Dof move of the meet - I think the nemisis that I was bringing to sell must have fallen out of the car when I fetched all my vape tools etc and gone under a car . As it is no where to be found . eesh .

That really sucks, hope it still turns up somewhere.
 
Guys a massive thank you to all who attended this awesome meet up!

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to sit and speak to everyone as the day just literally flew away.

I won't even begin to list names of everyone who was there. There was a flurry of coil building activity, juice sampling and Reo discussions. The focus of the coil builders was for the cloud chasing competition, which was announced as the surprise for the event, to take place at 19h00.

@Gizmo and @Stroodlepuff very kindly sponsored the prizes for the Cloud Chasing competition.

I tried my best efforts to get the IGOW3 up and running (as per pic above) but landed up winning second place, using a 1.2 ohm coil on the Reo! The Igow3, by unanimous agreement, is very difficult to build on and I gave up trying to seat two coil legs into the center post with the shoddy restaurant lighting, and relied on other (non dedicated) builds to make clouds.

My 100% VG Cloujuice 3mg seems to have been well received by those who tried it, and will need to make appearances at future vape meets

Thanks for the awesome prize from Vape King, I now am the owner of a ChiYou mech mod!

Well done to @SVS1000 who walked off with a brand spanking new Aqua, and well done to @Smokyg for winning first place and taking home the awesome X Gun wooden Electric Mod.

Thanks to everyone. The discussions were interesting, the laughs excellent, and the vape clouds humongous!

sounds like it was a stylish meet! especially johans speech complications ;)

let ujs know who was doing "Silver's" this time around :D
 
Happy to say I got my hands on a top class, made with love, Vape Stand from Sky Blue Vaping!

Thanks @Derick and @Melinda your attention to detail is phenomenal.

This baby even has a felt bottom, and felt lined trays for mods. She is very Reo friendly as well, top class!

Thanks for the post @devdev I wanted to do one almost exactly like this last night but I was just finished when we got home. Was asleep within 20 minutes. Been a hectic last few days was feeling pretty burnt out hence we left so early :) what time did youbguys end up leaving?

That's bad - hope you just misplaced it between all your stuff (which are a lot).
 
Thanks guys, the meet was another great success, thoroughly enjoyed it! Pity I missed the cloud chasing competition, had to leave a bit early. Congrats @SmokeyG

Wow, what a wonderful Vape Meet!

As @Gizmo said, it was bigger than last time.

VapeMeet3.jpg

This was quite early - several more people arrived after this shot was taken.
We filled the long table and had about 10 more people on normal four seater tables a bit later.
Only took a few photos given that @Frenzy (seen standing in the blue top) was doing the honours.

It was loads of fun. I arrived at 14h30 and left at about 22h30. The time flew!

Thanks to @devdev, who brought name tag stickers, we tagged everyone with their forum name. Made it much easier to know who was who, especially for the newer folk. Great idea Dev. Lots of familiar faces but many newcomers too.

On the topic of doing a "Silver", no-one actually landed up on the couch;-) I think most people were quite careful and I noticed that most were vaping quite low nic content juice. I was on my self-coiled mPT2 most of the time so it was fine. I took out the "heavy artillery" for the occasional throat hit binge a few times during the day/evening. I made sure that a few others sampled my highly set IGO-L coil with Bowdens Mate. Quite a few coughs and some strange looks at me after trying it, but it was well received. I learnt that I am definitely a bit more of a throat hit person than most ;-)

It was fantastic to meet the people face to face that I hadn't met before. Such as @Rowan Francis (seen in the pic above in the foreground with his right arm stretching out) and @johan (in the background with the classic jacket and hat). That hat was a winner Johan! You guys are classic ! Other new faces for me were @Reinvanhardt and @Rex Smit. I also met @Tornalca's wife. Then @annemarievdh and her other half Jaco. Spent some time with @bwbwings and his wife @debslouw. Great to see you all. I was impressed that the number of females is increasing. Big up to those that travelled from far to make the meet.

As usual @Gizmo and @Stroodlepuff were on top form. So too were @Derick and @Melinda. We enjoyed drinks together and one or two shooters. And @Derick, your vape stand looks really good!

There were various "clusters" going on at all times. The serious coil builders were preparing for the cloud competition. Most active on that front were @devdev, @Smokyg and a few others. @Rowan Francis brought a huge amount of gear in his tupperware boxes. There were a few newcomers who enjoyed testing out high-end gear and seeing the roadmap ahead ;-)

Despite a lot of serious talk about all things vaping, there were always people laughing and cracking jokes. @TylerD is someone who can laugh with you on just about any topic. And @devdev's laugh and chirps also prevailed. Not to mention @Stroodlepuff's signature laugh which lightened the atmosphere.

On the equipment front, it was probably the biggest collection of vape gear in one place in SA. Amazing to see. The Nemesis/Kayfun combo was very popular. The REOs were present. And a plethora of other high-end devices including fancy drippers, all the mech mods and even modified VTRs. And let us not forget the wide range of more "standard" lower power equipment. I tell you what, if you want to see all the gear and try out many setups, there is no better place to be!

Overall it was a fabulous meet. Lots and lots of laughs. Great people. And a warm sense of spirit and friendliness. Priceless actually.

Thank you guys!

The photo does not do it justice but the review yet again top class! We were almost double the amount of people at one stage!

Had such a fun evening meeting the new people and catching up with the old ones.

Awesome vape meet guys! Well done JHB!
 
really sad to say that I missed the vape meet yet again :( had to work late yet again :mad:
 
Thanks again to @Stroodlepuff and @Gizmo for arranging the meet, it was a awesome day filled with sweet smelling vapor, awesome people, laughs, drinks and all round vaping awesomeness... :D

It was great meeting the new faces and seeing the old ones, we are definitely a diverse community where everyone seems more like family than strangers on a forum.

Apologies that i didnt come round to chatting to everyone, but i was extremely busy building majat coils for guys kayfuns and also for the comp.

Well done to the other contestants in the comp and also a big thanks for the good words and a special thanks to Vape King for hosting the competition!! I would love to see more contestants the next time around!!

Ill be post processing the pics soon and upload them as soon as thats done!
