Cool idea, I'd sign up for something like that.
Or to be a "taste tester" before juices get put up for sale, stuff like that. Membership fees could cover shipping.

It would be so perfect, I got my eGo today and am now realizing I've got a lot of juice to try before I find one I'm going to use as my daily one. How could I propose the idea to a site/distributor?
I would just email them directly. Write up a proposal about how it would work and hit up every vendor on the forum's list until you get one that bites.
What do you guys think?
Say you got 2 random 10ML and a 30ML "refill" of a flavor you constantly use. Maybe you get a package weekly/bi-weekly.

Weekly is too often and probably not cost effective when shipping is taken into account. I would think a few samples per month would be a more cost effective route. I'm trying to think of what benefits there would be over simply buying a few sample sized bottles (that most vendors offer) every time you place your normal order?
Maybe if they offered a 3 month pre-paid refill option for your standard flavor with a few very small (say 3ml) samples for free. Could also go with a 50% of the 3 month fee up front with the rest billed at recurring intervals. They benefit by locking in a customer for several months and getting money up front and you benefit by getting the free samples. They could allow you to log into your account and change what your refill flavor is for the next shipments. You could also add on additional products with no shipping to be included with the next shipment. I would also think there should be an option to select a catagory of flavors... fruit, candy, sodas, tobac, deserts, etc.

Great ideas DaDuke, I think if we keep brainstorming here someone will pick up this idea. And maybe give all the contributor's a free few months, or year!
The main use I see for an idea like this is being able to convert a lot of analog smokers because you could buy someone a starter kit, sign them up for the juice of the month club and they would not have to deal with finding a good site to buy from and all the other headaches that go along with e-cig's only being available online.

I checked it out and yes they do BUT it's $15 per month (free shipping) for 20 ml and you have to order it every month. Considering i can get samples of 5-7.5ml for about $3 or 50ml from madvapes at $11 or $12 i dont see the point.
The more i think about this the more benefits i see for a vendor to do this right. Lets say you vape 30ml every 2 weeks and the avg price you normally pay is $12 per 30 ml. That would be $72 total value over a 3 month period as a potential cusomer with 3 x $5 shipping fee's for 3 monthly shipments($87 final cost). But we all know many of us are fickled and switch vendors regularly so any 1 vendor will not realize that full value from you.
Now lets say joining the club offers you 30ml every 2 weeks along with 2 free 3ml samples but send them first class instead of priority to equal out the shipping cost to the vendor. They charge an inital fee of $35 with 2 recurring payments of $26 (the same $87 over 3 months you wold've spent counting shipping) BUT you get the free samples as well as getting your juice every 2 weeks instead of once monthly. Tell me we're not addicted to the thrill of getting the packages in the mail
This would be an attractive offer and once signed up, who would cancel the remaining 2 months since the value increases for those 2 months for the customer. The vendor is only out the cost of 36ml (12 x 3ml samples) but he has locked in a customer for 3 months and sold 180ml of liquid at normal price. Many vendors already send a 5-10ml free sample sporatically so this should make good biz sense to a vendor. But it gets better...
They also have it set up so if you log in by a certain date you can change the 30ml flavor to be shipped next as well as the category of samples which would eliminate the apprehension of being locked into a certain flavor for 3 months as well as getting types of samples that have little value to you. The clincher is that most people will need a new atty or carts or some infernal new toy in that 3 month period. Since you can add that to your next shipment with free shipping (since shipping would be included in the price of the club) most people would simply buy it from them.
Lol, they should even have "special offers" plastered all over the customer account screen to temp us into an impulse buy while we're changing our next shipments flavor. Hmmm, this is starting to sound like a proposal pitch
Edit: Hell, they could charge a little bit extra for gold club members which would include an additional free sample per shipment, access to private special offers and a % discount on all additional purchases. Ok thats's it... sign me up!!!
