VapeCon 2018 - the story in pictures

Seen that when the pic was posted...Im a vaper bro I scan mods
 
Right, let's move on

The next stand was a joint one of several great vendors. Paulies (now Cloud Flavour Labs), Orion, Hashtag Vapes (the distributor), GBOM Vapes and The Coil Company.

Once again, an epic stand. Very clean and professional. Lovely. This must have been very early in the morning. There's @Paulie with the white cap and I think that is @BigGuy facing away ;-)

To @Paulie and @Michael and to @Jaz and team from Hashtag Vapes - thanks for your ongoing support, encouragement and spirit. You guys rock and we appreciate it!

Their stand was certainly unique with the brick finish and the corrugated roof. It looked great! This was early in the morning.

Thanks for all the support over the years @KieranD ! Your stand looked fabulous and we appreciate all the effort.
 
And now for established local juicemaker Mr Hardwick's

Their stand was great and very impactful with a lit up backwall. Lots of counter space all around. Here's @method1 chatting to @Rob Fisher . I wonder what they were discussing at that point ;-)

It must have been a good conversation - all smiles and a shake of hands ;-)

@Rob Fisher having some nice chill time with founder and chief Benji @Oupa . I'm sure they were discussing the Red Pill pipeline to Durban ;-)

This was early in the morning, getting ready... Twisp had a lovely stand with curved backwalls, lots of colour and good lighting. Very professional and impactful.

1_D1C1_DSCF6745LR.JPG

More getting ready and final preparations. That's @HPBotha on the right, Juan @Twisp in the middle and @Mic Lazzari on the left. I wonder what that was that @HPBotha was holding and trying to fix, hehe...

A classic, the man himself - @HPBotha - long time forumite !

1_D1C1_DSCF7005LR.JPG

Here's @Rob Fisher on the microphone. Chatting to HP, with @Mic Lazzari on the left. I wonder what they were talking about. But I assume @Rob Fisher was keen to find out about any new products on the horizon.

The next stand was a long one and a collaboration between four vaping vendors:

JOOSE-E-LIQZ - established local juicemaker - @Naeemhoosen
J&J's Emporium - established retailer - @wazarmoto
As well as Ace of Vapes (@Mida Khan) and My Vapes

Very neat professional looking layout. Lots of counter space with each vendor marked above and on the counter front. This was early in the morning, doing final preparations. All looking good. That's @Naeemhoosen in the front pointing his finger ;-) Next to that is the J&J's Emporium portion of the stand.
