The FUMI x Cloud Nurdz collaboration brought the vibes adult users craved without a little twist: their booth, minus their vapes, added a whole extra layer of fun with a Mystery Box giveaway, exclusive merch, and a retro claw-machine where rave-goers could test their skills and win even more prizes.
FUMI, known for their ready-to-use disposable vape devices made for adult users who want something easy, sleek, and full of flavor in one smooth platinum black device along with Cloud Nurdz, known for bold fruit and sweet-treat-inspired blends like Peach Blue Razz, added that playful, colorful, tangy-sweet personality–in spirit–that felt right at home under the festival lights. It didn’t matter that they couldn’t sell the product, their merch giveaways became a highlight of the event.
Between the music, the lights, the crowd, and the booth energy, FUMI x Cloud Nurdz felt like a natural part of the weekend. It was bold, bright and just a ton of fun.
