When I reflect on what True North Vapor was two years ago and do a side by side comparison to today, there are some interesting and staggering differences, despite being very similar at its core.  I think the first thing that most onlookers might point out would be the sheer number of brands we now carry as well as their origin. Two years ago, we had eight brands in our catalogue that we had developed and produced: Gold Seal, Gold Seal Max VG, Vaped Goods, Cold Snap, Shaman, Blackpool Reserve, Loyal Vape and Mod Sauce.  Shortly after that, we also...

Back in February, we introduced Kellie Anne Forbes and VAEP, the Vaping Advocacy and Education Project. We were very impressed by how much work she had put into her not-for-profit education corporation, and how much she cares for the vaping community.   Today, I wanted to introduce VAEP’s next development; an online and interactive program called the VAEPology Learning Centre. They have a short video explaining how it works:   So, who is this really for?       Vapers who want to know more about what they’re breathing in     Smokers who are considering the switch and haven’t...

José and I started chatting late last spring/early summer about his Dripping Sour lines, as well as the RA lines that him and an old partner had created.  At this point in time, I hadn’t even tried the product.  Nick from DVine Labs, who specializes in knowing the success or potential success of international brands, had suggested that we take a serious look into Dripping Sour.  Skitzo in particular had shown some amazing promise in the US market, so after working out a few of the finer details, we scheduled a launch date in Canada. With all the products we...
