It's time to open the gates! Let the real fun begin! Was such a pleasure this year opening the gates and the orderly (and very fast) entry into the venue!

The countdown is done and Hi Ho @Silver gives the thumbs up and all clear to security and the gates open!

Outstanding photos and descriptions @Rob Fisher !
Thanks for sharing the start of the story
And thank you for the kind words in the one post.

We going to see some of the exhibitors now...
Coming up...
 
Walking in to the arena, the first stand you see facing you as you enter is none other than Vape Republic

And the backstory here is that @Vape Republic himself could not be there so he got his good friend @Jengz to man and manage the stand for the event. Wow, @Jengz you did an amazing job! Well done sir!

And that stand was superb! The lit up backwall was so striking. Even @Alex remarked to me how visually striking it was. Well done guys.

Well done @Jengz !

Clean, professional stand. Slick and classy. That floor took a while to get in! Lovely.

The man himself, founder and chief - @Richio
This man has built a superb business in a relatively short space of time - and he remains humble and a true gentleman always. So proud of you @Richio !

I wonder what was going on in this photo? I suppose she was pointing at some PG and VG?

Their stand was always busy and loads of people took part in it.

Thanks for all your support and dedication over the years Mike @Vapington and for exhibiting again this year! It's always super to have team NCV at VapeCon.
 
Next is Steam Masters, the vaping distributor from KZN

The guys from Sir Vape decided this year to focus on their distribution business Steam Masters and not Sir Vape itself.

This must have been very early in the morning, all ready for the opening...

1_D1C1_DSCF6657LR.JPG

And here are some of the great new juices that were being featured!

And here is vaping retailer, Vaperite

Also must have been very early in the morning while folk were getting ready. Effective stand with lots of counter space!

Thanks to Barry and the @Vaperite South Africa team for your support again this year. Was great to see you guys there and would have liked to have spent a bit more time with you - but it went by in a flash ;-)
