Great review Dave, I gather you like it a bit! I think trying new juices is the best part of vaping and (if you can afford it) this is a great way of trying a range of flavours that you might not otherwise think of having a go at. I think the price is right, and the package, leaflet and discount codes complete the service well. If I could guarantee not getting tobacco flavours I'd definitely give it a go. I might drop them an email and see what they can do

Thanks for the review. Sounds like a great way to get a cupboard full of juices you don't like and be £25 less well off a month. I would rather get small samples from somewhere like smokerainbow to try new flavours.

Thanks for watching guys, clearly not everyone's cup of tea but the liquids I received are all great quality. £4.99 for 10ml isn't bad for premium liquids considering you'd pay twice that for some... It depends what you're looking for I guess, if you don't like a broad range of flavours then anything like this isn't really going to work but for those of us that do I think it's a really good way of trying 'premium' liquids. And I think that's the operative word. I could buy a selection of cheap liquids and try different flavours but these are all from well respected companies at the top of their game, for any premium product and/or service you pay a premium. As for the free kit, it is a free kit so what it's 'worth' isn't really something I'd consider, if I ain't paying for it then I could care less I realise everyone has differing views and that's what makes this world such an interesting place, this is a service that I'd use and I'd consider it value for money, I think other people would as well but obviously it isn't for everyone....what is?!

I like this idea, top quality high end eliquid samples from here as well as the USA , reminds me of the veggie delivery I get from a well known company ( who's name I can't remember LOL).
General eliquids approx cost £3-4 per 10 ml.
From what ive read on the website £25 for 50ml ( assorted samples).
If this was available back I started to vape, I'd probaly have
a) fast tracked to quality eliquids which I enjoy now b) saved a lot of money on the eliquids I purchased early on which were garbage.
Not bad for those starting on a vaping journey who want to enjoy the well respected eliquids.

The other thing is you save on paying international postage on juices from overseas

While I so think it's a great idea and it was a very good review of what it is. The question I would ask is would I get the same service that you got? Well no I wouldn't. Mine wouldn't say "thanks Erik" when I opened the box. That's probably not an issue but because they did that how do we know they didn't hand pick the juice for that box knowing it will be seen by a lot of people and if I were to buy their service would I get the same or would I get 5 assorted bottles of curried fishsnot and similar.
It will probably be an excellent service with no fishsnot in sight but I would have preferred the box for review to have been a random one. Also any company that says a CE4 and an ego battery is worth £19 isn't getting my money.

It's a great video. It's a great idea (in essence). However, it's a hell of a risk.
1. £25 gets me 100ml of e-liquid. Maybe not Mrs Lords or T-Juice, but nice enough to vape and enjoy. If I want to buy a premium liquid, I can't afford a £25 lucky dip. 2. Pretending freebies are "worth" a certain amount of money was barely a selling tactic in the 1990s. "Free watch worth £99.99 with every life insurance product"... nah... give something away... don't pretend.
I want to like it, I really do. It'll be a scarily transient customer base.... probably not strong enough to make it work long term.

I disagree djs, and 25 quid gets ME 300mls of juice I can guarantee I'll enjoy because I mix it myself. On top of the cheap and mix my own though, I also buy Pluid @ £6.50, Snake oil @ £4.33, mrs lords @ £5.50, all plus postage (as is mysizzlebox) the thing is this isn't aimed at the budget vaper, it's aimed at people who like to try a variety, and who don't mind to spend a bit. It's not reasonable to knock it on the basis of it being a lucky dip, any ejuice purchase is entirely a lucky dip. I love trying new stuff, but I always try the same types, fruits, puddings, things I think I'll enjoy. I like the idea of being sent a random selection every month of stuff I mightn't have tried otherwise, especially from premium businesses. As their range grows, and hopefully to the States soon, it'll become an even better deal, especially as they'd be doing away with the intl shipping costs At the end of the day if you like Joose juice juices at £1.50 a bottle and you're happy then you're never going to buy in to this type of offer. Joose juice is fine, but if you want to try another level and have £20 quid to burn once a month, then why not? When they do 10mg juice or thereabouts I'll sign up. The freebie is a mistake, granted. This business will get off the ground from forum sales and forum sales only, if they'd have said it was worth a tenner (which it ain't) no-one would've batted an eyelid! Cest la vie!

I think it's a really innovative idea and love the concept . . . would I subscribe? No I wouldn't, because mixing my own eliquid has made me a tight wad when it comes to eliquid purchases. But I can fully see the attraction and think it's brilliant that we're being offered so much choice now.

Admittedly I put the price on as a sales hook (it's what businesses do), but the kits I've got are of a quality I'm happy with and priced accordingly (£14.95 + £4.95). You are always going to be able to buy stuff cheaper somewhere, that's the joys of a free market, but just bear in mind they're not all technically same products even though they share the same name, and price isn't, and shouldn't be the only deciding factor. I know this isn't going to be for everyone, it was never meant to be. There are people who see anything over £1.50 as day light robbery so it's certainly not for them. But that's not what mySizzleBox is about. It about discovering new and exciting eliquids, finding them and bringing them together in a cost effect box, making the whole process of reading/watching reviews less of a chore and to give you a little 'sizzle' surprise every month. Just like your every own treat to indulge in every month. I'm not out to make a fast buck I can assure you that, which is why I'm offering a risk free guarantee. But there are certain things that are needed to be done in the back ground to ensure safety and quality and that isn't cheap. I hope that shows in how I have presented it. Oh, and BTW, what Dave experienced is exactly what you will be getting, including getting your name on the inside. Certainly no fishsnot inside here

Darlink mySizzleBox . . . I think you need to be applying for Vendor status on here, otherwise the fish will have to be wielded.
