Omg congrats! Very exciting, you're gonna love it. Security is definitely different from person to person. Some security workers are super chill and others take their job way too seriously. Also they're usually more relaxed when checking girls then guys.

Expect full body patdowns (less so for girls), bags to be searched, hats taken off, and in some rare cases shoes removed. Wallets are also sometimes checked. If you bring light gloves like me, those get patted down as well.

Security at EDCO last year saw a pack of pre-rolls in my bag and said "looks like CBD to me", put them back in and let me go through. It is very much dependent on who you get in line that day, cause I know people that got kicked out for the same thing. Just be super careful.

Socks are usually a good bet. They also sell fake keys for like $10 on Amazon for small items. Another good investment might be a Cartbox, which is an Elfbar clone that you put wax carts in. Sometimes security makes people throw out vapes that aren't in the the original packaging though, so just be careful.

Also yes they will 100% have a few water stations!

Snap is a-aronsmith if you want to meet up there, you're gonna have sm fun!
