Vessel Brand Innovation for Canna Consumption #159

I know some people are skeptical, but I believe in love at first sight. I had this very experience at MJUnpacked when I visited the Vessel Brand booth. It was there I spied a finely crafted pipe, made of anodized aluminum with a finely machined brass bowl. When I picked it up, felt the heft in my hand, and discern the details of the machining, I knew I had to have it. And just like that, Vessels made a sale.

The next day I met Nick Gadsby from sales and he agreed to dive deep into sharing details about the pipe I purchased and other innovations Vessel Brand is inventing for cannabis consumption. I'm excited about my purchase use it regularly, and share it with all I meet.

According to Vessel, they strive for perfection and ways to engineer the "perfect" product. With the momentum built since its launch in 2018, they've been working to bring forth new innovations, and new designs to set new industry standards which is their ultimate goal.

Innovations in Pre-Roll Technology #158

At MJUnpacked last month. I met Mae, the tradeshow manager for DaySavers who introduced me to some innovative technologies when it came to the production of cannabis smoke products. One product was so innovative, I bought one. In this conversation, Mae walks us through all the products. Companies like Daysavers symbolize innovation, ingenuity, and the power of creating something better, even in a competitive or crowded field like cannabis.
