Nothing a .45 230 grain hardball wicked with 4,3 grains of ms 200 wont fix...What was that about Parktown Prawns ?
PROOF! - Vaping bigger in Cape Town than Jo'burg!
I would support and event in cape town. Would be a nice outing for a weekend with the wife. Fly in Friday and back home on Sunday. If we are enough vapers we can take over the Plane and Vape ON.

Let's settle this once and for all. 
My comparison is with Gauteng.
The Western Cape only lacks in four departments and ONLY FOUR !!!!!
1) Salaries
2) Vaping
3) Ground minerals
4) Amusement parks
We have ........ (to only name ten)
1) better scenery
2) more foreign visitors
3) better food and wine
4) cleaner air
5) less taxis
6) friendlier people
7) fresh seafood
8) less crime
9) less corrupt municipalities
10) better educational system
So in conclusion ......... despite the vaping aspect, I am a happy camper

Are Parktown prawns still a thing? I haven't seen one in ages. Happily the scorpion plague seems to have died out as well. About ten years ago, I used to regularly find scorpions on the floor of my study and bathroom. Tiny ones but still. Happily, I haven't seen one in years. On the downside, though, I had a snake slither through my study some weeks ago. I estimate that it was a black mamba at least eleven feet long. It did rear up and hiss at me, its jet black maw only emphasising its coffin-shaped head. Fortunately with my years of training in martial arts, facing certain death is a trivial matter for me, and I was able to stare it down until it backed off and split. On the other hand, it might have been a two-foot long harmless garden snake and I might have shrieked like a girlie. But where would be the street cred in admitting that?
Nobody lives in JHB City anymore - we have Sandton now, but this is a typical Cape Town way of thinking!
Martial Arts bro - yasss! But honestly are you serious that it could have been a Black Mamba - I would have kak'ed all over it!
It might not have been a black mamba. It was only two feet long and a medium brown colour with a head that didn't look remotely like a coffin. But it does make the story a lot more dramatic if I estimate it was a black mamba. I am an impeccable source of fake news.
1) better scenery
But the main thing we hear about is the damn mountain.
2) more foreign visitors
Keep them
3) better food and wine
Steak is steak is steak. HRH prepares it as I like it.
4) cleaner air
With that much congestion?
5) less taxis
But the taxis you have are Cape Town drivers
6) friendlier people
I like to think of jhb as aggressively reserved
7) fresh seafood
Hate the stuff
8) less crime
You are home to parliament. Enough said.
9) less corrupt municipalities
I'm not in a position to argue with the Auditor General.
10) better educational system
Despite my reservations, I'm not going to argue with an educator about the education system. Just gonna say my daughters government /former model C high school is supposedly rated 9th out of all schools in the country.
How 'bout we just say each to their own?

Overestimated the school ranking

You do of course realize while JHB and CT are having a measuring contest, the hobos in Durban are browsing around the Sir Vape B&M.
Bastards.

Is it truly a fact that Cape Town is more friendly ?
A really good question...
I think both Cape Town and Jo'burg can agree that Durban does not deserve Sir Vape?
Actually, the answer is yes & no. On the street, people greet you with a smile as they walk by, generally. But the typical Cape Town mentality of "dafuq do you want, i'm having a chill here don't bother me" is a thing.
Like someone would say "hey, how are ya?" but if you actually answer that question they get all panicky and want to get away from this strange outsider as fast as possible.
Ag julle kapies is lekka confused... its table mountain, at certain times, the cold weather condenses water or moisture in the air, and this causes the cloud on the mountain to drop over it, not vaping... eish

Not sure how Hi Ho @Silver feels but based on the effort involved (and cost of flights and hotel accommodation) and the really poor turn out from the Capetonians I for one am not in a hurry to try again soon. But I would love an excuse to get back to CT for a holiday so who knows... ask again after we all recover from VapeCon.
I visited 2 B&M stores shortly prior to the Vape meet at Marimba's restaurant last year. Funny thing is that none of the customers in both stores at the time knew about the vape meet at all, and the vendors were both at the vape meet as participating vendors ???
Would suggest that all participating vendors must advertise in-store for at least 2 weeks prior to the event ???

I will say that Johannesburg vapers have a different flavour palette compared to Cape Town vapers. juice that sells well down here doesn't do so well on Jozi and visa versa. Always found this interesting. Also Capetonians are not in the same bracket as spenders as the vallies. With seen this during the vape meets, Vapefest and the comparison of Vapecon.
