Sorry, but there is no active payment system.

So are they effectively "closed" on the weekends now? I tend to do a lot of my online ordering on weekends, and was surprised to see the shopping cart system offline (it's been a while since I ordered last)

I'm still going to order, but was curious when this started...

I went to place an order just now and got this message...so does this mean I have to try again tomorrow?

I've been trying to put in my first order all weekend, hopefully I will be able to put in my order tomorrow. I really want to try some Boba's Bounty!

It's up now...

Ok, I just tried again, no luck. It still says the same message. I am starting to get a little frustrated, do I have to hit it at a certain time?

The site goes live at 8 am CST Mon-Sat, sometimes earlier. If I want to make an order, I usually start checking at 6 am CST if I can't get it when I initially try to order.

Thanks Andy. I will try again tomorrow as well.

Lake Charles?!?!?! WTF?!?!?! I grew up in Sulphur!

They only take so many orders in a given day. Most Sundays, you can't order if they got a lot of orders on Saturday. The payment system comes down when they reach max order capacity that they can fill. Then the site goes back up at 8 am the next day (sometimes earlier). I came across this thread at about 10 am CST and I could put an order in. I would assume that there were enough orders early on that they reached their capacity early on today. I would try again tomorrow morning starting at 7 or 8 am CST, I imagine the payment system will be up and running.

Thanks for the info I am really wanting to try some of these famous flavors I here about like bobas and gorilla juice. And it is cool to see there is some more southwest Louisiana people on here(I see your no longer here) THere is another lake Area guy on this forum as well named DangYankee.

Now I understand how it works, but I'm in the EST time zone and leave for work around 7- that's 6AM CST. I'm slammed and work and can't get on line anyway (e-cig places are banned by my school system's ISP)....then when I get home it will be too late to order as the site will be taken down. I'm in a pickle- I'm just about out of AVE juice.....

@TD check our front page it explains why we're truncating orders for the next week. Once we're back full throttle we promise to make it up to everyone.

YAY I got me an order threw so I can try this stuff I keep hearing about all over here.

Me too! I was able to order at 8:00 this morning. I am excited to try some of this juice I am hearing so much about.

 

[djwyman]

I think yesterday was just a bad day to try since all of the AVE regular customers were all awake early waiting to order...if it wasn't the internet it would have looked like a black friday sale line yesterday.

 

[TennDave]

Porphy,
If you can open your payment system at 6AM your time I would have a chance...otherwise, I don't see how I can order before Saturday and I'm out of juice completely now. I do have some nic and some VG, so I'll mix up some no flavor juice to get me through.

I would much rather have a company monitor and stop taking orders when they know their limit has been reached rather than having their shipping and processing backed up and cause delays of 6-7 days to ship orders. Thank you for the response!

I'd rather be able to order and wait two weeks for it to arrive than to check the website daily, each time to be told that I can't order. I've tried multiple times, different days, different times of the day. Normally, when I get up in the morning, I get going pretty fast and head out to work. That's not the time of day I spend looking at ECF and placing orders and such. This morning, I thought "If I order in the morning, before they close the order system, I can get an order in". Nope, I still can't. Now the weekend is coming up, and if they won't take orders during the week, I can be sure they won't on the weekend. And I'm going out of town anyway. So next week, I could try again.

Or I could order juice from a vendor who actually wants to sell juice. I'm sure there are places would would be glad to sell me some juice.

The same thing happened the last time I tried to order, around early March. Now it's a month later and it's still going on.
