Vape Monthly Subscription Services.....opinions needed!!

[Pugs1970]

Calling all vapers!...I would genuinly like to know if anyone has any good or bad things to say about monthly subscription services, I am currently starting to try them out and any information I can find online seems to be outdated, there are a plethora of companies out now offering 'premium' juice delivered for a saving and the oppertunity to try out new flavours.
I am based in the UK so unfortunatley paying for shipping from the states puts most of the better known subscription services in the 'uneconomical' list for me although I have just done 2 months with Vape-a-box (not Vape-box, USA) these are a relitively new company offering various juice/juice & mods packages, to be honest I have found both months to be very lacklustre, great packaging, prompt delivery (for me as they are UK based) but out of the 5 bottles I have had both months I had only heard of 1, the first month all the flavours were similar and in the 2nd month they were better varied flavour wise but the 4 bottles I had never heard of I couldn't find a single scrap of information for....anywhere...that worries me slightly, I like better known premium juice companies not 'never heard of ya' outfits.
I have cancelled the subscription as even though it is in the UK I pay £34.95 for around 90ml delivered, that really only saves me a fiver for the inconvenience of having juices that I wouldn't of bought and will prob use as 'fillers' for a couple of rediculously strong menthol flavours I have.
I jhave just subscribed to a Canadian company called Fresh Air, can't comment as clearly have only just signed up, but they are offering free international shipping and with the present Canadian dollar to pound it cost me £18 for 105ml...delivered :-/ If this works out then It could very well be a winner as i have heard good things about there choice of juices.
So...any other little tit-bits of information out there in this cloudy universe of loveliness that anyone can throw my way? also information on any new 'mind blowing' juices that anyone has discovered would also be very well recieved

I started zample box last month and my first box was great. The liquids were really nice. Currently waiting on my next one to come. You can go on there site and pick flavours you like and flavours you dislike so you don't end up with a box of stuff you hate. There is 3 different box options. I have the platinum which is 11 bottles between 120ml and 180ml for around £28

I'm not in the UK (Although I've visited, does that count?) but I also have a Zamplebox subscription that I've been pleased with. Since I joined, I think I've only received five bottles that I simply didn't like. The rest varied (for me, of course) from good to very good, with perhaps 25% that I would judge excellent.

I have no vaping subscriptions. But from other experience (coffee if you insist) any subscription does not meet expectations. You can buy what you want, not that somebody wants to sell you.

yeah I was tempted by Zamplebox but last time i looked I think there was a pretty heavy shipping charge, im not sure I'll have to check it out agin Thanks!

yeah I know your right, but what worries me is that these companies are using the subscription front to offload un sellable juices to unsuspecting customers, certainly what it felt like with Vape-a-box anyway, there's no way anyone would knowingly buy the juices i got in the last box :-S

I wouldn't say that with zample box they have some really top brands in there boxes. I had liquids in my box I would go out and buy. I like the fact of getting a surprise box filled with e liquids. There's ones I would never look to buy and have found them really nice

What I think about Vaping subscriptions is "not a lot".

I'll take my chances.

yes i am trying not to get to down heartened purely on the back of 2 bad months with a dodgy company, I am still willing to try a few others out, I do like the idea of discovering new flavours

One of the big reasons I went with a subscription service is that at the beginning, I would place an e-liquid order at least once a week, mostly samples from different vendors. It really got to be like homework, keeping track of what vendors I tried, which of their flavors I purchased, PG/VG ratios, extra flavor shots, reading through descriptions and reviews, and looking for new vendors to hit up next.

Now I just sit back and wait for the e-liquid to come to me.
