We’re back with our Nervape Recaps! This past Q1 and Q2 we were super busy with our Nervape launch, so we decided to condense our recaps into the half year recap below. Moving forward we will release mini, bi-weekly updates as well as longer, quarterly recaps, so look out for those!
Q1 2024 saw us prepare our Nervape collection leading to it’s successful launch in Q2! We also had a number of amazing collabs, Spaces, and much more. Let’s take a look at what we did these past 6 months and a sneak peek into what we have planned for the future.
