Hi all, I popped into ecigarettedepot.co.uk local B&M store today to pick up some juice concentrate and was having a quick chat with Paul the owner when he told me some news which I think is very positive for all of us. He's managed to secure a sponsorship deal with a top darts player Dean Winstanley. With all the negative and mostly untrue exposure the vaping and ecigarette community has been receiving I feel Paul deserves a pat on the back for sticking his neck out and his hand in his pocket to secure a deal like this. Darts is now a huge business with lots of television exposure but when players are not competing in major big money tournaments they have quite a big exhibition comittment around the pub and club scene. Hopefully this extra exposure will lead to people visiting Pauls site and in turn looking at the bigger more positive picture that vaping represents, something that I mentioned to Paul and he agreed with and hopes for. I do enjoy darts but don't have a player in particular that I watch but now I'll be keeping an eye out for Dean Winstanley. I've already googled him and had a read and theres very high hopes for him as he sits just outside the elite top 32 in the world, he's also a former BDO number 1 ranked player. I hope other members see this the way I do as an avid sports fan knowing how big the industry is I just think it can't be anything other than a good thing. I've popped a link below to the official announcement. www.ecigarettedepot.co.uk/store/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=9Jay.

Bit of a thread revival but Dean Winstanley is playing tonight in the second round of The PDC World Championships. I watched him last week in the first round, he played some great darts, or that's my uneducated opinion. The commentator said it was the best match he'd seen in the tournament to that point so I can't be far wrong. Dean is a vaper as seen in ecigarettedepotpaul 's avatar with his MVP2 so I for one am a fan on that basis alone Paul is at the venue himself suporting Dean ................ Deeeeeeaaaaaannnnnno ! Sky sports tonight anyway on whatever service you use Jay

Watched it earlier JayJDidn't see any patches on his shirt though. Perhaps there's a limit on the number they can have in front of the cameras. Did well and through to the next round
