Admission: Early bird tickets £5 per day
The first of the year and the Vape Jam site proudly declares themselves as the “UK’s First Vaping Expo”. Based in central London this should be a superb event and they have an awesome line-up of vaping companies from around the world including Suicide Bunny, Vaporshark and Five Pawns from the US, Vampire Vapes, Vape Club and Skythrone (Alchemy Eliquids and more) from the UK and many other brands.
London Olympia is a great venue and we are expecting a real party atmosphere for this one - a celebration of vaping and a chance to meet the faces behind the brands we have come to know and love over the past few years. We will have a more in depth look at Vape Jam UK next week but if you want to reserve you place now just go here to book tickets.
Ecig Expo
Dates: Saturday 27th June 2015 General Public / Sunday 28th June 2015 Trade Only
Location: Yorkshire Event Centre, Harrogate, North Yorkshire
Website: http://www.ecigexpo.co.uk/
Admission: Free to attend but pre-registration required
“The UK is a major player in the e-cigarette industry, so it is only fitting that there is a professional exhibition to represent the e-cigarette industry in the UK. The Electronic Cigarette Exhibition is focused on becoming a renowned venue to broadcast our industry to the consumers and associated trades. Exhibitors including Siegeli, Kamry, Dovpo, House of Liquids, House of MODS, Alchem Nicotine, Yorkshire Biotech plus many more Juice and Hardware Manufacturers. This event has everything including advice on how we can all work together to keep Vaping going after the TPD. A must attend for general public, vapers, vendors and anyone connected to the industry.”
An impressive list of businesses will be attending again, House of Liquids, Sigelei, Kamry, Posh Global, Flavour Art and more. A great day planned for vapers to attend on the Saturday with loads of great manufacturers and vendors so you can see new and existing products and meet the people who supply our vaping products.
A unique part of this event is that Sunday is a chance for vendors and individuals from the trade to network and discuss the market. In our opinion this is essential if you are a vendor or work in the industry and the TPD details should be out by then and it will be a great opportunity to discuss what we will then know exactly is planned for vaping in the UK.
You will need to pre-book your attendance via the Ecig Expo site.

Dates: Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th July 2015
Location: The NEC, Birmingham
Website: http://www.vaperexpo.co.uk/

The NEC is a superb central location and a great venue and the organisers are aiming to bring together industry retailers, manufacturers, e-juice manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors.
Exhibitors so far include Cuttwood, Totally Wicked Eliquid, Grey Haze and Five Pawns. Some amazing vendors and manufacturers on the list for this one so looks like it will be another amazing event.

Dave Junglist
Journalist at POTVDave Junglist is co-owner of Planet of the Vapes and has been vaping since 2015. He spent his early years with his head in a bass bin and was a very committed and experienced smoker. He had his first cigarette at the age of 13 and just knew it was for him. He did stop briefly with the aid of patches but reverted quickly and became a ‘secret’ smoker, working hard to keep his weak will from the attention of his family. Vaping made an honest man of him and for this he is forever thankful. He has been involved in websites since completing a degree in Environmental Science in the late nineties. At that time there was pretty much no contact with computers but on joining the regular workforce and deciding that the world-wide-web was the future he blagged his first job as a web designer and never looked back. As you would expect from a junglist, Dave likes his beats and is most comfortable when the bass is wobbly.
