Midwest/West Region Vapemeet

newmark

I have organised a Vapemeet for Sunday 9th December to be held in The Hunters Lodge, Newmarket on Fergus, Co. Clare from 12.30 - 6pm ish..

They have given us a room that can hold 70 people to use and people will have the option of getting a Sunday lunch there as well if they wish, as well as making use of their bar facilities.

The venue is located a couple of minutes away when you come off exit 10 on the M18 Mortorway. Geographically its only a few miles from Shannon Airport for those of you who don't know the area very well.

There will be some vendors attending and hopefully a few small spot prizes in a raffle day as well and some juices to try out.

I also have 20 bottles of T-juice e-liquid that never made it to Vapefest due to a postal error to distribute on the day.

I will update in a week or so with what vendors may be attending and hope to see some of ye on the day.

Nearly 3 hours from Navan... tough decision!

Dean I think you should be in charge of a north-east meet. You, me and Gwen for starters :-)

Dean_Mc

In charge as in turn up on the day?

Declan from EZsmoke has kindly donated a "Let There Be Juice Volume 1" Gift Tin as a spot prize for the Vape meetup on Sunday week and should be in attendance all going well.

I'm not a regular on the forum, don't even have an e-cig, yet anyway, would it be cool if I attended?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

im not going, but yes it would

at the original vapefest part of the idea was to get non-vapers in so they could have a look and see what it was all about, i'm sure this and any other meetups would be no different

Yes like Digby said part of the idea is to try get information out there about ecigs and you would get to meet people that use ecigs and even try out some stuff if you wanted to.

I would be able to let you try out some of my devices and I'm sure there will be a few vendors selling some kits and bits and pieces on the day as well.

Cool thanks lads. Think I will pop out, would be nice to see what's out there.

Great thats one of my 2 weekends off in the month will be there, don't know the area at all, apart from getting to Shannon airport, can't say I have noticed any signs for Newmarket on Fergus (Poor ole Fergus fancy having Newmarket on top of you all the time) do you carry on from the Shannon turn off (coming from Limerick now not Dumplin) must google it to see just where it is.


Just googled it. Says 41 minutes from Askeaton to Newmarket on poor old Fergus, wouldn't get their in 41 minutes if I took a short cut across the Estuary as the crow flies, where do they get their figures from? Going to have to be a dry day for me unfortunately, can't see the Mrs driving me up :mad:

I will hopefully have one that I can show you next Sunday but not for sale. I'm sure they will appear with some vendors before too long.

Paul from BestEcig has kindly sent on a bag of goodies including a selection of cartos and e-liquids for the Vapemeet next week.

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056339316 Lots of info in that thread explaining the whole concept but its basically the term used for using electronic cigarettes as they produce a vapour and not smoke like tobacco cigarettes so its called vaping instead of smoking.

ah i c cheers

You'd better keep a good eye on it Shane, I heard it also has legs :eek:

Was going to order from a Greek website but they won't have until Dec 13th at earliest and probably wouldn't get here until after Xmas as closing date for posting from Greece is around that So hoping one of the Irish vendors are going to stock it. I'd pre-order it.

Stealthirl

Odds of me making it across have gone up
Defo cant stay down tho,i can offer a lift from Dublin if any one wants

newmark

4 days to go, cant wait! I should also have some more exciting news later today.

newmark

Just to remind vendors and vapers alike that were hoping to throw some ideas on the table at this vapemeet and to try and organise some sort of a national organisation to represent Irish business and vapers interests going forward. Everyone is welcome to attend and should be good craic as well after the serious business is done

newmark

Here's the exciting news that I promised earlier.

e-smokeireland have given us a fantastic wooden box mod from momandpops in the USA for the raffle on Sunday.

newmark

Ovale Ireland will be in attendance at Sundays Vapemeet and have given us 12 bottles of Ovale E-liquid for sampling on the day.

newmark

Ecirette Solutions will also be in attendance and have given us 5 x Mini starter kits for the raffle
