ZampleBox

[amp79423]

It's here...spoiler alert - don't read if you want the surprise of opening your vape-mail.




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

A few initial thoughts - I expected 50 ml and got 70! That's awesome. Plus, shipping was super fast and I received emails at each step in the process. A few minor issues - two of the bottles do not have droppers or dripper tops. Not a big deal to me, I have syringes and needle toppers for bottles, but for a new vaper it could be a problem. Also, not all the quantities were listed on the bottles. The quantities I listed above with (?) were my best guesses as to how much was in the bottle based on my limited experience with bottles from different vendors. The AWDIV label did not have a flavor on it, smells good though! It would be nice if the Zamplebox folks would include a packing sheet that lists what is included, the size, the flavor, and some tasting notes. Although I'm good with google, I'd prefer to not have to search out what each flavor is supposed to be. While tangerine popsies is fairly obvious, agua dulce is very ambiguous. Also, a search on google didn't turn up anything for AWDIV except a facebook page. If anyone knows what flavor this is, please advise.

I'm excited to fire up the dripper later and get to tasting these flavors. I don't think I would have picked a single one of these from any of the vendors, but that's a good thing. I signed up for the service to try new things that I may otherwise miss, so here's to hoping I enjoy the liquids. So far I'm pleased with what I received for the money - a variety of juices from good quality vendors (even though I've never heard of AWDIV and there isn't much information on them online). The taste is the subjective part, so I don't know how fair it would be for me to critique Zamplebox if I happen to dislike a juice.

What color label is your AWDIV? Purple is Peacan pie w/butterscotch, green is candied mint w/watermelon and champagne, and orange is sweet arnold palmer tea.

Agua Dulce is a new flavor by Jackson Vapor Co ( previously Jameson's Irish Vapor). Zamplebox users are some of the first to try it. "papaya, lychee berry and one other secret ingredient."

AWDIV is 15ml, Jackson Vapor is 30ml and Golden Drops is supposed to be 10 but the past 3 months were usually anywhere from filled with just 5-7ml.

Just read something that Jackson Vapor Co. was formerly Jameson's Irish Vapor juice, and Agua Dulce is lychee and papaya. Sounds tasty.

All these juices with flashy names really should state in smaller font what the flavor is supposed to be under the name or off to the side or something.

It's green. It smells exactly like you described it. And the bottle from Jackson sells for $25 on their website. That alone is worth the price for the standard membership, plus the extra four bottles. Seems like this is going to be a pretty good value.

The twilight cavendish from Hurricane is a new flavor too and exclusive to Zamplebox until later this month. I loaded that one up on the dripper first (usually don't drip at work, but there's always an exception to the rule) and it is excellent. I guess I've never tried a good tobacco liquid, but this one is excellent. The taste on the draw is very similar to when you first put a decent cigar in your mouth and you're drawing to get it lit. Definitely not the same as burning tobacco, but instantly recognizable as tobacco (definitely not similar to a cigarette though). The exhale has hints of vanilla. This one would be perfect for a night out at the bar. Too bad there was only 5 ml in my box though!

Edit: The Golden Drops liquid is filled to the top of the label, a little space left in the top, but probably close to 10 ml.

Standar membership 6mg unboxing, everything with the exception of the Jackson vapor was tasted in a nimbus on a nemesis at ~1.2 ohm 30ga 5/64 micro with cotton wick. Jackson Vapors was run in a minim protank 2 w/ a 1.2 ohm 1/16 micro with cotton wick. Here we go:

Strix Elixirs: frozen tundra 10mL

-light peppermint with overpowering menthol, not my bag but I'm not generally a menthol guy anyways

Hurricane Vapors: Twilight Cavendish 5mL

-strong pipe tobacco, probably NET, dead on for what it's trying to be, definitely worth a revisit if I'm looking for an analog simulation but getting shelved for the time being.

Golden Drops: Tangerine Popsies 10mL

-this is the only flavor I didn't taste, just not a fan of orange/tangerine flavors when It comes to vaping.

AWDIV: Blue-Green Label 15mL

-wow this is a tough one to place. Definitely a ... is this type of flavor, fruity? Citrusy? Not sure if I actually like it but it's certainly intriguing I just reached for it again so we shall see. Complex, with maybe anise or some other candy liqueur in the background. Mystifyingly weird. Sorry for rambling, let's get back on track.

Jackson vapor: agua dulce 30mL

- they describe it as a tropical fruit blend, but I would liken it more to a tropical cocktail, maybe some pineapple? Fairly certain they mention papaya as well... Either way I'm not the hugest fan, but I've never been much of a drinker.

All in all it was definitely an interesting assortment, with some nice premium juices thrown in (the Jackson alone is $25/30mL), and I'd say it was worth the $30 or so even though I didn't find anything too much to my liking. I did wonder of maybe they just have a sparser selection of low nic, but I digress. Anyways that's been my experience, I'm definitely gonna hang around and see what next month has in store.

Cheers.

I just heard back from Tony at Zample and the mystery blue-green label AWDIV is watermelon mojito with candy mint. That is up next to go on the igo-l.

After reading that description Of the AWDIV I'd say it's fairly accurate. Still think there's a mystery fruit or something in there, but maybe that's their 'mojito' flavoring I'm tasting.

IMHO, one shouldn't have to go on an easter egg hunt to look up what flavor it is. It should be on the label. ;-)

Well, well what do you know? My Zamplebox is on its way. Let the countdown begin! Christmas every month. I love it!

 

[fpkites]

New Zampler here!!

Just pulled the trigger on a standard box....looking forward to adding to my already growing flavor ADD and hopefully finding that elusive ADV!

Good luck, it is a journey worth taking. I got lucky and found mine quickly, hopefully you will too.

Thanks, but i guess you didnt notice Im the person who put what the flavors are for the different AWDIV colors earlier. Also, you googled me the wrong color. ;-)

Anyways, thats how I feel. No point beating the dead horse since every liquid maker does it. I just hate trying to remember which is which or having to look it up and explaining the flavor when a buddy wants to try one of my liquids. "What flavors this?" XD

This ongoing debate about if zample is worth it or not is a little rediculous. Its a great service. They are offering ME a chance to try vendors I've never heard of, or can not get locally (or easily). Some flavors I didn't care for, others I would have never is taste tested given the chance turned out to be quite good... The Alpha vapes mellon one from Dec was actually really good (to name just 1)

I would love to see multiple companies offer services like this. And at some point the ability to select flavor profiles so they can narrow bottles down to members who really like/want them. For example, I don't like minty or menthols whatsoever.... I like Tobacco type vapes more than others. Things like that. But I think that will be gradually added as the company and service matures and more and more vendors offer different options to Zample to send out.

Having a basic understanding of how this business works, those of you who DO ENJOY the zample box program, remember that if/when you order any of the included juices, use the zample discount codes and/or mention to the vendor you're buying BECAUSE OF ZAMPLE. That kind of feedback will keep ZAMPLE in business. They will see the product the vendors are supplying are getting to their target audience. THATS THE GOAL. To get the juice suppliers to make money.

OUR GOAL is to enjoy great juice variety at a great price.... This is what we call in the business world, a WIN WIN situation.

Meant to edit, accidently quoted. XD

 

[amp79423]

The green label was awesome. I tried it after the frozen tundra, so I didn't really pick up much mint. Frozen tundra is super strong mint. It even leaves the minty taste in your mouth like a piece of gum would. At 6mg, the throat hit about made me cough up a lung. Should have figured that based on the name though.
