Subscription Services

[Jcc2k]

I have been looking into some of these monthly subscription sites, but I cant really decide which one to get into. I have been using the same 2 e-liquids for quite awhile now and need a change.

Which site(s) would you recommend?

Also, If there are any vendors out there with a sampler pack for a decent price, please message me.

Tried both Zamplebox and Nicpik, of the 2, Nikpik has had the better juices.
Zamplebox is getting too big for it's pants and is starting to get the high end juice companies which could back fire as we find that those flavors are not that much better than the regular priced ones. Hype seems to work on alot of the vapor community.
Both have brand name venders as well as a few unknown ones. Both have great costomer service with Nikpik being just a bit better. Price wise they are close with free shipping for the Nicpik. Now I used the lowest plan for Zamplebox. Who needs alot of juice you may not like. The only reason to use a Subscription service is to try new venders and juices. It is a crap shoot and like with me you have good months and bad ones.
zamplebox, 1 good month, 2, 50/50 months, 2 shit months, with only 1 juice I liked.
Nikpik, 3 great months all 5 were good to awesome, 1, 50/50 month.

if I had to choose between the one, Nicpik would be it.
It is still customer based while Zamplebox is getting too heavy into the spotlight which could be a bad thing down the line.

Thanks for the reply tick.

I decided to get off my ass and do my own juice of the month club thing until I find some stuff I like.

 

[tick22]

really that is the best way, esp if you know what you want to make..

Just to let you know how they work - The majority of them pay nothing for the juice. The vendor gives them a ton of free juice advertising.

 

[tick22]

I need to get into the business. well ok, maybe not but that's alot of free juice venders give for others to make money.

By "get off my ass" I meant... I picked a vendor here and ordered $50 worth of stuff to try and will do it again next month. WAAAY to lazy to start learning DIY stuff, at least for now.

Yea, I kinda figured that. But are they giving away their best sellers, or just crap they couldn't sell? I was willing to pay for my laziness to try out some good brands/flavors without doing all the research myself.

I'm bit sure if vendors think it's good marketing for them to be giving out free juice to someone profiting of there hard work.

I am a member of 3 different ones. I'm on my 2nd month on all three. I am giving them all a chance to see which one I like and then cancel the rest.

Zodist: Has "higher end" juice, but is the most expensive of the subscription services out there. I must admit that their customer service as well as their juice has been very good thus far. I have had several email exchanges between some of their staff, and they are always willing to help as well as being very friendly and personal. I don't think I've had any of their juices that they sent that I truly didn't like. I have gotten two boxes from them thus far, and both of them had juice that I vaped completely. Their flavor profile matching tends to follow my personal tastes really well.

Drip Club: Has an interesting 'point' system that allows you to gather points for every dollar you spend with them. You can use those points towards discounts and purchases on their storefront. They also have their own juice shop, so you can buy things that you get in their sample boxes that you enjoyed. Juice is hit or miss with them. I've gotten some really great juice, and others that I have simply given away because I couldn't stand them. I find it is about 70/30 (love / hate) with the juices for me personally.

Easy Vape Club: They have a different system that allows you to choose a specific brand / flavor to send to you every month instead of everything being completely random. So if you get a really amazing juice you KNOW you buy often, you can set your subscription to have them send you that juice every month. You can also select 'random x flavor' for every bottle. They also have a storefront that you can buy juices from them directly. The juice they have sent me thus far doesn't really fit my flavor profile well. Their only choices for random are basically 'random x flavor' so you choose 'random fruit flavor'. There isn't a lot of customization here, so I find that more of the juice unusable for my personal tastes.

My general thoughts for these is that you really must love experimentation and getting various flavors for you to enjoy any of these 'sample' box subscription services. You get some decent price per ml value, but keep in mind you will get juice that you REALLY don't like. If you are new to vapeing, and want to try out a bunch of different things to find that 'ADV', then it may be good for you, but if you have been vapeing for a while and know your general flavor profile of stuff you enjoy, it may not be a good choice.

Hope that helps with your decision.

 

[tick22]

Of course it is. it seems their best is sent out and then the wait and hope for new business. A great business plan really. It's keeping those that order afterwards that is hard if their juice does not measure up.

jcc2k, laughs, I thought that was really your plan.
if I had a local shop, I would do that as well.

I've looked at some monthly subscription sites but like what has been pointed out above, what to do with the juices that I don't like? I could give them away but then have to wait for the next batch to be sent, no thanks. Most of the vendors offer samplers of their products some that you can get for around 9.00 or 10.00 bucks for 5 or 6 bottles of various sizes, nic, and blends. I always thought that was a good deal, and if I didn't like some, well big deal it's only 4 or 10ml. Just my 2¢

 

[Paddrino]

I usually give away the ones I don't like. I've given some away that people love, but it's really hit or miss. The only thing sub services are good for are for people who love to get a huge variety of stuff if they don't know where their personal flavor profile are.

 

[Jcc2k]

Thanks for the help. I have a general idea of the flavors that I would like (I'm getting back into vaping after a 2 year hiatus), so it's probably better for me to do my own searching. I guess I just got overwhelmed with the amount of companies and complex flavors out now, so I was looking for the easy way out to find a new ADV. Oh yea, did I mention I was lazy?

 

[tick22]

No such thing as easy when it comes to juices and the many compamies out there. What I may like you may hate. It's a crap shoot. Buyer beware. At least I have learned how to mix different juices while trying to make some better. If it works great, if not, nothing lost except the price of the samples... I have been lucky that I have been able to make some of the bad stuff, usable again.

Hey, want a business partner haha.
I belong to the drip club. When you sign up you go through this juice preference thing asking what you like and hate. I think they got it backwards in my order I told them I hate banana and fruity favors. Guess what I got all fruity and a Banana flavors. I will still give it another try though.

You might be right. Some of the juices I got in my Zamplebox last month were pure crap. Out of 3 months, I've had only one 50/50 month. High end ejiuce does not equate to great flavors, but that is subjective based on what you like.

I kinda thought that was the case.

Hi Joe you may be right with some companies but Nicpik buys their juices. That's how we can decide what we want to order rather than have manufacturers send what they want. I know for sure because I am a co-founder of Nicpik.

If you have any questions at all about Nicpik ask away. I can help you.

 

[DAY-VAPE]

I use Easy Vape Club. I've only been in for two months... But so far they seem to be good/high quality liquids. I like being able to easily change your flavor profile for the next month.

 

[tick22]

I do Nicpik and again, this months was great. They added a new vender Valkyrie Vapor and damn, Baulder's Return was damn near perfect. I now have had excellent to good juices from them each time, over all about an average of 80% love the juices, 20 % liked, no dudes yet. Dropping Zamplebox, out of 5 boxes only one scored over a 50% like. I think they are believeing their own hype...

 

[Zamazam]

I ended up dropping Zamplebox. This months juice was messed up with the nic levels, some were 6, some 12, 1 18. Not good.
