They vend well but keep an eye on them with the heat. They clump up in the heat. I have a location with 27 heads and mike and Ike's were the one machine that jammed and went out of order. Looked at the machine and mike and Ike's were clumped together in the wheel and it was a huge mess. Coin mechanism wouldn't even turn because of that. It was nasty, but I cleaned it out and will have to replace the parts next time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkochan Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 M&I sell well for me but, you must vend them in locations that are cool. Otherwise, they will stick together and not vend.Sent from my LGMS631 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 They do tend to clump together. If you pour them in a bowl and take a wooden spoon(that had been sprayed with flavorless cooking spray) and stir them around, they won't clump up nearly as much. If they're in a warm place, there is no amount of spray that will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petersvending Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I am just guessing but I would imagine the same thing happening like the Mike and Ikes are. I love HT's hate GP's! LOL!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I don't carry good and plenty, I would need to ship it in. Hot tamales aren't really great sellers around here, but I've heard some people sell a ton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been over a year i've been in the pacific northwest, and I've only had one jam up of mike and ike. I cleared it, and did absolutely nothing, and it never has happened again. Can't tell you why it happened, but keep all your candy out of direct sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigzag Vending Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 If the spoon thing is too much work, spray a stripe in a hallon freezer bag under the zipper on one side, just a half second spray or so, then dump the bag of ikes or tamales in it and shake 'n bake style.

Also, does it work after they clumped together lightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how well it will work if they've already started sticking together, but probably wiry a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
