VapeCon 2018 - the story in pictures

Cant get enough of Prohibition's Juices. Will definitely support them again. Also loving the 2 T-Shirts I got from them when purchasing their deals. Only crap thing is all my Prohibition juices are finished;(

Sorry to hear your juices are done :( - where do you live. We're just about in stores around the country. Two launches in JHB in the next few weeks but currently in CPT and KZN. Otherwise, go to our website to order. Free shipping with any order over R300 :)
Let me know if I can help further :)
 
Next is international juicemaker Cotton Candy all the way from Russia!

They had a double booth stand that was colourful and exciting. Waving to the camera early in the morning, just before opening time...

A big thanks to Anastasiya and the Cotton Candy team for your involvement and support. Thank you for all the efforts you went to with your stand and for travelling from far! We appreciate it.
 
If my wife sees all these photos with the promo girls she might think I am not going to vapecon for the right reasons...So its my civil duty to fill up my backpack with goodies before I go home!
 
Right, this is never an easy post ;-)

From @Rob Fisher and myself, we want to thank each and every one of you guys for your hard work and efforts in helping to put this together. From the planning phases to the build up day and during the event itself. There is no way this could have happened without you guys. You know your stuff and I am proud to be part of this amazing team! A big thank you also to @Christos and @SAVapeGear who helped us out with so many things on the event itself. Legends. You all rock big time!

This VapeCon had the best food vendors ever! I just wish the Halal Guy with the Beef ribs had a restaurant in Durbs! Best ribs EVER! I wish I had taken a selfie with my ribs! Here are some peeps enjoying the VapeCon Food! And the outside seating area was also a great place to do a rebuild! @Stitch doing his thing!
