The Ninth VAPEXPO Moscow – the Most Talked About Exhibition

VAPEXPO Moscow 2019, which took place on November 30 and December 1, caused a real barrage of discussions and numerous feedbacks on the Internet. Both attendees and those who have not been to the exhibition have shared their opinion about the event. Time has come for us to have our say.

VAPEXPO Moscow 2019: highlights

The team of VAPEXPO had a hard time gathering a vape meetup for a number of objective reasons this year:

• the lack of proper support from influencers;

• the decrease in the number of vape community members;

• changes in the vape industry.

However, despite the difficulties, we did it. The ninth exhibition was successful thanks to everyone who attended it! We thank those who helped to organize the meetup and participated in it:

All attendees that supported us, visited the event, took part in contests, drawings, and were excited to meet each other!

The sponsors that made a special contribution to allow us to spend time in the cozy atmosphere and to bring into life all planned activities:

• General Sponsor – Logic Vape, Silver Sponsor – HiLIQ, Exclusive Wi-Fi Sponsor – Marina Vape, Gaming Zone Sponsor – Pride Vape.

• Exhibitors from Russia, China, the USA, France, Turkey, the UK, Greece, Sweden, Switzerland, and Korea.

• Participants of Mech Mod Alley: Vulcan mods, El Thunder, Rockvape Co, North Star Mods, FIR, ACD, who bring their bombastic novelties to every exhibition and add them to the prize fund of our beloved contests.

• The blogger {Do0dKING}, who spent both exhibition days on the main stage as МС and created a true atmosphere of the vape meetup!

• Tony Tornado, who annually helps us to organize Cloud Contests, Vape Tricks Battle and amazes attendees with professional coil builds found at his stand.

• Our separate respect to Misha Korobka, who is an example of how you can develop and support the vape industry in your country. We are happy that he was with us and that the vape community has rightly chosen him to be the Best Blogger at Vape Awards.

Our task was to maintain the atmosphere of past events by putting the favorite activities of vapers on the program. Besides, our team introduced new contests, including the ones whose ideas were offered by our social media followers.

The ninth VAPEXPO Moscow featured:

• WSOV;

• Unlimited Cloud Contest;

• Make a Tornado;

• Vaper’s Lungs;

• Hot Vape;

• Vape Auction and others.

During the Big Mech Shower, we were giving away top-class devices produced by participants of the alley in order to promote the vape movement and to increase the number of visitors to the next meetup. Perhaps they will show themselves at the Cloud Contest or Tricks Battle the next year!

The exhibition traditionally involved the Tricks Battle, organized by Babylon Vape Shop. We thank them for the contest and prizes for winners.

Special thanks to the General Sponsor – Logic Vape! This company provided packages of presents to every participant of contests on the main stage.

We were actively growing the community on social media by communicating with our subscribers and visitors, which allowed us to collect many cool offers regarding the show program. Thanks to the support of partners and participants of the event, we also diversified drawings on social media with cool mech mods and tasty e-liquids.

Conclusions

VAPEXPO Moscow 2019 did not leave anyone indifferent.

Some people are genuinely happy about and waiting for our meetups, and others are trying to shatter the gathering of like-minded people at a single location. Smile-Expo received different feedbacks from partners and bloggers, as well as many cool feedbacks from sponsors and exhibitors. Once again we became convinced that VAPEXPO Moscow is not merely an annual exhibition of vape industry but also a powerful platform to meet friends and colleagues, to discuss the development direction of the industry, and what is more important, the place where we can bring together all Russian vape community under the same roof.

Thanks to such people the exhibition will keep going.
