wbuffett Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 hey everybody. i have just purchased a vending route of 4 combo snack/soda, 2 stand alone snack and 2 stand alone soda for a total of 8 units. i just found this forum today and am very excited to see so many like minded people helping each other. the previous owner was vending deer park 20oz bottles and i have come to realize that these bottles are constantly getting stuck (not dropping into place after a vend) due to the thinner more maleable plastic they use. does anyone have a problem like this? how can i fix it? what water would have a harder plastic to prevent this problem? what water product are you vending? thanks in advance. chris service first vending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vendcobros Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I sell AquaFina Water bottles and they don't get jammed at all. I buy them at Costco or through Vistar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technivend Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Aquafiina and Dasani in 20oz are both made for vending. Poland Springs has a 16 oz made for vending as well. Deer Park is part of the Nestle Water group (Poland springs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, 20 oz bottles are for the most part only available through the bottlers. Sam's does have a 20 Ozarka bottle that a friend of mine says works way better than the 16.9. Only going by what he says, don't use them myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boazcat Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I use the Ozarka 20oz bottles from Sam's and they are made for vending. They work pretty good, but not as good as Dasani 20oz that I can only get from the bottler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
