I went to my first vape convention today.

I just got back from VapeXpo in Ann Arbor Michigan. I had a really good time and met some great people in the industry who I socialize with on my local Facebook groups. I'm already looking forward to vape in the Fort at the end of August.

I'm kind of kicking myself in the behind for not jumping on a few more deals but overall I think I made out with a nice little score. I don't think I spent more then $60 with another $5 donation to The vaping Militia.

Welcome to an amazingly fun hobby and life changer been to several conventions and they are so fun. Tend to plan my vacations for a few years on vape conventions. The people are great and it's a lot of fun. Keep up staying off the cigs.

Darn, I wish I had known about it. Ann Arbor is an hour away.

I was worried I wasn't going to make it. Luckily I was able to catch the last two hours which was actually when the best deals were happening. There were $5 30ml bottles everywhere during the final half hour. Mitten Vapors was walking around just handing random people bags of juice. I got five bottles from them. Unfortunately they were only 3mg though. I guess I can always put them away for later since I'm currently transitioning from 12mg to 6mg.

I guess I should have posted about this event earlier this week so others close to the area could have went. There's always Vape in the Fort coming late August though

They are coming to NJ in July. Hope I can make it. Sounds like going on the last day is best for great deals.

I went to the A2 VapeXpo Friday afternoon. I would have much rather gone late Saturday 'cause I knew there would be mad deals but I had other obligations.

Overall, it was good experience and all the vendors were way cool. Not sure what others' impressions were but it was interesting to see the "clique" mentality live and in person. Mature folks were conversational but it seemed that the younger crowd was oblivious to non-millennials.

I don't think I've ever seen that many black T-shirts outside of a Metallica concert in my life!

I joined the Vaping Militia earlier this year, about three months ago I think, so I could sport my dog-tags at this event and was a little miffed that they didn't arrive until Saturday afternoon. Still made the on-site donation, though; it's a good cause.

It was somewhat surreal to meet Zen in person.



And another shot:

I really want to go to one, patiently waiting for one at McCormick Place in Chicago, just 45 minutes from me. That's where all the big conventions are, like the car show etc...I know there is one soon but it's only for vendors. But yeah they sound cool so I'm keeping my eyes peeled.

Fort Wayne isn't much further. Thanks, may try to hit that one. If anyone else here is going to that, let me know and we could meet up.
