A Community Event in 2014
In June 2014, Spinfuel reported on TasteFest, a local gathering in Indianapolis that brought together readers, retailers, and independent makers during an energetic period for vape culture. The event was built around the community’s interest in discovering products and meeting one another in person.
The original report took the form of a long interview with an organizer. It described a packed evening, a local turnout, and the practical work behind hosting an early community event. It also showed Spinfuel’s role at the time as a publication whose reviews and awards were part of a wider conversation among readers and businesses.
What Has Been Removed
The original named participating businesses and products, discussed retail selection and promotions, described giveaways and sales, and included product-use details. Those elements are historical and have been removed. They should not be read as current recommendations, product information, or commercial claims.
Why Preserve It?
TasteFest captures a small but real moment in Spinfuel’s early history: publishing was not limited to pages on a screen. The magazine also helped document the local communities that formed around a fast-changing industry. That social history belongs in the Spinfuel Chronicles.
