don't know about you guys but I'm ready to order my usual shopping cart of 300 mls of bobas and gorilla juice. but I must say the crying over ave and their vacation time complaints has been a great movie/show for me. sure made the time pass by a lot faster

I know right, all this fuss over them trying to better themselves. These guys are a small business not a corporation or chain. They do this because they love it. All this whining and moaning over people wanting a couple popular juices is ridiculous and disrespectful to these guys. Why dont you go do as most of the rest of us did. Hit up vapealicious or velvet vapors or any number of a hundred other distributors and get something else. I know these guys are not commercialized and this is a mom and pop operation which is why i take precautions and have alternatives. I for one am not let down and will continue to return to AVE till they leave us. Here's to a speedy return and the best of wishes to these guys for all the hard work they put in to giving us great vapes!

(PS) If you also know where to look (Google *hint*) there are many re-sellers of boba's and gorillas as well as MANY DIY recipes i have tried that come pretty damn close even though they over complicate the recipe more then they need to.

Good job contributing to the thread. I am glad to see the cry babies have an advocate on there side. I was beginning to think it was just some unorganized rally of newbies. :p

Out of everything i said that's all you take from it. That was not a demand that was a suggestion. This is not my problem if you have no patients to wait until they return. What poor customer service are you describing, they made no claims to be available during their down time. Nor did they make any claims that they would be providing any services (including holding customers hands) during this transition. I think its all you cry babies that need to get off your own "high" horses.

I take exception to both the newbie and crybaby appellations. Im pretty sure I could teach you a thing or three about vaping. I'm probably not alone in that regards here either.

Like others here, I've been a loyal AVE customer since almost right from the start. People were justifiably upset about the lack of communication from Ben and that's since been rectified through no effort of your own.

You might to reconsider calling people "newbs" with such a low post count.You may have been here since 2011 but evidently you've contributed about as much to the forums as you have to this thread.

Your comments and opinions dont really matter to anyone here but yourself and serve to make a tense situation even worse.No one wants grief from what amounts to a forum troll for voicing their concerns, especially when they are running low on a product they depend on to keep them off cigarettes.

Theres being loyal, being a fanboi, and being a .... for the sake of being a .... and you crossed that line a long time ago.

I hope when they do come back online AVE sells out in the first 15 minutes every day for a couple of weeks making you unable to order and suffering the same fate you seemed to delight in wishing on everyone else.

Somehow I doubt youre even a customer as this is the first time Ive ever seen you post in the AVE forums and then only to "stir the pot" and to tell people they need patients (damnit Jim what do I know Im just a doctor!) or imply that we're "high" (sorry not from Colorado or Washington).

Why dont you come back when you have something positive to contribute and until then keep your opinions to yourself? That shouldnt be too hard for someone with an average of 1 post a week for the last 2 years.

I was sad when they left Texas but did I cry? Nope. They had a couple hiccups when moving and retooling where they were off-line and I couldn't get juice but did I cry? Nope. Jeez give it a rest! Time to try out other vendors, new equipment, new juices and stop fretting. Lifes too short to be negative and grumpy. Get over it.

I was here through the move and through Ben's hospital stay myself. I ripped some guy a new ....... for being a selfish jerk and not reading these threads for information before jumping to conclusions To that guys credit, he actually felt really bad about it and apologized once he knew what was going on.

The difference between the move and Bens injury and this latest closing is that this time the communication wasnt there.Hopefully it's a mistake that wont be repeated in the future.

No ones crying, they were just upset they didnt know what was going on. Now that Bens posted and brought us all back into the loop, you'll notice that people arent nearly as frustrated as they were before all of this. Sometimes a quick update without any real information is better than silence. Especially when silence gives rise to conjecture and worry.

Im just glad that works progressing and that we'll all be able to order soon.

Well said zapped, can't agree more. I think we all can at least rest a bit more easier knowing at SOME point we will be able to place our orders.

You say i am quick to judge yet you know jack about me. Just because i have not been as active as most here on ECF does not mean that i have not been active on other forums and have not been a customer of AVE. I started with AVE as my first choice of vendors when i started vaping. I however did not make them my only vendor. there is a fine line between relying on an ecig t prevent smoking and relying on one vendor for ejuice. You entirely missed my point if all you wish to do is place me as a troll. Especially when there was nothing useful in your posting to contribute to this mess either. I do not see why all of you have to justify this entire whine and moan session as valid simply because they have not contacted you all with updates. From what i see they warned you they would be down. So what it is taking longer then expected. They stated it would take at least two weeks and should have been the first indicator of looking around for alternative methods. If this was more of a discussion on ecigs on general being say banned by the FDA and making it harder for us to vape then sure. It however is not. it is one small vendor that is ran by a minimal amount of people trying hard to get there business back up. If you dont like my opinion on the matter, fine by me, but my opinions are mine to share any time i well please just as thiers. Do not assume that you know anything about me just because of my "stats" here on the forums when i spend more of my time involved with ECF on its IRC platform.
