i just got my 5 sampler, took 16 days from order to the email that it shipped. May hold off and let em steep as they were bottled maybe 5 days ago. their packaging is also great, i open the box and...very fancy, attention to detail, i have not unwrapped the lil bottles, i wanted to take a pic of the presentation before unwrapping

It was so worth the wait. I've just received my 'little bit of everything' and so far all of them are great! Now I see why they offer 'giant' bottles on their website.

I tried WR in an 18 ml bottle. As soon as I tasted it, I stalked AiV for the next opening and ordered a 60 ml bottle. When that gets low, I will repeat.

When the juice is this good, bring on the hoops (don't like to jump, but will if it's worth it).

I'm at 3+ weeks waiting for my order from AiV. Is that normal for this vendor?

It is common, but to the vendor's credit, they are straight forward about this. I know how it is. When you first decide to order, you think to yourself, 4 weeks, no big deal right? I can do it. Then you place the order, and you try not to think it about every hour, on the hour, but you can't help yourself. Actually, I may have waited longer than that. I try not to think about it.

I'm letting my sampler steep a bit - mainly because i'm finding myself liking my c4 more than my vivis and T3 right now. I have zombie fresh out of the box in the c4 and i'm trying to polish off my sample bottle in record time ;)
I think i'll just go down the samplers leaving the ones I think need a steep the most til last (bandersnatch i'm thinking is one)

I should get my second sampler and some bigger bottles next week! yay!

I could not fathom waiting 4 weeks for an order, no matter how good the juice is. Add steeping time on to that and it is just plain crazy!

It does take a little of the enthusiasm out of trying a new vendor, if the wait is really long. Add to that whatever steeping time you give juices (I usually do about a two-week steep time), and I find myself waiting close to 6 weeks before I try any juice out of this order.

Still, I want to see if all the raves AiV gets is true, so I will hold out a little longer. My order finally got to me this morning, so it's time to set them aside for two weeks, and see if AiV delivers....

I'm new to this, but I ordered from a vendor and got 2 bottles of 30ml, and two of 15ml and that was a few weeks ago and they still seem unvapeable and maybe never will be. I ordered from AIV and yeah, the excietment was hard to wait, but I immediately started vaping one of mine and it's delish.
plus the care and extra special touches they made on my super tiny order (one sampler = 11 bucks plus 3 in shipping) and extra sample they threw in made me feel really special and excited about such a small purchase.

Plus, if you know there is lead time, you can plan ahead. I should get my second order next week...and once I figure out a few flavors I like i'm logging in and ordering them ASAP.

I am a commercial fisherman and I can't wait a month before I receive an order. Chances are, I will be in Alaska before the order comes and they will set for up to 8 months before I can get to them.
That would be plenty of steep time... J/K.

It is a long wait, but I still order a bottle now and then from them because its pretty good juice.
