Vapefest Ireland - September 15th 2012

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hi Folks

Just want to let everybody know that the very first Vapefest Ireland will take place at the Abbeyleix Manor Hotel near Portlaoise, Ireland on 15th September 2012 from 11am to late. This location was picked because it is vape friendly and is located in a central part of Ireland. It’s hoped this will make it as accessible as possible, for people travelling from north, south, east and west of the country and from the major airports.

This is a non profit event, entry is free and the sole purpose is to promote vaping & e-cigarette use in Ireland and vaping in general and to provide an arena where curious, new or experienced vapers and vendors can meet each other and have a fun and interesting day/night.

The event will facilitate those who are curious about vaping & ecigarettes by providing a platform where vendors and experienced users of ecigarettes will be able to advise and demonstrate how ecigarettes work and share experiences with each other.
Whether you’re experienced at vaping or have recently started, there will be plenty there to interest you.

It is foreseen that there will be a vast display of different types of e-cigarette type systems available on the day, along with a free juice bar where everyone can sample different flavoured e-liquids and a rebuildable table where a demonstration of different types of rebuildable type systems and setups will be shown. I will be looking into other activities on the day and am open to ideas if anyone has something they would like to see done. And of course there will be a monster raffle for attendees; more details are on the Vapefest website.

So far 10 vendors have confirmed they will attend on the day and we have kindly being given sponsorship of some fantastic prizes for a grand raffle from a total of 13 vendors so far and these can be seen here. I’m expecting more vendors and prizes to be announced soon.

It is sincerely hoped that as many vapers as possible and any new people thinking of starting vaping instead of tobacco cigarettes will manage to attend this event, where it is hoped that a fun and enjoyable day will be had by all. I’d also ask everyone here to try encourage family members and friends who vape or are interested in quitting smoking for e-cigarettes to come along on the day as it isn’t often an opportunity to meet a vendors/other vapors and win such fabulous prizes comes along.

I will update this thread with event news as it happens.

Happy Vaping

I'm just back from Abbeyleix. I went up there to finalise some arrangements with the hotel for the event and I was really impressed with the Hotel so thought I'd share my thoughts with ye.

The hotel itself is fabulous and the room where the event is on is really nice and I'm not just saying it to hype the event but its perfect for a Vapefest, Ye will see what I mean on the day. The room for event will take 300 or more people easily and has a fine size bar, nice tables/chairs, decor, etc!
There's room for overflow as well with a lovely conservatory hallway with tables and chairs and a nice outside seated area too if the weather is fine.

The main bar in the hotel where its hoped to have a bit of crack in the evening and into the early hours is a fine big modern bar and the staff are really friendly there as well. I ended up talking to a few of them and enjoyed a vape and a cup of coffee while explaining what vaping is all about to some of them. A couple of them who are smokers are even going to come to the event and thinking of giving vaping a go to try get off of tobacco.

I'm also currently looking for a printing company to sponsor a big banner sign for the day and maybe some posters or leaflets. I've contacted a good few companies and am awaiting replies so hopefully one of them might help.

Anyways I'll shut up now I'm rambling!
 
Another couple of bits of news.

The Pinkvaper who has a really good blog and review website has given us some Pinkvaper Tshirts to give away on the day and will also possibly be doing a few interviews on the day which could be fun.

And the House of Liquid samples arrived this morning after a high speed pursuit of the postvan around my village as I missed the knock on the door!! House of Liquid have very kindly given us over 100 sample bottles including El Toro Puros and El Toro Cigarrillos to give away on the day
