I agree 100%! We are self-employed ourselves and can definitely sympathize with the cost of running your own business. We appreciate what you do for the vaping community!
Nice post 5CS..... If I could "like" your post I would
I'm very sorry Ruppy it wasn't my intention to anger anyone. I just think Isaac takes allot of heat that he shouldn't be taking and believe me it bothers him. He's a very nice guy and when he can't help everyone it has that affect on him. If I seen it happening to you I'd speak up too.
Uhhhh nah it was a facebook reference
I was seconding your post I guess I shouldnt assume everyone would get a facebook thing. I resisted the facebook for a LONG time......Kids sucked me in..........

I was a holdout too until one of the ecig contests sucked me in. Then I was bombarded daily with entries from that same ecig site so I deleted them from my friends list.
I sure had that wrong Ruppy, Now I understand what you mean by the Like reference. I guess I'm just to dang slow. Ha Ha Ha, oh and tee he he. I feel like a dope.

Dang it all! I missed them and I'm totally out of these! They are tops on my list... Maybe next time I can catch them!
I think He's got more on the way. Better sign up for the alert thing.

Thank you so much my dear friend. You truly understand me through and through. Haha there's nothing that I can get by you, nor would I ever.
Last time the Fusions went, but not nearly as fast. There was no way I would've ever foreseen this coming. I mean there hardly any inquiries lolYES YES and YES. You nailed a BIG one Switcher. A while ago. Well lets start from the very beginning. I started off with $1,000 that were actually donated by an old friend Mamu and Di. $500 went to cost of commerce, business license, hosting, development and what not. The other 500 went to actual product. I built the store up to $5,000 total from it. I was urged by my old friend whom is a rep for SLB to make bigger orders. So we did. I placed the order for 3,700 as much as I can afford to keep the business running. The order got stuck in customs for 3 weeks, then was reported "Seized", SLB abandoned the package. They apologized and offered discounts on future orders. I had nothing and all money was lost. I had to quickly grab every cent I possibly made with my 2nd job and put fourth Everything I owned into reinvesting. We're talking selling personal items and all to generate funds to keep this dream from waking. The hardest accomplishment ever done in my life. All because the order was too large for me to handle to lose. Funny thing is, Customs called a couple months back offering for me to pick up that order from across the country and that in order for me to be able to pick it up. I would have to pay storage fees for the past 1-2 years!... not to mention a shipment seized by you know who. OTOH, greedy folks grab more than what they truly need
Your aways the coolest Doc. I'm going to make a thread bout this in just a moment.
THANK YOU NC!I agree 100%! We are self-employed ourselves and can definitely sympathize with the cost of running your own business. We appreciate what you do for the vaping community!
Just hang on Grammie, stay tuned for the thread. There will be enough time.
Maybe next time I can catch them!
Lol Loft, like crooked police huh? Ah teenage years 
Well 5Card you know..it is logical. I mean it's not hard for someone to get a suppliers address. Hence why we opted for multiple po boxes at a few locations. Back when we were using the home address.

Exactly! Down with them all! lol...
It really frosts my chops that our own government squanders such enormous effort and (taxpayer-funded) expense to prevent "free" citizens from practicing "free" enterprise in the global capital of capitalism.
Small business is the most likely source of new job creation. But our "leaders" do more to harm small business than anything else.
The risks taken by entrepreneurs and the potentially disastrous consequences Isaac just shared is exactly why frustrated would-be customers should temper their criticism, IMO. Those risks are particularly huge in an industry of lightning-fast-change such as electronics, where forecasting demand is a crapshoot. It's also painful for a small business owner to see those frustrated people and realize they represent lost sales, at least in the short term.
It's wonderful to see a businessman place such a high priority on quality control, especially when I know it must be costing him money. The small assortment of Isaac's products I've tried have been such a relief of satisfaction vs. other vaporizing components, those "others" have been relegated to "backup gear" in my mind. So his commitment to quality is important to me - I don't really want to bother with stuff that doesn't say "IKN" on it, not anymore.
We're only just now getting past the Chinese holiday glitches - inventory shortages should start easing for all suppliers any day now. I've been frustrated too, there are several items I've been waiting months to try myself. So let's all pace ourselves, please don't overbuy in order to hoard and stockpile... because you know what? That sort of customer behavior can disrupt a small business too. And I for one sure don't want IkenVape to be disrupted!

My sentiments EXACTLY..Dont get me wrong. Hats off to Issac and IKV. But I have completely given up,whats the sense in falling in love with something, then never being able to get it.
At the moment Im workin 7/12's...absolutely impossible to get anything..even IF there was enuf.
But look at the bright side....more for all of those who can jump outta bed in the middle of the night. Good luck all.
Again...my sentiments.....But..you are one of the lucky few that have been able to get what you want from IKV, for the most part, which is super cool....for you. So, its gonna be hard for you to see it from my standpoint.
You and me both, waiting for them but by the time I got on line they were gone.
Well our horney congressmen and representatives are always getting caught with their hands in the cookie jar plus you read almost daily where some treasurer is busted for stealing funds. The government has become a license to steal just about. They throw some guy and his family out of a business thats been in the family for generations so they can build a mall or chain store then you find out the polititions got a nice kick back to make it happen. I wouldn't put it past them. I just read this morning about a narcotics officer got busted taking drugs they busted someone for.
So let's all pace ourselves, please don't overbuy in order to hoard and stockpile... because you know what? That sort of customer behavior can disrupt a small business too
I agree with both of these point of views. I am glad Isaac is putting a limit on how many people can buy. Its frustrating. Not all of us are able to be at a computer 24/7. If you're working and something is release at night then you wake up in the morning getting ready for work, checking my computer isn't the first thing I do. I'm trying to get to work so by the time I see the news update which came in the morning on my computer, I gone on site they are gone. I don't think anyone is trying to get angry or insult Isaac but it can be frustrating after waiting a long time for the product to come in. As a distrubtor I am sure Isaac understands and can cope with some of the frustration expressed on the site.
