chrisdunn77 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 they can vend 1" capsules really? that would work perfect! do you have to do anything special to the machine? or just adjust the candy wheel out to the max position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooldini Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I actually am not sure if you need to get a gumball wheel or if they come with it. I bought mine used with gumball wheel in it. Look at your middle canister and if it has one big round hole and just looks different down in the canister it probably has gumball wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mage Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 The Vendstar 4000 comes with a gumball wheel, but the 3000 doesn't. While I really wasn't trying too hard, I haven't really seen Vendstar gumball wheels for sale on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Snacks Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 You can not reliably vend gumballs or acorn shaped capsule toys from a candy wheel! You will need to purchase separate wheels for those. That is one BIG DOWNSIDE to buying biz-op equipment IMO - those biz-ops are way too candy centric. We all start off as candy vendors. But as you evolve and progress in bulk vending, you will eventually want to sell non-candy products. So having equipment that supports gumballs and capsule toys will make your transition smoother. I once had a Vendstar vendor call me to offer to sell his cases of (probably stale) gumballs since his vendstars were jamming due to trying to vend gumballs from a candy wheel - I guess he failed geomtry! Beware: Biz-ops will price gouge you for those wheels! Jax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
