Vampire Vape
WINNER OF VAPOUROUND HALL OF FAME
The vape industry is an ever-evolving sector with constant growth, new technologies and boundless innovations. However, there are a few stand out products that live on in legend. These products not only pass the test of time but also help guide the industry’s future.
Following on from last year’s winner - the iconic Lemon Tart by Dinner Lady - we are pleased to present our third Vapouround Hall of Fame inductee...the world-renowned Heisenberg from leading brand Vampire Vape.
Vampire Vape has dominated the global vape sector, with the brand - and its award-winning Heisenberg flavour becoming a household name in the industry.
Developed in 2014 as a limited-edition flavour, it soon became apparent that the demand for Heisenberg was impossible to ignore and it was added to Vampire Vape’s range. It has remained a firm favourite ever since.
MYLÉ
WINNER OF INDUSTRY LEADER
Globally, MYLÉ has become a go-to vape brand for consistency in design, ease of use and quality.
They have helped to set a high global market standard, providing vapers with a premium reduced risk alternative to smoking.
MYLÉ consistently strives to innovate and leads the way in vape technology and function, which is why MYLÉ is the very deserving winner of this year’s Vapouround Awards ‘Industry Leader’.
Pukka Juice - Cherry Blaze
WINNER OF E-LIQUID OF THE YEAR
Since 2017, Pukka Juice has been creating authentic fruit blends to suit every style of vaper.
The global brand continues to go from strength to strength, boasting millions of UK e-liquid sales in the past year alone.
It's no surprise that the brand's award-winning Cherry Blaze flavour - which won ‘Best Fruit’ at the Vapouround Awards in 2021 - was crowned ‘E-Liquid of the Year’ at our 2022 awards ceremony.
John Dunne, Director General of UKVIA
WINNER OF ADVOCATE OF THE YEAR
At the helm of the UK’s biggest vape industry group, the UKVIA, John Dunne has helped guide the nation – and the world – closer than ever to a smoke-free future.
His continued work with politicians and the media means vaping in the UK is increasingly perceived as a power for good, instead of a peer to deadly cigarettes.
And his close ties with some of the biggest names in the industry, as well as his steadfast stance on compliance, allows the vape community to uplift public health and steer smokers towards a lifesaving alternative.
For these reasons – and many more – UKVIA Director General John Dunne is the Vapouround Awards 2022 ‘Advocate of the Year’.
