The Vapers Roundup
Welcome to The Vapers’ Roundup (TVR).
We believe that the mainstream media doesn’t do a good job at covering vaping. There is so much good news out there. The Vapers’ Roundup will consolidate all the vaping news from around the world in one place.
We will not discriminate. We will include anti- and pro-vaping news. Let’s try to make sense of it all together.
We will send the Vapers’ Roundup monthly to our subscribers.
If you get tired of us, just hit the unsubscribe button. We will be sad to see you go but we understand.
Enjoy and let’s save vaping together with facts!
