals a new

“Cloud Island have triumphed tremendously in generating an intricate set of flavours that work flawlessly together.”

component to the juice.

It seems to be very difficult for eliquid companies to create a complex flavour successfully, or on the other hand, to fail at a simple one. Cloud Island have triumphed tremendously in generating an intricate set of flavours that work flawlessly together.

The VG percentage is at 70%, meaning vapour output is marvellous, particularly when operating on a sub ohm set up.

I would suggest using this eLiquid on an atomiser that has a resistance of

up - although this option between the two is entirely up to personal preference. The fact this was my first cola flavoured vape that I have tried, I cannot comment on how well it compares to other cola ones, however I can confidently say I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

It was mild to inhale, had a beautiful blend of fizzy citrus and cola, pretty good vapour production and the fact it had a number of warnings made this juice very appealing to me, so I would like to rate it 4/5

0.5 ohms or less.

A 10ml bottle of Creamy Bean is about £5 ($6.50), whilst a 30ml bottle sets you back £10.99 ($14.30), both are available in 3mg, 6mg and 12mg. All respectable prices for the magical elixir within!

Overall, I found this juice to be a fantastic fusion of flavours, all accurately assembled in the right ratios. The price is good, as well as the vapour produced when vaping. I liked it a lot! 5/5!

You Got E-Juice

'You Got E-Juice' is an American company specialising in the production of low cost, high quality juices. The labelling is very straightforward, primarily white with black and red writing and has a very simple yet effective logo related to vaping. Also, all of the bottles feature comprehensive warnings including a CA prop 65 notice and a 'Not for sale to minors' one.

The majority of the You Got E-Juice line is available in 0mg, 3mg and 6mg, further, they are about 70% VG, great for both cloud chasers and those of you who prefer strong flavours. I did notice a sharp hit of nicotine on these juices due to the fact I tend to go for 3mg and below, however, this does not in any way count against You Got E-Juice because the juices I received were all 6mg. All the liquids that I am reviewing today are all plastic 60ml bottles with 6mg/ml of nicotine, I will be using the same setup for all of these juices in order to make a fair judgement of each.

Tropical Delight

This juice is rather mild in flavour but represents a pineapple based cocktail the more you vape on it. I can sense another element to this juice, some sort of fruity but bitter and sour kick that is not unlike pomegranate or something similar. As I mentioned earlier, Tropical Delight was a little mild, it doesn't blow your head off in terms of overwhelming flavours. I feel that this let the juice down a bit, because taste is important when vaping. However, due to the mellow aspect of this eLiquid, it could be used as an all day vape, as the flavours are more-ish and the lack of overt flavouring could actually be a plus.I feel like this particular flavour of juice is not my favourite, but it could appeal to many who appreciate pomegranate/fruity mixes. 3/5

Strawberry Custard

This juice is exactly what it says on the tin - Strawberry Custard. I love custard vapes so I was very much looking forward to trying it out. There is a smoothness to the strawberry that mixes fantastically with a warm custard, making the ideal dessert vape. The custard is mild but delicious and amazingly creamy but after vaping on this eLiquid for a while, the strawberry begins to taste a little artificial, something that puts a stop in it's potential to being an all day vape. All in all though, I thought that this eJuice was great in small quantities and the beautifully conducted custard really made it special. 4/5

Summer Breeze

Summer Breeze is a fruity menthol styled flavour, something that already set my alarm bells ringing. I tend to avoid menthol, but upon trying this juice out, I learned to not judge a juice by it's flavour profile! There is a cool kick to a melon/strawberry blend, making this juice rather unique, as many mentholated eLiquids tend to be just menthol or includes fruits such as berries or cherries.

True to the name, this juice would be a perfect summertime vape as it is refreshing and delicious.

The strawberry is sweet and not tart, and the melon is super juicy tasting, both combining with the menthol to reinvent a menthol based fruit (or a fruit based menthol for that matter!) I actually enjoyed this one, despite the menthol. 3/5

is it bland nor tasteless - a perfect combination that tastes just like the real thing. The inhale brings a sweetness of the sugary notes, and exhaling a perfected hint of freshly baked cookies that is truly magical. There are minor aftertastes of caramel and sugar - both delectable in their own right, plus I picked up on the slightest touch of something I can only describe as cinnamon. Overall, a straight up sugar cookie, just baked in the oven and having the potential to be a flavour that you will not grow tired of. I liked this one very much, and would vape it all day if it was a 3mg nicotine strength. 3/5

Sugar Cookie

A rich, buttery and wholesome mixture of flavours join together to create an extravagant sugar cookie vape. It is not overwhelming at all, but neither

Strawberry Cheesecake

Strawberry Cheesecake is a delectable blend of sweet strawberry sauce and creamy cheesecake plus an extraordinary realistic crumbly biscuit base. You can really taste a smooth, not at all harsh strawberry sort of jam or sauce, something that sets this eLiquid apart from the rest. I found that despite being sweet, I could vape on this for a prolonged period of time.It always amazes me when a juice creator manages to perfectly replicate something such as a cheesecake base, but You Got E-Juice managed to do just that! I found this flavour to be fantastic, definitely my favourite in this line. 4/5

“I found that despite being sweet, I could vape on this for a prolonged period of time.”

The Nillionaire series is a group of deliciously fruity flavoured vapes. All my juices were at 3mg nicotine, 30ml and 70% VG. The flavours that I reviewed are; Grapefruit, Raspberry, Mango, Menthol and The O.G. When I received these juices, there was a fantastic smell of fruity gummy sweets not unlike a bag of wine gums. They all came in glass 30ml bottles with labelling that I don’t believe would appeal to young children. The labelling includes information about the company, flavours and has health warnings.

Grapefruit

First of all, let’s get it out there – I dislike grapefruit, I don’t hate it, but it’s more of a mild aversion to it. However, I wanted to give this juice the benefit of the doubt as this is all subjective to one’s taste buds and I’m sure lots of vapers out there find grapefruit to be an appealing flavour. As I mentioned earlier the aroma was incredible, a big waft of sweet fruitiness encapsulated my sense of smell, and despite being a grapefruit flavour, I really liked it so far! I dripped this juice using a Doge V3 RDA on a Sigelei 213, 0.2ohms and at 90 Watts, and I’m so glad I gave this juice another shot because it was simply stunning. In fact, I could hardly pick out any grapefruit flavour in it. It was more of a citrus tasting candy with kicks of sourness on the exhale. However, I could detect an awfully bitter aftertaste that was very similar to real grapefruit. The good thing about it, though, was the fact that the bitter tartness soon dissipated and just ended up tasting juicy and sweet again. I enjoyed trying this juice, but unfortunately the bitter after taste counted against it. I think 3/5 would be a fair rating for this eLiquid.

Raspberry

The smell of this eLiquid is truly spectacular, again, very fruity and appealing. This flavour is extremely authentic and does not taste like super strong artificial blue raspberry. It is rather more similar to a raspberry sorbet. The whole flavour is not creamy but is very smooth from inhale to exhale, it does not irritate one’s throat.

When I say ‘mouthwatering’ I don’t just mean it figuratively, but this eJuice genuinely made my mouth water due to its astounding fruity sweetness. Again, I dripped this juice using a Doge V3 RDA on a Sigelei 213, 0.2ohms and at 90 Watts (in an attempt to make this review fair). The clouds were pretty cracking in my opinion, and they smelled really amazing. I don’t believe that I could vape this all day as the sweetness may become overpowering to your taste buds. But, to be perfectly honest, I preferred the Raspberry flavour to the Grapefruit flavour from the Nillionaire Series. It was juicy, fruity, smooth and had a really nice kick to it in terms of taste. I would give this juice a 4/5 as there is always room for improvement.

Menthol

If there is one flavour I used to despise, it was menthol. To be fair, I am still not keen on it, so please bear with me whilst I attempt to review it. This juice is a more on the mild side of the menthol spectrum, so that was good for me, however, I would probably have liked it more if it had hints of other flavours added to it – but that is just me being picky!

The inhale is cool and fresh whilst the exhale is almost minty, and even though it is only a strength of 3mg nicotine, I did get a little bit of a harsh throat hit. I think when It comes to menthol flavours, I will keep pushing myself to try them, in order to get used to the coldness on inhaling!

As I explained earlier, menthol juices are not my favourite’s but if I were a fan, then this juice would be quite pleasant, so I think possibly a 3/5 would be more than fair.

Mango

After having tried a few different mango flavoured vapes, I was sent this instalment from the Nillionaire line of eJuices. This one is not my favourite, however, it is very close – due to its delectable accuracy and lack of a nasty aftertaste. Again, similar to the Raspberry and Grapefruit, it is so fruity almost to the point that you wouldn’t want it as an all day vape because of the intense sweetness, unless you are a true strong fruity vape flavour fan. However, the taste is spot on mango, one of my favourite fruits, and is plainly just that – no other strong elements to it that could cause the juice to become too complex and risk losing its unique simplicity. I liked the mango flavour, but so far my favourite is still the raspberry, although this one is very close! So I find 4/5 to be fitting.

The O.G.

The O.G. Is the final instalment of the line of juices from the Nillionaire Series, and I believe I am saving the best for last. There is a refined aroma of sugary sweet citrusy lemon. Upon tasting it (again on a Doge V3 RDA on a Sigelei 213, 0.2ohms and at 90 Watts), the first thing that hit me was a sherbet candy element that sort of tastes like yellow skittles. The juice itself is strong and potent, so it tasted similarly to a real lemon sweet. Inhaling this juice’s vapour was rather enjoyable, as it started off as just a generic sweet flavour and as I began to exhale, it developed into a tart but sugary lemon. When you eat skittles, they disintegrate into crystal-like sugar in your mouth, leaving a rather grainy effect, this juice is exactly that taste, just no physical sensation.

Overall, The O.G. was my favourite juice from this line and I felt it greatly matched a lemon (and possibly lime?) sherbet, sugary candy. Again, though, I couldn’t use this juice as an all day vape due to its powerful-tasting nature, but it is perfect in small doses! Easily a 5/5!

P.O.E.T Electronic Nectar is a Californian company that produces a number of bespoke eLiquids. They like to focus on 'excellent taste and creating unique and exotic flavour profiles that our customers and the Vaping community might not normally see and or try.' Just by having a look at the bottles of eLiquid I received from this company, I can say they are most definitely one of a kind! The bottles I have are 30ml made from dark glass, with child-resistant dropper caps, and feature rather plain but effective label design. They get their branding across well, whilst retaining the fact that these juices are not aimed towards young children. All bottles I received were 3mg/ml of nicotine and were all 70% VG.

Sweet Honey Cream

When smelling 'Sweet Honey Cream', I could pick up on an almost fruity tone mixed with honey. When vaping, the honey itself is not plain or average whatsoever, but a blend of unequalled and rather delicate honeys that come across as fruity and floral. It almost doesn't even taste like honey, it literally comes across as sweet flowers that don't taste perfumey, but more edible! There is also a satisfying element of creamy custard undertones that make the honey more balanced, and brings it down a notch in terms of how overpowering the sweetness can get. I think the careful balance between the custard, cream and floral honey is extremely well conducted. If there was just a tiny bit more honey, I would find it to be a bit too potent, and if there was more custard, it would come across as not so unique anymore, the honey that’s used in this flavour is unique and sets this eLiquid apart from the rest! 2/5

Sweet Black Tea

Straight away, I love this flavour! A refreshingly delicious beverage, it tastes like it's made with a variety of different teas, a honey-like sweetness and just a touch of citrusy lemon. I can also pick up on a hint of fruitiness that adds a whole new dimension to this eLiquid.I really like the added fruit tones because it makes this liquid more diverse and a 'one of a kind' sort of flavour. I can see this being an all day vape, especially in the summer time. However I can also see, for some vapers, that this could be a little overbearing in relation to how sweet this eLiquid is. In terms of the flavour matching a real life glass of sweet iced tea, this eLiquid is spot on.

I thought that this liquid was brilliant and was pleasantly surprised when trying it out. I have never had such a one off and unparalleled flavour before so well done to P.O.E.T.! 3/5

P.O.E.T that I received was my favourite, I found the flavourings to be in the exactly right ratios and the fact that it was so different from many of the other Lemon Cake vapes out there. 4/5

Bourbon Spice Roll

To be perfectly honest, I am not a huge fan of alcohol whatsoever, so, when I first read the name of this juice, I admit, I was not particularly excited to try it out. However, I gave it a go.

On inhaling, I tasted notes of spiced pumpkin pie (one of my favourite desserts!) plus a touch of realistic cinnamon - not that nasty, super artificial and spicy type, but more of a rather mild dusting of ground cinnamon.

On exhalation is when you can taste the bourbon. As a non alcohol consumer, I found that the bourbon was sort of a generic alcohol taste, as, to me, most alcoholic flavours taste very similar.

Grandma's Lemon Cake

I have tried several Lemon Cake variants in the past year or so, and they were all rather different. Some were very 'cakey' and left little room for the lemon flavouring, and others I found to be extremely lemony, with just a touch of drizzle cake element to it. However, as soon as I tried this one from P.O.E.T, I knew I was on to a winner!

The lemon is sweet and actually quite smooth, no sour citrus tastes nor any chemically aftertastes. It is blended very well with a mild cake flavour, and instead of them being two separate components, I felt that they became one. In terms of it being overwhelming or too bland, this eLiquid was right in the middle of the spectrum, making it an ideal flavour to vape on all day long. Personally, I think that this eLiquid from

All of the different components were mish-mashed together, creating a fantastic overall flavour. This eLiquid was very well made and it tastes warm and welcoming. Even though the flavours make it a great winter time vape, it can be equally enjoyed any time of year.

I'm glad I gave this eLiquid another go, as I found it to be much better than what I first assumed. It was tasty, warm and very satisfying to vape on. However, I still feel like the 'Grandma's Lemon Cake' flavour to be my Number 1 out of this line! 3/5

REVIEWS

Melon Head

Hometown Vapor is the manufacturer of 'Melon Head', hailing from Kalamazoo (that's fun to say!), Michigan, USA.

The juice I received came in a clear glass 60ml dropper style bottle. The labelling is quite bright and colourful, however I don't think it is overly appealing to young children, although this is down to personal opinion. The juice itself is clear and syrupy thick. My eLiquid came in 3mg (my preferred nicotine level) but it is also available in 0mg and 6mg nicotine. It is a max VG juice, so I was expecting truly decent clouds. A 60ml bottle is available online, retailing for around $25 (£19), so it is a very appropriate price for what it is you are getting in return.

Smelling this wonderful juice's aroma, I could definitely pick up on a candy

styled watermelon- something that is pretty obvious due to it being named 'Melon Head'! When tasting it, a whole new set of flavours came into play. Again, melon is the primary element to this juice, but then I could sense a citrusy candy kick to it.

On the inhale, an overwhelming and generic sugary fruit candy was all I could taste, but, as I continued to vape on it, the flavours mellowed out, and once again, I could taste a melon and lemon hard candy.

Exhaling, these two components bounced off one another, rather than amalgamating. I actually quite liked that, as it gave me the ability to appreciate each unique flavour. The melon accent was sweet and juicy whilst the flavour (best described as lemon) was sugary yet tart, both appealing in their own right. As I predicted, the production of vapour was simply fantastic. The clouds were billowy and thick, and carried a beautiful aroma around the room. However, because of this liquid's heavy viscosity (due to it being a max VG), I would not recommend using it on any set up above

For this particular review, I am using a Sigelei Fuchai 213, running at 97 watts and a Doge V3 RDA utilising 2 clapton coils at 0.18ohms.

Before I even vaped this juice, I could smell a beautiful combination of sweet fruit and a wholesome creaminess. I couldn't wait to try it!

If the smell was anything to go by, the taste was astonishing.On inhalation,

I could pick out a tart and juicy jolt of kiwi fruit, meticulously devised, insanely fruity and a satisfying aftertaste of sourness.

1.0 ohms, as the juice could clog up or damage your coils.

Overall, I rather liked this eliquid, with it's sweet and slightly sour tones and extremely satisfying cloud production.

I've tried a few melon flavoured eJuice, but I think that this one is the best so far!

I would give Melon Head a 4/5

Daddy's by Blue Label Elixir

Blue Label Elixir is a premium line of juices made in the USA. They have a selection of 7 different flavours so far, all available in 35ml and 240ml bottles. The average price for a 35ml bottle is £20 in the UK, however it is cheaper to purchase it in the states as 35ml costs around $20, available in both countries online.

A great thing about Blue Label Elixir is that it comes in a multitude of different nicotine options, 0mg, 1.5mg, 3mg, 6mg, 12mg and 18mg - perfect for even the pickiest vaper!

This juice, called 'Daddy's' comes in 70% VG, so I was expecting decent vapour production from it.

“Upon exhaling, there was a more prominent tang of smooth strawberry that I found matched incredibly well with the kiwi. It was a stroke of genius by Blue Label”

Upon exhaling, there was a more prominent tang of smooth strawberry that I found matched incredibly well with the kiwi. It was a stroke of genius by Blue Label - counteracting tart and juicy with smooth and sweet, it turned out perfect. After a few inhales and exhales, I began to notice a new dimension to this juice, one of a mild but pleasant custard. If there was any way for Blue Label Elixir to improve on this juice, adding a hint of custard was it! It tastes brilliant and

I found it wasn't sickly nor was it boring in flavour. Definitely an all day vape, in my opinion.

The production of vapour was rather pleasing, and at an average 70% VG, it was just as I expected. Overall, I found that this juice was aiming for something just that little bit different, and by all means they achieved it, going for a fruity custard. Something that is not often attempted for fear of getting it wrong, and in my opinion, they got it 100% right!

I would love to try out the other juices in this line, to see if they are just as good as Daddy's. I enjoyed it very much indeed and would give it 5/5!

Created in California, USA, this doughnut flavoured vape I received was 0mg/ml of nicotine, 70% VG and in 30ml. It came in a square shaped glass bottle, complete with a child-proof safety cap. I liked the fact that the dropper was curved at the end, because it made dripping it on a coil much more straightforward and easy. The label art is simple and muted in colour, making it less appealing to young children. It features several health & safety warnings too. The liquid has a pale, clear look to it, and is quite viscous. I love doughnut flavoured eJuices.

There's something about them that makes them a perfect flavour to vape on. I have an ever increasing selection of doughnut eLiquids, and I haven't yet had one I did not like. Glazed Donuts by Pastry Vapor is exactly as the name implies; a straight up plain, sugar-glazed and delicious doughnut.

Pastry Vapor doesn't beat around the bush when it comes to this flavour, it is beautifully simple, and they have excelled at making this flavour pure and straightforward.

This juice is very smooth (partly due to the fact that is a 0mg nicotine) and palatable, one does not tire of it easily. It's plain but exact flavouring makes it a perfect juice to vape on consistently over a long period of time and you won't get sick of it!

Taste-wise you get the sweet, sugary glaze when inhaling, and a spot-on fried doughnut on the exhale.It is difficult to explain this juice, as it is so simple yet so fantastic, sometimes basic is better, certainly in this case. I would even go as far as to say that this specific vape could possibly be in my top 2 favourite doughnut eLiquids!

Cloud production was pretty good, and it's what you would expect at 70%VG, however, I think this could be improved a little. As I mentioned earlier, this juice is the ideal all day vape, as it is not sickly nor repetitive. I applaud the creators of this fine eLiquid for coming up with such a simple flavour that is so effective. 4/5

By Alex Shenker

London based E-liquid company Apache Vape have a large range of high quality E-liquids covering many different tastes. Their juices are also very affordable and cover a range of different nicotine strengths and VG/PG ratios.

I'm tasting five of the Apache Vape juices, and I'm excited to see if the quality of these E-liquids are high considering the lower price point.

Apple

Well the clue's in the name with this juice, it's a straight up apple vape. The

first thing to mention here is the amount of flavour you get from this liquid. The flavour really pops out and treats your tastebuds with a crisp, slightly sour apple flavour. I'm not sure if it's the 50/50 VG/ PG ratio or the flavourings used but this is a seriously tasty apple juice.

Double Menthol

Not a lot to say about this juice, it's simply a very cooling, menthol E-liquid. Excellent as a pallete cleanser and if you like pure menthol juice you'll probably enjoy this but it really speaks for itself.

I did have a cold when I first tried Double Menthol and it seemed to help so that's a bonus.

Pear Drops

Pear Drops brings the classic penny sweet in to the modern age in vape form. As with the other Apache Vape juices the sheer amount of flavour you get is astounding. The sweet and sour pear candy is truly mouthwatering. I really don't know how they managed to pack so much flavour in to these E-liquids.

White Magic

White Magic, which comes in a blue bottle is a fruity menthol mix, not unlike the other blue E-liquid that seems to have spawned so many other similar

juices. It's become a standard in the vape industry and I'm sure you've tried many a juice like this before but it is very tasty and again very flavourful.

War Dance

Last up from Apache Vape is War Dance, featuring a 70/30 VG/PG ratio. The first thing you'll notice about War Dance is it's striking red colour, almost like it's warning you away. I wish I'd heeded the warning.

It's not that I don't like cinnamon juices, I do, but for me War Dance is a step too far. The cinnamon flavour is so strong, so overpowering I struggle to see how any tank or cotton could come back from it.

It's just too much for me. But if you love cinnamon and want a juice that's purely that and nothing more then give it a try.

'Donuts- Glazed' by Pastry Vapor

Scott's

Based in Derby, Scott's are a premium E-liquid company with a wide range of flavours different nicotine strengths. They also feature different VG/PG ratios for their juices so there really is something for everyone. They originally started with just one flavour, Scott's Custard Cream so that's the first of two juices i'll be reviewing.

Scott's Custard Cream (Pictured)

The original Scott's E-liquid, it's a classic flavour and I truly believe they've perfected the formula. The 30ml bottle I have here is 80/20 Vg/Pg but Scott's also do a 50/50 version for all tanks, I think they should be applauded for catering to the whole vape market like that. The flavour of this juice is absolutely stunning, it tastes exactly like the custard

cream biscuits we all know and love. It's smoother than Michael Jackson in a sandpaper factory and creamy as you like. If you've never had a custard cream before they're a biscuit sandwich with cream in the middle and a custard flavour throughout. Definitely try to get your hands on them or even better get Scott's Custard Cream because it tastes exactly the same! 5/5

The Cherry Tune

The second and last juice from Scott's i'm reviewing today is The Cherry Tune. If you've ever had a Tunes cough sweet before you know exactly what to expect here but for those who haven't i'll explain the flavour.

The main base of the flavour is cherry of course, the cherry Scott's have created for this juice tastes ripe and sweet but not strictly authentic. That's fine however as they're trying to mimic the candy not the actual fruit.

The cherry is then blended with subtle eucalyptus and menthol to create a refreshing but still quite sweet cherry cough sweet flavour. I know some people out there will probably hate this juice and others will go crazy for it. I personally really enjoyed it and could most likely vape it continuously. Possibly not all day but definitely a few tank fulls.

Coil Glaze

Coil Glaze are a fairly recent addition to the USA's vast array of E-liquid manufacturers. Working out of California they've released a small collection of two premium juices, Whipped Dreamz and Honey Bunz. I'll be reviewing the latter.

Honey Bunz

As with most E-liquids the first impression comes with the packaging. Honey Bunz comes inside a tall cardboard box with an extremely

vibrant yellow design, complete with an illustration of an RDA with honey dripping from it and all the relevant logos and information. The bottle I received was 60ml and 3mg nicotine. As far as I can tell both of the Coil Glaze juices only come in 60ml bottles with varying nicotine strengths, so be prepared to commit to this juice for a while if you like it.

Honey Bunz also features a high VG content, sitting at 80/20, perfect for all of you cloud chasers out there.

Time to get to the flavour.

First things first, if you don't like sweet E-liquids, Honey Bunz probably isn't for you. It's a real love letter to anyone out there with a sweet tooth. The main flavour on display here, as you would expect, is honey. It's a constant feature throughout this many layered juice. I personally don't seem to see that many E-liquids with a honey flavour so it's nice to see it so heavily represented here. The first taste you'll get when you vape is mainly honey with a hint of sweet pastry. A sugar cinnamon flavour is a welcome addition to the party as the overall taste continues to develop, and it's all rounded up with an even sweeter

honey glaze drizzled all over the exhale. Like I said, this juice is seriously sweet. Overall it's a pleasant vape, I'd be lying if I said I could vape it all day but it definitely works as a treat when you're craving something to satisfy your sweet tooth. I definitely reccomend dripping Honey Bunz, due to it's high VG content and the fact that it's so sweet I think filling a tank would leave you a bit sugared out after a few puffs. 4/5

“A sugar cinnamon flavour is a welcome addition to the party as the overall taste continues to develop, and it’s all rounded up with an even sweeter honey glaze drizzled all over the exhale.”

REVIEWS

mainly because I was so looking forward to trying it. It was almost like vaping on sugar water, with cherries floating in a glass. This lead me to feel like this juice couldn't be my all day vape, due to the bland sweetness to it.

D'Nish is a cherry pastry vape that is manufactured in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. It comes in a 60ml plastic unicorn styled bottle, and has a red label denoting the name, nicotine level and several relevant safety warnings. The juice itself is a lovely golden colour, and has a high VG percentage, which makes the liquid a syrupy consistency. There is no definite or particularly noticeable scent to this eJuice when smelling, only a mild one, rather like a maraschino cherry.

I gave this juice about 3-4 days to vape on (not exclusively, but perhaps one of five juices). I wanted to give it a fair trial, and the fact that the flavour profile appealed to me made me eager to try, and to like this cherry danish liquid. When I tried vaping this, I found it to be a bit sickly. Again, no extremely obvious flavours stood out, only a generic sweetness with just the slightest touch of cherry. This disappointed me a little,

The high VG (70% VG) is very obvious, as the clouds were brilliant, but personally, I just didn't get on with the flavour, which is a shame because of the appealing flavour profile (that unfortunately doesn't live up to my expectations), but nice packaging and great vapour production.

“There is no definite or particularly noticeable scent to this eJuice when smelling, only a mild one, rather like a maraschino cherry.”

The thing with this juice is that it's primary components in terms of flavour are rather weak, something that should be number 1 on the list for juice manufacturers to accomplish. Hardly anyone would go for a juice with underdeveloped flavourings. Basically, I feel like I was let down by this juice when it comes to taste. Honestly

though, it wasn't terrible, it just didn't live up to my expectations as a cherry pastry flavour based eLiquid. On the plus side, the production of vapour was simply superb and the price is rather decent ($24.99 or about £19 in the UK) and is available online and in some vape shops. I don't think I would choose to vape this juice again out of choice. I appreciate it, but personally not my favourite. So I think 2/5 is more than fair.

Eco CBD UK based Eco Vape have created a new range of E-liquids called Eco CBD. If you're unsure what CBD is it stands for cannabinoid. That's right these juices are made with hemp oil, a perfectly legal substance with none of the psychoactive properties of marijuana. It's said that CBD oil can be very useful as pain relief or even help battle depression and anxiety.

The Eco CBD juices come in different strengths of the cannabidiol, from 20mg all the way up to 300mg. It's also worth noting that these juices are unable to be purchased with nicotine in them and also feature a 70% PG heavy mix. Probably not gonna work too well in your drippers or sub ohm tanks.

Menthol CBD 20mg

I decided to start off at the lowest strength of CBD to see how the effects worked with me. The flavour is obviously just menthol but there is a bit of a

herbally aftertaste that I assume comes from the CBD, however you're probably not going to be buying these liquids for the flavour. I'm not sure what sort of effect these juices give but I didn't really feel anything from the 20mg strength. That being said I don't have any chronic pain so it's hard to judge whether or not it would help with that.

Blueberry CBD 100mg

The Blueberry at 100mg is when I started to feel some of the positive effects of the CBD. I do suffer with slight anxiety and depression and found that the juice helped me to relax quite a bit. As I said before this is nothing like marijuana. This juice won't get you 'high' and you won't get any of the negative side effects like paranoia but it definitely chilled me out.

As for the flavour it's your standard blueberry, again with a herbally aftertaste but overall quite pleasant tasting.

The high PG ratio does provide quite a substantial throat hit however so definitely no dripping.

Strawberry & Watermelon CBD 200mg

The highest strength CBD juice I received was this 200mg strawberry and watermelon. I really didn't feel too much of a difference between the 200mg and

100mg liquids but the flavour here is really nice. As you'd expect it's a nice fruity mix of strawberry and watermelon, once again with a slight herbal tinge that was very pleasant. It also did a great job at chilling me out and helping me be less anxious so I definitely reccomend these juices if you suffer with anything really. It can't hurt to try.

Sub Ohm Juice

All of the juices I received were 30ml glass dripper bottles, complete with warnings and child-proof safety caps. They were max VG, and all at 3mg/ml of nicotine.

The juices came in card boxes, and featured rather bright and colourful graphics and fonts. Although this makes a brand look interesting or appealing, it could also lead young children to see them as attractive too. They are manufactured in Miami, Florida, USA.

Fizzy Kush

Fizzy Kush is a rather simple concoction of flavours, but is effectively executed in terms of an extremely realistic tasting juice. I found that the main components in this particular eLiquid to be similar to sour gummy snakes and fizzy cola bottle candies. The gummy snakes taste fruity but tart, and the cola bottles are fizzy and mouth-watering.

On inhaling, the sour gummy sweets are more noticeable, but as you begin to exhale the cola bottle takes over in full force - both fighting for the top spot in terms of flavour.

I always find a juice interesting when it is described as 'fizzy' or 'sour' , as I tend to underestimate the potential of recreating sensations in a liquid that is vaped.

Hats off to Sub Ohm Juice for coming up with such a fantastic and bold eJuice, simplicity is key with sweet flavours and although Fizzy Kush is strong tasting, I feel it still tastes like real candy.

By Peach Atkinson

This juice is a Max VG one, and it is obvious when exhaling, as the clouds were superbly huge. I really find sweet vapes enjoyable, so, in my opinion, I would use this eLiquid as an all day vape. 3/5

Blonut Milk

My personal favourite out of this trio, Blonut Milk is a delectable blend of sugary, fluffy doughnut, mixed with a super smooth and creamy strawberry milkshake. The doughnut has a muted, rather mild taste to it, so it gives the strawberry milkshake most of the limelight. In my eyes, this is perfection in terms of flavour, I love doughnut vapes and the strawberry element really pops up at the end of inhaling. The creaminess is exemplary, especially due to the fact that, again, this juice is a max VG eLiquid, and the clouds seem to carry the smoothness found in the milkshake. Blonut Milk is hands down a top of the line juice, you can tell it was concocted with a lot of care and dedication, and it deserves plenty of recognition because of that. However, it is obviously a very sweet juice, something not all vapers appreciate, but for me, I loved it. 4/5

Blue Waffle

Don't be put off by the name! This juice is slightly generic in terms of flavour combinations, it is a Blueberry Waffle plain and simple. You get the fruity (and slightly artificial) blueberry, plus a light and fluffy waffle taste to it. The problem I found with this juice was that so many different companies have tried to create similar flavours, and somewhere along the way they all start to taste the same. Yes, this is a blueberry waffle, but what is it that sets this one apart from the rest? Well, to start, the flavour as a whole is rather mild and smooth, and is 50/50 taste-wise (half blueberry and the other half waffle). Some juices are different percentages of each, but in my experience, Blue Waffle is more appealing due to the fact that you get equal amounts of flavour, making it less 'samey' than juices that have more blueberry flavouring than waffle and vice versa.

To be honest it didn't win me over as much as the previous two juices from Sub Ohm Juice. In summary, yes, I liked this specific juice, but I have tried so many that I find it difficult to decisively choose the best. 2/5

Austrian company Von Erl have developed a new cartridge based vaping system that I think would work nicely at introducing people to vaping as well as helping people to get off of cigarettes.

The device i'm testing today is the Von Erl MY. It's a cigalike that's small and sleek enough to fit most peoples needs. It's made predominantly of plastic so I would question the longevity of the device, it also feels quite flimsy so I'd definitely be careful with it. It's a very simple device, no buttons, no screens, just the device. It has a charging port on the bottom that works with mini usb, and a port at the top, for cartridges. As for the cartridges they come pre-filled and just slot straight in, when they're finished you simply throw them away.

To vape on this device you simply inhale, there's no firing button, just a light that turns green to let you know you're vaping. It's a really simple and

easy device to use and I think it would be perfect for absolute beginners to vaping but beyond that you probably want to look for something more advanced.

An issue I found is that you often have to inhale really hard to get it to register you're trying to vape. I often found myself with a bit of a headache as I'm used to the amount of airflow found on sub ohm tanks and drippers.

The main downside here is that you are limited to only using the Von Erl E-liquid cartridges and I personally wasn't a huge fan of the flavours I received.

Ginseng Ginger

Probably the nicest flavour I tried, just a nice subtle ginger flavour. Not alot else going on here but pleasant enough to vape.

Tobacco

Standard tobacco flavour, not bad but unfortunately 18mg strength that made me feel quite sick.

Menthol Tobacco

Again not a bad flavour but high strength so I struggled with it.

Cherry

Quite nice and fruity but nothing compared to the fruit flavours you could vape with a device not locked to Von Erl's cartridges. To sum up this is a good device for beginners and I think the idea of cartridges is a good one. If Von Erl can improve their flavours and build quality I think the Von Erl MY would be one of the top starter kits on the market.

As it stands however it's a decent kit but I only reccomend it to the absolute newbies, trying to get off of smoking and in to the world of vaping. You probably won't find an easier to use device on the market. 3/5

Zombie Squash

Zombie Squash is a range of affordable, yet high quality E-liquids, developed and manufactured by UK juice company Z-Squad. Z-Squad create all of their juices using high quality flavourings and nicotine within a clean room, and each batch is numbered with an expiry date to ensure that each juice meets their high standards. I'm reviewing their Zombie Squash collection, a range of four E-liquids, all with strong, unique flavours.

Monkey Puff

Monkey Puff is a fruity concoction, combining berries and apples with loads of different tropical fruits. There's a lot going on in this juice and it's hard to pick out the individual flavours but the overall taste is a nice and sweet cocktail. I personally just wish each of the fruit flavours were distinct and blended a little better.

Hellbender

Hellbender is another juice with a lot of different flavours contributing to the overall vape. It's an ultra cooling blend of strong menthol, with liquorice and aniseed as well as a subtle fruit flavour. I think Hellbender might be a bit too much for a lot of people's tastes but I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's definitely a refreshing pallette cleanser, really good at eliminating vaper's tongue.

Shaven Haven

This juice is a little simpler, it's basically a strawberry custard vape at heart. The strawberry flavour is decent, more sugary than most and a little artificial tasting but a good partner for the creamy custard. It's worth mentioning how smooth this E-liquid is, even with it's 60/40 VG/PG ratio it's very easy to vape. The custard flavour is very pleasant, just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess. Overall a very vapeable juice that I'd like to try again.

Rick's Mix

Last up from Zombie Squash is Rick's Mix, a real cacophony of flavour. I imagine Z-squad creating this juice at midnight, in a laboratory, all maniacally laughing and throwing flavours across

the room to see what landed in the mixer. There is so much going on in Rick's Mix it's hard to pick out individual flavours but there's fruit, there's menthol, there's hints of aniseed and other spices, it's slightly creamy, it's sweet, it's sour, it's everything. More importantly it tastes really nice, I'm not sure you'll find anything else like Rick's Mix on the market so on that merit alone, you have to try it. 4/5

REVIEWS

Hades

Loki is a new line of E-liquids from UK juice creators Thor. Working out of Eastbourne they've developed this collection of five premium liquids, all featuring 70% VG and some interesting flavours that I'm sure a lot of people will love. I've tried most of Thor's juices in the past and was fairly impressed by them so let's see what Loki brings to the table.

Ares

Ares is a fruity dessert vape, delicately balancing sweet, ripe strawberries with creamy vanilla bean ice cream. The strawberry flavours used here are an absolute triumph, definitely more on the sugary side but juicy and moreish. More strawberry flavours like this please! The vanilla ice cream is a worthy companion to the fruit, and again the flavours are spot on. It's the way the juice has been blended that stands out the most to me, every single flavour working towards the final goal of a beautiful, summery dessert vape.

Hades is another fruity E-liquid, this time with some interesting twists that really captivated me. It's a combination of different berries, raspberry, blueberry and strawberry with subtle yet effective hints of cinnamon and almond. As with Ares the fruits are delicious and authentic tasting, I especially enjoyed the raspberry with it's slight sourness. The cinnamon and almond flavours work surprisingly well, adding another dimension and there's some serious depth of flavour in Hades. A fitting juice for the lord of the underworld.

Medusa

Medusa is a really interesting fruit blend, combining a variety of different sweet fruits with a huge smack of citrus and an underlying aniseed that's present throughout the whole juice. I know aniseed is a bit of a love/hate flavour so alot of people won't like Medusa but I love it and found this to be a very unique juice. There's a massive amount going on here and it all somehow comes together to create a refreshingly unique flavour. You won't find many E-liquids like Medusa on the market so give it a go if you're up for something new.

Pegasus

Those of you with a sweet tooth, look no further than Pegasus. Like it's winged namesake this juice soars through the sky on high VG clouds filled with creamy custard, vanilla cake and a huge amount of luxurious, thick cream. This juice is seriously decadent, I mean it, if you don't like rich juices Pegasus won't be for you. As with all of the other Thor liquids that flavour and blend is absolutely on point, you'll struggle to find a better tasting vanilla cream juice than this.

Poseidon

Last up from Loki is Poseidon, another serious dessert liquid with a truly unique combination of flavours. The first thing you'll taste when you vape Poseidon is blueberry cheesecake, delicious. It's then joined by vanilla, more cream, some hazlenuts sprinkled on top and finally peanut butter, my absolute favourite. You might be thinking. blueberry and peanut butter? So was I, but yes, it works beautifully here. This is another juice with a hugh amount of complexity and more layers than puff pastry but it's so well measured, so masterfully blended.

US E-liquid manufacturers, Kilo, have spent months meticulously researching and developing a line of juices, in the hopes of creating a truly quality collection of flavours. Each of their five juices contain the highest grade ingredients and are steeped in house to ensure maximum flavour. I've heard good things about Kilo's juices and I'm thrilled to be reviewing this fruity collection of liquids.

Dewberry Cream

First up from Kilo is Dewberry Cream, a lovely sweet blend of honeydew melon, berries and cream. All of the flavours in this juice are absolutely bang on.

The melon and berry flavours are completely authentic and the cream does a great job of blending them together. You really do get so much flavour from Dewberry Cream, it's bold and has the perfect amount of sweetness for me. I definitely reccomend this E-liquid and hope the rest of the Kilo range is as good as Dewberry Cream.

Tru Blu

As we all know there are a lot of custard E-liquids on the market. Tru Blu is Kilo's attempt at one with a fruity twist. First things first let's look at the flavour here. It's a nice custard vape, good amount of sweetness and creaminess, well blended, definitely not the best I've had but a really smooth and creamy custard none the less. I think the star of Tru Blu is the blueberry. The sweet and slightly tart fruit brings another dimension to the custard and in my opinion it's an excellent mix of two classic flavours coming together to create something truly delicious.

Cereal Milk

Cereal Milk is Kilo's entry in to the crowded cereal E-liquid category. I think I've probably vaped at least a hundred

different cereal vapes this year, so I definitely consider myself a bit of a connoisseur in this stlye of juice.

Cereal Milk is a froot loop style vape with a milky cream effect I've come to expect from cereal juices. Although this isn't a unique E-liquid it's definitely been executed extremely well by Kilo. The fruity cereal tastes sweet and authentic, lending itself very nicely to the creamy milk. It's the way the flavour blend that's the real star here, you can tell that Kilo are real masters of the art of juice mixing, with each individual component getting it's time to shine but never stealing the show. Each flavour adding to the overall effect of a sugary sweet, milky bowl of cereal. Definitely one of my favourite cereal E-liquids this year. Also available from Kilo.

Kiberry Yogurt

A fresh tasting strawberry kiwi yoghurt vape.

Fruit Whip

A fruit cocktail containing apples, pears, berries, tropical fruit and whipped cream.

Paris based vape manufacturers Fuu have developed a new range of E-liquids specifically made for drippers called Fuuglife. Featuring a high VG content at 80/20 and the option to buy massive 100ml bottles these juices have all the tools to be excellent dripping liquids. Today i'm reviewing one of these juices, Low Rider, and having vaped around half of the 100ml bottle I received, I think I have a pretty good measure of it.

Low Rider

The large 100ml plastic bottle that Low Rider comes in has very little information on it. Beyond the GTA style font and the illustration of an aardvark dressed up in

baggy clothes and sunglasses not alot is given away. There's some miniscule writing on one side of the bottle that tells you the VG/PG content and the usual warnings, and if you look right at the bottom of the label it tells you that this is a fuuglife juice. If I was Fuu i'd make sure their name was on the front of the juice somewhere because people like to know what company they're buying their liquids from.

Low Rider is not your typical juice. The flavours used are a little bit different to what I usually vape and my initial reaction was that of confusion. I really didn't get on with this E-liquid at first but I decided to stick with it and it's actually grown on me quite a bit.

The main flavours in Low Rider are blackberry and lime. Both fairly sour fruits that together definitely make you cringe a little. Thankfully I think the blackberry has got just enough sweetness to carry the flavour along without it becoming too acidic. Just when I got to grips with the blackberry and lime the bizzare addition of spearmint gave my tastebuds another shock. It was at that point I immediately threw Low Rider to the side and rewicked my dripper. I thought that was my time with this juice

mysterious black glass bottle with an eye on it, to the absolutely stunning flavour. Illuminati has a tank friendly 60/40 VG/ PG ratio so can be used with pretty much any tank or dripper you throw at it, and the higher PG really doesn't make the vape any harsher, it's as smooth as a max VG liquid.

done, but a few days later the strange, decked out aardvark caught my eye again. Round two was well and truly on. To my absolute surprise I actually enjoyed Low Rider the second time around. I think after the initial shock and awe it just clicked for me. I really can't tell you why I enjoy this juice, on paper it shouldnt work but for me it just does. Definitely give Low Rider a try if you're looking for something unique, and if at first you don't like it, try try again. 4/5

The founders of US E-liquid manufacturer Propaganda started out in 2014 with $200 dollars and a sink. The company has certainly come a long way since then with a line of four premium juices as well as two boxed E-liquids known as The Hype Collection. Today i'm trying a juice from their standard collection of four extremely varied flavours.

Illuminati Illuminati (cue the X-files theme) Is a fruity E-liquid that I've been completely addicted to the past week or so. I love everything about this juice, from the

If you're in to your fruit E-liquids Illuminati will be absolute bliss for you. Rich, slightly acidic blood orange is blended with sweet strawberries and a slight undertone of pineapple. The three fruits compliment each other perfectly, an excellent mix of sweet and sour. As I mentioned earlier the vape is so smooth and the slightly higher PG carries the flavour really well. It really does feel like your drinking a fruit cocktail with each vape.

I got through the 15ml of Illuminati in about two days flat. I really wish I'd rationed it now because I'm missing it and definitely looking to get my hands on more. I urge you to get this juice! It's masterfully blended and the fruit flavours are to die for. Top marks Propaganda! 5/5

Major TPD-Inspired Changes Sees Vaping Warehouse and E-quits Group Formed

AS ONE OF THE UK’S LARGEST MANUFACTURERS OF E-LIQUID’S, LONJAS UK (NOW PART OF THE E-QUITS GROUP) HAVE BEEN A MAJOR PLAYER IN THE UK FOR SOME TIME NOW.

However, with a diversifying market place and the shadow of the TPD hanging ominously overhead, things have changed drastically over the last year or so.

Lonjas never intended to launch its own ranges and were quite happy creating wonderful flavours and producing them for their customers. (whom many have built up great brand awareness on high streets up and down the cities of Europe and beyond.) Lonjas were happy with that, content to stay quietly as the hidden partner in the background as the customers made their names. With the imminent introduction of the TPD, things changed. It was clear that everybody would have to streamline their ranges and future bespoke flavours would need to be launched with a degree of caution and more extensive market research, which was never previously required.

Lonjas CEO David Extance has been actively involved with the new regulations since the day they were announced and sits on the all-parliamentary panel for E-cigarettes, Lonjas has also been credited by the MHRA for its consultation on the regulations.

Lonjas had also noticed the tendency for

wholesalers to be taking the Lion’s share of the profit away from the manufacturer and the retailer, whilst also being the least interested parties when it came to discussing and implementing the incoming regulations.

It was with this in mind that the concept for the VapingWarehouse.co.uk was born, to create a hub where the retailer outlets could deal directly with the manufacturer and pay the kind of prices that only distributors and wholesalers are used to paying, and to build a ‘direct to source’ relationship between the creators and sellers of e-liquid where future flavours can be discussed and the feedback is first hand from those who know their business.

The Vapingwarehouse.co.uk was launched with three new premium brands, and also the entire catalogue of Heidi Heisenberg’s ridiculously tasty range of flavours.

As to not upset the many customers who Lonjas manufacture for, (some of whom had raised concerns that they were going into direct competition with them) , Lonjas offered a very agreeable solution, in that we would promote their ranges both on the vapingwarehouse. co.uk website and also with our tour of

trade shows and Exhibitions we show at every year.

It was around this time that a deal was struck between David Extance and Heidi Davies (Owner of Heidi Heisenberg Ltd) where Heidi’s already established range would become part of the E-quits family in return for TPD compliance and product development.

With the new arrangements in place, a company restructure was required, The E-quits group was formed, so Lonjas UK, VapingWarehouse.co.uk and Heidi Heisenberg Ltd were all now family members of the E-quits group, where Lonjas UK facilitates manufacturing for our customer ranges as it has always done, and VapingWarehouse.co.uk became the supply outlet to retailers and shops throughout the UK and beyond. Alongside the new structuring, an aggressive pricing policy was implemented for all of the new products to allow the retailers to buy cheap and sell high. To accompany this, E-quits also offered an industry first, sale or return/ or credit facilities to their high street customers which allowed for a complete risk free partnership

The team have since been busy developing a range of 25 white

label flavours which will be available exclusively in TPD compliant 10ml form. Without compromise to the expected great flavours from E-liquids manufactured by Lonjas UK, the new range is priced very favourably against cheap foreign imports and again marks an industry first for a genuine UK manufactured E-liquid allowing great mark-up for the retailers through dealing direct with the Manufacturer.

The range is currently available with VapingWarehouse.co.uk packaging or can be rebranded to client’s requirements without any concern for TPD costs.

It has been an exciting time in the Industry for the E-quits group, from humble beginnings to now employing 28 staff over three locations, the success story has been as rapid as it has spectacular. The next 24 months will also be full of challenges, and like everyone else in the industry the implications of Brexit need to be assessed and a clear path formed over how the UK regulation is going to work in future.

When asked on the subject, David Extance replied, “It’s an unique situation, we really need some clarity from the MHRA in regard to the implications of the UK leaving the EU, The TPD was

drafted into UK law under the Tobacco and related products regulations 2016 , but this legislation specifically refers to the EU -gateway for notification of products. So, what happens after 2 years? We won’t be able to use the EU-gateway system anymore, so will we have to re-submit all juices to a new UK only system? Will we have to pay submissions fees all over again?

We need some answers on these questions and quickly. I believe that the best course of action for the authorities at the moment is put a suspension on the November 2016 and May 2017 transition dates to give themselves, the MHRA and the industry as a whole, a little breathing room to adjust.”

Whatever roads lay ahead, one thing you can be sure of, is that the E-quits group will still be there, racking their collective brains to come up with the next innovation…

“It’s an unique situation, we really need some clarity from the MHRA in regard to the implications of the UK leaving the EU”

To new coil builders, practice makes perfect, and here are a few images to inspire you.

Adrenaline is a hormone produced when you’re excited. We have to ask, what really gets your heart rate going? It could be a solid cardio session at the gym, or checking into your favourite restaurant. A spike in adrenaline could be due to you getting your hands on those latest trainers that you just NEED, or finally receiving your vapemail through the post. What gets Team Vapouround going? If you’re anything like us, then taking a peek at wonderful mods from around the world will make you very happy indeed. When we clap eyes on beautiful mods that would be a crime not to write about, a certain Grease song bombards our brains. We have chills, they’re multiplying, and it’s safe to say, yes we do lose a little control... upon seeing magnificent mods. Here are a few, just for you. Enjoy.

Innokin Cool Fire IV Plus

Delivering over 70 watts and a 330mAh battery with superb longevity makes this one mod to place on your “WANT NOW” list. A light and bright OLED screen and tri-colour LED battery level indicator are just a few of the perks of this nifty, gorgeous mod. By producing whopping great clouds, this is a big hit with cloud chasers. Its ergonomic, sleek design means it fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. This is a great piece of kit and the vape counter is a cool bonus, especially for new vapers keen to monitor how much they are vaping.

This feels like a heavy duty mod and it certainly means business. The 150 watt maximum output, magnetic battery cover and stunning anodised finish makes this look and feel like a million dollars. The laser engraved logo on both the front and back gives this an exclusive feel, hence the mid to high range price-tag. With safety features aplenty including low resistance protection, short protection and over-heat protection, you can rest easy that this mod is probably one of the safest ones on the block.

TECC Arc

This upgraded version not only has a longer lasting battery with a life of 2600 mAh but the addition of simple controls makes this one very userfriendly mod indeed. Safety is a key feature in this mod with clean simple lines; the 5 click on/off button function lets you store it safely. One of the things we like about this mod, is the option to vape whilst charging. Other key and highly likeable features include OLED screen which is fashionable, and the firing pin ensuring versatility of use with a diverse range of RDAs.

This mod is visually stunning and fits beautifully (as if it belonged there) in the palm of your hand. A spring loaded pin means that your tank or atomiser will stay put, whilst the high definition OLED screen shows everything from resistance of your atomiser to temperature and puffs taken. Removable rubber grips are great to customise this already gorgeous mod, which are available in blue, white and red. One of the standout features has to be the charging capabilities. The internal battery can be USB charged within 90 minutes, and the 900 mAh battery means you can enjoy your vape on a single charge. What’s not to love?

VIP Skystorm

This cool mod with a sleek design boasts great features, including a super smooth temperature control function. With a delivery of up to 200 watts, powered by the YiHi SX330-200 Chipset, you can really go to town and run up to 100 Joules. 18650 batteries ensure you can enjoy a good long vaping session, whilst the icing on this vape, is that you can upgrade firmware within seconds.

IBVTA: Independent British Vape Trade Association

FIVAPE: Fédération interprofessionnelle de la vape / Interprofessional Vaping Federation / French Vaping Federation

These are challenging times for the vape industry in Europe as it comes to terms with a new regulatory environment following the implementation of the revised Tobacco Products Directive. There are other challenges on the horizon including the vexed issue of taxation and the forthcoming COP 7 meeting in India later this year.

Hoping to rise to these challenges is a new body established to provide a united voice for the independent vape industry in Brussels – the European Coalition for Independent Vape (ECIV).

Recently, I met with two of ECIV’s founding committee members, Fraser Cropper and Jean Moiroud, to find out more about this new organisation and how it is coming to terms with Brexit.

1) Could you introduce IBVTA and FIVAPE?

Fraser: IBVTA is a collaborative organisation and is not owned by any one individual company or group of companies, IBVTA is owned collectively by all its members. Based in the heart of Westminster, IBVTA is supported by a dedicated secretariat and a science and regulatory committee made up of engineers, chemists, and pharmacists. The mission of IBVTA is to provide

credible knowledge and guidance to support the independent vape sector and promote constructive interaction between this industry sector and the scientific community, vapers, regulators, policy makers, and the general public. IBVTA fosters research and manufacturing excellence, in order to deliver a robust yet proportionate consumer regulatory landscape that adequately reflects the needs of vaping stakeholders and recognises vaping as a sector in its own right. All IBVTA members are free from any ownership or control by the tobacco and pharmaceutical industries.

Jean: FIVAPE, the Interprofessional Vaping Federation, represents more than 360 French vape companies, among them the leading French producers and distributors. Its four divisions – Manufacturers, Distributors, User Relations and Europe & International – align themselves with all relevant stakeholders and experts in order to establish a network, defend professional and user interests, offer trainings, develop standards and advocate the liberty of vaping. Fivape has further committed itself to full independence from the tobacco industry and therefore has each member sign a declaration of absence of interests with manufacturers of conventional cigarettes and other tobacco products.

Last June, IBVTA and FIVAPE announced that they were joining forces to form ECIV. Could you tell us why you decided to create this cooperation?

Jean: Fivape has been active both at the European and the international level since its foundation. We were explaining our vision for an independent sector to our friends outside France, knowing that many stakeholders were sharing our views: vape products are neither tobacco nor pharmaceutical products and should therefore be regulated as a product set in its own right. ECIV firstly means bringing people and the industry together, so we can promote a proportionate regulation based on the fact that vaping is at least 95% less harmful than smoking. ECIV is an initiative that will allow us to work more closely together to shape the future of vaping in Europe and to defend the interests of millions of individual vapers.

Fraser: Many of those involved in the creation of IBVTA have worked closely with FIVAPE for some time.

Our experience of the TPD and the more recent engagements that IBVTA has had in Brussels convinced us of the need, not only to work more closely with likeminded organisations across Europe, but to also form a new EU-wide organisation dedicated to fighting for the interests of the independent vape

industry on a daily basis in Brussels. We are delighted to have joined forces with FIVAPE, and look forward to welcoming other independent vape industry organisations from other Member States.

Will Brexit have an impact on IBVTA’s involvement with ECIV?

Fraser: In June the UK voted to leave the EU and at some point over the next two years, that is what will happen. Until that moment the UK is still a member of the EU and bound by all obligations of membership. Therefore, at this moment in time, the TPD is still binding and the UK industry still needs to comply with it. What happens next will depend on the wider negotiations between our Government and Brussels and the exact nature of the UK’s future relationship with the EU. It is this that will determine whether or not the current regulations remain in force beyond the point that the UK actually leaves the EU.

We will not be resigning from ECIV and see our involvement within ECIV now being more important than ever for the stability of our members’ trade with the EU and for wider political engagement.

What impact do you think Brexit will have on the regulation of vape products in the UK and beyond?

Fraser: As I said previously, our

members are still bound by the TPD and will be so for at least two years. What happens after that will depend on the wider negotiations between our Government and Brussels and the exact nature of the UK’s future relationship with the EU. It is this that will determine whether or not the current regulations remain in force beyond the point that the UK actually leaves the EU.

In all of this, my role as chairman of IBVTA is to look out for our members’ best interests and to ensure that their views are heard by those in power, both here in the UK and in Brussels. IBVTA will be meeting with government officials as a matter or priority to discuss the full implications of the referendum result and will continue to make the case for sector specific and proportionate regulations for the independent vape industry. I hope that outside of the EU, the UK will see the sense in developing a set of sector specific proportionate regulations and that this approach can be an example to other countries within Europe and perhaps, even the European Commission.

What do you see as the immediate challenges for ECIV?

Jean: Uniting the independent vape industry in Europe and raising awareness for the numerous challenges we are facing is one thing we are committed to. Then there is the ambition

of everyone involved in ECIV to achieve results in the short term. Regarding the TPD, the multiple and unwise transpositions throughout the EU call for a significant shift in the way public authorities deal with vape products.

We think we can make a difference here. Fraser: Well, clearly the TPD continues to be an issue of significance.

Many Member States are still to implement it and we are all still tied up in negotiations surrounding some of the finer details. A great deal of our focus must be to support our respective members through this challenging period, whilst at the same time pushing for and preparing for a review of the TPD at the earliest opportunity.

In addition to this is the issue of taxation. Later this year the Commission will consult on whether or not excise should be levied on vaping products. This will be an issue of vital importance and one that ECIV will need to be full engaged. Finally, looking beyond the EU we have COP 7 in India later this year.

We have been deeply concerned regarding the WHO’s publicly expressed views on vaping and the impact this has had in many countries around the world. We will be engaging with the EU’s representatives at COP 7 to ensure they are fully aware of the latest evidence regarding vaping and the views of the independent vape industry.

Q&A

How long have you been vaping, and did it help you stop smoking?

About 5 years, and yes it totally helped me to give up smoking. I had smoked since I was a teenager and tried all sorts of cessation aids but nothing worked permanently - once I had a pint in my hand I was off again. Vaping has been described as the most important medical invention since penicillin, and I agree!

You are the MD of Decadent Vapours. How did you end up there?

I first met Pete, the founder and owner, about 3 years ago when my company Create a Brand re-branded DV. Even then I was an avid vaper and already loved DV’s products, and we really hit it off. One thing led to another, and Pete asked me to take the reins so that he could continue inventing, which is what he loves to do. I knew the products and the brand could go far, so as they say ‘it was a no-brainer’. And here I am several years later, happy as Larry.

So what’s special about Decadent Vapours?

DV was one of the UK’s first e-liquids manufacturers and has always led the field in flavour development. Our

developers have had years of experience creating and finely tuning flavours. The aim has always been to make some of the most realistic, non-synthetic tasting e-liquids around. This is a craft, just like whisky-distilling and beer-making. DV has long been a supplier to many other leading e-liquid companies, because they like the quality of our flavours.

Is it true that DV have Roast Beef and Smokey Bacon flavour e-liquids?

Yes, those were among the first flavours DV ever created, over 7 years ago. It takes real skill to accurately recreate complex flavours like those - the fact that Pete was a highly skilled chef was an advantage. Hundreds of DV flavours have been created since, most of them not as off the wall as those, but tasty, memorable and unique all the same!

Why do you think so many smokers have switched to vaping Smoking isn’t just about the inhaling of over 4000 carcinogenic additives (by the way, these are what smokers really become addicted to; nicotine is only as addictive as caffeine, something most people find easy to give up).

It’s about the experience itself - I mean the holding of something in your hand, the inhaling, and of course the social side of it to - having something in common with people across all walks of life, wherever you are. Vaping still gives you all that, but without the health worries - superb!

Is vaping safe?

Well put it this way: the average cigarette has over 4000 additives, many of which have been proven to be carcinogenic; good quality TPDcompliant e-liquids have four ingredients, if you include nicotinewhich is, contrary to popular belief, not very addictive. Numerous studies have concluded that vaping is not harmful, so I leave you to draw your own conclusions… My own view is that vaping is safe, and that it would save the NHS millions if it was to be endorsed as a viable alternative to smoking and permitted in places where smoking isn’t.

The vapou r to savour

Archie Powell, MD of one of the UK’s leading e-liquid manufacturers, Decadent Vapours, takes time out to chat to us about all things e-liquid and roast beef...

Is it true to say that all e-liquids are basically the same, and that it’s really just the branding and packaging that’s different?

Absolutely not. Some liquids have substances in them such as diacetyl and acetyl propionyl that help them to taste sweet and buttery. These are thought to be dangerous if ingested, and we don’t allow them anywhere near Decadent Vapours products. Unfortunately this is not the case for a good proportion of other liquids on the market, particularly from the US - although the governing body there, the FDA, is now trying to clamp down on their use. Products coming from China, for example, contain all sorts of additives, but until now with no regulation for the consumer it was pot luck. But people should ask themselves: if it’s considerably cheaper, then why is that?

How important is it to know what is in your e-liquids?

You should always be able to know what you are putting in your body –e-liquids are no different. If you buy from a reputable manufacturer such as Decadent Vapours, you get the reassurance that the products are safe. Even some of the more well-known brands still add substances that are considered not to be safe, such as diacetyl and acetyl propionyl, so we advise that you always check the label to make sure they have not been added.

You claim your e-liquids are all made in the UK - are they actually made here?

Yes, and always have been. Our factory is in sunny Swansea where every single one of our 130 products is devised, manufactured and bottled.

Who buys your products?

We sell all over the world to a very broad range of people as we really do have something for everyone. Apart from our very popular pre-mixed e-liquids, we sell flavour concentrates and diluents for vapers who like to mix their own, and we are a large OEM supplier to other manufacturers. It’s a busy and growing market, and things are looking very good for the future – exciting times!

How will the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) affect Decadent Vapours and the vaping industry generally?

It has caused a fair deal of upheaval and inconvenience for the industry, mainly because its formulation was not done as straightforwardly and sensibly as one might hope. However, at DV we have taken it in our stride. We have always used the highest quality of ingredients and pharmaceutical grade nicotine. We were the first company to have our liquids laboratory tested, and manufacture our products under the most stringent conditions. For us, it’s the changes in bottle sizes and the regulations about advertising and labelling that have been more of a concern. But we’ve successfully resolved those.

This has been a challenging year for the vaping industry - how has Decadent Vapours found it?

Challenging, yes, but pretty exciting too. The e-cigarette /vaping industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in the UK and maybe even the world. In my opinion, bringing in regulations like the TPD is a good thing. It protects consumers from substandard products made in less than ideal conditions and containing goodness knows what. This makes for a more level playing field for those companies such as DV who actually want to offer a safe,

high-quality product. It’s a great time to be involved with this industry. There are lots of really great people involved, and generally a good camaraderie between companies - working towards a common cause has definitely brought us all closer together as an industry.

Has Brexit changed anything for you? Not as yet - and we are not too concerned. It may well mean the TPD will not be enforced here as stringently as it might have been, though obviously as we sell worldwide we will still have to comply with all relevant product regulations - that’s just business.

Decadent Vapours have won quite a few awards - do you think this is important?

Customer satisfaction, product quality and customer perception are very important to us. We want to please and impress people. So when we receive feedback and acknowledgment of doing a good job, of course we’re pleased. It reinforces what we are doing and makes it feel like it’s all worthwhile.

My own view is that vaping is safe, and that it would save the NHS millions if it was to be endorsed as a viable alternative to smoking and permitted in places where smoking isn’t.

Flavour Power E-liquids are renowned for their unique intensity and originality of flavours. By packing a punch in the flavour stakes, the forward-thinking company are keen to continue wowing vape stores across France and beyond.

Flavour Power E-liquids are available in the UK in 50 PG / 50 VG in 12 different flavours, including the stunning Verone. This tasty vape has sweet French brioche, dreamy vanilla, creamy coconut and zingy lime.

Having launched in June 2016 earlier this year, this latest flavour is already one of the company’s bestsellers. Their e-liquids are lovingly created and manufactured in France by an Auvergne based laboratory specialising in the food industry for over 15 years. After noticing an upward trend in the flourishing vape industry, the laboratory decided to specialise in the manufacturing of e-liquids five years ago and hasn’t looked back.

Flavour Power’s attention to detail and considerate nature ensures safety of vapers at all times. Their bottles are produced in France and are ISO 8317 certified, enabling distribution partners and vapers to have peace of mind whilst vaping.

The e-liquids are available in four different nicotine grades: zero, 3mg, 6mg and 12mg. This means there is something out there for everyone. The selection of flavours enables each vaper to find their own perfect vape, be it for a special occasion such as your birthday, or whilst simply relaxing to enjoy your all day vape.

Caroline Bauer, the CEO of CBP distri, exclusive distributor of the Flavour Power brand said: “The Verone flavour is appreciated for its originality but more important for the pleasure it brings in vaping.” Having taken France by storm, Flavour Power is now looking

for motivated distribution partners in the UK. For more information and to discuss wholesale opportunities, please contact Charlotte Vicat, Export Sales Director at charlotte.vicat@flavour-power.com.

Flavour Power will also be exhibiting at the Vaper Expo UK in Birmingham from 14 – 16 October 2016.

They look forward to connecting with you and will be pleased to present their delicious range of e-liquids, and to discuss business opportunities.

Summer is all about sunshine packed social vape meets and festivals, and VapeCollective is one such event which had the crowds raring to go. Held over the bank holiday weekend from 28 – 29 May at Parklands Sports and Social Club in Wheatley, the weather just about managed to behave to keep hundreds of vapers happy. Vapers were able to chill out in the Music Marquee and enjoy live music from acclaimed talent Damian Morter, The Shambles and Justin Powers. The Yorkshire Vaper Marquee was also the exciting arena for The World Series of Cloud Chasing heat, where hundreds

of cloud chasers puffed away to qualify for the finals to be held in August later this year.

There was a massive raffle consisting of a bumper prize win that included over 50 bottles of e-liquid, top of the range mods, bay charger and PWM

attendance, the festival was a resounding success.

Vendors were also full of praise for the event. Ross Eveleigh of Token Vape said: “We went on both days, travelling all the way from sunny Devon. It was our first ever vape festival where we were able to attend as a vendor. We were not sure what to expect, but were really excited to be part of the first time event. The event was created entirely by vapers for vapers, with a really strong emphasis on giving a platform to small, independent UK companies.”

Box. 100% of all proceeds were donated to SOFT UK, a charity helping babies born with a genetic condition which affects foetal development. With a great cause being supported and over 60 eager vendors in

Ross continued: “It was a friendly, relaxed atmosphere and a great space to meet fellow vapers at a nice outdoor festival. With the TPD now in effect, it is vital now more than ever, that small businesses in the UK be given platforms to present their wares and meet their customers.”

Although this was VapeCollective’s debut in Doncaster, it took months of planning and solid research to ensure the festival ran as smoothly as possible. Damon

Fairhurst, co-founder of VapeCollective is an early vaping adopter. He took up vaping in 2013 and is now a full time vaper keen to spread the word about vaping and its benefits. His foray in the vaping industry saw him start as a reviewer, stemming from his frustration at the poor quality of e-liquids available at that time. Word spread about his honest reviews and hard-hitting features, and after building a loyal social media following, it wasn’t long before Damon was the go-to voice in the vaping community. From there, becoming a vape festival organiser was a natural progression.

Seeds for Doncaster’s first vape festival were actually sown way back in 2014. Damon had originally started off helping the festival with administration, social media and event management. VapeCollective came about through the collective passion of vapers who

were keen to uphold the ethos of being a non-profit, pro-UK organisation. With many festivals attracting a global crowd with international exhibitors, it was VapeCollective’s clear objective for the spotlight to be on UK businesses. Reflecting on the festival, Damon said: “With over 2000 vapers in attendance, it was a great event. The only way is up for VapeCollective – next year will be bigger and better than ever. We have asked for feedback and taken comments on board. There were a few teething problems, including an online glitch for ticket sales, but this was quickly rectified with the efficient release of an informative statement.

“We strive to provide the best

service and vaping experience. We are looking into a full rebrand, so watch this space for some very exciting news. On behalf of VapeCollective, I’d like to thank the fantastic vaping community which we are proud to be a part of.”

Recently the Royal College of Physicians produced a 200 page report on smoking and e-cigarettes. It concluded that encouraging more smokers to quit tobacco for smokeless products such as e-cigarettes could save many lives in the UK each year. (We won’t say how many as it is one of the questions below.) In fact all of this issue’s questions have come from the RCP report so try the quiz yourself and see how you get on.

The recent report on vaping from the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) was called:

a - Nicotine without smoke: Tobacco harm reduction b - No smoke without fire: Tobacco causes serious harm c - Tobacco free nicotine: The future is vaping d - Liquid nicotine systems: The smoke-free alternative

2. The Royal College of Physicians:

• sets standards of medical practice and promotes clinical excellence

• provides physicians in over 30 medical specialties with education, training and support throughout their careers

• advises and works with government, patients, allied healthcare professionals and the public to improve health and healthcare

• is also an independent charity.

a - (i) and (ii) only b - (i) (ii) and (iii) only c - (i) and (iii) only d - (i) (ii) (iii) and (iv)

3. For more than 50 years the Royal College of Physicians has been campaigning for:

a - the right for people to smoke to be acknowledged while pointing out the risks of choosing to do so. b - smoking to be banned and for those caught smoking to receive mandatory prison sentences. c - smoking to be banned during the week but allowed at weekends as it is a mainly social activity. d - more and better policies and services to prevent people from taking up smoking, and help existing smokers to quit.

4. According to the RCP “The rapid growth in use of e-cigarettes by smokers since 2007 demonstrates that: a - “e-cigarettes are just as addictive as cigarettes and cause more long-term harm than smoking.”

b - “smokers are getting increasingly addicted to nicotine and use e-cigarettes as a means of topping up their nicotine levels throughout the day.”

c - “people will always crave nicotine so it is fighting a losing battle by trying to stop them - therefore both smoking traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes should be encouraged.” d - “many smokers want reduced-harm products, and it is also clear that many smokers have succeeded in quitting simply by substituting electronic for tobacco cigarettes.”

5. The RCP report, Harm reduction in nicotine addiction, suggested that making effective, affordable, socially acceptable, low-hazard nicotine products available to smokers as a market alternative to tobacco could generate significant health gains, by allowing smokers to stop smoking tobacco, without having to stop using the nicotine to which they are addicted.

NUCLEAR VAPOURS celebrate first birthday

The vaping industry is full of passionate ambassadors who fly the flag for vaping.

Nuclear Vapours is one such vaping store which continues to champion vaping in Bristol and beyond. Emma Gamlin and partner Coil Monkey Kev are the entrepreneurial couple who founded the company and continue to do great things for the vaping community. They organised a Nuclear Meltdown Vape Meet which was a massive success, regularly donate to charity, and recently celebrated their first birthday, which was the icing on the cake. Vapouround caught up with the powerhouse duo; here is what they had to say about the vaping industry, the importance of vape meets, and exciting plans for the future.

VAPOUROUND: Congratulations on celebrating your first birthday! We hope there was plenty of vape and cake?

EM: Our first birthday was fantastic, we had offers and competitions running, including one of our famous mega raffles! Loads of our locals and regulars came to congratulate us and of course the #nuclearfam was in full attendance! They have been awesome over this past year – they always lend their full support to everything we do, and help

out wherever they are needed. We’d like to say a personal thanks to Nigel, Greg, Dean, Rob, Kim, Shaun, Liv, Kieran, George & Russ. And, yes –there was cake! We had free coffee and cupcakes on our opening day, so we thought it would be a nice idea to do the same again for our birthday.

VM: What was the reasoning behind opening Nuclear Vapours?

KEV: The idea came about after we had been vaping for a while. It was the only reason we managed to quit smoking, and once we realised how effective it was, we began helping friends and family with choosing the correct devices and liquids for them. At the same time we were also becoming disheartened with our local shops. We saw so many instances of bad advice and unnecessary upselling, we just realised we could do better. When the perfect shop became available, we just went for it!

VM: Why do you think Nuclear Vapours is a big hit with the locals and vapers from far and wide? What’s the magic formula which ensures Nuclear Vapours continues to grow in popularity?

KEV: Customer service has a LOT to do with it. This is something that we always get great comments about, and

it’s mentioned in most of our online reviews. Giving honest advice rather than just trying to “sell, sell, sell” is really appreciated by customers. We’re happy that people can walk out of the door with a device that will work for them, instead of the most expensive item in the shop.

VM: Nuclear Vapours is constantly expanding its range, which is just one of the reasons why your store is so popular. What are your bestsellers?

KEV: We are always looking for new ranges to add to our popular lines. We thoroughly test any new liquids on a wide range of people to ensure we get the best feedback possible. Bestsellers include Illpluminati, Inspector 11 Vapes, Twelve Vapor and 7 Sins Vape Co.

EM: Illpluminati have been on our shelves from day one. They are highly selective and only pick one shop per city to carry the line – so the fact that they picked us for Bristol – before we had even opened – was huge for us.

It’s fantastic for us to be able to support local manufacturers and Keith (Inspector 11) and Chris (7 Sins) have since become great friends.

VM: How was your first ever Nuclear Vapours Meltdown gig?

EM: It was amazing, so much hard work went into organising everything and we

were really happy that it went as well as it did. We had a huge amount of support from Illpluminati, 9 South Vapes and UK/USA E-liquids, who are the sponsors of the main competitions.

We also had special appearances from some of the Vgod trick team, 7 Sins Vape Co, Inspector 11 Vapes and, of course, Vapouround!

KEV: We would like to thank everyone who made the night special for us. Andrew at Starlight Whiting did an amazing job with the lasers and lighting effects. Thanks to Slammermods for the custom Noisy Cricket in the big raffle, Rob Dawe Fowler for the stunning photos, and Ray at Patchway Sports and Social Club for providing the venue and all his help on the night. Of course this wouldn’t have been possible without #nuclearfam, so a massive THANK YOU for helping us set everything up.

VM: Do you recall your first customer?

BOTH: We remember our first customer well, and even what he bought! His name is Kieran, he came in and bought a bottle of Cottontail Cream by Lost Art Liquids, and stayed for the free coffee and cake. He is now a full time member of the #nuclearfam

VM: Nuclear Vapours has been described as being a place which has real community spirit; how did you achieve this and how do you foster good client relations?

BOTH: Superb customer service and inclusivity is key to maintaining great relationships. We treat everyone the same, whether they are on a pen style device, mechanical mod, starter or cloud chaser.

VM: How do you want a Nuclear Vapours customer to feel when they step into your store?

BOTH: Comfortable! It’s important that a customer doesn’t feel pressured to buy anything, and that they have honest advice and the time to make the right decision for them.

EM: It was especially important to me that we made Nuclear Vapours a place where women could come in and feel comfortable. One of my main issues when I went to vape shops was being ignored in favour of Kev, or talked down to. That never happens here, and I think that shows in our huge female customer base.

VM: How did your Thursday night Vape Meets come about?

EM: A chilled out place where you can meet and chat to like-minded

people was what we wanted to create. We have made some great friends through our vape nights, and it’s how the #nuclearfam was born. Vape Meet attendees are a diverse bunch with ages ranging from 19 years to 45 years. Everyone is made to feel welcome, and a space is made for them on the sofa.

KEV: Our vape nights are loads of fun! A lot of the time it’s just general chat and having a laugh, with people doing tricks. Sometimes we have competitions running. And occasionally we break the projector and games console out and have a game or movie night.

VM: What does the future hold for Nuclear Vapours in the next 5 years? Any exciting plans we need to be made aware of?

KEV: We are always expanding our ranges, and this will continue. We’d love another shop at some point

soon. And – yes, there will be another Nuclear Meltdown!

EM: We would also like to say a massive thanks to Ria, Paul and everyone at Vapouround. You guys have supported us since the beginning, and we’ve been lucky enough to feature in several issues. It is mutual support like this that makes our industry great, and it’s what will help us through these uncertain times of TPD regulations, so thank you. We’ve had an incredible first year, and here’s to many more!

A - Z OF VAPING

Part Five

Like every niche group, the vaping community has its own set ofterms and slang which may be confusing to those new to vaping and totally unintelligible to those outside the community.

Over the next few issues Vapouround Magazine will take a look at some of the more popular, and not so popular, terms relatedat some of the more popular, and not so popular, terms related to vaping and e-cigarettes.

So lets continue where we left off with our next batch of vaping-related words and phrases.

UUnprotected Battery – Any lithium based battery that has no protection for the overcharging or other situations that can cause thermal runaway.

USB Charger – An e-cigarette battery charger that lets you charge by connecting the battery to your computer’s USB port. This is a very useful and popular way of charging e-cigarettes. When it comes to charging not all devises are the same. While many allow USB charging there are some devices which have a USB connection for software updates only and users must remove the batteries from the device before charging them. This means that you cannot simply assume that a device will allow USB charging just because it is fitted with a USB port.

by Paul Curtis | Zeus Juice UK Ltd

At the end of 2012, my wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I quit work to help her through the Chemotherapy and look after our younger children. Life was tough, but we managed. After the Chemo and Radiotherapy we both decided to quit smoking so neither of us would have to endure the treatment again.

We tried the patches, gum and sprays provided by the NHS but none were working. I scoured the web looking for other methods where i stumbled upon ecigarettes and thought we’d give a go, neither of us have touched a cigarette since.

Unemployed and looking after my family, we could not afford the more expensive juices, buying cheap juice online, whilst still not smoking it was hard to find a flavour either of us liked so I began researching how to mix my own flavours, started pretty basic but after a while I found one or two combinations that worked. Thankfully my wife’s cancer went into remission and we were no longer smokers but vapers.

I bought lots of different flavourings in 10ml bottles and tried them all one by one finding more and more combinations that worked well together, over time my number of flavourings and combinations grew. Working with friends as testers I developed more depth to flavours, some of our combinations have over 13 flavours combined to create one. Giving some juice to a few friends they posted comments on Facebook, soon others contacted me wanting to get some juice which is where

I thought I should set up a company. Growing up, I have always been a fan of films like ‘Clash of the Titans’, Sinbad and Jason and the Argonauts, Greek mythology had always interested me. So when i was trying to think of a name for a company ‘Zeus’ seemed the obvious choice, and Zeus Juice had a nice ring to it.

Zeus Juice was born. Word had spread, soon I was contacted by the owner of Evolution Vaping, James Burr, he asked me if i was interested in selling my juice to his shop, I couldn’t believe things had grown so quickly.

I love vaping, I love the customers, the whole community is awesome.

If someone has said to me 2 years ago we would be where we are now I would have laughed.

Before you know it, moved into a unit, enlisted help, bought a clean room, hired more help, stocked more shops, it has all been moving so quickly, we are now at a point where we have a 2nd larger unit, machinery, automated machinery being built as we speak, more clean rooms and staff being employed and we currently stock over 80 shops in the UK and growing. We will be fully TPD compliant when it comes into force. We have always tried to please everybody, facebook, and now

the shops, we process shop orders within 24-48 hours and most are shipped same day using UPS which means shops can be stocked up rapidly when their sales exceeds their expectations. Until recently when we appeared at the Vape Expo at the NEC, we had never advertised, never approached any shop to stock and never appeared at any shows, everything that has been built has been by word of mouth.

Our followers are loyal, facebook has been awesome. People actually call me ‘Zeus’ which I must admit I love, but my feet are planted firmly on the ground.

I love vaping, I love the customers, the whole community is awesome. If someone has said to me 2 years ago we would be where we are now I would have laughed.

Flavour list has grown to 25 flavours currently, all available in 50/50 ratio (for normal tanks) in 0mg, 3mg, 6mg, 12mg and 18mg. And in High VG for sub tanks in 0mg, 3mg and 6mg. With more being developed. We now have a great bunch of employees who are loyal, honest and hard working and yes I do look after them. All vape and I am pleased to say that we all vape Zeus Juice, not because they are told to but because they like to. I want to continue to grow this business to be as big as possible, I love my Job and wouldn’t trade it for any other. We will conquer the UK market and then the world mwuhahaha! Just kidding but seriously Vaping is here to stay and I want to be a part of it.

Introducing

Four flavours, four distinct profiles, four taste experiences, four new ways to discover Europe’s original, independent vaping brand - GAMUCCI.

Since 2007, Gamucci has been at the forefront of the industry we all love in troducing a number of worlds first along the way, and we have utilised all of our experience to deliver our first collection of blended e-liquids crafted with a priority on pushing the limits of taste combina tions, resulting in four astonishing flavour profiles.

INTRODUCING GAMUCCI BLENDS

#1 Soft Kiss – Light fluffy meringue feathers the taste buds whilst sharp, sweet notes of fresh green apple give life

to a blend that is deliciously offset with a hint of aromatic vanilla; delivering a mouth-wateringly decadent vapour.

#2 Rainbow Colours – Taking inspi ration from the tastes of tropical, this incredibly versatile flavour is sure to both blow away the holiday blues and compliment the moments to remember. Extraordinarily fresh, zingy tropical fruits are softened with a hint of rose in a unique blend.

#3 Inner City – The day’s dust has settled and the city comes to life at night! Bursting with blueberry and the punchy aniseed notes of absinthe, we’ve added an undertone of icy mint to deliver an extraordinary flavour amplified by our own secret twist.

#4 G-Frost – Experience the freshness and embrace your curiosity... Naturally super sweet pink grapefruit will draw you in until a blast of icy mint frost delivers vapour that is supremely refreshing and simply unmissable.

Accessibility, affordability and premium quality, are consistent principles central to the Gamucci brand and the Gamucci Blends collection is no different. Each fla vour in our Blends range is the result of a desire to develop e-liquids that deliver a fundamentally unique and individual vaping experience. Utilising the highest quality ingredients with an emphasis on harmonising flavours that awaken and excite the senses, Blends is our entry into the premium e-liquid market – and we are delighted to share them with you! The flavours of Gamucci Blends are entirely handcrafted in an ISO class-7 clean room here in London, and we have developed these flavours in a 70% VG composition, delivered pre-steeped and immediately exquisite.

Discover your new All-Day-Vape @ www.GAMUCCI.com

Gamucci Blends are available in Nicotine strengths: 0MG - 3MG - 6MG - 12MG (70 VG: 30 PG) facebook.com/Gamucci | twitter.com/ gamuccicig

Q&A

Hi Dwane, thank you for your time! Tell us a little about yourself. I was born and raised in Southern California. I still live in So Cal close to the Liquid EFX headquarters. My wife of 11 years also works for Liquid EFX and we have two children, a 6 year old boy and 4 year old girl.

How did you get into vaping? It was a combination of two things; I am seasoned in the chemical blending industry and have created several popular animal health care products. Most of our products contained propylene glycol and this drew my attention to the industry. Also, both of my grandmothers passed away from lung cancer from smoking cigarettes.

I took it upon myself to research the benefits of vaping versus smoking and I was compelled to share this alternative with as big an audience I could find.

What is the ethos behind Liquid EFX? We aim to supply the highest quality e-liquid in the industry, set trends and provide incredible customer service to every shop owner, consumer and distributor. We want Liquid EFX to be a trusted and established name in the industry.

We hear you’re scheduled for an exciting European tour. Can you tell us more about that please? How did it come about? Which stops will you be making? Which is the place you’re most looking forward to visiting?

It’s really exciting! We are bringing some of the top vape tricksters from the U.S. and hitting 7 major cities over the course of 12 days. We’re hosting trick competitions and exhibitions at popular vape shops. We are working in collaboration with another U.S. based company, Five Star Juice. Together, we are launching a new flavour line this tour called Liquid Stars (which is Liquid EFX meets Five Star). It’s impossible to pick one stop – I’m looking forward to the entire thing! The tour starts August 10th in Dublin and we’ll make our way to Belfast, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham, and finish up in London.

Where can we get more information about this European tour? Can anyone pop along? Anyone will be welcome and you can reach out to us via the contact us section on our website, LiquidEFXvape.com Make sure to follow Liquid EFX on our IG and Facebook pages @LiquidEFXvape. We will be sure to post more information closer to the event.

How do you want vapers to feel when they’re vaping your e-liquids?

Simple - I want every vaper to feel excited they have purchased an incredible flavour and feel safe knowing Liquid EFX operates under the highest standards in the industry.

How long does it take to create a Liquid EFX e-liquid?

About 3 to 4 months and literally dozens if not 100 plus variations in the same flavour so we get it exactly right. We then like to beta test it with shops and distribution chain networks to ensure we have a winner.

Once shops, distributors and consumers purchase our juice, they come back - not just for the juice alone, but because we follow up, genuinely care and truly believe that vaping creates community.

Vapouround meets Dwane Morrison, CEO of Liquid EFX

LIQUID EFX

You have some great names for e-liquids (Bender and Pink Squeeze to name just a few). How do you think of these names? Do you have a muse, or someone who inspires you?

Haha! I don’t know about a muse, but the team does get a kick out of brainstorming. We have hilarious email chains of ideas, and usually have to weed through the ridiculous and inappropriate.

We realise this is probably like asking you who is your favourite child, but... what is your favourite e-liquid?

In our line, I was always loyal to “Lucky Charm”, but I have to admit, our new “Fried Cream Cakes” has become my all day vape. Industry wide, I’m really enjoying Sub Ohm Innovations (SOI’s) new flavours – they’re incredible.

How would you describe the vaping industry in the US?

Both certain and uncertain. Certain in the fact that the industry isn’t going to disappear. My uncertainties lie in the heavy overreach by the Food and Drug Administration and “big tobacco”, which sadly is tied heavily with our government. We have quite a battle ahead of us, but we are armed with knowledge, commitment and heart. I am confident the industry can pull together and overcome this injustice.

What do you think Liquid EFX brings to the industry (apart from the obvious of tasty flavours, great customer service etc.)?

The feeling of family. Once shops, distributors and consumers purchase our juice, they come back - not just for the juice alone, but because we follow up, genuinely care and truly believe that vaping creates community.

Where do you see yourself and Liquid EFX in five years?

As one of the top vape companies in the world by size and presence. We have been in business for a little over a year, and I feel we have taken great strides in that direction.

Can you give Vapouround readers a heads up on any exciting plans you have this year?

You will be seeing new flavours coming your way over the next couple months and some creative packaging for the TPD compliance requirements in the EU.

What advice would you give to someone who is looking into vaping as a means to stop smoking?

Look at the numbers. The real evidence rests in the millions of people that have died from smoking. Those aren’t just numbers, those are humans!

Every single person that opts for vaping over smoking is a win.

THE SUB OHM TANK REVOLUTION

by Kurt Sonderegger | Cafe Racer Vape

With the popularity of Rebuildable Dripper Atomizer (RDAs) and the birth of the early Rebuildable Atomizers (RBAs) that allow people to build custom coils well into the Sub-Ohm realm, it was pretty clear that some company would take this concept and apply it to a tank with a pre-made disposable coil that was capable of delivering sub ohm performance. Eventually the engineers at some of the big vape hardware companies in China caught on and got to work to replicate the experience of using an rebuildable atomizer (RBA) without the hassle and engineering know how of building your own coils. In 2014, Aspire released it's newest tank called the Atlantis. The Atlantis was the first Sub Ohm tank to hit the market with premade coils.

As a result, Sub Ohm tanks ushered in a new era in vaping where it doesn’t take a lot of experience to reach high performance with much more vapor production and much better flavor delivery for e-liquids.

Sub Ohm tanks with pre-made coils have quickly established themselves as the industry’s hottest hardware segment, with companies like Aspire, Kanger,

Joyetech and Smok and Herakles by Sense ( to mention just a few) all releasing dozens of new models over the last few months.

All of these represent an exponential leap forward in terms of vapor production and flavor, delivering an experience that has historically been the exclusive purview of folks with ohm readers and spools of wire. Technologically speaking, these new tanks aren’t doing anything mind-blowing — they’re essentially taking what RDAs and RBAs have been doing for years and putting it on a production line.

So What does this All Mean for Vapers and the Industry?

Vapor Production

Sub Ohm vaping delivers much more vapor. Vapor production is a key component for a satisfying vape experience. If you’re a smoker and try vaping for the first time, you would want to experience a satisfying hit (ie throat hit) that you can feel as well as get some nice flavor. Many of the early e-cigs failed to delivery much vapor and required a lot of patience and persistence to get a decent draw, never mind replacing the experience and ritual

that smokers were looking for.

Since most of the early rebuildable atomizers required quite a lot of skill to make - this wasn’t a good option for a newbie looking to switch from smoking to vaping. They typically would buy a cig-alike at a convenience store or if they were well informed - might actually seek out a vape shop to see what was available in the higher end models. The early open tank vaporizers that used cartomizers were a big leap forward from the early cig-alikes, but still didn’t deliver an experience anything near what the more advanced RDA’s could.

Enter the new Sub Ohm tanks with premade coils - and you have a real game changer. Now pretty much anyone with a few dollars in their pocket can walk into a Vape Shop and get an advanced sub ohm tank and battery powerful enough to safely power the coil and walk out with a high performance device that delivers heaps of vapor and lots of flavor.

Does Sub Ohm Vaping Deliver Better Flavor?

Definitely! You have access to much higher concentration of vapor and the extra power being used unlocks many of the flavor subtleties that you wouldn’t

notice if you weren’t using a Sub Ohm coil. The flavor transfer is much more intense. A good e-Liquid tastes amazing at higher wattage. This has helped push the e-Liquid industry to work on more complex flavors that deliver an amazing range of flavors. It’s become an art form to work on not only the flavors but how those flavors mix and even the order that you experience them i.e. Cafe Racer's Peach Guzzi flavor starts off with the Peach, then you get some sweet notes from the Blueberry followed by the rich taste of Vanilla Custard - all on the inhale. On the exhale you pick up a nice refreshing hint of Green Tea. This was by design and this experience would not be possible without a more powerful (sub ohm) build.

Dropping Levels of Nicotine: 3MG is the new norm! Many sub ohm vapers drop their nicotine level quite low as soon as they enter the Sub Ohm realm to avoid the harsh taste that nicotine delivers. Simply put, the less nicotine you use, the better your liquid will taste, especially with Sub Ohm coil performance. There is also a lot more

volume of vapor being delivered with a sub ohm coil, so more nicotine is consumed, even though the percentage is less. The most popular Nicotine level in Cafe Racer’s e-Liquid line up is 3MG - the lowest offered! This is a trend that we are hearing from almost every other e-Liquid manufacturer and all of our Vape Shop retail partners. Some e-Liquid companies are now offering 1.5MG - something unheard of just 2 years ago when the typical nicotine level for your average (non-sub ohm) vaper was between 12MG and 24MG.

“3MG IS THE NEW NORM! MANY SUB OHM VAPERS DROP THEIR NICOTINE LEVEL QUITE LOW AS SOON AS THEY ENTER THE SUB OHM REALM TO AVOID THE HARSH TASTE THAT NICOTINE DELIVERS.”

Intellectually Theorizing Smoking Tobacco vs. Vaping Nicotine

Part 2

Words & Photos by Tony Ottomanelli II

The ironic aspect of this is that human beings essentially invite and embrace these risks, people don’t refuse the proven evidence that cigarettes and many other tobacco products will undoubtedly become the reason for your own death. So, people continue smoking. We, as humans, smoke not because it COULD kill us, yet people fully comprehend that smoking WILL indefinitely kill us and still choose to indulge in this act. I would know, I was a smoker for 15 stinky years of bad breath and a decline of endurance, logic and hope. There is nothing absolute when living among others within an existence where there is an overall consensus about how we are literally trying to be successful, productive members of a socially constructed version of reality. This reality is tainted with poisonous products enticing our participation. Simultaneously, we are living in a world where our understanding and knowing of where, when, how and what will make up the totality of our own deaths and departures from this physical world we all occupy along with the societies we create are completely unbeknownst to us.

We know that the only thing that is absolutely certain in life is the often naturally feared, though in some cases more so an accepted exception, fearless rather than fearful when reflecting on the overall concept of death - the only certainty we are all aware of is that we

will all eventually cease to exist on earth. That is per say, to suggest some people my fully understand they will one day cease to exist and are entirely accepting of that fact.

While, by the same token, perhaps on the other hand, many surely desire nothing more than to live for eternity, thus they may not understand the impossibility of escaping death throughout their time here on earth. I must admit, it does seem outrageous to suggest there are some individuals living

on this planet we all share who literally don’t comprehend the unavoidability of their own mortality, then again, this world we share is often times outrageous in itself.

This is a planet we all share, but of course the idea of sharing is only taken so far, to a certain extent. Sharing is caring - right? Well, that’s what I’ve heard millions of times - and of course everyone comprehends that if you share, then you most likely indeed also careyet who we choose to share with

“in our economy, the richest 1% own half of our economic system’s wealth, so would you say that it is an accurate portrayal of caring and choosing to share from the ability to care? With such a disparity in monetary gains, is this a reflection of equal sharing?”

is far more important than the altruistic expression of actually sharing - it depends on many complicated factors, while these very factors do not, by any means, need to be complicated at all, in any way.

However, those who are chosen for others to share with typically depends on mainly the calculation of an individual’s/ group’s expression of how much obedience and conformity they adhere to - ask someone living on the streets with nowhere to sleep but the cosy city gutter of their fellow citizens’ filth, if they feel like enough people are expressing how much they truly care by the quality of their sharing abilities? One can only theorize how they’ll respond, yet I’m sure many would not be too grateful. However, sociologically theorizing and reflecting, we must fully understand and then eventually try to change how badly the sharing system is determined by the practices of our current economic status - in which our capitalist culture consists of a small percentage of the wealthiest people owning most of the resources that many other more desperate people may need to survive. The wealthiest are the healthiest because so many of the wealthy share amongst the other wealthiest others.

Therefore, in our economy, the richest 1% own half of our economic system’s wealth, so would you say that it is an accurate portrayal of caring and choosing to share from the ability to care? With such a disparity in monetary gains, is this a reflection of equal sharing?

Oh wait, here comes the argument that the man sleeping in the gutter could simply get a job and hopelessly wait for all those helpful leftovers from that trickle-down economics that some believe to be so advantageous. In fact,

the wealthiest will attempt to persuade the populace that this is the only way for Americans to function properly. Sharing is indeed caring. However, we must ask ourselves, what exactly does our capitalist culture tend to care about more so than anything else? I would say the answer is...money, more money, and the most money is what all capitalists economies among the hegemonic nations of the world seem to care for

most and you can bet on it that no one is sharing with those who tend to often disagree with the concept that money is to be worshiped.

Therefore, in correlation to our innovative, and power-gaining Vaping movement is unlike any one “social cause” we have witnessed in the past, even in the technologically advanced 21st Century. Vapers tend to share with one another quite a bit. This is because

vapers are all one in the same. We care. Vapers care about one another as well as many others. For example, the vapers also tend to share with others who do not vape. As vapers, we surely donate much time, effort and money to vaping advocacy and to the education of vaping. In regards to this, countless vapers donate so much more, whether in the form of charitable contributions or goodhearted-intentions, vapers certainly share whatever they can spare to issues

or organizations outside of their own vape-lifestyle. Many media outlets and advocacy organizations have already proven this many times by donating to war veterans and active-duty servicemen and women.

This is the first genuinely new way of helping people stop smoking that has come along in decades,” said John Britton, director of the U.K. Center for Tobacco and Alcohol Studies at the University of Nottingham, who led the committee that produced the report. E-cigarettes, he said, “have the potential to help half or more of all smokers get off cigarettes. That’s a huge health benefit, bigger than just about any medical intervention” (http://mobile.nytimes. com/2016/04/28/health/e-cigarettesvaping-quitting-smoking-royal-collegeof-physicians.html?_r=0&referer=https:// www.google.com/).

In hindsight, the major differences between smoking tobacco and Vaping nicotine become much more clear, but for those who still may have doubts, let’s sum it up by quoting yet another fantastic

article.”Cigarettes do not contain the tar, carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, and thousands of other chemical compounds found in tobacco products, and for those trying to wean themselves from a nicotine habit, it is a potential life safer”

The differences between Smoking tobacco and Vaping nicotine are vast, especially the testimonials of Vapers when compared to the horror stories smokers tend to tell us about. For instance, in a Huffington Post article written by former-smoker-turned-Vaper, James di Fiore.

“I come from a long line of smokers on both sides of my family. When I grew up it wasn’t uncommon for parents to smoke in the house, on long car rides and, of course, in restaurants. Cigarettes were omnipresent, and by the time I was 15 years old I was a smoker myself, happily inhaling smoke into a pair of lungs that had been exposed to second-hand smoke since childhood” (Fiore 2016).

James di Fiore, writes further, “For 24 years I was a smoker. That’s nearly a quarter century of inhaling smoke into lungs that are probably black by now. But I loved it. I’d start the day with a smoke and a coffee, and I’d have that last cigarette at the end of my day” (Fiore 2016).

Fiore’s testimonial in his writing concludes as he recalls, “When my partner and I were expecting our firstborn, I finally made the decision that I was ready to stop smoking. I had tried a few different strategies by this point but nothing did the trick. I was still a smoker when my son arrived, and remained one until he was a year old. I just couldn’t find the will power. And then, finally, I found something that helped me quit for good. No more need for cigarettes with my coffee, or that last smoke at the end of the day” (Fiore 2016).

Overall, I can’t even begin to explain how many times I’ve heard such riveting stories from Vapers all around the U.S., all I can tell you is that there are so many lives being changed in the most positive way. So, if you’re still a smoker, please take a chance with Vaping either tomorrow or later today. Whenever I see a smoker, I don’t turn away, I think of them as s future fellow Vaper, I hope you understand what I ultimately mean to say. Today is the day to choose Vaping as right side because all of us Vapers wish for you to come and play. Who knows? You may just be delighted to stay.
