So what I'm picking up so far Is y'all are paying for and not getting full bottles?

Alright let's get something straight. The eliquids in the ZampleBoxes are SAMPLES they're SAMPLES. This service is not meant to give you your monthly allotment of eliquid. It's a SAMPLE service. The bottles that aren't full are not full because the company that's making that liquid either wanted to give a smaller sample or didn't have a small enough bottle.

Say you're an eliquid manufacturer and you partner with this company that distributes samples. Now, suppose your smallest bottle that you manufacture with is a 10ml bottle. The goal here is to get your product out there while keeping the cost of this sample box as low as possible. Now, how do we get the cost down? Why yes, smaller samples would be a great idea. Now do we put 5ml of eliquid in our 10ml bottles or start purchasing a completely new size of bottles? Correct, we use the smallest bottles we have!
When a company has existing wholesale purchases of one size bottle, it doesn't make any sense to get new bottles for something like this especially when from a wholesaler a 5ml and a 10ml plastic bottle cost almost the same amount.
Now suppose the company can get a hold of a smaller size bottle for a decent price. What if they only want to give out 4ml in their sample? Should they design and manufacture a new bottle or should they use an existing bottle that's already being mass produced?

Hmmm I love this idea and was all ready to sign up. However we use 12mg and the choices are 6 or 18.... I was using 18 and came down to 12 since my boyfriend said 18 would be too strong in the dripping atomizer he uses. I typically use an IBTanked Carto on my Provari. Should I go back to 18? I've been scared of various reviewers saying 6 is too weak and they don't get throat hit or flavor at 6.

Got my box yesterday but was a little disappointed. My bottle of The Standard was broken! Juice running everywhere and leaking out of the box onto the rest of my mail. Hopefully they will improve on their packaging just a little.
Well that really sucks. Have you contacted them about it?

There will surely be a lack of throat hit with 6mg juice compared to 18 or 12mg yes and more then 0. Flavor? I don't know why you'd get less flavor.

As for going back to 18 that's entirely on you. If 12mg isn't doing it for you then maybe you should step back to 18. If 12 is working for you why step up?. No way would 6 be doable if 12 isn't working for you.

I went from 24>18>12>6 and tried 0 for a bit, but is wasn't cutting it for me. I still use 12 from time to time, but 18 just kills me now. I can get a few pulls but I start to get a little lightheaded now.

I just did some calculations and came up with this.

I use 3ml of juice per day on average

3ml X 30 days in a month is 90ml per month

Avg cost of juice is between $0.35 and $0.90 per ml which is an average of $0.62 per ml

So $0.62 X 90ml per month = $55.80 per month

So are you guys getting 100ml for $24.99? Can you choose your nic level? If so this might be the way to go.

The regular zamplebox for 24.99 is guaranteed at least 50ml. Its been around 60-70ish I believe so far. The Gold box is guaranteed at least 100ml. So far its been around 120-130ish. This month I got 160ml.

Nic lvl choices for the moment are limited to 6 or 18mg

Thanks for that info my friend. I'm guessing gold is about 50 bucks? Looks like a good deal for my consumption.

12 works perfect for me! It seems stupid to go back up to 18 when 12 is working great, and I know 18 would be way way too strong on my bf's RDA too and we share juice. I really wanted to sign up, but I'm guessing 6 will be way too weak and have a lack of throat hit, and I don't think jumping back up to 18 is a good idea either.

I want to join, but I guess I will have to wait until they add a 12mg option, unless everyone thinks going down to 6 wouldn't make a big difference in TH and flavor (Do you not think it changes the flavor? I've heard several times that nic helps carry the flavor and reduced nic = reduced flavor, is that not the case?)

I'm really digging the Frankenvape. This is the perfect example of why Zamplebox is such a cool idea. I would never have ordered this based on the description. Even if I were tempted to try it, it would be too pricey to find out I didn't like it. The Standard juices are $22 for a 30ml bottle so the Frankevape bottle alone is worth most of the price of the Zamplebox. Win!

That's the exact purpose of ZampleBox, it gets you to try flavors you wouldn't normally while incurring minimal cost. :) Congrats.

Love, love, LOVE this month's box! Hurricane Vapor's Mango Milkshake surprised me how addicted I got to it so quickly. Only bottle I didn't like was 503 Cherry Bomb, but that's just because I'm not big on black licorice. So happy to get my fix of Frankenvape, I could vape that nonstop. And how freaking delicious is Golden Drops Teddy Bears? I am such a fan of Zamplebox. Waiting for my surprise package is exciting!

Today's mail has come and gone and still no Zamplebox :(. I'm one of the people who got 2 emails from Tony saying my package was complete and has shipped but I didn't get a 3rd with the tracking number. I'm in Northern California and Zamplebox is located in Seattle so I wouldn't think it would take that long but who knows hehe. If I don't get it by Thursday I will go ahead and email them.

I've been reading who got what this month in their Zamplebox and too much mango stuffs lol. I don't care too much for mango flavor so maybe they'll skip me with the mango. Although with my luck, I'll probably get 3 bottles worth lol.

Tough call. I wouldn't step back up to 18 if your good with 12 and your sharing liquid with your bf who is using an RDA. By chance do you have a local shop that you may go into to try some 6mg liquids out? 6 may suit your bf with his RDA fine, but may be lacking in a clearo for yourself.

As for flavor, my higher nic juices taste the same to me as the lower nic versions of the same juice flavorwise, but that could be because I gradually stepped my nic level down over time and just didn't notice. The lower nic variants are a smoother hit however.
