After reading about Zamplebox for a week I too have decided to order my first month. I usually only buy the same ok flavors from my local b&m, they all usually have a slight burnt taste to them. (Same way at the store, not a coil problem.) I would never order online out of fear that what I did order would be like everything else.......burnt. Now this noob needs to find a small tank, carto or dripper that is cheap and disposable. I have no desire right now to build coils just to try new flavors.

Anybody know how they ship,as far as different times? I signed up and recieved my order last month but have not heard anything this month. Just wondering if they renew on your original purchase date.

My understanding is that it will ship on the same day every month.

I so wasnt expecting Tangerine Popsies to be a menthol. That just caught me off guard. Its not bad tho. Probably wouldn't buy it, but I don't mind vaping it.

Strong cooling menthol at first that slowly subsides just abit after awhile as you get used to it. Im not used to menthol vapes so. Has a nice light n not overly bright tangerine. Its tastes like a mentholated ecto cooler/tangerine basically. It would be pretty damn good had it not been for the menthol.

I feel every mentholated flavor Ive tried, they almost always go overboard with the menthol and I'm an ex menthol smoker. XD

The Rocket Blend.. Ooo the Rocket Blend. Im getting a super creamy vanilla n spice with a light peanut flavor. I likey. I'd buy this.

Now with the Old Time Root Beer.. Its ok, but something tastes off to me. Ill let it sit and come back to it another time. I may just be spoiled by my 503 Sarsprilla.

AWDIV is 2 for 2 with me. I really hope next months box comes with the Orange Label.

The Twilight Cavendish is surprisingly pretty damn good. Not my cup of tea, but I did like it. If you were to take a nice cigar, put it in your mouth n take a couple unlit puffs off of it. That flavor and that scent best describes this vape for me. A nice smooth natural tobacco flavor. While not for me, I know someone who will adore it.

Somewhere out there
My standard box came with the following

Hurricane Vapor Twilight Cavendish - 5ml
Strix Elixers Frozen Tundra - 10 ml
AWDIV - 15(?)ml
Golden Drops Tangerine Popsies 10(?) ml
Jackson Vapor Co. Agua Dulce 30(?) ml

Same assortment arrived here yesterday. I haven't opened the HV, since I'm not a tobacco fan, but I've tried the other 4.

I am a menthol fan, but Frozen Tundra is way too strong to vape on it's own. I will be happy to use it to add a touch of menthol/mint to other liquids. The Niquid Smooththol in my first box was more suited to my taste, but expensive compared to my favorite MBV Extreme Ice.

The other 3 seem just OK, but I need to spend more time with them before saying more.

BTW, anyone know where to get glass dropper tops that fit the AWDIV bottles?

I got my box today and it's the same assortment that everyone else has gotten so far. (Standard Box) I think my favorite out of all of them was the AWDIV. Nice refreshing flavor not overly minty, doesnt really scream mojito at me but I like it. The Agua Dulce smelled amazing but when vaping the papaya kind of takes over and overpowers everything. I might just leave this for dripping occasionally. The Cavendish was just meh cigar-ish tobacco, pretty straightforward really, nothing special. Same for the Frozen Tundra. I love a good menthol and this one is nice, but again just pretty straightforward, nothing special. The Golden Drops Tangerine was nice, I liked that one too.

The one thing that really really put me off this month was the fact that 3 of my bottles were partially filled. Now, I know I'm owed 50ml. which, obviously, I got since the Agua Dulce was a 30ml. bottle and was mostly full, or at least fuller than some others. The Frozen Tundra was completely full, yay for them. The AWDIV was about 3/4 full. This surprised me since I seem to remember last month's was full. The Golden Drops of course was only about 3/4 full too, but I kind of expected that from last month. The real sad thing was the Cavendish which was a tiny bottle to begin with, was only about 2/3 full. It just seems that the vendors are so skimpy. Plus, despite the variety of flavors, there isnt much variety of vendors. I mean, AWDIV only has 3 flavors, will we just start repeating after we've been sent all three?

Sarcasm aside, this is a fantastic idea. The quality and service of Zamplebox is exceptional, however, I'm not sure I will continue the service just to get partially filled bottles from repeat vendors.

Its amazing how many people have responded to this issue but people still complain... let me ask you something.... if these vendors are stocked up on the bottles they use the smallest being 15ml, if they had to buy 5ml bottles just to provide for zb customers... would you be ok with paying more each month just so you get a smaller but full bottle? They do what they can to keep costs down you pay for 50ml/100ml total. Comeon guys ppl keep complaining im sure they will fix that issue. But guess who will end up picking up the check? Us.

I dont know about you, but I prefer my 5ml bottles filled with 5ml of liquid, 10ml bottles with 10ml of liquid etc..

If a vender cant be trusted to send bottles consistently filled with the correct amount of liquid to the paying company they've a contract with (Zamplebox) whose to say they would consistently send said filled bottles to their other customers?

Just saying...
Im sure it'll be worked out eventually, but if noone brings it up they will just continue doing it.

I don't know if I am just picky or what, but I did the standard Zamplebox last month and received Lick-Monroe and Half Moon, Mia-Mojito, AWDIV and another Fireball juice. Didn't like any of them so I cancelled it. Kept seeing everyone talk about The Standard Frankenvape so went to the store and bought it also wasn't a fan. I feel Zamplebox is great for someone who doesn't have a flavor preference or for someone who is just starting out. I like juices with actual flavor and I feel these with the exception of the Fireball juice had no flavor.

I'm with you. I got Febs gold box and zero tobacco. Nothing but dessert. Just not my thing. They must be anti tobacco.

I cancelled.

I actually didn't mean for my post to be a "complaint" as such, maybe more of an observation. As someone who has worked in the retail industry for over 20 years, you have to understand customer perception. And that there is a cost in doing business. We all know (or should) that the markup on juices is astronomical. I doubt that a company's business would be hurt by a few more mls. in the bottle. The perception of receiving partially filled bottles is that someone is skimping, and it seems cheap. I totally understand the costs involved of purchasing smaller bottles, and such. If this perception weren't an issue, then why are so many folks bringing it up?

Like I said in my post: I received from Zamplebox what they promised to deliver, at least 50ml. of e-liquid. I also had other positive things to say and I really liked a couple of the juices. My bigger disappointment beyond the partially filled bottles, is what may or may not be a limited number of participating vendors. In any case, I'm sorry if I pushed a button, I was stating my opinion and felt comfortable doing so in this forum. In the end it is up to me to continue to pay for the service or not.

I got my 1st zamplebox last month. It was the standard box. In it I got 95ml (by label, GD was short which seems to happen often) of juice in it and the 2 bottles I couldn't see as an all day vape where still very good juices.

The Standard - Frankenvape 30ml - LOVED this juice
Clevervapes - Nirvana 15ml - Not an ADV, just "Good"
AWDIV - Purple 15ml - LOVED this juice
Thunderhead Vapor - Tropical Storm 15ml- My least favorite of the bunch and it was still good.
Golden Drops - Teddy Bears 15ml (but only 70% full) - OMG, I must get more. $12 for 15ml ok. $40 shipping No Way!
Hurricane Vapor - 5ml - Very Good.

Considering the success I had with last month standard box, I upgraded to gold for this month.

For me one thing I have learned is I have a huge disconnect between what "sounds" good when I am buying and what I like. Zamplebox lets me just try what I get and see what I like, I am not concerned that I may get something I won't like. It can be traded or pif'd or mentholated (when I am sick and can't taste anyways).

I just got my first Zamplebox on Saturday, and I can't complain. Except for the Absinthe flavor. But black licorice is of the devil and needs to be purged from this world. I had a bottle leak, and sent them an email to let me know, and they were more than willing to offer me a replacement bottle, even though I didn't want one.

What I think is the best though is that I e-mailed them at like 1 AM CST about it and I got a reply less than an hour later, which is crazy good customer service to me. I'm not sure what time zone they're in, but if you're up when I work swings I'm going to love you for life.
