As some of you may already know @Gizmo, @HappyCamper and I are currently in Shenzhen to attend IECIE which is the biggest Vape expo in the world currently. With 1500 exhibitors this is sure to be a good one.

We have been here 2 days so far and we can tell you this city is incredible.

Yesterday we spent the day with our good friend who was one of the first suppliers we ever dealt with when we started Vape King, he showed us some sites and helped us get settled in to this remarkable city.

We spent the day with Vaporesso today visiting one of their 8 facilities around China and we were blown away, we have a ton more factory visits lined up...

This is a machine that tests how many times a button can be pressed before it breaks, they have a ton of these different tests on their devices. They even have weather simulators to test how devices act in different weather and devices that vape to test the coils a machine that drops the devices numerous times to test their wear and many more tests, I was completely blown away by the facilities

We saw their entire facility but won't be posting all the photos because of pending designs and patents.

We will keep you all updated on this thread with factory visits and more on IECIE as we go along.

For all the techies out there we also visited the largest electronics market in Shenzhen today and we bumped into someone you may know, Linus from Linus tech tips which was pretty cool.

This market is 10 stories high and filled with everything electronic you could possibly think of from components to electric bicycles and more... Its amazing

Awesome you meeting Linus @Gizmo

I like his videos on YouTube. Great pictures and I'm a little jealous......lol
 
A photo with Linus :eek::pesas::borra2:that's too cool.
 
Today's adventures included visiting Ave 40 and being treated to a traditional Chinese breakfast, seeing some cool new products and then being taken to a shopping district by our good friend.

Before the shopping though we had to catch a subway to catch up to a taxi which I left my phone in accidentally, an hours subway ride just to meet him...

Once we got to the shopping district we got to experience eating Chinese KFC and learn our bargaining skills.

So jealous ... and missing China (though I've never been to Shenzhen) particularly the food - and Chinese really know how to entertain! When I see that round table laden with food, and more dishes being brought all the time, I go weak at the knees!

This Expo is MASSIVE!! Crikey!!!!! 1,500 brands?? Never knew there were that many. WOW enjoy the unbelievable experience @Stroodlepuff.
 
It's 00:46 here in Shenzhen and we only just got home. Spent the whole day at the expo meeting tons of people and seeing so many cool new products. We even bumped into some familiar South African faces including 2 customers and Barry from Vaperite.



I don't even know where to begin or how to describe this show, it is completely electric and its really nice to attend one of these as a consumer for a change :)

We went to dinner with one of our oldest suppliers after the show and then we went clubbing with the friends we have spent most of our trip with... When in Rome I guess

Day 2 of the expo and day 5 in Shenzhen. Today was mainly focused on meeting up with a few of our older suppliers and some new suppliers who we have chatted to but not ordered from. We spent the day properly walking the halls and looking for new exciting products.

We had a great catch up with Siner from Geekvape who some of you may remember was at VapeCon last year, @Silver he sends his regards.

We bought some seriously sick stock that we cannot wait to get back to South Africa to offer you, pre-release products that are only launching once we get back

Also was glad to see South African brands being represented in the form of Twisp liquids at one of the stands...

Day 3 and the final day of the expo. It was super quiet today which was great for us. Got to really view stand by stand and make sure we never missed anything, today was a day of free samples and T-shirts galore given to us by exhibitors.

Afterwards we went to a place called seaworld which is oddly enough not an aquarium but a waterfront type setup filled with bars and restaurants run by expats. This was recommended to us by a South African guy living and working in China who was working one of the booths.

Have to wear tekkies silver, so much walking we did 15000 steps on day one and even more on day 2... I swear if I haven't lost at least 2kgs after this trip I'm going to be real mad

Were you guys there at the store with the dude who was on the table? The video made it to facebook. Can you shed some light on that story? :-D
