AVE is also in your neighborhood. They moved to Texas a few months ago & are usually big players in local meets.
GotVapes has an office in New York, and one in Sugarland. Danno swears that he isn't in Houston, lol. Well, the majority of us aren't IN HOUSTON, but rather a suburb too. lol. Danno from GotVapes always has something on his plate,so he doesn't always attend the meets, but normally is extremely generous when offering gift certificates up for raffle.
There is usually a meet up every month or so. Some other girl in the "All across Texas" sub-forum organizes some of them, & I organize others in old town spring. We get a turn out of 30-40 people & it's usually a blast. I think that there was a meet up at the beginning of August. I'm organizing one that will be held on private land in montgomery county this fall once the weather cools off. There will be a live band, bonfire, you get the idea.
I've only tried 2 of Elixir's juices, birthday cake (it was okay) & jolly rancher (it was good, but I wouldn't buy it). Then there was the mystery juice that Greg had me try at the first meet I organized. lmao (I don't know what to think, but i'll try anything once).
I'll be heading to Vapefest in Vegas with another girl from Houston next month. We are both pretty excited. We both wanted room shares & didn't realize it until we discussed it at the June meet.
There are lots of modders in the Houston area. Then there is the owner of the ONLY pure GOLD GG here in Houston. I pretty much organize the meet, advertise, talk to vendors to donate stuff, then bring all of the stuff to the meet, drink, talk, vape & take pics. ALL of the meets I organize are FREE, the raffles are FREE too. I figure that if the vendors are donating stuff, why should I be making a profit off it? Others have complained that other Houston meets charge for raffles, but WHERE is the money going? Personally, I haven't attended those meets, as i'm usually working, but I understand where the complaints are coming from.
We don't normally get many attendees from ECF, the majority come from Elixir TV, as they go ALL OUT for us promoting & stuff. The Houston crew is awesome!!! You will be able to see the meets listed on the ECF calendar, & I normally post them in the GotVapes sub-forum, because Chris & Danno are cool like that & let me.
