If you have all the time in the world to sit on the internet and whine, you have time to respond to a stock notification in a timely manner. What is it with people who feel the need to blame everyone else but themselves for their issues?

Exactly. That's what I was thinking too..

Wow, according to the twitter feed on their website, they had 19,000 "back in stock" email notifications go out, it's no wonder they sold out so fast. Being down to 1 last platinum punch, I picked up 15 more this go around because I knew they'd be gone in a flash. I just happened to be sitting in front of my email client when the notification rolled in.

I hope this is just a rush to get product after the Chinese new year and that their stock will become more stable over the coming weeks.

EDIT: Just read this, what's the story here?

Then you add lost revenues, lost stock, having to pay more for another company that's more expensive to do business with and you can triple that number.

That has been the story of my purchases in the last six months. A shortage of what I want to buy. There really isn't much of a shortage of the run of the mill products but if you want the best it seems there is always a shortage. I wanted a dna 20 mod and missed out on the first two rounds. They lasted less than two minutes. Finally snagged one. Seems the same with these cartos. I snagged a few the first time to try and would like a restock but understand I am not the only one in this position. I can fill in with other brands but will also watch for the next batch to try and pick up enough till the batch after that one arrives. I admire someone who has a superior product and wish Isaac all the best as he has more demand than inventory.

i totally think they're worth waiting for, and i also think it's kind of fun to get the email notification and jump on my smartphone or my computer and order... the excitement of seeing them in your cart and getting that email confirmation is a rush!!!

...wow, we vapers are dorks, aren't we? but truth be told, they're not just cartos...they're IKV cartos. and yes... they are worth the hassle.

To say I have all the time in the world is a complete fabrication you've concocted in your head to justify whatever opinion you have. There isn't an hour window in which I have to jump on this forum and "whine" as you like to spin it.

I work like most people. I can't just drop everything to order a cartomizer because I have some clock ticking and I can only order immediately when I get an email.

No but you sure find enough time to

. The difference is another customer had the identical problem but related it in an adult fashion on the forum and he was taken care of by one of the other customers. So do you think badmouthing has got you anywhere?

man, we sure do defend the vendors we love, don't we?
note to all posters beyond this point: be NICE. if you have a valid gripe, please explain yourself like an intelligent ADULT (i believe one of the requirements of this forum is that all members must be of legal smoking/voting/dying for their country age). don't badmouth or whine, don't threaten to take your ball and go home. this forum was created so fellow vapers like yourself can HELP each other, and maybe somebody can help you with your issue... if you're NICE.
notice how i EMPHASIZE certain WORDS in CAPS? that's because they're IMPORTANT!
VAPE ON!!!

They are implementing a limit because of my suggestion so yeah it did get somewhere. You consider the way you're talking to be an adult fashion? Funny. Alienating people on an internet forum. Yeah, you're a real winner. What are you accomplishing with that?

Now, you can respond again, ignoring that I just proved everything you said wrong, and move on to something else to attack me for. What's next? Are you going to talk about how I could have had gifts showered on me from the ikenvape gods if I would have said pretty please with a smiley face? Don't forget to call me a whiner again or you wouldn't be fanboying it up like a real forum drone.

If I am frustrated with something I express it. I'm proud of that and respect that quality in people. Deal with it. I'm not going to be like you, ever. Don't want to be, you make me want to throw up.

That's ridiculous. People shouldn't have to be nice or brown nose a vendor. Attacking people for expressing a legitimate frustration or concern doesn't make you superior in any way. You reek of self importance.

they were sold out of what i wanted the first time to, so i ordered a few different ones, the 801 fusions (how the heck lol) 510 fusions, and xl somethings. didn't like the form factor of any of them but they were amazing cartos, i lazied around after the email and still managed to get my LR 510's only 15 but gives me roughly a year to catch them again if i take care of them

It would be cool if we could preorder so that we could be able to secure our needed cartos and the vendor would have more resources to oder what is needed to meet demand..... I'd be happy to participate in that.

It would be nice but he still can only get them made and shipped only so fast. I often thought of a co-op too but alas he's only one guy and in a recoup phase after being stung for a great deal of moola. I feel your pain though. Things will be back to normal real soon though and you won't have to go through this anymore.

I really don't understand this "sting" you guys keep referencing. Can you point me where to read what happened? Thanks

Well in short Isaac sold a large quantity of goods to a couple of lowlifes that were scumbags that used defrauded means to pay for them. The problem was there was no money. Now on top of the money he didn't get (that is in the thousands) he was also out the product they fleeced him for. Add to the woes he was looked upon as a risk by the CC handlers because of it. He now has to pay a redicules charge for every transaction. So you add the money lost, product lost, Revenue lost from being closed after it happened, plus the extra fees for doing business now and it all adds up to an exorbitant cost and almost put him out of business. So now he's playing catch up. Not to forget they just bought a new home that needed repairs and raising a family.
He's a great guy just trying to make it in this world.
