This meet is going to be epic. Even without prizes and sponsorship it would have been great.
I am humbled by all the forum vendors and individuals who have pulled through and are supporting the vaping community in vape town.
The meets in cape town started as a small group of vapers sitting around chatting blowing a cloud or 3 munching on some chow and generally just socializing. The only vendors there were Mr CVS and @Oupa, but it was fun and enjoyable.
Look at us now, at the last event we had folks visiting from Jozie and durbs.
So yeah a sponsor pulled, their loss, this community remembers who supports it.
To all the vendors sponsoring thank you so much. I'm sure you will see a return in your investment although I know most if not all are doing it for out of love for the community.
To the organizers thanks for the work so far. I know @Marzuq has been the mouthpiece, driving force and general dogsbody. Thanks bro.
Now all thats left to do is for Cape Town to show up and have a blast. I'm super excited already.
See you all on Saturday. If not you'll see the pics and make a plan to not miss the next one.

Won't be the same without you sir, but we shall soldier on.
Very strange to pull out at last minute. With a vendor table there you would have easily covered your R1000.00 sponsorship prize. If you were truly around for the vaping community you would have come?Apologies to Marzuq for having to pull the sponsorship. I can imagine the work that must go into arranging a meet.
I PM'd him this morning regarding this matter hoping for a more professional approach to informing you guys of my withdrawal, this was not exactly what I had in mind.
Yes I am pulling prize sponsorship and yes it's right before the meet.
What this looks like on face value is left to the imagination. @Zegee and @Zeki Hilmi always leading the pouncing brigade... refuse an undeserving child a chocolate and watch him scream bloody murder... in your case always behind a keyboard boys.
We did not decide to pull the sponsorship because we are hosting "our own vape meet". There is no such thing happening. This is utter nonsense as I'm always in favor of unity amognst us all as vapors and our endeavors to promote our hobby.
An opportunity came up for to me explore something completely new and different in this vaping game we play. It's something that has not entirely been done before nor approached in the manner I intend to. It's something I've been wanting to do for a long time and should I be able to pull it off will be nothing short of epic, really putting us on the map and adding a whole new level of excitement and depth to vaping. Unfortunately this stunt requires money and quite a bit of it and what we all have to gain from it as a community and vaping unit is worth far more than this prize, even if it was not on a monetary value. I don't expect you to understand this right now as I'm completely drawing from my passion and love for vaping as inspiration for this play. All this in return requires me to seek funding, pulling from every resource I have at my disposal including our current promotional and marketing campaigns.
There's method behind my madness and again I apologize for not being able to attend nor sponsor the event. I knew there'd be a bit of blow back to it and that's okay, because I believe that what I'm envisioning and trying to achieve is far more important than always trying to have to please everybody for the sake of 100% PR success rate, when there's always gonna be the disgruntled ones you'll just never ever reach.
Apologies again Marzuq and I truly hope you guys have a fantastic and successful meet!

@RevnLucky7 , You were hoping it would be handled in a more professional manner followed up by .. "Yes I am pulling prize sponsorship and yes it's right before the meet.

Makes no sense unless you genuinely believe that one set of rules applies to you and a different one to the rest of the world. Also this is a forum, where everyone involved is replying from behind a keyboard so the whole " You're just an internet gangster " card doesn't really wash on here either in my humble opinion.
These guys are friends of mine so I may be over sensitive to your post. but actually believe that you're breaking the forum rules of not being abusive.

hahahahah, Sorry but I had to, Dale what sport is this?.
not that this has anything to do with the thread justin, But Ice hockey when i went to world cup and paintball when playing for Renegade.. But anywhooooooo back to thread topic
Cant wait for this meet and to get to meet all these faces.
Lol ya I know, but just what you said was one of those "what she said" moments.
Likwise, very keen for this meet.
Jeez this is getting awesome ! Exciting times. thanks all sponsors and Marzuq and the crew for all the leg work
Wish I could bro I will be sailing and only coming back on the 27th. I will be there in spirit though. I dearly miss this awesome community and was put off vaping for a while although I never stopped practicing, inventing, creating, vaping and trying new juices. I will become more involved with all you legends again once the dark memories of egotistical *****&$$$$ leaves my mind and my heart. It had nothing to do with you awesome vapers or this incredible community, just some misdirection by someone I put a lot of trust in, and I have always loved the good hearted spirit of the folks here.
The way you guys and gals give and the way you save so many from smoking, which I believe is the key moral guiding principle behind vaping, not the making of huge amounts of cash, the way you band together to serve a greater purpose, still to this day touches my heart. I would be a crazy fool not to want to be part of this paradigm shift and in time I will once again. Miss you all and all the good times, the memories from before like a gentle breeze will always help guide my path, in truth and through Love. Vape Long and Prosper you legends.
