A vape box delivered to your door every month.

@Josh Williams:
Hi fella. I'd say I'm a mid-level user. I make my own simple coils, I use tank setups most of the time on regulated dual battery mods. The juice I buy is usually from sales by reputable juice-makers, or suggestions on POTV. I don't diy as yet, but I mostly buy short-fills.
What could one of your boxes offer me?
Coils: If you are selling coils, where will they be coming from? Who makes them? Will only stock coils be for sale, or will you have fancy pre-made ones, such as alien-staggered-triple-core?
Juice: what brands do you intend to sell? How are you going to cater to a wide market of people who have varied tastes and use differing strengths of nicotine?

How are you going to keep track of stock levels? Let's say I was to subscribe for a monthly box and I specifically that it has to contain a specific juice in a certain strength, but your out of stock. What happens then?

I'm not saying these things to have a go at you, I'm just pointing out that the vaping market has some VERY picky customers. From all of the posts in this thread I hope that you can see the amount of work that you will have to do just to break even.

The answer is your aiming at the wrong market, new vapours for the most part won't want to commit to a subscription service as most of them are worried about money or buying the wrong thing and been stuck with a bunch of unwanted stuff plus on the most part people as a whole don't like to commit to things long term and that's what your asking someone new to something to do, you would be better setting up a business for DIY mixers where you sent out concentrates and supplies with suprise recipe ideas and concentrate to make it as well as VG and PG supplies as mixers are into vaping long term [emoji6]

Like most modern subscription services, It would be cancelled anytime. no commitment.

Its fine man, part of my job on a daily basis is gathering feedback. All of this is useful. That's why I posted here in the first place! I came in with an open mind haha! I'm compiling all of the questions people are asking. ( Theres shit loads already )

Having thought about it more, there may actually be a market for this, but it's not huge.

People like my sister...

She's a worktime vaper, she has one device and uses a limited range of juices. She knows pretty much how much she gets through.

Of course, the accessory sales to her would be pretty much zero...

But if you could compete well on price compared to what she spends then it's a possibility she'd be the sort of customer that could support this style of business.

To answer at least one of your questions. To start small, I would start with a few high-end good quality liquids brands first. Validate the experience with customers. If it works, expand choice but only sticking with good quality. Stock coils for now until there's traction.

No, you haven't convinced me.

I think you might just be able to make a self sustaining hobby out of it.

I don't think it's a scalable business.

And this is very probably where you'd lose my sister.

High end.

That usually means expensive, right?

Coupled with limited choice - I know you've said that you and others consider there to be too much choice, but be honest with yourself here - what if there were only 5 flavours and you didn't like 4 of them and the last was just "meh"?

You'd be complaining about lack of choice...


So, limited choice of expensive juices vs. vast and bewildering choice of juices at every imaginable price point...

Unfortunately, both are impractical in their own ways for a reseller.

Are you American?
Do you intend to offer use or return on the items in the box?

No British, if there is a need for it then yes

Have you researched this in detail before asking a forum full of vapers?
