Ben is back now and replying to his support tickets and on the forums. Christy sent me a pm saying they are still slightly backlogged because of his hospital stay.It shouldnt be much longer now.
Hoorah for Ben! Great news that he is back, and a big thumbs up to Christy for keeping things going so well. 
Now, let's cut them a little more slack to let them catch their breath ... we don't want a relapse!

If I close my eyes and think real hard I can taste me some Boba's. Oh crap! I still have 7 or 8 mils!
I know, I am down to like 30ml, from my 160ml order early last month. Getting worried.
I guess I picked the wrong time to get hooked on this stuff. Put me down for a gallon of each when it comes back on line.
Any news on when stock can be expected?
From the date of Christy's message it looks like right on 2 weeks.

Also getting really low on bobas and gorilla. Been waiting for weeks to place an order. Any ETA yet?
I cut my final bottle with extra vg/nic thinking I would prolong the joy of BB. Didn't work
I know times are tough at AVE right now, and they are doing the best they can, but it would be nice to get an update or at least an update to a coming update. I just rest assure that when they have it ready to sell, they will start re-selling them. I'm down to 20ml. I ordered 160ml of Boba's my last order, I'm going to bump it up to 200ml this time. This delay is going to probably set them back to the times where they are only open for 10 minutes a day again. Unless they are making Boba's in advance of reopening orders, which would be so cool. One thing is for sure, AVE is selling a boatload.

See...my fear is that this will turn into the same problem NLV has.....take tons of orders 1 day only then make juice enough to fill the orders....rinse and repeat. Everyone is now gonna order 200ml plus....then we all wait....again.
I don't mind to wait a week or weeks or a month or months but don't like being in the dark if its take a month tell us after all we need a fix ............. lol
You have to understand. It has always been like this. They will stock it when they have it. They both are their most popular and they sell out fast. Always have. Really dont need updates until its in stock. It cracks me up to see all the newbies post in here. I know its hard to wait. But trust me its always worth the wait. For most of you. You have no idea how hard this has been for me. I lost my job over 2 years ago and didnt have any money to buy anything. I was using juice I had lying around or a few years before I finally came into some cash. I have been without my favorite Gorilla Juice for 2 years!!!!!!! Think about that! I guess your wait isnt that bad now.
The thing is.. look at how much money they are losing. When Boba's is out of stock or in limited stock, that's just money out the window for them. It's probably the most iconic e-juice on the market, and lately it has been perpetually unavailable. Why not lease the recipe out to another vendor for royalties? They would still make money off of the product without having to deal with the incredible demand!
I'm worried that they're just going to up and close the business eventually and Boba's will be gone for good. That would be terrible for the community as I have a feeling this one juice has gotten a lot of new vapers hooked.

I wonder if the issue is with the supplier of one or more of the flavoring components. Maybe they can't get the ingredients in the volume they need to keep the product available.
The fact that they can't pin down the date it will be available leads me to suspect this may be the case. They posted a one to two week delay on the site and now two weeks have past. That's awfully imprecise. If it were based on resources in their control, they likely could've given a more solid answer. I doubt they enjoy having to face their customers with these sorts of delays.

Chelseafn,
I may be relatively new, but I have never had any...ANY...problems getting Boba's when I wanted it...until this time around. I do understand the move and illness played a big roll in this shortage. My main concern is that everyone waiting..."Jonesing"....will buy large quantities the minute it is available, sell out in minutes...then we have a shortage again. I have been wanting to try NLV's Bounty Hunter and/or Gold for over 4 months...I can NEVER get there fast enough to get an order in before they sell out...for another month to 6 weeks! So, NLV is off my list...I'm not stalking their site. I won't do it. If this AV shortage becomes a problem like that...well...I won't order from them either. That's all I was trying to say.

It seems pretty ridiculous. With a demand this high for a product, you would think they'd find a way to meet the demand...
Health issues aside, I think the best idea would be to only sell limited quantities of small bottles (so the HOARDERS can't buy it all up - and normal consumers have a chance to try it) or to raise the price.

I thought I saw Ben pop in here or on another forum they thought they'd be back with BB and GJ this past Friday. Still nothing, today. What's up? Hope they at least give another update. Silence is not golden when it comes to customer service.
