RikaKazak Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 So I'm going to be locating later this week/next week for the first time on the bulk side (only done cotton candy machines so far) and I've learned from reading this forum that one of the biggest mistakes new bulk candy vendors make is over filling their machines (and wasting product). Question: How full do you fill your machines then? I have vendstar 3000s, and purchased PMM, Skittles, and Reeses Pieces to start out, and I got them in 41 or 42 ounce bags. Should I just do 1 bag per head? 1.5 bags? 2 bags? Thanks guys, I really appreciate the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagesVending Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I usually start with between 1/3-1/2 of a canister, which is around 1 (42-56 oz) bag of candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjacks Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I second the recommendation to just throw a bag worth of candy in it and make adjustments as you go. No way to really tell and you should check the location more often at first until you know what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reel Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Definitely no more than 50% of the canister!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Vending Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Really depends on the location. Are you putting it in a vacuum sales store or a break room of a large manufacture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
