Ragnarok for Vaping
I take great pride in my Scandinavian heritage. I know the story of Ragnarok is not the end of the world but the end of an old world and the rebirth of a new one. I believe this is what is happening in our industry.
As many of you know, I have been very critical of IBVTA and UKVIA. I know there are good people there and I wish them all the best but they have utterly failed in the most important thing today and that is helping vape shops serve customers.
Here in the Czech Republic we have a very weak trade association but they still got the government to understand to let vape shops stay open. Italy had a doctor convince the government and yet the UK trade associations sent letters.
Restating and same old 95% safer then smoking needs to die as well. If people genuinely cared they would have switched and they also would not drink too much or go to fast food places. Today, people will care about money. I know this does not mean anything to Hobbyists but for the regular folks, they care.
For those in the UK please remember Thomas Cook. This company was in business for over 175 years and a world leader and they went out of business because they did not change with the times. There will be many leaders today that will be gone tomorrow. If you are making hand sanitizers that should be a big red flag.
I believe in a bright future for our industry and even posted that a couple weeks ago.

We will be growing this year and we will welcome talking with others that share our vision and hope for the future. Please do not try to sell me a new Brand, this is not the right time.

I wish only the best for all and know that the public still wants our products, they just are looking to a new bright future where good brands with good prices will help them save money and they will benefit from these products.
I will wait for PM if anyone wishes to share their thoughts.

4 年Thanks Sebastien for the like. I dont think the folks in the UK will even look at it as they are in their little bubble. UKVIA is doing VApril and they even have one like on their post. LOL I have 4 times the followers and they are still asking for many thousands of Euros for something.
