They wouldn't stay away, would they?
Forgive a modicum of excitement, should you notice it flirting around this post, but there aren't many sleeps until Vapefest will be upon us. In my mind's eye, I have a picture of a beautiful hall, fragrant with the heady flavours of myriad e-juices being trialled as their vendors display them to the juice-hungry hordes.
The gentle swish of battery housings being screwed into countless atomiser types as vendors entice eager punters to take advantage of festival prices while they try each one pervades my sonic consciousness, and the muted flash of super-shiney and technologically advanced e-cigs glinting in the highlighted shafts of sunlight entering the windows and falling onto vendor tables catches my attention.
This is what it's about - and it probably couldn't come at a better time. By the time all the sleeps have been exhausted and we gather in the centre of the land, the MHRA may well have reported. No matter what said department may decide, Vapefest brings with it probably the best opportunity for vendors to meet their customers and attract new ones, to generate relationships that could be the making or breaking of their future prosperity - you never can tell.
This is neither the time nor place to elucidate any further on what vendors might wish to discuss with their prospective and future customers, but it is, I feel, vital that they do.
As for the customer, the user, the e-smoker? It should be the opportunity to try, handle, experience and taste everything that is good about e-smoking in the UK. Without singling any particular vendor out, those of us who have been around for a wee while might point those newer to the notion at certain places, certain flavours, certain bits of kit. Wouldn't it be grand if everything was there, so that we could all experience the things that we see written about and video'ed.
That's my vision... now it's up to everyone else to make it come true, by being there. Trust me on this - it's important that you attend.
