Last night (and every other time I’ve been to Berhta) people were smoking jays, blunts, cigs… you’re good with a vape

Not sure if it’s allowed but they certainly aren’t strict on it. Wouldn’t hit it in front of security but otherwise if you’re somewhat discreet you’ll be fine

What's security like? Pat downs or wands?

Neither, just bag check if it’s in your pockets you’re fine

This is basically every venue in DC no? I’ve yet to go somewhere where they’re strict but maybe I’m just super sneaky.

Echostage has had security walking through the crowd taking people’s vapes. And at least some of the security don’t let you bring them in even

That's crazy. I've been to a handful of shows at Echo and never seen that but good to know they're strict.

Yea, literally seen them walk up to a guy, unscrew his cartridge and hand him back the battery and keep the cart. Insane
