ECIGSSA Comp 3 - What are you looking forward to at VapeCon 2016 - (Fog Machine & J&J's Emporium)
- Thread starter shaunnadan
- Start date
U know that feeling when you were still a wee little piss gat and u were promised that epic present for your birthday. As your birthday got closer and closer you couldn’t sleep, eat and u were literally bouncing off the walls with excitement…well that about sums up what I have been going through since seeing the notice of Vapecon.
I have been a member of many a forum, from PC modding, tech forums, pc gaming, reef aquariums, fresh water aquariums and and and…the one thing that I noticed though, is that none of them have a community that even comes close to that of ecig…the guys and girls on the forum are more than willing to help and more often than not go that extra mile to help out a fellow vaper be it with advice, tips or even a demo of how to get something right if you are struggling…I mean shit…I chatted to a guy not too long ago that lived +- 50ks away from me and he drove all the way through to drop off a sample of his diy juice and have a vape and share diy tips….that feeling of comradery is second to none…and I have made some good friends in the process…
If I had to choose one thing that I was looking forward to at vapecon, that feeling would be it…I mean yes the clouds, the flavor, the vape porn would be awesome to see, but that feeling and experience of being with a group of people that share not only your interest but your passion and that get as excited about a little piece of wire as you do is really what vapecon is all about for me…
Sadly I am still in the process of scrounging for a some cents to make the trip…the vape budget is shot to shit with the approach of my anniversary so I am currently sofa diving for those coins hidden between the cushions lol…

Looking forward to good deals on new vape gear, great advice from the loads of knowledgeable people in attendance as well as meeting the greats of the south african vape scene.
Reading through all of these excellent posts I am getting more and more excited about VapeCon!!!!
Keep it coming guys
Keep it coming guys
I am looking forward to what our vendors will have to offer by the time vapecon arrives and how they will make their pricing enticing for future vapecons to come! Also looking forward to finding and speaking to like-minded people about vape-related stuff. And definitely can't wait until the giveaways! Looking forward to my first Vapecon!
I am most looking forward to Admin saying it was only a joke and it is actually being held in Cape Town
Wish i could say the most that i would look for to at vapcon is meeting like minded people that understand and appreciate what it took and is to be a vaper from that first simple mod to building your own unite and diy juice. From telling stories of wen you took up stinkies and leaving it behind after having your first vape experience. From getting advice and knowledge and seeing some awesome builds. But most of all being at a place where people except you for who you are and who knows at the end of the day you may even end up with a new friend or two.
Hi vapecon
I'm extremely excited to meet the owners of j&js emporiums, there are many members I've met on this wonderful site that I'd love to give them a personal hand shake an spend some time with them. Thank you Vape con for bringing everyone to this event. Waiting impatiently!!!!

Seeing some familiar faces and finding some 12mg juice quite hard to find these days...
Also buying a lot of stuff I don't necessarily need but want and finding some rare Pokémon amongst the vapour

II'm personally looking forward to see how the community actually is. I've only been on the ecig for a short while and the community is definitely way different to any other community I've been online with. The support for each other is commendable and the general attitude is quite refreshing to say the least. I'm looking at how being in person would affect this idea of a community as I've experienced other forum gatherings where the loudest guys online are the shyest in person.
So happy to finally be a part of such a great community in SA even though I know I won't win this. I still would just like to thank you all for being so welcoming.In anticipation of VapeCon 2016 we are very excited to start our next competition with the members of ECIGSSA

Thanks guys
One of the greatest moments is meeting a fellow forum member in person.
My wife still chuckles when we go to meets and people stop me and ask me "are you shaunnadan?" I often land up looking at my own name tag to confirm
Naturally being able to look at and sample new gear all in one place is great, but for me the thing I'm mostly looking forward to is the crowds.
Why? Well, just like at the Joburg vape meets, you get a sense of knowing you're not alone in this vape journey, away from smoking. Often I feel very alone when I'm outside a restaurant or office block vaping, outnumbered by smokers. It's funny how I get the feeling that I'm doing something wrong all the time.
With Vapecon I have no doubt I'll get the feeling that I'm not alone, that the "vape revolution" is real, and I'm not the villain.

Great stuff, super stoked to hear that...
I have been doing major extra hours at work just for the vapecon budget ( that way the misses won't skin me alive )
Most looking forward to several Ice cold beers with fellow vapers and walking through clouds of vape. Cant afford to buy to much this time as the ubber trip from Jhb to Pta will kill most of the vape funds.
I'm looking forward to meet all the vendors, meet my fellow Vape-O-Holics, try new jooses, look at all the newer MODs, and to vape like a mad-man the entire day long!!
Lol. Why wo
Lol why would you repost this. Hehheheh. Delete it quickly. Heheheheh
What's the cost to uber ?
Have you considered using the gautrain and then uber from the pta station? It's only 13km from the venue
I have more than a few reasons why i'm looking forward to VapeCon 2016.
The main thing is that it will be bringing myself and a few of my friends in the Johannesburg area together. I am an avid gamer and have made some amazing friends over the net, most of which live in Johannesburg(I live in Cape Town).
When VapeCon was announced i decided that this will be the time for me to fly up and meet everyone. A few of them vape, so i told them about VapeCon and they will now be joining me there.
I am also flying my girlfriend up to VapeCon and am turning this trip into a holiday.
If it was not for VapeCon i would not have flown to Johannesburg, would not have met up with my mates that side, and would not have chosen to take my girlfriend on a trip to meet everyone and have a holiday.
So i am looking forward to meeting everyone there, meeting my fellow mates that vape, and showing my girlfriend what this community is.
