How to Perfect Your ZampleBox Flavor Profile in 3 Steps

Jun 22, 2022Updated Sep 17, 20265 min readZampleBox

Your flavor profile is how the Zamplebox Club gets to know your taste. It shapes every box we curate for you, so a few minutes spent getting it right pays off month after month.

Here’s how to set up your profile in three steps, plus how to keep fine-tuning it once your boxes start arriving.

Before you start: your box and strength

When you join, you first choose your box and your nicotine strength. You can see every option on the Zamplebox Club page, and boxes start at $23.99 a month.

If you’re not sure which strength suits you, read what nicotine strength is right for you first. Strength matters as much as flavor: a bottle you’d love at one strength can feel too harsh or too light at another.

Step 1: Tell us what you like

Start with the flavor families you enjoy. Most vape juice falls into four big ones:

• Fruit: strawberry, mango, watermelon, peach, berry blends and tangy or sour mixes
• Dessert: custard, cream, vanilla, cookie, pastry and caramel
• Menthol: icy and mint flavors, on their own or cooling down a fruit blend
• Tobacco: bold, classic tobacco-style blends

Then rate the individual flavor notes. This is where your profile gets its detail. Someone who loves fruit might adore strawberry and peach but not care for banana, and your ratings tell us exactly that.

We recommend rating at least 15 notes, and more is better. The more we know, the better we can match bottles to your taste. Rating a note high doesn’t mean every bottle will taste of it. It means we’ll lean that way while keeping some variety in each box.

Step 2: Tell us what to skip, and choose wisely

Next, give the notes you don’t enjoy a low rating. That steers us away from those flavors, so you won’t keep getting bottles built around something you dislike.

Be choosy, though. Every note you rule out shrinks the pool of bottles we can pick from, so the more you rule out, the less variety you’ll get. A good rule of thumb: rate a note low only if you really don’t like it, not just because you haven’t tried it yet.

For a bottle you never want to see again, use never send. It’s the hard stop: a bottle marked never send stays out of your future boxes.

Step 3: Save and check your box

This step is simple but important. Whenever you change your profile, make sure your changes are saved before you move on.

When you join, you’ll see a preview of your first box before you check out. Each bottle comes with a short reason, such as “because you rated custard high,” so you can see how your profile shaped the pick. Don’t love one? Swap it, or shuffle the box for a fresh set.

Those reasons are the quickest way to check that your profile is working. If a pick surprises you, the reason tells you which rating to adjust.

Keep fine-tuning after every box

Your profile isn’t set in stone. From your club dashboard, you can:

• Update your flavor profile whenever your taste changes
• Swap or remove bottles in your next box before it ships
• Add extras to your next box
• Queue specific bottles you want to try
• Mark favorites so we know what you’d happily get again
• Mark bottles that weren’t for you as never send
• Change your box or your strength
• Skip a month, pause, change your date or ship now

You can also cancel anytime, with no fees.

Tips for a better profile

• Think about when you vape. If you like something cool in the morning and something sweet at night, rate both families well so your box covers both.
• Be honest about cooling. Icy notes are love-it-or-leave-it. If you don’t want icy bottles, rate that note low so we steer clear of them.
• Leave room for discovery. Don’t rate notes low just because they’re unfamiliar. Some of the best surprises come from flavors you’d never have picked for yourself.
• Use favorites. When a bottle becomes a go-to, mark it as a favorite so we know you’d like it again.
• Queue what you’re curious about. Spotted a bottle you want to try? Add it to your queue or straight to your next box.
• Revisit your profile now and then. Tastes change, and a quick check every few months keeps your boxes on target.
