Sorry to say this, but I don't get the whole sample box idea. I love going to the vape shop, trying out juices, b.s.'ing and talking vape with the employees and other patrons. You just can't get that from a box. JMHO
There really arent alot of vape shops nearby - so online is the way for me to go at the moment. But that does sound nice

I would love to do that, but the employees at all of the B&Ms I've been to in my area have been d*ckwads, making bsing really difficult. Plus, I'm generally antisocial, even though I work retail. I'm just so tapped out on people when I'm off work that the less interaction I have to have with other human beings, the better. Haha.
I think we all get that way as we grow older - sometimes people are just downright annoying! lol

I don't get the sample box idea, either. While I love trying new manufacturers and juices, I always have 2 or 3 of my go-to juices on hand. Many times i've experimented - just like everybody here - only to end up tossing a nasty juice in the garbage after 2 or 3 pulls.
The idea of somebody feeding me a box of unknown stuff every month, although at a lower price, does not attract me at all. I'd rather have my ADV's and venture out when there are sales and promos, than sign up for a service like this. This, to me, is like Netflix sending me movies every month without me asking for them.
Can't do it with something so subjective... Even if these guys fed me only Halo and 5P, which are two of my favorites, I still have flavors that I don't like from them.
I think thats part of my problem though - I dont have favorite ADVs. I have a couple I like ok - but they are too sweet for all the time, and my mouth is starting to get achy form them. I think the reason I like this idea is because I honestly dont even know what to try. Paying $4 a bottle for someone else to round up a bunch of juices form a bunch of different companies, seems great to me. I got to pick flavors I absolutely dont want, and flavors I think I will like, but honestly - I've only tried a few kinds I tried raspberry which I thought I would love (since its one of my favorites in food), I didnt like it, but I put it 3 extra flavor shots and afterwards found out thats probably why it tasted like medicine, any way I guess whats so appealing is I have been spending so much time looking for companies and reading up on companies, and checking what other people say about flavors and trying to find the best ofs and yada yada, I would like a break from all that! lol

I'm not sure I'm very happy with Zamplebox. The first box was fantastic. I upped from 6 bottles to 11.
My second box sucked, Bad! I filled out the flavor profile completely. My box last month was 80% heavy cinnamon. I don't like cinnamon that much. I likely will be throwing out the 11 out of 11 bottles.
The flavors are just not appealing to me at all.
I dropped down to 6 bottles this month. If they aren't fantastic, I will drop Zamplebox completely.
I ordered late in the month spur of the moment. I tried to explain to them that and get my billing date changed closer to the 1st of the month.
That turned into a nightmare. I had to cancel, then resubscribe, re-fill out the flavor profile, which I did. I started exactly on the 1st. Just to find out the way there computer works I might get billed on the 31st. Exactly what I was trying to avoid.
I'm not happy with them about that at all. I emailed them again, they said they would change the billing date to the 3rd, which they have not done.
That's worrisome, I ordered this morning so I would be billed on the 4th every month, I wont have a surprise bill, if they charge me early I will cancel. I have all that .... planned out pretty specifically, I dont like variables when it comes to money!
I saw that you need to cancer and resubscribe if you want to change the billing date - to me - it didnt sound like a big deal - but I guess it could be. I wrote down all my likes and dislikes (I wanted to show friends what can be picked), so it would just be annoying not terrible if I had to do it all again.
I'm hoping they give a good variety - I am open to new things so I dont think I will be disappointed. They cant do much worse then I've been doing on my own. I've only liked 4 out of 26, that I chose for myself!

Pros
Variety - Get to try different Brands you may not have heard of.
Variety - Get to try different flavour combinations that you would not have selected usually.
Price - Cheaper than buying bottles individually.
Regular new juices - Don't have to worry about ordering (after initial setup).


Cons
Stab in the dark - No better success rate than randomly selecting juices yourself.
Curator - Person selecting juices for you does not know everything that turns your stomach, no matter how specific you think you have been.
Curator - At the mercy of the curator. Lazy = all similar juices or does not read your likes and dislikes.



I was a subscriber to Craft Vapery for a while and I found that despite it being a premium service it was still no more likely to guarantee getting juices that I liked. Unless someone shares the exact same taste as you and knows the whole range of juices inside out it is unlikely for you to get a whole box of juices that taste great to you. Obviously the more picky you are the less likely it will be worthwhile (my problem).

Craft Vapery was pretty good at sorting things out though, for example, I complained about the juices that I found unvapeable (rather than just meh) and to make things right they sent me some more juices (free of charge!).
Through their service I did find a few juices that I loved and would not have picked them out myself, so I am thankful for that.
I will sign up again at some point, probably when I am looking to try new things, but for now I am happy with the juices I have.

IF you know the exact juices you want to try (eg Strawberry Custards/Creams) and nothing else then you will probably be better off waiting for a sale at one of the large vendors (that carry multiple brands - Giant vapes etc) and just ordering from them juices that fit the flavour profile.

Yea, I am thinking the same thing. I think in the beginning it will be great - it will let me try things that I didnt even know existed without spending hours searching for things. I am very picky too and so far have a very poor record at picking for myself, lol, so I'm thinking this will be good for me. $45/month for 11 bottles, still only equals less than HALF of what I spent a WEEK for cigarettes.

I told myself that until I get this all down and know what I like and have the equipment that suits e - that I am going to put aside what I would have spent on cigarettes for it ($100 a week), so I have room to mess up right now. Thanks for the input!!

My first Breazy box shipped today! I'm excited to see what I get.

I'm avoiding Zamplebox like the plague. They've just had entirely too many issues in the past (hard to cancel, billing issues, trying to pass off their house brand as other stuff) for me to trust them. I considered Craft Vapery, but I figured that I'd go ahead and spring for Breazy since you get at least other 15ml for $5 more. Plus Breazy has impressed me with their customer service, so I'd like to support them.

One of the company guy's sent an email a few weeks ago. They just started a system where you rate the juices in the box you get, so they can better figure out what to send in the next boxes.
They noticed I didn't rate any of them. So I responded last night and told him about the 80% cinnamon. He apologized and said he would look into to try to make sure that doesn't happen again.
Also offered to send some other juice bottles to make up for all the bad ones.
I told him I'm trashing all the bottles too, and I am.
Also they moved my billing date to the 3rd of the month as they said they would last month.
I will give them a chance to make up, and tell other's if they make good on this all.

I'm just happy I tried Vape Wild. They have some good juices for the prices they charge. I know a couple flavors will become staples in my stock, lol.
Glad I learned about crafty vapes too!

Well it sounds like they are really trying to turn around their customer service - thats a really good thing to know! I mean you didnt even contact them - they contacted you because you didnt fill out the "what did you like / dislike? survey!!
I hope they turn out to be good, out of all of them I looked at, they meet the criteria of what I want out of a subscription service the most.

No prob! :) I'll keep you updated on what I get.
Like I wanted to select "Best Sellers" - but I cant stand any mint/menthol juices and that would be a waste. So if you select best sellers - do they only send the best selling juices that meet the flavors you did select that you like?

Their flavor profile set up is a bit confusing - to me - obviously, lol!!

Thanks!! I looked at their website and they didnt have a way to select what you dont like. Do they ONLY send you items from your "liked" flavors?

Not sure. I kind of took it as they assume you don't like the flavours you didn't check. I'm sure you can email them if you REALLY dont like something (their customer service is great), or you can check surprise if you may want to try flavours that you didn't check occasionally.

You could always pop onto their site real quick. They have a chat function for customer service. Might be quicker than sending an email. I'd do it for you to confirm, but I'm at work and my phone is garbage and doesn't handle things like that well :p
They responded with this:
We are looking into making the preferences for picking juices more efficient, until then you can tell me what edits you would like to add into the preferences for your order and I will update it for you. I said I needed to think on it and he replied - ok, when you figure it out you can email me at ***@Breazy.com containing your order number and the edits to your preferences and we will apply them to your next order

So I think you can get a little specific, but I think I will wait until they come up with the better flavor profile, I prefer to just set it up and forget about it, lol! I don't want to send an email every month. But it seems like they do have good customer service and they were receptive to making personal changes to it

Nice! I don't have anything that I HATE (that I've come across yet), so I didn't email any edits to my flavour profile. I'm super excited to see what I get! Should be here on Saturday.
