"Mini-update: we are still offline and testing. We will not be open at all over the weekend and I'll have to check to see if we will be opening at all next week. I plan to but I have to ensure some operations on the back end of the website are working. If we do open with this interim website it will be non-scheduled as the website is still rough and likely won't handle the connections required from an announced opening (so many people on the page pressing F5 creates a pseudo DDOS attack and can crash the interim website)"
I think you will just have to keep checking in to see if it is open.

Thanks cctex, I am aware of that update. The reason why I opened this thread is that the store was open yesterday and the homepage continues to state that the store 'will re-open tomorrow'. Perhaps a better title would be 'Will Alien Visions be Open Today and IF so What Time?'. There are many on this site like myself that would like to put in an order without monitoring the site all day and as you identified people constantly refreshing of the homepage is not good.
Thanks!
I think the real problem is when he does say he will open at 10:00 people get on at 9:55 and start banging away at the F5 key. I'm sure if I'm wrong about that I'll be corrected.
I've been waiting patiently to get an order in as well and don't want to have to stalk the site. It would be nice to get an auto-email sent out to registered customers when AVE is randomly open. Otherwise, I guess I'll continue to wait until the site is in full operation and the chaos subsides.
I'm sure with the fancy pantsy new fangled site there must be a setting for that.......
It was open today for a bit in the late afternoon.... people are getting orders in and should take a bit of pressure off once the site opens for good. It seems like they open each day now at a different time. If you checked the site every half hour or even once an hour , you would have a good chance of getting an order in.
Be very quick if you do. Registering takes seconds and load your cart and checkout. I would have liked to try hype, christy's cap, gamel and maybe one other. Next time. Just grabbed BB and GJ the third opening.

I happened to check before I ran out of the house and got an order in finally. Had to place 2 orders actually, because when I got to check out, I could not order what was originally in my cart so I took what I could. Either way, I finally got enough BB for me and some family members. 
Finally got an order in myself yesterday. Was getting VERY low on BB.
I'd like to try some of their other flavors but with the store opening and closing so fast, I really doubt I'd have time to "browse".
It's OK though, My BB's on the way so I'll be fine until they fully reopen. Then I can browse to my heart's content.

We aren't officially open and for good reason. If the website is opened it is only due to testing. As we spent the day filling orders and the web developers were busy with their own work we didn't open today. I expect to be offline the rest of the week with no testing, but we will see. The developers could shoot me a call and request I open up for a bit (which is why I opened up previously)
I expect to be offline though because we are getting close to the official opening and there is a lot of tweaking and polishing to do.

I know for sure I don't speak for everyone when I say I do appreciate the short windows of opportunity when you were open. It was sheer luck I was able to take advantage of one of those brief openings.
Really glad I got an order in then. I'm moving from CT to NJ soon and It's nice to know I will finally be stocked up on BB again since my last order was around Christmas for 200ml. I have about 10ml's left. Thanks again Ben!
I got my AVE order in today. I had been getting my juice at a B&M. When their stock ran out, I tried to order online for the first time. I have been trying and trying and trying. I wasn't greedy. Only ordered 30ml bottle. I figured it would get me through the big rush until everything settles at AVE. I am so happy. Seeing posts where people were able to order left me sad. I was so desperate I purchased a pack of cigarettes during the down time. But, I did try some new vendors and found a couple of different juices I really like. I can't wait to get my order. My confirmation email made me smile.
