I went to VapeCon yesterday and it was really cool. Met a few of my ECF friends in the real world. Sadly, there were no other members of the HHV Army as far as I know.
My impressions of Vapecon:
1 Way more people this year, perhaps twice as many. The venue is not 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. Too bad. I hope they will consider coming next year, their juice would have been the 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 blessed 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.
