There will be various activities like a free e-liquid bar where there will be e-liquids for all to try out. There will also be other activities like a rebuildable atomiser workshop where anyone interested in this side of vaping will be able to see demonstrations on wick and coil making on some of the different type rebuildable systems.

Due to the fantastic support of vendors we will also be holding a not to be missed Monster Raffle on the day and we will have a fantastic array of prizes, with 1000's of euros worth of prizes up for grabs including but not limited to a 24K Gold V2 Provari starter kit with blue led screen, hundreds of euros worth of gift vouchers, Mini Black Provari, Bam Mod, and lot of different types of electronic cigarette starter kits and lots of e-liquids.

We wish to encourage everyone to attend this event, whether your curious about using electronic cigarettes as an alternative to tobacco or are an experienced e-cigarette user, there will be something there for everyone in an easy going, fun & friendly environment.
