The sale will be active and the site opened at 12:00 a.m. CST everyday of the sale. Last night they sold out quick.

So is that why when you try to place an order now it says there is no active payment system available. I was just going to place an order, and now it wont let me!! That sucks bc this was going to be my first order from AVE ever, and I was looking forward to trying Bobas, gorilla juice, and Raf-a-licious for the first time!

So they will be opening it again at 12:00CST tonight? Geez if thats true that kinda sucks bc Ill have to wait till 1AM to place an order!

Yeah, Thats the time the sale starts. They said they only wanted to take as many orders that they could fill in a day and still have full stock after the sale is over. I guess that's better than them taking a ton of ordrs and having to wait a month to get your juice.

Yeah, and apparently they closed down the site after only 30 minutes of the sale last night. I got on right after 12 CST and ordered and did not get the 20% off discount either (same with a bunch of other folks). So if i were you, i would get on there and wait maybe 5 minutes before placing your order to make sure that they have the sale price functioning so it comes off when you check out. Dont wait too long tho!

No offense, but would it hurt some of these vendors to hire a couple people to help out? I realize there's a family issue going on, but seems like some vendors are always behind and out. Another vendor only sells juice two nights a week.

My take on it is that most of these vendors are small 'family run' enterprises. As such, they take pride in providing a quality product. Whenever a small run business decides to take on 'outside' help, they risk quality control in their product by turning production over to an 'employee' who may or may not have the same vested interest in the business.

Maybe. It could be because it's a fairly 'new' venture but people seem to get very personally invested with some of the vendors and give them way more slack than we would with anything else we purchase.

I've worked in labs. They don't have to share their recipes, but maybe have someone do orders or line up bottles or order stock or do some packaging. KFC has a secret recipe but they manage to have a few employees.

I mean seriously. You're out of a product in 1/2 an hour?

It is apparent that AV is a small operation that is not scalable. That is unfortunate because I need a reliable and consistent vendor that I can count on to order juice on my terms; right now, customers must order on AV's terms. Also, AV really should have just come out and stated that it is unlikely customers will get an order in during their sale. It appears from the threads you had to be up at midnight to order because the payment system had about a thirty minute window in which it was active. I tried ordering five different times over the past two days but to no avail.

It's too bad AV has not or will not add resources to adequately support the demand for their products. It has been a bit annoying trying to order from their site the last three days and not being able to pay for the product. I finally ordered from another vendor. Hopefully, the juices are good.

Eesti,
Check out BlueMist Vapor. They are a quality juice vendor and Rob runs his business well and can handle high volumes of orders. They have a huge selection of juices, 250+, and their prices are really good. $5 for 10ml, $10 for 30ml. They also offer sample packs which I recommend you get so you can try a bunch for cheap, and you can pick your own juices for a sample pack. You can get (5) 3ml sample juices for $10 or (5) 10ml juices for $20. I'd get the 3ml bottles to start bc then you can get a few and try more juices to figure out what you like. They also offer extra flavor shots for .50 cents more and if you find a juice you really like you can get a 180ml bottle for $30, which breaks down to $5 for 30ml. It's an awesome deal.
There are many vendors that have some really good juIces, but alot of them are expensive, and especially if your looking to buy a bunch and figure out what you like. Thats why I really like BlueMist bc they have alot of really good juices, bu their also really cheap too. And they have such a huge variety that you can try all kinds of different flavors to see what types of flavors you like. I've never had a problem ordering from them and they do a good job of keeping their juices in stock and available. Everytime I've ordered, I've never not been able to get a juice I wanted bc it wasnt available. Also the majority of the times I've ordered they've shipped my order the same day I placed it.
You can get all their juices in either 80/20 PG/VG or 100%VG and they are all made fresh. You can also buy the DIY flavor of every juice they sell which is awesome bc then if you ever start making your own juices, you can get the flavors of the juices you really like and make them yourself, which is even cheaper.
They sell everything you need to make your own juices too. I purchased all my DIY supplies from them when I started and have been really happy with their stuff. Their nic juice is good quality and you can get different size bottles and different strengths. I got a 120ml bottle of 60mg/ml for a good price and it's lasted quite a while. You can also get 100mg/ml which will last even longer bc it only takes a very small amount to cut it down to the mg you vape. Their PG and VG bottles are some of the cheapest I've seen too. 120ml bottles for $4. And then you can get 6ml bottles of flavoring for only $3. That's the main ingredients to make the own juices and it's not expensive at all. Then they Also have an assortment of syringes, pipettes, empty bottles, etc to give you everything you need to mix the juices. And they also offer the optional things you can add to juices if desired, menthol crystals, menthol drops, sweeteners, tobacco absolute, etc.

That's why I really like BlueMist bc they offer tons of great juices and everything you need if you decide you want to make it cheaper and make their juices yourself

I may be wrong but, I don't think every vendor has a storefront type business. Some may be doing it out of their houses. Like I said I may be wrong. I know many mod makers do it from their house's. If that's the case, I'm sure, unless it's family or friends, you wouldn't want to just bring people into your house. You are 100% right though, some vendors are given way more slack than others.

Tuff crowd! Hey, I'd luv to have cu$tomer$ line up at my 'puter. I seriously doubt AV has 'lost' GJ buyers due to limited availability.
