Do they ship to Ireland? Can't see any info on the site.

Great idea, have heard about them before. But I'd be wary of being hit by customs. This would mean a hold up on delivery, having to answer to them about the contents, and a charge on top. It would still work out good value, but you may have to wait longer than usual. had customs issues when ordering camera gear from US &/or China in the past.

I got a couple of the gold boxes off them last year, they offer the best value on these subscription boxes available to us imo,the postage is quick enough and I never had a bother with customs either, no matter how you do the math it works out to be great value.
You will receive juice you don't like so keep that in mind but you'll also get to try a wide variety of juice as well.

Good to know there's usually no customs issues at least.

When you sign up, do you fill in a questionnaire of some kind? asking your preference on PG/VG ratio, nic strength, types of flavours preferred? I saw a similar one run out of UK called Drippa: http://www.drippa.co.uk/

With that one you can choose to omit tobacco flavours, aniseeds, menthols etc but I don't think you can select preferences on the mix ratio

Yes you can just hit subscribe. I don't know about buying from the uk these days with the exchange rate could turn out expensive.

It seems that Zample only accept credit cards,no paypal or debit card.
also the price goes up $20 & slightly less juice on their max for the Gold if you live outside the USA,shipping costs are at the end of the checkout.
So without the shipping costs,a 15ml bottle will approx cost $6.40.

Is this info correct or have I got it wrong.

Have a look over on Reddit for an idea of how they work.
There was a full-on Reddit witchhunt undertaken on these guys recently.
Seems they were sending out a lot of juice from a compnay that was wholly owned by the same guy who runs zamplebox. I think I read that some folks had bother getting their subscription cancelled too.

With this in mind, I Googled "uk zamplebox" and got mysizzlebox.com - anyone try it?

I tried them as well, again it was last year, I noticed recently they have upped the amount of liquid to 70ml from 50ml I think.
The liquid from them was pretty awesome though, good range of high quality liquid.

I'm after deleting my email receipts from last year so I don't know the exact pricing or who takes which type of card, I do know Sizzlebox is a Paypal subscription if that's of use to anyone.
Afaik Zamplebox, Sizzlebox and Drippa are the only ones available to us over here, well they were last year anyway, there is another english crowd but I've heard a few bad reports about them so I won't mention them here.
I've been meaning to give Zamplebox and a go again so I'll post back with the exact cost involved at some point.

EGriff

Sizzlebox and drippa look good, at least I've heard of most of the brands they list on the site.

There's also a UK subscription site called Salivape. They, however, charge in euros - so you don't get stung by conversion rates. The first month is something like €29.50 and then it goes up to about €35. From their website, they do supply a lot of well known brands. This and the euro charge made me go for them. Boxes are supposed to ship on the 10th of each month, and I am still waiting for mine. In fairness, as soon as I contacted them to let them know I hadn't received my box, they got back to me and said they'd dispatched a replacement. I am still waiting for the replacement. You get 50ml for your money, so that works out at about €7 per bottle, which I suppose is standard. And it is a good way to get to try new juices. Looking at some UK forums I'm a member of, other people haven't had any problems getting stuff. Couldn't really recommend until I get my own box.

Regarding Zamplebox, if you want to try them, make sure you get your order in before the end of the month. Currently you can cancel your subscription at any time, but from 1st May, you'll be locked into a time based subscription or pay higher prices for the freedom to cancel.

I can't edit my post for some reason, but I signed up for zamplebox today. I got the gold package. There's a 10% discount code valid for April (Google is your friend because I don't know the rules for posting that sort of stuff). With shipping, it came to a princely €56.72. That's for 11 bottles, which will be between 120 - 180 mls. I don't think that paying just over a fiver for a bottle of ejuice is bad. They can't accept paypal because paypal in the US don't allow payment for eliquid and ecigarette stuff, apparently.

Good starting point.

whats newxt

So i ordered and to be fair the juices they sent me are nice, it's exactly the flavors i picked. all 6mg but don't know yet what quantity they sent me as some bottles don't label them. i would guess approx 160ml in total, don't know if this would last me a month tho. postage was about 5 days and i payed no customs.

youdipstick

I must know more details if you wouldn't mind,what package did you go for & how many bottles did you get if it was 160ml & does it mention the pg/vg ratio,how much did you pay for the package with the postage costs.You say it took 5 days for delivery,is that from the USA or UK....Thanks

As far as i remember i payed 53 euro for the whole lot (40 euro for the juice itself), it's the gold membership, i got 10*15ml bottles so 150 ml to be exact, each bottle has it's own pg/vg ratio you cant choose but on average most of them are 60vg 40pg, yes it's from the US they marked the package as worth $10 so you pay no customs. It came well packed.

youdipstick

That works out roughly a fiver for 15ml bottle,which is pretty good seeing it comes from the USA,I have a slight prob,looking at the site,it asks you for nic level,I like 18 or 24mg & also like 6mg,which do I pick,mmm,I could buy 2 x standard packages I suppose,would that work.

I'm not sure you would have to email them first, i'm sure they will sort you out.

I put in an order (to be locked into the older pricing scheme) a while back

It took 7 working days to arrive after being shipped.

You can skip a month so one box every two months.

I have just tried one (peanut butter bar). Love it

Got an email from them last night

We are continuing to make improvements and will be updated the site throughout next week to make the flavor profile builder easier to use (as has been requested by our members).

Fully Customizable Flavor Profiles
New Boxes
Customized Flavor Tasting Menus in Every Box

With the new system it is a lot more personalized and you can create specific flavor wish-lists as well as notate specific flavors you'd prefer not to receive.

I'll post in here when the next box arrives

Just signed up for a box myself, figure it's worth a try for the price, would love to know what you think of yours when you get it

Looks good was that the gold box? How many mls roughly

Stealthirl

At a guess id say 160ish

nkav86

When I checked the site it's calling that the platinum box, I'm confused, looks good though, how long did it take

Would you mind me asking how much the juice was in dollars. They seem to have changed things now and I wanted to see if its still good value

Nice one,the platinum package looks good,so how much in Euros did you pay for the Platinum including the shipping cost.

nkav86

Well that's annoying! Just got the email saying my box is on the way with a sneak peek of one of the liquids, apple jackson by Hot Vapes which has an apple/cinnamon flavour. Hate cinnamon and put it as a flavour I want to avoid, typical!

Regular price is around €56 euros inc postage [Depending on exchange rate]

How many mls did you get nkav and what was the price again I can't remember. I'm seriously thinking of doing it

nkav86

6 bottles 82mls, 33quid approx

youdipstick

nkav86 wrote: »

So it works out approx €5.50 for a 15ml bottle,looking at it this way,about €11 for a 30ml bottle,average premium juices are roughly €19 and upwards for a 30ml,except for Game of Clouds which is €13.50 for 30ml but is GOC a premium juice.
What is in the Zamplebox,are they premium juices or just Joe Blogg type of juices.
I'm trying to justify whether it's worth it or not & also we are playing blind.

I wouldn't be sure myself as far as premium goes but these are the juices i got, all in by legit, apple jackson by Hot Vapes, bus pass by transit vape, empire by the blueprint, English bulldog by good life vapor and envy by seduce juice, hopefully that will give you the info you need

Thanks for the info,I'll check out a couple of those you mentioned & hopefully they are better than Dekang type liquids...
If all goes well,I'll be ordering them soon....Cheers

Stealthirl

Well the last box i got they were defiantly better then Dekang stuff

Stealthirl

Well my next box arrived with the new menu

nkav86

If that's All In by legit and Bus Pass by transit, they're both good, I've gotten those

I started Zamplebox back in January and have just started back with them after a short break where I went DIY mad in preparation for the "Vapocalypse", lol. They have a great selection of juice, many of them high spec and high VG.

One of the bottles in July's box had leaked slightly, and Zamplebox have sent a replacement and one extra by way of an apology, fair play in all fairness, definitely have a loyal customer here.

I selected all flavors on my flavor profile, as I am keen to try flavors I would not normally select if buying at full price, but invariably I end up with one or two bottles that I don't like, and I have a 15ml bottle of "Bus Pass" (Vanilla Mocha) by Transit Vape (12mg 40/60 vg) going spare if anyone would like to swap/trade! took a smidgen out of it as I use a dripper, definitely not my cup of tea!
