I built Hotbox — we place premium high-ticket vending machines stocked with vapes and collectible cards all over the United States. I also teach other people how to build the same thing, and I document the whole climb in public. Everything I'm building lives right here.

The Process
Four steps from first conversation to a machine that's live and earning.
Discovery & Fit
We look at your market, your venues, and your goals to see if Hotbox is a strong match — and which lane (operate, host, or learn) fits you best.
Custom Setup
We build your product mix — vapes, cards, or both — and configure the machine and software around the venues you're placing in.
Seamless Install
Machines arrive ready to run. We handle logistics, setup, and the first stock end to end — you don't touch a supplier.
Live & Earning
Your machines go live. From there it runs lean — you keep an eye on the numbers while the route does the work, with support on call.
Earnings Calculator
Drag the sliders to model a route. Numbers update live.
Estimates only. Figures assume an illustrative ~30% net operator margin and will vary with your locations, product mix, and costs. This is not a guarantee or projection of income.
Burning Questions

It's built to run lean. Most of the work is securing strong locations up front — once machines are placed, the day-to-day is light.
