Ok,
Malzado/notquaid = Joe,
The ex web designer of IKV 04/10 - 09/10
How DARE you of all people to come in here and slander a customer who was pointing out another who was mentioning a direct competitor in my sub-forum. You, of all people who is responsible for this torrent of heavy labor/burden on me and the longing of precious equipment to my customers. The one who is the very reason why we all have been suffering. I had my hosting provider for 3 years, can you comprehend that none of us have EVER faced anything like these problems. The lay-out was beautiful, the exterior was polished decently. The engine is PURE garbage. Opencart Software does NOT get used nor has a rep for a reason.

"Oh Johnny wants me to look up his order in June"
Sorry, can't do that. I gotta pay Joe 100 bucks for the ability.

"Can you place a phone order like you did for the past few years?"
No, that ability isn't available. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

"Dude, whats up with your away message?"
I know, Sorry, Only Joe can change that. Sorry for the inconvenience.

" Ok Isaac whats up with your statistics here, It's tax season"
Ah I know, had today Joe 100 bucks for that one too, but too bad it's faulty anyway. Guess I'm sorry for the inconvenience..

"Hey, I been trying to contact you on your site for weeks! WTF!
I know, I'm sorry there's something wrong with the mail servers. Can you please re send it?Sorry for the inconvenience.

"Hey! All 58 of us never received a receipt! Did our orders go through? Did you even get paid? Do you seriously have to manually search every single order when your at a minimum 50 a day for the past 2 weeks to kow if your getting paid?"
Hmmm %&* Sorry for the inconvenience.

"As a computer professional, I really don't understand this. Isaac may know atomizers but, he really needs to look after his business a little better. if I couldn't move an application to a new server in one weekend, I'd probably be fired."

Well I wish it was that easy Mickey. Though thanks to Joe who absolutely refused to export any customers or products or anything else for that matter. A switch would be a bit simpler. I say a bit because I am rebuilding from absolute scratch. IkenVape Store Sorry for the inconvenience.

I don't need to prove to you Joe what knowledge I have. You just need to focus on you and your future and get out of mine while I keep mending the destruction. You caused, i'ts bad enough what was behind the scenes but not here , not on this side of IKV Keep your attitude and business to your self and the other great variety that ECF has to offer.
Yes, people do have a right to state whatever the hell they want. It's up to them to do it wisely with civility and consideration with the like mindedness of contributing to help, research, experiences, and just enjoying their lifestyle with fellow family and/or friends. You will always be known as a dark place for me and the business IKV as you are shown to others, I cannot say, but in the future of IKV, it would be best for you to just go and be on your way, back onto your trail as you will not be missed from this standpoint. Though I do wish you all the best of luck in the future and hope you reach your goals. The best advice I can give you, if you want to remain in your field of expertise, leave the abomination Opencart and move on to something much more stable like Magneto. I know you Love OC as probably learned on it, but it should be dead or not released till everything is fully stable and functioning enough to stand in the market as it's own. When it clearly isn't ready yet. Google it if you have to but you must face this cold truth.
Again, I wish you nothing but sincere luck in anything you do for you and your little one and have a nice life and please let IKV go.

Everyone, Thank you so much your kind heartened words and willingness to rough this stuff out. I was doing a few small for favors for folks that are running pure fumes, because this kind of stuff is something that should be taking extremely seriously. God forbid if someone jumps on the smoking wagon again. or worse buy cheap gimmicky stuff :D I'm almost done you guys. I have made an update thread and will continue to add support to the best of my ability. I do have 47 notifications at the moment. So I'm really nail biting here. Thank you again for everything guys. Soon this dark time will be forever gone and there will be nothing but light. Atleast my horoscope says so and it's never been wrong! :D

I think I might need to correct a misconception about something I said. I never meant to imply that some of those that are going elsewhere would not come back in retaliation for the site being down. However, they were looking when they found ikenvape and now they're looking again. Some of them will be satisfied with what they find.

Me too, dang I'm getting soft with my old age :(

Take your time and get it done right Isaac. :)

I'm a noob that likes to have the best or nothing. ;) Ordered a ProVari before my first KR808 PV even hit my doorstep. Had some bad luck with the few atty's I've tried and after some research it looks like the io6 is the best atty on the market. Settling for 'second best' isn't an option cause it usually leads to disappointment.

I'll be here when the new site is ready with my first order waiting, and look forward to being a customer for a good long time. :)

I'm not "Joe'. I'm not sure what notquaid means either. It's your house, your rules here though. That much, I do understand.

Hang on Malzado. I just got your email. Did you know that between your screen name and Joe's last name is only a matter of a couple letters? In response to your email. You are welcome if you would like to stay and please forgive the confusion on my part. I mean it's good that it's out there. Maybe it may help Joe and maybe a few edits are in order or perhaps its too late. Talking about face palming myself. :facepalm:

Well, the only real edit that needs to happen is changing the top line "Malzado/notq......"

In all honesty, we make mistakes - especially when heated/frustrated. I'm just glad that there isn't an identity crisis (reference our last couple texts lmao...)

Hey Mickey,
You know, It's alot like contests. I would LOVE to have one every week if I was able too. I am able to, but I want it to be special for everyone to enjoy. The last few brought on waves after waves of people. Business was good, but it was not fair to anyone that I hold dear. It's much like sharing home with others and one inviting anone who everyone to a house party. The place fills up, get's trampled, and forgotten. All that is left is the roommates and roomie with a mess to clean up and everything is depleted. I always wanted to have an invite only type contest but then it can get to controversial so instead I add little goodies and knick knacks in with orders. Now when you take all of this into account and then settle on the situation at hand. It's alot like the same in different aspects. People may leave, they come back, they may visit every once in a while like some folks do just to keep contact. That's all fine. As long as I'm still breathing, I will always try my best to make the best out of a situation and continue. What I'm trying to say is, problems do happen and they will always occur regardless of how fail safe something is. If people decide to leave Mickey, They leave. Remember I'm only one person here thats filling in all positions as a constant. Help is very sparse as is finding a candidate to fill the needs. I know this will come in short order, but the matter is, that it is not at the moment, but that doesn't mean that I'm standing still or slacking. I mean nothing but the purest intent and mean no offense, but everything is what it is.

Nice to meet ya! Oh Ok, I got just the thing for you then. With the Vari you don't want to hit anything too low say under the 2.3ish area. They said 2.5 but there is a small allowance in the circuitry. What you want to aim for is the 2.5Ω io6. it hits like a dream on 4.8 to 5.5 depending on how intense you like it. I like a smooth vape so 4.9ish is where I did typically keep it. It runs it at a very good temperature and is barely harming the filament.

I have done business with Ikenvape just shy of 2 years now and I just want to let others that haven't know: Ikenvape strives to:
1. give us quality products and to have them available on their site
2. give the best customer service by being available by forum, phone, twitter and skype
3. have knowledgeable members testing beta products and openly commenting in his forum
4. have a stocked supply for those who purchase from him
5. be the best Father, Husband, Friend and Businessman that he can be
Please have faith in him to work out this issue while having a family and a wife who still need his time. Understand that he is working through this to the best of his ability. Also take note that he can only work through the issue with someone else (coder/website people) and when they are available or willing.
Take note that overloading him with e-mails and calls will only delay his ability to get things back up and running.
Let's show him that we can have patience and give a bit of the friendship by being respectful and being nice to all who are not as patient as others. Being rude and leaving him ugly messages will not help him get through this. Encouragement will.
Also, take note that he is not made of money (look at his prices-he could sell his products for more) and this is a big set back for him not being able to have the site up and running (losing money) nor can he order tons of product at any given moment.
God, I Love you Tina

Sounds good to me, will pick up a few of those. :) Do the 3.5's work good at 6v? Would it be much different than the 2.5 at 5v? Was gonna order a couple of each to start out but if there isn't much difference I'll stick with the 2.5's.
