Hello. This is probably a stupid question, but I'm going to ask anyway. I tried to order e-juice and coils from an online vape store. I chose what I wanted and placed the items in my cart. Then I proceeded to checkout, the site told me I would be redirected to complete my order. My computer blocked this, telling me the site was a threat to my computer. After refreshing back to the site, I tried again. This time my computer told me the checkout site cannot be reached. Did I do something wrong? Something wrong with site?

Wow, I think I would avoid that site. In five years of buying online from vape shops I've never been redirected unless I use paypal.
Seems a bit shady, listen to your computer

Without knowing the site I have to agree with Marc.
I've never had a legit site redirect (PayPal excluded).

I would suspect there is something wrong with this site if your system blocked it. Unless it's a vendor you've used before or one of the registered ECF suppliers, I would probably not use them.
Probably an issue with the site's security certificate. Try another website?
Google the product you're looking for. Somebody out there has it if it's even remotely popular.

Totally agree. I will say that IE blocks Efun on mine but Firefox doesnt and I have ordered from them a bunch of times. You can always check the site here. https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website
There are other places to check sites

It might be useful to name the site. It might help warn another vaper here and if anybody's used them, they can give you more info.
Run away! And when you stop to catch your breath, welcome to the board.
Before you click that "order" button
I should also add that some payment processors have some weird thing with credit card verifications that will result in a redirect. Haven't seen one in a while, but they're out there. Not necessarily a bad thing, but definitely a pain in the hind end.

Thanks for all the great advice. That was the first time I tried that particular site and was looking for a certain coil with a sleeve. i don't know if it had anything to do with processing my credit card because I didn't get that far into the checkout procedure. I really don't want to bad-mouth the site, cause it may just be a problem on my end. The site's name is "CVAPOR".
Well, I don't think you are badmouthing the site, just alerting to a problem they may be having, which may be a tech problem *or* something else.
IDK, I've seen sites selling items that aren't "kosher" to ship to a particular country, I don't know why they do that, nor have much experience with it, but it may be some sort of "secure server" or something, which I personally wouldn't want much to do with, since I buy my products legitimately. That's just the only thing I can think of, though of course it might be something else. But, I wouldn't continue a purchase if a site behaved in that manner, as it just doesn't sound too legit to me. That site can either change it's way of doing business, or not be surprised if it does not have much....

I can tell you right now, do not order from them. MageReport scan shows some serious issues with their shopping cart. They could also stand to do some minor tweaking on the server to improve their cipher security as well.
This is why I recommend some basic security scans before ordering from any site. Go to the link in my earlier post. It explains all.
I just checked the Cvapor site with Scamadviser's own website and it says it's from a high risk country.......
Also states the site is based in the netherlands but most likely china.....

And I checked out the site. All I can say is I believe it is based in China or Hong Kong. Their shipping options state that they ship VIA EMS, so That in itself seems like a dead wringer for the location. The website saying it's registered in the Netherlands is not a concern... I
Do I know if it's a safe spot to shop or not, I cannot say. I will say their prices aren't worth taking the risk. If a site like that gives any sort of security issues, then I's simply go to a reputable site that doesn't have any issues.
There are some other sites based in China that I would prefer rather than an unknown site. Any site in China will say it's a high risk country. That doesn't mean that they're necessarily a bad company or untrustworthy. I have ordered many things from China with little incidence. Just keep in mind they usually offer free shipping, and it will take a while to get to your country. I usually allow 3-4 weeks for delivery. Customs issue is another problem. I would make sure to order batteries from a local source, since battery shipments can be tricky going overseas.
Other Chinese companies that I've bought from, are Gearbest and Fasttech. I usually pay via Paypal or I will buy a gift card first, then use the gift card to pay... Even if the company is trusted, my card info is sent through many computers, and I do not trust the distance issue.
Anyways, those are just my suggestions.
