Hey I have a small Vevor machine and I am very new to this. The floss comes out the top and seems to fly all over the place rather than stick to the side like your machine. Would you know the best way to make floss for bagging on a Vevor machine? Thanks in advance

The Vevor is a verticle release, so you will need to "catch" it as it's coming out, you could also spin on a cone and then remove it from the cone for a bag.

So I make my cotton candy by the cone on a carnaval king cotton candy maker! I've been getting swamped making it by the cone so I'm wanting to pre package some in the plastic containers.

Depends on the sizing of the cones you are making. I would recommend a kitchen scale to weigh out what you are making.

When we make 3 oz of cotton candy it doesn't look like as much as it does in your videos. Is it possible we are doing something wrong?

I love your video! We have two of these machines however we are looking for a better way of packing the cotton candy into the containers, and I can already tell that your system works much better than ours! 🤷‍♂️. We were using a paint stir stick and wrapping it and then grabbing one hand and trying to fit it into the container which it was hard to control hard to get a right amount and very tough to stick it inside the container. Very inconsistent by taking it out with your hands which I did not think was possible makes it easier to judge by hand and pack it easier! Thansk One question, how do you keep the spinner from making too much cotton candy while you’re stuffing the containers?

@spunparadise8823

Turn the heat down, the lower the heat, the slower the cotton candy will come out of the head

You can buy paper sticks for packing. The bags can be screwed to somewhere in the booth and you can use one had to hold open the bag, and the other to put the stick in (rotate stick while doing so). Best flossine flavour is cherry, lemon and blue. You’ll find you like different brands of sugar for blending your own. We liked Lantic sugar.

It's a lot more work to package with a Vivo than a commercial machine. The production is a lot slower and smaller volume, you can "catch" the cotton candy as it comes out of the Vivo, but it is going to take a lot of spins to get a container. Again, totally possible, just a lot more time.

The cotton candy output direction depends on the machine you are using; some machines output vertically as opposed to horizontally. For the Gold Medal Whirlwind we used in the video it has two leather straps on the head that directs the cotton candy horizontally, and we use the bowl netting, both of which assist in production level cotton candy manufacturing. Let us know what machine you have, and we can try to assist further.
