Nitemareslayar Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I found someone selling 20 of these revive energy mint machines for $600 and I talked him down to $100 for 3500 capsules of revive mints that I plan to just use the capsules for buzz bites and sell off the revive mints or maybe possibly setup 2 machines 1 for buzz bites one for the mints to sell through. These machines vend 1 inch round capsules for 50 cents (2 quarters) and the buzz bites cost about 15 cents each (in bulk 1440 per case) plus whatever the cost for the capsules. What I am getting at is does anyone have any success vending buzz bites? I previously purchased the machines meant for them but had to sell them and never got a chance to try them out through they did jam a lot according to people and a few times I tested them there was problems but anyone with tips for vending buzz bites let me know. Also I was curious if anyone has any experiance with these revive mint machines. Are they any good? Do they jam easily? And how hard would it be to get the stickers off and use them for buzz bites or any other product. Sorry for the long post I just can't seem to find much anywhere that isn't atleast a 4 year old topic with either of these. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huynhhh Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I have revived mint machines, I threw out over 2000 caps with the mints because I didn't wanna be liable for anything and uncapping is very tedious.. Does anyone actually do that? And FYI the sticker on the mint machines are hard to peel.. VERY VERY hard.. Expect 20-40mins per head. I now use the heads as replacement parts (the candy wheel) and what-not, but I have 15 heads and none in location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemareslayar Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Thanks for the heads up but are the machines atleast reliable? And why run away? I know the revive mints may not of done so well but from my experience the buzz bites a lot of people like im just not very experienced in vending them (or anything for that matter). Trying to get into vending as a side income but without a large investment involved and buzz bites have always been a product I love that isn't something everyone else is doing (atleast anymore..)

FrCorey Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 yeah, I wouldn't get them either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemareslayar Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 From what I've heard the biggest problem with the buzz bites was always that the machines were garbage so that's really the only reason I've tried to find a better machine that's already set at 50 cent vends for them. I'm still new to vending all together (never done it and trying this as a way to get in it) but buzz bites has been something I've wanted to do because it's different and me and my friends love them. I know they got a bad rep because of the machines and the people who ripped people off with them just like revive mints (and there were issues with mad dog) but vroom foods (creator of buzz bites) wasn't involved with anything other then the product and has only 1 case minimum for purchases. I just wanted to clarify those few things in case those are the reasons everyone is saying not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Snacks Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Tested this 5 years ago with a "traditional" quality vending machine with acorn capsules and it was a big dud for me. Very simply, the product did not sell well and some customers complained about it not tasting very good.

musser Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Run away because with the same investment in time and equipment you will do better with something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
