TKK Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I can't find any 12oz monsters they are 15.5 and 16oz. I think they are $1.89 each I think ppl wouldn't pay muc for them. Aren't they like 2 for 3 at the gas station? Reason I ask is 2 of my acts I see a bunch of themin their recycle bins were my coked get disposed. However one machine I vend cans its a old Dixie 7up. Can it vend the monsters? And on my other coke machine its dif prices so actually nevermind the 7up one its single price lol but my other act its setup for 2 rows of 20oz powerade which I sell at 1.25 and doesbt do too good. Also how well does 5hr sell and for how much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bil10219 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I've seen the 5 hour energy at convenience stores priced at $2.00. I think you can buy them at the Family Dollar for (suprise) $1.00. Good profit. What sized spiral do you use? Anyone sell them ? Do they sell well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogcow Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I sell the 5hr for 3.00-3.50,not a big seller but long. Expiry and high mark up I sell it from the bigger candy spiral or chips spiral w a cardboard taped to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also can someone tell me if the 16pz monster would vend bettter on the 12pz can column or the 20oz powerade column and for how much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sell them for 2.25 or 2.50. 5 hour energy are around 1.50-1.60 and sell for 3.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKK Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 I gotta check them out at sams ima price em at $2.50 So could I use the column that's vending 20oz powerades or the can columns? I don't wanna mess w them that's y I'm wondering if I can just replace them. The can columns is 3 cans per row not like 2 like other ones and the powerade is 20oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogcow Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 u will have to adjust the column no matter what, the can column may be easier, but you will still have to adjust the rear spacer & cam setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogcow Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 you have been advised numerous times by members here that you need to provide a make/model before asking for specific directions on equipment repair or adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I pay close to $4.00 for 5 hour at the gas station. Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis7s Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 The best price I can get 5 Hr for is about $2.20 (in Canada) so I vend at $3.50. I actually put them in a candy coil upside down. Not ideal, but its pretty easy to tell what flavour you are getting, and the EXP date is clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbishop Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I see 5-hour for sale at gas stations at 2 for $7 all the time. I just got my free shims from 5 hour for my snack machine. the sit over a double spiral column and have a slit in the middle to keep them from getting jamed. The rep told me that Vistar has them in a vending set up with cardboard over the cap. They will fit in the candy slot and not jam. Monsters I sell for $2-$2.50 Mostly I use them in Glass Front drink machines because of the low vloume of sales. I do not want to take up 1/8 of my selections on a slow mover. The glassfront gives me the ability to set up just 1 or 2 rows as needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
