Batteries are being charged, tanks filled and underpants packed; Vapefest UK is the leading vaping event and, what makes it even more fantastic, it’s free to attend. The event takes place next weekend, the 4th and 5th of August, at the West Mids Showground, Shrewsbury.
The raffle draw will be drawn at 4pm on the Saturday, you will need to be there to claim your prize otherwise it gets redrawn.
One of the standout prizes comes from Andy and Lee at Eden Mods. Vapefest usual means something awesome is coming from them and this weekend will be no exception. Eden Mods is launching its eagerly anticipated Salix RDA. One lucky person will walk away clasping a Rose V3, a Trillium and the new Salix to their bosom. The rest of us will be rushing to the stall to buy one – or parts for the atomisers we already own.
