Theres a vape convention in California next weekend and I was thinking of going but I wanted to find out from some experts what the benefits of going are if you aren't a business? Would you recommend?

I would love to go if there is ever one close enough. Exclusive mods and RDAs. Great deals on juice and supplies. Tons of people to meet and discuss vaping with.
I haven't been able to attend one myself but what ^^^they^^^ say is right. It would be a blast to be around fellow vapers and look at all the new items and juices available.
cool thanks for the info. I wish there was a way to get some free juices or samples to get to know more vendors as each shop locally carrys only limited suppliers. Would be great to get more exposure to new brands.
We went to vape bash in San antonio and it was a blast. they are doing vape summit here in houston and i can not wait. I know at vape bash we walked away with some great juice to sample. It is keeping me from having to but any for a bit. Well except my favorites of course. lol I would say go if there is one close to you. Vape bash was free to get in so that was even better.
I went to ECC in Ontario CA in early Sept. It was fun! Met a lot of vendors, got to see up close things that are only pictures on the web and had people handing me sample bottles, hat, shirts, stickers every time we turned around. There were some great bargains to be had, the prices were much less than you would pay online.
Late in the day it became a little rowdy, vendors started throwing things to the crowd and of course, as you would expect, some things got broken and splattered glass bottles became an issue.
I suggest you go early, take advantage of all the tasting stations so you can sample juices new to you, visit with all that you can and enjoy it. I did!

I went to Vape Expo in Miami this summer. Lots of vendors wanted my card (thinking I was a business), but were quite nice when I told them that was just a vaper. Came home with a t-shirt, hat, and over 30 bottles of free juice. It was worth every minute! I had a ball.

I just went to the one in Chattanooga, TN and I am not a vendor, a store owner, and I don't even work at a vape store. it was fun, neat, and informative. I got some free stuff probably not as a much as a vape store person though. you should go though plus a lot of online companies are based in California, and they do offer some discounted price that you wouldn't find normally.
I've gone to Vape Bash in Chicago for the past two years. I'm in to authentic mechanical mods and rebuildable atomizers so there isn't much hardware there that interests me. I primarily go to sample eliquid and get free juice samples. I've met some vendors and friends there so it's nice to catch up and say hello. I'll go for a few hours on a given day and since it's not a long trip for me I have a good time. If it's not inconvenient for you to get there and you don't have any conflicts I'd suggest that you check it out.
I was in Lewisville, TX for VapeBlast in March. LOTS of free samples to take home and enjoy. I didn't need any other reason.
Also went to ECC in Ontario, picked up a couple of mods that were exclusive to the show and got a TON of free juice. It was awesome. 
this is all amazing! I cant wait to go to the next one as I missed the last one. Maybe I can drag a fellow vaper with me.
when's the next one around Dallas? Wanted to go to VapeBlast but had a friend in from out of town.
Went to Vapeapallosa here in Atl and walked away with tons of swag, juice samples, and some great gear on the super cheap. also a bit of nicotine poisoning from trying so many juices. JK!! My wife did almost hurl though.
I've been an exhibitor at The Vape Summit Vegas 2014, ECC 2014, and will be attending The Vape Summit Houston 2014 in the beginning of next month. It is a very cool experience. You get to go to a place that's all about vaping. If vaping is something you're interested in or passionate about, there isn't really a reason to not go if you can afford to. I went to VaperCon West in Reno for work, but I wasn't exhibiting.
Play your cards right and you could walk away from the convention with a giant bag of freebies. Stickers, e-liquid, mod holders, drip tips, etc. You get to see what new products are coming out. You get to check out other peoples' builds, which you might not hear about unless running into a random person at a convention. Talk to people across the country (sometimes the world) about what vaping is like where they are from, etc.
It's a good experience all around. If you can afford to go to one, I definitely recommend doing so.

I have intended to but have not been to one yet. You guys are getting to me, and now you got me going, so I am looking forward to attending one soon.
