So true - it's a waste of a cute bottle complete with a separately-wrapped dropper and all. I tried it in the Nov. box and got so sick.

If they made a 6mg juice I'd be fine with it, but they dont. You just don't put 18mg juices in box's that are all supposed to be 6mg.

Im goin to have to carefully check every bottle this time around. The JC in the Dec box caught me off guard for sure... Lol

They seem to have mostly fruit flavors with some mint, menthol, and tobacco thrown in for good measure. I prefer dessert flavors and haven't gotten a whole lot of those yet. It really depends on the brand and what their flavors consist of.

Ok I'm almost on board lol

For those who have been with them what is their repeat juice flavor rate

I'm out I guess till they allow a way to option out of certain types of liquids such as tobacco or mint would be a waste cause I can't stand either at all

i can't believe they aren't letting people choose their nic level. that is ridiculous. i don't want to vape above or below 12mg.
It's a service that you choose to opt into. You are getting juices are far below they're retail value and it's a relatively easy way to try new flavors. They are working on getting more nic levels but obviously it is a logistical nightmare without nic preferences, how bad would it be with them? ZampleBox is a relatively new company, give them some time before you open your mouth.

They have a lot of logistical nightmares to solve as is why add another. You don't have to subscribe if you don't like the service

On top of that the juice you get is from suppliers 2 nic levels was probably a pain to convince suppliers to give out as part of the box let alone a complete ala cart of nic levels.

If you want that buy it from the supplier and quit complaining

They are offering an 18 mg. option this month according to their emails and FB. According to the email they sent us, use THIS invitation code to sign up for the 18 mg. option: 52a66f3a060ab

I'm a member now. I tried to use this code just in case you got any bonus or kick back... but the code didn't work, had to use pbusardo
even though I choose the 6mg nic level. I can't wait.... I'm blowing the vape budget early this month, I'm down $80 today and its not even 6pm yet! LMAO!

Geez. Give the guy some time to get things worked out. Their has only been 2 Zamplebox releases so far. Nov was a mixture of different nic level. Dec was 6mg plus 1 stupid 18mg JC and now for January you have a choice between 6 and 18mg. Who knows what options will be available for Feb.

If your desired nic level isn't an option yet, dont subscribe yet and inform them on Facebook of what kind of option/s you would like. That's why the Dec box turned into a 6mg box and that's how Jan became an option. Because 6 and 18 were the most asked for.

a logistical nightmare to have one juice with 3 nic options? maybe for your intellectual level, but it's actually extremely simple. Maybe zamplebox has had absolutely no business experience in the past.

They're not "far below" retail value. It's an ok deal to try new vendors one might not be familiar with but it's not a steal. Let's not get carried away here.

As 12mg is the most popular level for smokers who quit a year ago or less, I agree it's "ridiculous" to only offer 6 and 18.
My first box. For the liquids that are not sold in the same sizes as what's in the box, we'll divide the price to match the lower volume (which is less than what they would cost if the size was sold). We're also going to ignore any shipping costs, as obviously ordering from a dozen vendors would raise the overall shipping significantly versus the one shipping fee from zample, and shipping varies from location to location. You could have also picked these flavors up at a B&M.

G2 Vapor - Vazilla $11 (30ml/2)
Alpha Vape - Miss White $11 (30ml/2)
503 - Apple Pie $12.50
Clever Vape - Nirvana $9
Potion Vape - More Plum $10.95
Alpha Vape - Manchu $11 (30ml/2)
503 - Sarsaparilla $12.50
Golden Drops - Strawberry Daiquiri Can't find a price for this one, lets leave it out of the total.
Johnson Creek Red Oak - Island $3.32 (15ml/3)
Roar Vapor - Love Potion $3.25 (11ml/2)
Totally Wicked - Patriot Range $4 (10ml/2)
Rocket Fuel Vapes - Harley's Blend Tobacco $3.25 (10ml/2)
Mt Baker Vapor - Hawk Sauce $4 (15ml/1.5)

Total Cost: $92.52
Keep in mind this value would be higher if the vendors offered these size bottles because they would cost more than the reduced value of the larger size.
ZampleBox Cost: $40 (now it's $45)

Now some of the numbers are a little off because the correct bottle sizes are not available. Let's say shipping costs $10 from Zample. That brings the golden box to $55, a little more than half of our $92.52 total. $55 WITH shipping. Now add the cost of your gas and or shipping from multiple vendors to the $92.52 and see how much it goes up. Now if you are going to get all of these flavors you would either need to order them in bigger bottles or get sampler packs if the vendor offers them, then you're spending more money to sample the same set of flavors.

It is one huge deal, do the math.

it's now a pain to have suppliers give out 3 nic levels? and no, i wouldn't have subscribed even if they allowed nic level choices.

Lol, insults, nice. Maybe they haven't had any business experience, so it is a logistical nightmate for them. They're also really new with probably very little startup money. Getting businesses to sign on with them would be easier if they weren't demanding juices in multiple nic levels. Give them time. When they have been around for awhile, flavor profiles, nic preferences, they'll be easy. Right now they aren't.

ZampleBox is new, it's like a video game in alpha/beta, give it a ....ing break.

Considering most sample company's get these samples at very low to no cost to include inside the kits in return for possible customers. Yes most suppliers don't want to give out so much product that cheaply not really knowing what return they will get out of such a new company.

I just got the email too. It wont let me update to 18mg without switching from my 20$ plan to the current 25$ plan.

What? You mean they aren't honoring "grandfathered" status if you just want to switch nic levels!?

Rubbish.

I'm quite happy with the 6mg selections I got in December, but hoping 12 mg would show up as an option soon. But I'm not willing to pay more after the promise of being grandfathered in at the current price.

I'm sure they'd switch you if you contacted them, unless the increased amount of nicotine is what prompted the cost increase (nicotine is the most expensive ingredient and 18mg tripled it)
