it was, the oil was probably a little too thin for the hardware. I think the manufacturers could make an overflow cavity in the silicone pretty easily though

Wednesday was great, but you can feel how thursday and friday slowed down. The booths way on the back or the walls were sad most days and can see how the show sucked for them. I printed a badge that was like 38,000 so there were lots of people registered. Some people complain that many attendees are visitors from vendors, which is true but nonetheless those people are usually great leads.
We had a great year because our tec was innovative and well received. The work paid off. We also had a good location.
Next year will suck even more, as the floor plan has big booths on the main halls and by the entrance. The result of this is that small booths will be at the fringes and will see even less traffic. Our location next year just sucks and am already dissapointed. Anyone want to do a 10x30 with us?

yeah clogging mostly. the center post has small apertures (intake holes) and them being on the side of a vertical post has always been dumb to me.
Without the post, they have one big porous cavity at the bottom of the tank so you gravity helps get allllll the oil out and less risk of clogging.

I’ve worked with BBTank for a long time, I love those guys. We do more packaging like mylars and shit through them. I do have some of those Glo pod v2 samples coming though. the first version tasted terrible though. way too hot.
I’ve heard of bud tank but I don’t think I’ve tried their Noah hardware. good to know, thank you!

Figure out how to incorporate a chiller and get Huber to put you in their booth

BTW, I tried some hash made with this and it was ridiculously fire.
I got some good leads myself. But one thing was hard to ignore, the huge proliferation of people selling packaging… Maybe next year they should be shoved into their own hall, it was like half the processing hall.

packaging and vape hardware lol. had to make up at least 50-60 booths.

I think even that might be understating it. Pretty much everything after the stairs was either vapes, packaging, or edible ingredients.

I agree, they should have designated areas for processing, packaging, and vape. It was still really hodge podge despite cultivation being separated.
yeah, forreal. on the app they had it all divided into sections n shit, but then you got on the floor and it just seemed like cultivation was all in the north hall and then the main hall, everything was just scattered everywhere.

Most out of place vendor was the guy selling kits for the home user to open and reclaim the last drops of oil from their carts.

I didn’t see that booth, was it any more elegant than this?

That would have been so useful back in my testing lab days. Getting oil out of carts to run potency on was a pain in the ass!

That wasn’t his target audience. He used heat and gravity.
Didn’t grok “have you considered turning gravity up?”

I just got an email offering the attendees list for this year. It lists 12,870 as the number of attendees. If that list doesn’t include anyone that has a vendor pass, I could believe 20,000 total people.
It felt very light on days 2 and 3. Day one was acceptable traffic.

Wow. That seems extremely low compared to some year I’ve been. Last year looked pretty low compared to a lot of years. Can’t imagine what this year looked like.
There has to be much more efficient ways to showcase your products at this point.
