Vendors...how 'clean' is your prep area?

[ZT]

Off topic, but i saw ZT is manabush, and since manabush made the only other good banana juice ive tried other than the most recent one ive tried (bananza shake, its basically banana yazoo and amazing), just wondered if you had a banana milkshake juice? And all vendors here, any of you do small sample packs? Im pissed off spending money on juices i dont like, but when i find one i do like i end up buying shit loads...
Also, with this ridiculous TPD bullshit coming in, is it going to illegal to sell say a 100ml bottle of juice if its paid for through a non goods payment as a "gift" or sample etc?

we dont have a banana milkshake that is a bit out of our perview

we do have a non tobacco version (a more cakey base) version of the Nanabozho though in the Spiritwalker range

Where is the best place to get it mate? And do you do sample packs of the whole range? I loved a banana one from manabush a while back i think number 2 or 4 in a collection set at ecigwizard when i started vaping.

I'm still aching from the last one

Use more VG.

I must admit that I'm wondering how other vendors are getting on now....this thread has been going for a while....

I know that @PlumeBlu put some pics up on Facebook of his new premises, and they look pretty awesome to....

So....please feel free to tag a few vendors [emoji4]

@aerovape

I'll have to take a few more pics as I've just checked my phone but don't have any current ones to hand.

That being said were having a partition wall built at the moment where we are hoping to get the labelling machine setup.

In the meantime, here's what I do every day. Sat on a seat of a million quid in fivers..

Oh and an early cleanroom shot as we were moving flavours in. There's approximately 4 racks of flavours and 3 racks of our mixed concentrates or finished product.

You can just make out the large ULPA air filter in the top right. We've huge dual steel ducts in the ceiling that are placed ready for hepa ffu systems.

Other than that it's all steel worktops, six in total and the steel pot wash. We've got double entry with double glazed doors and then pvc curtain so it's kitted out ok.

Or it will be once that party wall is finished and it's back to normal

Just plain ballin, boats and hoes...

One full rack each per flavour supplier, unless its very niche and we only carry small amounts.

Ceiling was fitted along with plastics and waterproof electrics. The two missing panels are where the ceiling hepa filters will sit and above that we've got ducting to take fresh air from outside, across the building and in to the room.

The ceiling has 16 x led flush panel lights so it's mega bright and clinical.

To say it's a decent sized room is an understatement. 16m long and 6m wide

The first work benches fitted, we've got a touchscreen all in one pc, label printers and a sound system all around that area now though.
That shot is a year old I guess as are the other cleanroom shots I posted as it was when we moved to the new HQ

I'll try and get some current shots when I can. Just the racks of our mixed concentrates alone is an impressive sight.

Oh fuck me.......that is.....that Is.....well....that's amazing

It's not bad, not perfect by a long shot but this is the second cleanroom we've setup and actually the first was overkill so it's been installed to be upgraded as we need more filtration etc.

The main unit we use is capable of 1500m3 but as we wanted very clean air it's run slower on a much smaller space.

Im not sure if this is the first time I've ever put pics of it on here as I stopped frequenting the forum as much a while back. I know others that know me personally have seen shots or the room itself but I never wanted to willy wave with the space we have.

For me it's about having an area we can store and mix securely in good conditions. Always has been since we first setup 4 years ago.

Its a great bit of kit but its very loud, i have to put my bob marley CD up to volume 40 to drown the sound out. Other than that its great, really need to sit down and work or put the stand on some type on platform to higher it up a little.

Im 6ft 3 so it may just be me lol.

When i got the flow cabinet, i had about 5k to sink into it. Was either the flow cabinet or a softwall cleanroom, the reason why i went for the cabinet was because theres no need to full on "gown up" which i can imagine is a pain in the arse if you need to whip out and get another concentrate or something.

The cabinet allows you to be a bit more flexible, gloves and a lab coat is fine [emoji2]

Full gowns are a pain in the arse hairnets and beard snoods even more so but my biggest ballache is overshoes so I bought some steel toecap white cleanroom only footwear instead.

Those filters are all noisy though, I can remember trying mine for the first time and thinking it's like working next to a jet engine.

Needs must though, as you say yiu just crank up the tunes

Certainly shocked me, i actually rang the guys at air science up and made them listen to it down the phone, just to check it sounded right [emoji23][emoji23]

Also, i have no idea why because i knew the dimensions before i ordered it, when it arrived i was seriously shocked by how big and heavy the thing was! Weighs a bloody tonne!

I think @ZT is actually producing VX nerve agent for export to N. Korea in that room.
