ZampleBox

[Cotay]

I received my first Zamplebox today and I'm a bit underwhelmed and somewhat disappointed. I received the following:

1. V.A.P.E Science: Apple High (Tart Apple...nice simple tart apple flavor with hint of cinnamon but not spectacular...I'll finish the bottle but will not buy.) 3.5/5

2. V.A.P.E Science: Mel-O (Ripe Sweet Melon...tastes like PEZ meets air freshener. There is an artificial quality that doesn’t please me. It may appeal to some since it is sweet. 2/5

3. Goodlife: Blueberry Morning (Blueberry Waffle...this is excellent...would buy this, especially for the price). 5/5

4. Goodlife: Year of the Dragon (Tropical fruits/Dragon fruit...kind of a Pina Colada and I’m not a fan of Pina Colada…it’s not objectively bad, just not one I prefer. Seems good quality….I’d probably vape it in a pinch if necessary.) 2.5/5

5. Seduce juice: Dharma (Thai Iced Tea...not my cup of tea...horrible aftertaste which I can't describe. Seemed to burn in my iStick…got more of a tea flavor on an ego) 0/5

6. Bandito: Baja (Orange-ish...I did not like it....tastes chemical to me like the Zig Zag Mango dreck from the gas station.) 1/5

I had hoped to get a greater variety of vendor's juices than having four of these from the same two companies. I also know that I had requested no Citrus, so the Bandito is an odd choice. I had thought I didn't select "Fruits" since I'm more of a desert juice fan, but I can't remember honestly. All juice was tested in brand new Aspire K1s at 6mg…which I’m beginning to find is my sweet spot. 12/18 was giving me headaches.

Overall…this box was a 2/5. I'll give it one more month and then cancel if the vendor variety still stinks or if the selections don’t reflect my flavor profile.

EDIT: So I just found this video on YouTube that has convinced me that the "flavor profile" at Zamplebox is total B.S.



What are the odds that this guy in France gets five of the same juices as me? When signing up for the service, the website says you'll get "1-2 Family Favorites" each month that might not fit your flavor profile. I am okay with that if it's really 1-2...but 5? I'm cancelling this tomorrow and signing up for Vapebox instead. At least there I might get a tank or a mod.

Try Craft Vapery. they're a little on the pricy side but the customer service can't be beat. More than once I have posted here on ECF that I wasn't happy with my box, and the same day I got a phone call from their customer service asking if there was something else would like to try as a replacement for what I didn't like.

I've been thinking about signing up for Zamplebox, are the flavors good quality?

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it. The flavors that I received were mostly disappointing. Had I paid full retail for them I would have felt ripped off. The Blueberry Morning from Goodlife is the only one I'd buy.

I used to subscribe to Zamplebox but it just was not for me. The reason, they do not carry many tobacco flavors and that is what I was looking for. I believe it is only one per month. For that reason I cancelled my subscription. However, they do have many nice quality fruit type vapes from some good quality vendors; if that is your cup of tea, it would be worthwhile to try.

I got Dharma in my last box as well. I am a big tea drinker but this vape was absolutely horrible.

I feel your pain! Tobacco is my favorite and they make you select at least 5 flavor profiles. They sent me 3 fruits (...) and 1 tobacco. Obviously the tobacco was RY4 because every company thinks it's a good idea. I wish there was some original tobacco flavors.

Yeah, it seems RY4 was their favorite type to give out. Especially Caryn4 from G2. The thing is, I have never been a ry4 fan so these were just giveaways to people at my local vape shop. Oh, and I received it 3 times in the 5 months I subscribed. Still, after all that, I would recommend the service if fruit or sweeter vapes was their thing; just not mine.

Since I quit the service I found the ECF and the NET thread. I now am in tobacco heaven with NET's and my vape life has never been better.

Should be getting my first Standard Zamplebox Monday! The wait is killing me!!!

Just reading "Dharma" is making me gag. I didn't know it was a tea or chai tea -- I taste a nasty nasty chocolate-ish I guess you could say or maybe dirt. Which is strange cuz I've loved everything from Seduce Juice up until now.

I've about had it with Zamplebox as well. 2-3 juices from 1 vendor to me is unacceptable although I know other services do the same thing. I had vapebox for awhile and I'd get 3 juices and 2 would be from the same company sometimes - I ended up canceling them cuz how many rda's or mech's do one person truly need? Plus $60 a month is alot for 3 juices and a clone rda that I really don't need.

I'm thinking about juicecrate - it's the shiny new subscription service I keep seeing. Although 1 thing you just can't argue is with ZB you get the most juice for your $$$$$!!!! I'm giving them 1 more month - it's true their flavor profile DID NOT work last month - they told everyone that on their FB page. I don't know if it's supposed to work for December or not I haven't really been paying attention. I'll have to ask - I hope so cuz I'm into desserts more than this fruit/candy crap as well

People really think that zamplebox hand picks your juice every month?

 

[newphreak]

Probably a nice little randomizer program that works with the customers flavorprofiles.

Or they probably just give everyone the same stuff.

 

[msgnyc]

They give everyone roughly the same stuff. Not sure how their flavor profile alters what they typically would have shipped, but I assume they have certain flavors designated each month depending on the specific profile selected.

That why if you scroll thru peoples previous box's most everyone got the same exact bottles except very few different one switching back n forth between boxs

I'm not sure why there are so many complaints about ZB. I've received 2 orders from them and even though I did't "love" everything they sent, I did get to sample some of the juices that I may have never tried otherwise. Thats kinda what all of these services are about. As far as value, I certainly cannot complain about the price. 90ish ml of juice for under $30 is well worth it. It doesn't matter to me if I get the same bottles as everyone else as long as they match my profile.

For me, Zamplebox is a great service. It has already introduced me to vendors and flavors that I probably would not have tried otherwise. For a new vapor, the value is definitely there. Possibilities are endless and I am already waiting for my January box.

Just my $.02. Happy vaping all!

 

[SmoKnoMoCigZ]

i`ve gotten 3 shipments so far and a forth on the way. i get the six bottle for under $30 deal(includes shipping) and i can`t complain about what i get. i get 3 or 4 that are fantastic and a couple are mediocre(YMMV). Top tier brands and flavors and many are ones i never would have ordered myself but got to try using this service. yes they are a little light on tobacco vapes but there is at least one in each shipment. i would say if you have a very narrow flavor profile you may be disappointed but if you like a mix of different juices you will like it. i say its a good deal. JMHO

I enjoyed the liquids I received when I was a subscriber. I stopped do to budgeting issues initially and now I'll occasionally try new flavors here and there, but stick to a select few that I really enjoy mostly.

 

[Circa Survivor]

I subscribed to the Gold one, and I'll be getting it today. I really hope it's not disappointing. If it is, I'll probably cancel it and just order juice how I normally do.

I had a chance a few years ago when they came to Omaha. I couldn't go cause I can't do crowds.... but my brother got to hang out with Anthony, and the band also went into the store my girlfriend worked at that time (Teavana) but she didn't work that day xD I got her into them and she would have been thrilled.

I've seen them twice. They're really great live. The first time I saw them they played with Coheed and Cambria.

That would be a great show. My brother's band opened for Coheed when they came here a few years ago
