ZampleBox

As a noob you have this entire place figured out in your own head and apparently don't like it so... why are you still here?

If you have any real questions about how this site is run contact a moderator. I'm not about to debate the relevance of CASAA with a noob trying to compare CASAA to back door SPAMming.

CASAA is a not-for-profit consumer advocacy organization. You do NOT have to pay to become a member. They started right here on ECF when the FDA started going after ecigs back in 2009 or so. CASAA fights for us, the consumer, without being paid to do so.

Will they take donations? Yes. But we are not required to donate in order to join.

As for what this thread has become; the owner, of the company in question, can open a dialog with ECF admin.

It makes perfect sense to me. I used to have a forum at my site, for the benefit of any who used the templates I make, but I had to completely get rid of the forum due to spammers. Now anyone who has a question for me has to use the contact link, but that only helps them, not anyone else who might have a similar problem.

I don't have a single problem with any site that wants to fight spam; everytime I poll for mail to my "main" address, I have to wait while 12,000 spams download. I'm not kidding or exaggerating -- last time it was somewhat over 12,000 piece of mail, and 11,900+ were spam.

Fight the good fight, ECF.

I got my April "ZBox" and I like MANY, truly LOVE IT!!! Tony and Pete are both awesome dudes with some of the best customer service skills I have ever seen. I actually had the pleasure of meeting Tony in Tampa at the vape convention...

Hmmmmm. Ready for my April box to see how the flavor curation worked! Just say no to menthol. Lol.

My box should be here tomorrow. Excited to see if the profiles thing worked. I had to cancel and re-subscribe as well (at a $4 upsale!) I am glad our beloved Zample is back in the good graces of ECF so we can rave about out monthly surprises. Fingers crossed for Blueprint's CREAM. If you think about all the upgrades Zample has made in the past few months, they have really made some great progress in a short time.

I did not cancel and re subscribe, I guess that's why profile did not work for me! Got menthols again. The blueprint cream is really good.

Oh yeah, Pineapple vapes are notorious tank crackers. But thanks for the reminder - sorry your tank got melted.

Yes, hard to see in the pic, but behind the juice bottle is my last taifun gt with the zen ionizer drip tip on it. So, I'll use 1 taifun gt with the ss tank and one with the clear plastic tank. I'm currently vaping on my Katfun 3.1ES and while its a great vape, the taifun is better to me. Not be leaps and bounds.... just a little better flavor and vapor.

Personal rant: Blueprint should have put some kind of warning on the bottle, cap, somewhere.... a sticker even that this juice has the potential to crack plastic tanks. I'm very upset about that. (No fault of zamplebox btw)

Thanks for the PSA! Time to try the stainless tank on the Russian.

The curation engine needs work. So, I canceled by pre-CE Zamplebox and signed up for the CE version. IIRC, there were four questions that dealt, specifically, with flavor preference. Basically, do you like tobacco? Do you like menthol? Do you like fruit and a "what flavor would you want on a desert island" type question. No confectionery, bakery or drink questions were presented. I answered yes to tobacco, no to menthol, yes to fruit and chose tobacco as my must-have flavor. I had a nagging feeling after I selected "yes" to the fruit flavor question and submitted my answer that I should go back and change it. I didn't see a way to do that though. When I finished the questionnaire there was no indication of what my profile might be and no way, that I could find, to review my answers. ...let alone change them. So what did I get in my first curated Zamplebox? Five fruit flavored liquids and one tobacco flavor. This after my March box was filled with, what seemed like, a never-ending assortment of blackberry flavor liquids. Most of those are in a box in the closet and many, if not all, of the April liquids will wind up there as well. I think I'm going to cancel until ZB institutes a more granular and robust system. Rather than just take my ball and go home though; I'd like to offer some suggestions.

1. Replace the "yes" and "no" answers with "always", "sometime" and "never"
2. Allow all answers to be reviewed and changed prior to final submission.
3. Display the curated flavor profile generated by the CE prior to final submission

I love the idea behind Zamplebox but I'm receiving too many flavors that I don't have any interest in. Hopefully, in a few months, they'll tweak the CE and I can give it another go.

You should email them (hello@zamplebox.com) with your suggestions and tell them that you were unhappy with how your box was curated. They mentioned on one of the facebook groups that there was an issue with it not working properly this month. They're usually pretty good about trying to make the customer happy and solving issues. I did see that 2/3 of the staff is out of town this weekend, so they may not answer until Monday. Oh, and if you look at your account page, supposedly on the left hand side by your name it should list your customer number and your curation flavor - someone mentioned it was in a lighter text color so it's not standout obvious. I didn't do the curation this month because I was afraid that it would have bugs to work out so I can't check and see if the curation text is there or not. I was pretty satisfied with my box except for Cool Runnings by 503. Coconut and menthol do not go together. Someone said it tasted like menthol shampoo and they were spot on.

Standard disclaimer - I am not affiliated with Zamplebox. I've just been following along on facebook and have seen complaints turned into happy customers after an email.

I'm excited to get his menthol shampoo lol. My box was off, got 3 tobaccos. They emailed back immediately and asked what I wanted. I said menthol or candy so they are sending me a few new bottles. Awesome awesome customer service.

I'll probably try the curation engine next month. I'd love to get more tobacco and less fruit. I like fruit flavors ok they were what got me off analogs, I have just started to prefer tobacco more (and tea and coffee but that's not an option)

 

[CMIrons1]

See I just want candy and menthol. Not a fan if fruits. Had to mix 503 berry with straight menthol to make it vapeable for mr
