    I"ve just counted all the prizes, and there are exactly one bazillion of them (well, over a hundred anyway(over fifty if the juice prizes are for single winners)...This raffle might be going on until 6am!!!).

    How are these things being divided up?
    I'm not entirely sure how it's gonna run to be honest, I just remember reading something about 12 tickets on the website.

    Would be fair lousy if one person won all the goodies tho! Haha!

    plenty prices, plenty winners is what will happen, a very few will be very happy winners
    (attending vapefest and vaping in general makes you a winner anyway...)

    Just to answer a couple of questions regarding the raffle.

    Its maximum of 12 tickets per person to make it as fair as possible so that everyone gets the same chance. There's more details on the website here

    The raffle wont all be done in the one go but over a couple of sessions possibly one around 12 -12:30pm and one around 3/3.30pm though this will be confirmed in early September.

    The format for the raffle itself and the way the prizes are being split will be announced in early September as there is a lot of organising to do and there will be more raffle prizes coming on line as well so it makes sense to work out the format later.

    I'll also be attending the UK Vapefest in August and will see first hand how they manage the raffle over there and I'm hoping that will help me tie down the finer details to make sure everything is done properly and fairly.

    I will announce the full details/format/prize breakdown in early September and in the meantime I'm gonna keep drooling over some of the gear that's coming in. :D

    Should be able to make it now, only an hour and a half from Askeaton. Can't wait to try some flavours, still can't find one that hits the right buttons, the pear 10ml off TBS was good but no 30ml or 50ml, might give watermelon a go when they get back.

    Haven't spent any money on vaping in the last week :) got about 10 bottles of juice to through and more batteries n bits to open my own store, happy with my LT batteries lasted me 44hrs, 36hrs and last one 28hrs and counting, and thats on roughly 3ml's a day on 18mg.

    Can't wait to win my Provari in the raffle ;)

    might see if any rooms left for the night, it would be a struggle be there all day without a few Bulmers light.
    50 days off fags yesterday and not going to count anymore, no point haven't wanted one since day one :D

    Its great you can make it kiffy and will be even better if your staying as promises to be a good session and laugh. Even if the rooms were gone in hotel there are other Hotels and B&Bs nearby as well. :D

    I haven't counted the days in quite a while but I'm probably around 80 or so since I made the switch not long after getting together with my girlfriend.

    I'm definitely going to be making this trip on the day from Limerick but still haven't decided on whether or not I will be staying but I'm willing to offer my car up for carpooling if anyone's interested! PM me if you're looking for a way up from Limerick City!

    Also Kiffy, that ProVari is MINE!!!:pac::pac::pac:

    Will get back to you on the car pooling as I am strongly thinking of staying overnight so I can have a few pints during the day, I will be looking forward to a few ciders while puffing on my Gold Provari ;)

    CJ you've no chance of winning it, my name is on it already I can feel it in my water.:D

    BTW Out of curiosity are the batteries for the Provari and the Lavatube the same? (the 18650 ones) from what I've read on sites they seem the same?? and should work on both models, would save on buying batteries and a charger.

    I hope a vender has Provari's for sale coz if I don't win one I will definitely buy one on the day.

    The Provari uses batteries with a nipple top while the Lavatube uses ones with a flat top. However, if you use magnetic spacers on the flat tops they can be used on your new Provari. I think 18490 are the standard battery for the Provari but you can use 18650 (bigger and last longer) if you buy an end-cap which extends the device. Provari is great but extremely expensive when you consider all the decent vv's that are on the market now at a much cheaper price.

    Thanks for that info Bubba, wouldn't you just bloody know one of them would have to be different and awkward.

    As you say there are plenty of other vv's out there much cheaper, but it's the Rolls Royce of vaping, why settle for a Skoda when you can have a Rolls :)

    Well done to Newmark for getting this organised. It looks like it's going to be a great event with loads of brilliant prizes. I'll be away so won't be able to make it but I hope everyone has a great time and hope there will be lots of photos taken and it will become an annual event.

    Is there anyone any good at making video clips for youtube who might volunteer to put together a teaser video clip for Vapefest Ireland that includes a picture of venue, vendors logos, pics of prizes, the leprechaun with the gold provari and some feelgood lively background music ? I could embed it on the website as well maybe.

    Shiiiiiiiiit!!!!!!

    ESI stepping up the game in terms of juice....the only reason I've never tried the El toro stuff is the fact I'll have to wait for it with shipping from the uk, so damn annoying....
