I got there about 12 today, stayed until about 5, there is a shit load of stuff to see. Too much for one day IMO.
My biggest let down was seeing the IQOS thing there, fuck knows how they were allowed in. I booed loudly as I passed them, fucking horrible last ditch attempt by the Tobacco companies to keep people on the fags IMO.
Second biggest let down was the copyright infringing logos and brands. Krispy Kreme, Cadburys, three different Fanta rip offs, not clever.
Good stuff... I got to try the Sugar Pie vapes eliquids that one of the reviewers raved about, he wasn't wrong, they are superb! TABLites - stand A100, they do them in short fills as well now.
@CustomVapes have released a line of shortfills. We know them for selling wicked mech hardware more than anything so was a little unsure about them releasing a juice line but I have to say it tasted very, very good. Yes they are very sweet, as you might expect from a range called KNDI, but if you like your sweet flavours they are worth checking out.
Saw Daz from
@Safercigs and picked up some of their new Dr Salt flavours, a menthol and a tobacco one. The tobacco one is not a sweet tobacco and it lingers on the palate like a cig used to. Another good one for smokers struggling to make the switch as you really can't get much closer to a tab than that I reckon. 20mg nic salts FTW!
Good to see a fellow Cornishman still rocking the market. Kenny from Cornish Liquids was there with his team and he has embraced the short fill market too. One of the biggest wins is that you can now get the Cornish Cream Tea juice in 100ml bottles again! Stick two 18mg nic shots in and you have 120ml of 3mg juice - they are doing them for £10-15 quid at the show and I couldn't not buy one. Will be going back again tomorrow to try some more of their range.
Best thing for me is the the next launch from the geniuses at Element. They have released a new range "Cheeba". Now those of you with a slightly checkered past might recognise the name as being related the weed. And it is. No THC (obviously) and no CBD either. So what the fuck is it then, I hear you cry! Well, it's a juice designed for vaping with nic but the flavouring is made up from Terpenes. I will try and write up a bit more about it later but I was blown away by them. When you looked around the show at the dizzying array of same old same old juices these stood out massively, the flavours were like nothing I have vaped before. No sweeteners so the don't clog up coils either. I am looking forward to having a prolonged go on them to see if the novelty wears off or if they can vaped for longer periods without the flavour falling off or the novelty passing. They don't have much there but they squeezed some into some random bottles for me so will see how I get on with it but first impressions blew me away.
So much there I didn't see so looking forward to another wander tomorrow and meeting up with some of the apes too. Shame didn't manage to hook up with
@the_atomic_fart - hope you had a good time there mate!
