Tried it saw their videos thought they were douches but figured what the hell, got the box and it was full of crap mostly grape and I hate grape and I mean hate, even put that in the thing when I signed up
I've gotten a juice once that was described as a sugar cookie but tasted like what wet dog smells like.

See now that is the thing combine that with most of the things said in here and all I can say is I wish I would have asked before dropping 25 bucks on what amounted to crap the idea behind it is good but yeah I will never do it again.

im thinking of trying the online zamplebox e-liquid service but i read some negative things about it on a reddit search. has anyone here tried it, feedback?
Go with a company like fuggin vapor they have deals where you can get like 600ml of their juice for 60 bucks or broke dick they sell 240ml for 23 bucks. Broke dick has really decent flavors and I actually worked with them as a beta tester to develop the overdraft flavor which is a vanilla caramel tobacco flavor. Another that is really good is You-got-ejuice they sell 120ml bottles for 21-23 bucks and their strawberry custard is outstanding. I had a friend that used zamplebox and quit because he was paying 60 a month for 180ml and could get more for less through other vendors

It's a terrible deal now. It used to be worth the money, but now you're required to have their wholesale membership. So your box of 3 juices is only worth 9 bucks but you're paying 20 for it.

The wholesale membership isn't bad though. If you go through enough juice a month to warrant the 9.99 a month sub, the savings on the juice are decent.

I've been a member for four months now and other than the very first box (which seemed to be a real shot in the dark) I can say I've had some really good experiences with them. The longer you stay a member, the more juices you can choose for yourself. Keep in mind, you have to be active with them in terms of giving star reviews and using their flavor "like/do not like" choices to weed out the risk of getting something you really didn't want. After a while the metrics of my interactions made for better juices arriving. I like the mystery of getting a juice I would have otherwise not known about, but I'm only willing to do that because I've made it very clear in their system what I don't want. A few years ago their method was probably not as accurate as it is now.

Instead of letting some company pick your juice why not look at some of the threads here on the forum relating to juice vendors and see if they have sample packs where for a few $$ you get to sample a variety of juices in a flavor profile that appeals to you.

Zamplebox no longer chooses for me unless I leave them the option to. With each month that you are subscribed, you get another bottle to choose on your own. By next month I can choose all six of mine.

As long as my preferences and ratings are in the algorithm, the surprise juices Zamplebox has sent me have been curated well. And I admit, I like the surprise. That's why subscription boxes of all kinds are considered fun.

I do buy juices from other sources though and love that this forum has so much information to work with. I'm always looking for that next favorite juice, so I'm not married to Zamplebox. I just like them.

I also am learning DIY juice making.

They have never sent me anything that was on my "Do Not Like" list. It makes me wonder if their program/programmers have recently gotten better? Grape makes me feel sick too, blarf.

I just got my first box in. I didn't like most of the flavors, some were down right nasty. There was one I really enjoyed and probably never would have found it otherwise. I'm still on the fence and will probably try it for 6 months to see how it goes. Price isn't bad compared to buying in town or other places online...

My first delivery wasn't that great either. It took some tweaking of my liked/unliked flavors in their system and also doing star reviews. After that I started getting more of what I really liked. They recommend not disliking more than 10 flavors, but I disregarded that. I have a lot of stuff I don't like. :lol:

christlyh8. I never understood why they recommend you dont dislike more than 10 flavors...If every bottle is categorized, then it should be better for you in theory right....That is IF they categorize every bottle they get..

Was with them for two years... I would only add fruit flavors to the "like" list, and everything else would be added to the "dislike" list. They would send me the same brands alot...and even a few repeatss...Not really what I expected given ALL the different brands they have...I didnt even see more than 5% of them in the two years I was with them. Something screwy in the algorithm I think...Also one time they sent me a box of crap that was in my dislike list, but they are cool ppl and let you send it back....Also when I canceled they sent me a box and charged me again which I didnt like too much...There is/was some glitch in their system where stuff wouldn't save once you hit the save button.....One good thing about them is that you can choose to get the same bottle again next month if you like it...I would recommend them but dont expect to see all the brands they have advertised. If you like variety then its good..

From what I understand, a lot about their algorithm has improved in the last 6 months. When they first started out, I read reports of clients getting the exact same juice twice in the same box and such. They have definitely been working out some flaws.
