3,662 Miles West of Tamworth
We’re all looking forward to October 22nd and this year’s Vapefest in Tamworth, however there are some folk who think that it’s just too far away for them to vist. Good news then that there is an alternative vapefest on the very same day, a mere 3,662 miles to the West of Tamworth, in Richmond Virginia, USA….
I’m sure we’ll all raise a vaping device of choice and salute our colonial cousins on a day which is now a truly transatlantic celebration of vaping and vapers!

Z Midlands Mini Meet 2011

Just like to say a big thank you to all the people at the mini-meet for making it such an enjoyable occasion and making us noobs feel so welcome.
I arrived Saturday lunchtime and was met at the door by DaveK who introduced himself and within minutes had me sucking on his Icon :D. From there I was introduced to Hifi, Doodlebug, Crossbow, Jez, and many others. It was great to meet everyone I have conversed with on the forums and in chat.
It was also an excellent opportunity to try out a wide variety of equipment, from small mods, to Provari’s, GGTS’s, Darwins etc. and compare the different flavours and vapours available from each side by side. Thanks to HifiStud, I was able to compare a 510 against a 901 in otherwise identical setups, something I had been wondering about; my preference for flavour and smoothness was a 901 on his GGTS tank thing – it was, as he put it, Lush !. I also monopolised his Darwin for most of the evening as I faded off into my own blissful world…. Thanks Dave.
Thank you Jaded for presenting me with a box mod for noobs– this is the first time I’ve had 3.7V capability and the cartomisers I use definitely produce more flavour now
Thanks also to NickOTeen (Decadent Vapours) with whom I spent far too long sampling his wares, having a go at mixing and learning a great deal about everything from dripping to what flavours not to mix (stay away from Menthol Chicken ! ).
Due to the generosity of everybody I picked up many free samples, a lot of which I’m sure will find their way to other noobies like myself through the forum and future meets.
Thank you again for being such a welcoming group – see you at the next meet – If anyone is apprehensive about attending these, don’t be – in my experience you’ll be made most welcome, learn far more than you can anywhere else and have a great time to boot.

The Moat House is a Grade II historic building located in what were once the grounds of Tamworth Castle. Built in 1572 by William Comberford as a family home, it sits on the banks of the River Tame. A rare family of 18 Black Swans live around the grounds. In 1815 the Moat House became a lunatic asylum. It is purported that walking the second floor corridors is the ghost of a young girl named Emily. It is believed she was locked in the tower by her father and died in a fire that originated from a burning candle. So it’s an old haunted looney bin - perfect!
