Hello everyone. Well this has certainly been one BIG week! We recently have received our stock and have sold out of a few high named items in the matter of hours. As you guys and gals know. I LOVE to innovate, I love to spread out as far as the eye can see in different choices all aimed to be Premium quality items. We spend hours to days to weeks and even months with engineers nightly till the sun rises to bring out the next best thing possible with the sights of helping people find their place in this vaping world to get off of what we know as life threatening habits such as cigarettes and to be there for someone 100% of the way in support. This is the dream and vision of our entire establishment. Competition is clearly worthless to us. Being there for anyone in need holds the true fulfillment.

I'm not disappointed at anyone for selling out of products so fast. Due to the ventures of spreading investments as we just discussed above. Order quantity limits can only be so high due to never ending development, expansion, and not to mention the fear of customs seizing conspicuous shipments. That said I have no choice but to place a limit on Products we carry so that everyone will always have a fair chance to find their vaping bliss so that they too can enjoy the luxuries of vaping without having to stand on egg shells in fear of losing out on catching our stock as it soars in to thousands of customers' email in-boxes. On a Business level, this isn't a good idea, but then again my intention of exploiting our world to bring us (the people) the best to our abilities isn't about making the quick almighty dollar. We have proved this again and again and I know it may be difficult for someone to swallow, it's the god's honest truth and if you still don't believe it. Let this thread be an indication.

All Atomizers will be limited to 10 of each type as 15 will be the magic number for cartomizers. 10 IKV Atomizers will last months to years (if your using the correct applied voltage and liquids, no one should go though more than that in 1-2 months, ever.) 15 cartomizers at a rate of 2 of them a day should see through many weeks into months, way more than enough to see them through until the next stock is available. PLEASE NOTE: You are able to order 10 of each type atomizer or 15 of each cartomizer type freely.

As you guys know this stock has taken the absolute longest in all of our history to arrive due to multiple reasons. Such as, installing USA made heating elements into the 510 and 306 LR and HV atomizers with trials. Also ensuring the liquid was indeed executed perfectly and the ever long dreaded Chinese New year whereas the all workers alike from the factories to the postal system are sent home for a period of 2-3 weeks thus closing all export of China. This length of time will never happen again. Please mark my words on this.

Now on to the amazing disappearing Fusions! As you probably know by now. I keep reserves on all stock just incase of any emergencies. All items that have arrived this week have had 200 qty of each product set a side. We're going to release 100x 801 Fusion cartomizers tomorrow at high Noon EST (9:00am PST) with a set limit of 5 per order. Don't worry as there are more being made right this minute and the maximum limit will be raised back to 15 when the new stock arrives.

Really guys, me not being able to help you and to have you disappointed is a real heart breaker, more than I can put into context. I seen many of you were upset by not having the chance to pick up any of our products that yo wanted so badly because of high demanded orders and this is the only solution that we can put together to spread our passion with as many as possible. I sincerely hope no one is upset by this decision as I know many of you personally who love to order large. My 1st slogan ever made for this business was "For the people" because it's you that keeps us alive, it's you who we work for. You are our higher ups whether you know it or not and that's sits extremely comfortable by me. If you notice old threads, I would always ask you guys(the people) what you wanted as all of your input is taken extremely valuable..always.

With ever sincerity,
Your friend and supplier,
Isaac

Isaac don't sweat the new business approach / thread - you provide a top notch product and wanting to be able to expand your customer base by having more stock available for a wider audience will benefit you in the long run. Not to mention, by limiting purchases it will also give you "breather room" to increase your stock for times of high demand :D

Besides, if you can build a larger inventory while these "restrictions" are in place, you can gradually increase the amount being sold -- if you see fit of course lol.

Thank you Isaac!...Just like the banner says, 'The Goodness never stops!', absolutely great idea, I was wondering how soon you would place a limit...Your products are so unique and functional over the long term...that this move was totally necessary to ensure that more people could experience your superior product line. Thanks again for thoughtful decision.

You have my support 100% on this, as a matter of fact I believe the limitations you have set are more than generous. Personally I would have set them much lower, but then again that could be bad for business.

From a vendors POV having bare shelves is a good thing, not being capable of keeping the shelves stocked is a bad thing as we have witnessed in the last couple of days. OTOH who is at fault? The vendor or his customers?

I would like to reach out to the IKV family here, we are a bunch of junkies salivating for our next fix, and don't really care how our selfishness at times may affects others, as long as we can get "our" fix. That being said, the majority have no pea picking clue what is at stake here or how much capital is tied up at times. The Chinese New Year through a terribly large monkey wrench into the whole situation as well.

In the past all my vaping needs have been met by IKV. I have a reasonable stockpile and only replenish when required as supplies get low. Under normal circumstances the supply and demand at IKV can meet even the most clumsy vapor who goes through attys and cartos like defecation through a goose.

Since the majority of cartos last a good two weeks and more. If one was to vape 2 a day, ordering 10 cartos would see someone in supply for 8-10 weeks. More than enough time to sustain themselves between shipments.

So folks please order responsibly, there are others out there...

Edit: For folks that may be peed at this, Isaac is not the only vendor who has placed limitations on max quantities permitted.

Thank you Beach and Blueberry! I'm really nervous about this thread truthfully but you two are creating ease. I'm very sorry to you Blue, because of being international. I wish it didn't cost so much to ship out to the romantic capital of the world. :(

It didn't even cross my mind, your cartomizers have changed my vaping habits! The price is never a problem..... the length of delivery is another matter (but that has nothing to do with you). Even if it took me weeks to get these, I would still order, quality has a price!

To switched: I totally agree, we are a community, we share the same pleasure and should remember that they are many others that would love to try Isaac's products. I'd rather order regularly (and be able to test various products) than stock up as if WWIII was heading!

Green is go guys.
I made a TERRIBLE mistake. As it turns out, I am missing a box of 50 of them! I been searching high and low here and just cannot find it. I did precount all of the inventory as it came in but am having no luck what so ever located the last box. I believe a mistake had to be made during the last couple of hundred orders the past couple of days. I'm not giving up but I have to ensure that the current 75 orders have a chance of making it out today. I'll keep you posted as I keep searching.

Grammie, this remaining set is max of 5 so more folks can get a chance to get a hold of them. There are more currently in production as we speak. When the full batch comes in, the max will be raised to 15 :)

Thanks! I can wait til the next batch comes in. Trying to use up some old stuff right now (and hating it)! Want to get rid of the old stuff (sure makes one appreciate the new Iken cartos)!

Go ahead Grammie, these will last you a good while, and when the next batch comes in (about 2 weeks) you'll still have 4 good ones left :D

I'm really happy to see you doing this, Isaac. It really shows once again that you are putting your customers above yourself. Let's face it, if it was all about you, I'm sure you would prefer the labor involved in packaging a fewer larger orders rather than a bunch of smaller orders. Afterall, you are creating more work for yourself by having to fulfill a bunch of smaller orders without increasing your profits since the total volume shipped at the end of the day will be the same. You are the man!!!

You are the Man Isaac. These things last so damn long I still have a few from my first order I ever made. Fifteen is my usual order so the 15 level is great with me. I also know you need to think of yourself and quit getting so bothered by the things that happen and have to be done to be fair to everyone.
Every customer you have knows what a great and caring man you are so don't put yourself in a state of worry over us please. Your health matters too my friend.
YOU ARE THE MAN Isaac.
