Hey, I got my shims set in right and am now VENDING WATER!  drinking Problem was I didn't have one in place to see how they should go and I couldn't see the side next to me down deep to see where the tabs fit. I stuck a mirror down in there and found some slots. Problem is they don't come down that chute very easily. Sometimes they hang at the door, but can be pulled thru.
I have 5 columns, 3 go into one chute and 2 into the other. They seem to vend easier on the wider chute. Easier to get out. 
BIG QUESTION:  Can you "lube" the shutes? With what? I don't want the bottles to be greasy.


Here are some more questions I have.

  • Where can I get some flavor labels? I would like ones for Diet Coke CANS and Diet Caffeine free coke CANS and Dasani water and regular Coke in 8 0z bottles.
    Are they universal? Do you trim them to fit?
    Here is the panel they go in:
  • Someone said they had a sticker for the amount that I could buy. Please PM me, as I really would like to have that .50 sticker. Would also like the deposit sticker.
  • I know some say that they just keep a jar of coins and let people vend that way. Does that put a lot of wear on the vending mechanism?
  • Is it my imagination or some columns wider than others?

I love this machine. We've "bonded". tounge
Thanks!

I'd suggest a nice coat of wax maybe, but not any kind of oil or lubricant. "stiction" ( a new word I just made up) can be a problem with thin plastic / soft-sided water bottles

K, I'm good with that. Any help on the label? I think I can just print up some flavor strips.
I really would like that .50 cent sticker and deposit sticker.

The wax worked like a charm. Great idea.
Thanks!
