@Rob Fisher and the rest of the organizers

 

[Silver]

Great questions @SparkySA

I will try answer

1. After spending 2 days at vapecon what was the thing that worried you guys the most but turned out a huge success
For me it was the unknown. We plan for several things that could go wrong, but one never knows at an event like this what could go wrong. Anything out of the ordinary that one wouldn't think could happen. Thankfully nothing like that happened and the problems that did occur were manageable and we could deal with them. But that's what worries me the most - things one cant plan for easily.

2. When you sneeze is it fruity or desserty?
Fruity Ice

3. What was the wierdest thing you saw at vapecon besides me
I didnt see you @SparkySA - so apologies for that - I have to say I didnt see any very weird things this year. Last year there was a guy with a gas mask in the queue (you can see the picture of him in last year's photo thread).

4. Is there something that made you go woowww that's awesome
Yes, there were a few. The Vaporesso stand, the amount of International exhibitors (well, that was no suprise, since we knew in advance having signed them up) but seeing them on the day was quite something. Timo ODV. The Gobo light with our VapeCon logo. The photowall underneath the soundbooth - we weren't sure how that would turn out but it turned out to be awesome.

5. If there is one thing you would change or improve what would that be and why?
Not much really - we did everything we planned to do and it worked out well. I'd say I would have liked the general volume of the sound system to have been lowered a bit throughout the event. We have noted this.

6. What is your current vape setup(Addy and mod)
I have about 6 vapes in rotation at most times. Currently vaping my Reo/RM2 with Blackbird in it and a Minikin with disposable Mystique and Prime Vape PomCool in.

Here we go @SparkySA

1. After spending 2 days at vapecon what was the thing that worried you guys the most but turned out a huge succes

After having done this for a few years and knowing just how much preparation that Hi Ho @Silver does there wasn't anything that was worrying me... I guess I was worried about the economic climate and that did have an effect on the numbers but despite a slight drop in number VapeCon was a huge success! I always base success on happy vendors and happy visitors and I know both were happy!

2. When you sneeze is it fruity or desserty?

Icy and fruity!

3. What was the wierdest thing you saw at vapecon besides me

There wasn't much in the way of Weirdos this year... some coloured hair but I love that... nothing comes to mind but maybe that's because I'm used to Vape Conventions and very little seems weird these days!

4. Is there something that made you go woowww that's awesome

A few of the stands like Vaporesso, White Snow and Smok... also the massive screen at the Riot Squad stand... and some of the promo girls!

5. If there is one thing you would change or improve what would that be and why?

The team was really on track this year and it has to have been the smoothest VapeCon ever... I can't say I was stressed at any time... I guess there is the odd tweak here and there but nothing substantial to change... personally I would turn the music down a bit but maybe that's just because I'm an old fart!

6. What is your current vape setup(Addy and mod)

Spyder GT and Dvarw DL

I know most of the guys are taking a well deserved break and spending time with family - after an intense few days pretty much focused on vaping. So give them a chance...

1. After spending 2 days at vapecon what was the thing that worried you guys the most but turned out a huge succes

I was most worried that @Silver would have a medical emergency, but yeah.. things turned out alright this year, mostly buttery smooth.

2. When you sneeze is it fruity or desserty?

Tobacco Cigar with a kick

@Daniel in the best way.

The Coffee van from Rebel Revolution Vape

The only two things that come to mind are the weather and attendance. But both are beyond our control.

Yeah problem is them girls only do that kind of thing if you are holding a puppy or if your on pension... if us slightly younger lot tries to have a picture with one on each arm... Your a creep

Make sure its something really cute... The more the cute the better the pull.

@Silver so you got yourself a disposable Mystique! What do you think of it?

Indeed I did - I actually got a pack of 3 before VapeCon because I was struggling to find time to pitstop all my devices - it would have taken me about an hour or two to pitstop and I just ran out of time. So the Mystique came to the rescue.

Loving it. Flavour is about 7/10 - not quite in the leagues of a Skyline or Dvarw - but the tradeoff is a good one. No pitstopping required - just put on a new tank and off you go. I think I will use it more frequently for those situations where you need to go quickly to an unexpected meeting. Its great and I am enjoying it!

 

[Alex]

What was the problem with the weather @Alex?

On Sunday morning it felt like hell had literally frozen over, but luckily things warmed up nicely thanks to all those glowing coils.

 

[SparkySA]

So how do you guys process al this, I mean I am overwhelmed having 2 working mods with addys, you guys get bombarded by people like me with stupid questions all the time, and not talking about the reviews and stuff

 

[SparkySA]

I would also like to review a juice or 2 nudge nudge wink wink....... I mean who says no to sample juice....... Ummmm not me

Reviewers buy their own stuff and review it. After a long time of doing regular reviews and people actually find your reviews interresting, vendors/manufacturers might start to send you stuff to review. The really good/top reviewers still buy their own stuff, so they have regular reviews and not just wait a month or two till they get new stuff for free, and most important if you buy yourself, people will trust your reviews more because then you will tell the truth and not lie to get more free stuff

There was a big scandal involving a reviewer years ago where it came out that his reviews where bought. I am not going to name fingers and point faces but his reputation is still to this day very much hammered because of it. basically what i am saying is rather buy and review then get caught in that same trap. thats why so many reviewers today start there reviews with "This product was sent to me" Or "This product was purchased for the..."

Wow! I think the Mystique's flavour is superb (for most flavours), but of course I haven't vaped a Skyline or Dvarw! The latter must be phenomenal then!

Aaaahhh it makes sense, my reviews would suck anyway

I would go:

I purchased the new RUMPLEFORESKIN MEGA mod from OOM JAPIE'S rook en kook shop

When I press da button I go OOOOHHHH and when I release it I go AWEEEE

the battery door open and closes like a Brakpan garage door. Of so iets

Ek moet eerder nie review nie, mag dalk hofsake en mense se gevoelens seermaak..... Ek hou maar verby

You have no idea what you are missing out on.
