I stopped by after Vapercon to pick up some Aztec. I like the shop layout a lot.
Just got back from VaperCon!!

I went to VapeCon yesterday and it was really cool. Met a few of my ECF friends in the real world.
My impressions of Vapecon:
1 Way more people this year, perhaps twice as many. The venue is not quite big enough for the event.
2 More hardware vendors, fewer juice vendors. I was not too thrilled about that. Not much of use to me hardware-wise was available. RSSTs were for sale but I have all of those I want. I was really hoping to find a Russian 91 or KFL there (and I was prepared to pay mark up to have it right then) but no such luck...I did get a nice dripping atty, shield, and adapter extension and a couple of cool drip tips.
3 The juice vendors were better prepared to make sampling easy. Some of them had drip tip covers and mods set up with each juice in them. The number of juices I tried in a few hours, even with frequent breaks with water and iced tea to clear my taste buds, left my palette "confused". A steady diet of Huntsman for a couple of hours was required to set it right.
4 No HHV, my favorite vendor. Too bad. I hope they will consider coming next year, their juice could have been a star of the show. I let quite a few people try Huntsman and Dragon's Fire. They were quite impressed and I suspect some will be making their own orders.
5 Lots of genuine AW IMR batteries for sale. That was good to see. I am a strong believer in the safety and reliability of these batteries.
6 CASAA was there in the front room. They were greeting folks and I got to meet Kristin and thank her personally. She is a warm, kind person and we got to chat for a few minutes. We are lucky to have her as one of the leaders of CASAA.
7 I got to meet and talk to Phil Busardo, too. He is a good guy and seemed to be enjoying himself.
8 Talked to Vape Girl who is friends with another ECf acquaintence of mine I saw there. She was nice, but appeared a bit bothered by the overwhelming crowd.
The crowd consisted of friendly helpful people all around for the most part. A great event!

Glad you guys had tons of fun..
Kinda reminds me of the old computer shows of the 90's that came around to a lot of towns, but without the juice of course..

I got the Brevis 350 in sapphire. I really wanted the carto tank but wanted the sapphire top cap...so I bought the mod and the carto tank >.<
It really is a beautiful finish in various lighting. I'm just scared to death to scratch the finish on it.
How does yours fire? Mine was so sensitive all you had to do was look at it and it'd fire. I took apart the switch and found 2 springs in there. My other Zen's switch only has the one spring, so I took out the second one and it fires normally now.
I also got a great pic of PBusardo, Zen and Vape Girl, along with a pic of Zen and me
I had fun, only stayed a couple hours on Friday but met up with a local board member who makes some really cool mods and drip tips.
I shot coffe out of my nose when I looked at the Vamo behind your Brevis! It looks like it's saying "holy s#@%!!!!"
That room was just between Maryland in late July and the 7th level of hell . So hot! Hey! I see me in that pic!
I asked about getting the extra tubes and they said they'd be on the website sometime soon. I'm really wishing I'd gotten the 490 instead of 350 so I'm hoping it'll be sooner.
Here's a crappy shot of it. Pictures just don't do this thing justice.
...and with the Carto tank on the Medius. The brass drip tip was an Atomic Vapors special edition and I'm really liking it on the brass body.
My 3 favorite youtube vapers all in one shot.
...and finally, Zen and me!
Can I nick the one of yer 3 fav vapers? You got one of my flatmate there and I am putting together an album.
I had me a hella good time myself. And I am a little weird and reclusive so I am glad I crawled out from under my rock for this one. Got to try some great juices, learned where I was going wrong with my RBAs and met some cool people that really care about helping folks make the lifestyle change.

Haha! I don't think Zen or Phil were paying any attention to me hopping in the shot with them.
