They are only about .15 cents each so at .50 they sell quick and at .75 they profit high.

I have a Vendo 510 and just started selling Deer Park 16.9 oz bottles. I can only do a single row but I didn't have to modify anything inside the machine.

If you attempt to do them in a bigger column they will usually jam when stacked side to side, I do them straight up on a thinner column in my machine and it has been working great.

I get it at Sam's. Deer Park is owned by Nestle, most of their stuff comes in the same type of bottle. My machine won't handle 20 Oz bottles, but I have been running the 16.9's out of the same slots as cans with no problems.

I have a DN368 that I vend 16.9 bottles of water. I also use the thinner slot. I will have to hit up my local Sam's to carry Deer Park.
Thanks!!!

I have a couple of DN501s that I may need to put bottles in. I have been told that I need to put a conversion kit in with shims and such. Has anybody tried using 16.9s in this machine without making adjustments? Do you think I could stick some bottles of water in and run it OK?
My machine has three larger columns on the right side. I tried putting bottles in these and they would jam when reaching the bottom because they didn't roll against one another like cans do. Instead I put them one on top of another, single deep, with the back spacer pulled forward. They simply push each other down without jamming. I made no adjustments to the "undercarriage" because the cans and 16.9 bottles are the same diameter.

How do you stock your water? Do you put in cap first (towards the back) or caps towards the front? I put mine cap towards the back and it will jam if I stock it full.

I vend both 16.9 Green Tea and Water. I alternate the direction they face every bottle, one faces forward, the other faces back. I have found they usually stack better this way too, no problems vending so far.

Thanks for the information. Are you also able to stock the slots fully? Some have said that they are only about to fill about 1/2 to 2/3 depending on the type of water bottle being vended.
No reported problems since putting them 1 wide and 1 deep in the thinner column. They continue to sell, every time I check the machine I have to put more in.

That's a good idea....I will give that a try to see if that keeps it from jamming.
