If this sale would have opened at 8am EST, a lot of the west coasters would be crying that they missed it..Unfortunately I am on the east coast and by the time I get home from work every day, the site is down. I had my wife try to order my juice today but she just wasn't fast enough.. I am one disappointed AVE customer tonight..
I've been an avejuice customer for a long time and to all you who are in pain, I get it. I work nights on the East coast(3 hrs difference) so this sale was simply out of my reach because at 11am est (avejuice.com start time) I'm sound asleep in dreamland. I did set my alarm for....stupid me....12:30est(1.5hrs after site opening) today....guess that was a losing proposition.
It's bittersweet....I'm happy Avejuice is doing so well but it looks like I'm going to have to become the East coast distributor of Boba's Bounty in order to get some.
All the Best Porphy and YOU ROCK!
A thought for Porphy and Avejuice.com....perhaps during the next sale you could stagger availability time...you know....for your East Coast Bruthas....wink wink!

Thanks for the kind words Drumonron. We are steadily growing our order capacity. It takes awhile since our ability to fill orders only get a real growth boost when we hire on a new employee. I'm all for this, however, finding an employee is increasingly difficult, and no it's not that we aren't offering a good wage for the work. We do have some per-requisites that make it tougher (must be fine with handling nicotine with protective gear, must not smell like cigarette smoke at any time, must be over 18)
Aside from that its all about availability and performance, those are the kickers. We just aren't getting the right applicants or the people are disinterested in the work.
We just hired a new guy and, from what I can see, he's going to work out. I have another two coming soon (one applicant we are waiting to finish coursework, the other has yet to be vetted) so, long story a bit longer; we are growing but slowly and effectively.

I decided it was better to order Thursday and pay $.65 extra for 30ml than risk a last-day order. I've only been vaping for three weeks, and have never bought from AVE before, but it seemed like a gamble to wait based on this statement on their site: "Don't wait too long though, you might miss the sale or find your item isn't available."
I wish all these companies were able to handle any number of orders in any given period, but then they would be creating different (and probably less interesting) and perhaps lower-quality products. It's like the difference between small-batch craft beers and Budweiser. Alien Visions (or Ahlusion or Heather's) has limited staff, time and materials. If they continue being successful, it will probably get easier to get everything you want whenever you want. But this is where they are now. Do you think it would be better to take a thousand orders a day and deliver in five weeks? I think they're honestly trying to walk a line between maintaining quality and reasonable delivery time, and selling to as many people as they can.

^ insiteful, accurate, and intuitive. You seem to have a good capacity for empathy and understanding.
I HAVE a question... Especially since my number should be on this list being I was 36638 which doesn't even appear.. I filled out the order form perfectly and got one email confirming..
So my order didn't go through? All day My order was listed in my account and then just now I noticed it wasn't there.. GONE, POOF! I emailed and asked but I imagine you're busy so I'll ask here..
This!!! Some people are acting like today was the only day of the sale! I hope the negative comments don't discourage AVE from having any more sales in the future
This cyber week sale was one of the best sales ever, I am very grateful for this sale since it gave me that extra push to finally try all these e-liquids. Now AVE has a new customer, so thank you for this sale and I hope you can do more to come.
Your order made it to the payment details but did not go through to confirmation (charging the card). You will get an undeniable "success" page and a payment verification e-mail.
I was late even finding out about the sale, saw it wed when i visited the site and so i created an account in hopes of ordering thu. I figured I got lucky yesterday when my order went through and am quite happy to have a bottle of bobas on the way to me now. If I remember correctly the site was open and taking orders still at 9 - 10am yesterday sooooooo how hard was it really? With the technology most of us carry in our pockets on a daily basis I don't see how it could have been so difficult (I placed the order from my phone's browser)
I kept checking the site once I saw the sale going on this week, never gotten to order yet. On Thursday I was waiting for opening time and was able to push an order through of Boba's Bounty. I was afraid if I waited until Friday's sale I might miss it so took the opportunity Thursday to place a small order. This morning I hopped on the site again and grabbed a few more things, threw'em in the cart and lucky me...got to order again. I'm so excited to try this juice!! I was ready and waiting when the store opened because I've never been able to order til this week. Thanks for the great sale AVE!!
I placed my order on Thursday as well. I'm not much of a gambler-I knew by Friday I would either have trouble checking out fast enough or the Bobas would be sold out! The 35% discount + free shipping was an awesome deal and very generous of Alien Vision I might add! I'd like to say Thanks for all your hard work to the Ave team! Quality and consistantly great juice is more important than mass production!
The fine products at Alien Visions are available everyday, at a fair price.
No vendor "owes" their customers a "sale". They do it to be nice.
When's the last time you went to work and offered your labor, time, and expertise "on sale"?
(don't answer that, I can already hear the jokes starting. )
You know what I'm thinking? I think the gals on ECF will understand what I'm sayin' here......I think most of the people complaining are male. Why? Cuz as a woman, I've been to plenty of sales.....bloomingdales and designer sales and what not, and I can tell you, we show up, with cash, and are ready to get what we can get if there is a sale, and we understand that we might not get what we came to get....cuz it will be gone or taken and that's just the way SALES are.
So for me, being a gal, SALES have always just been about *getting lucky*. There's a certain amount of being in the right time, at the right place, you know, timing and position.
And believe me, I've missed out on some good stuff, many many times. So, eventually had to just buy it at full price. Getting something you really really want, at a sale, is called "lucking out!" Not something you EXPECT.
JMHO.

Well, I went on Wed. The way the sale was set up I was able to calculate the risk of waiting to how bad I wanted/needed my AVE juice. My deciding factor for a Wed purchase was that I was down on my supply and would run out if I missed the sale completely. I wanted to take advantage of some kind of savings but didn't want to get stuck on the idea that I would wait and "hope" for a Friday purchase given the fact that I knew competition at that point would be considerable. I loved the way the sale was set up and think it was brilliant. I know there are a lot of angry people but they were given the information and made the decision based on what they wanted to risk. Those that waited for the Friday purchase made a decision for "all" or "none". For those that made their purchase. Congratulations to them. For those that lost. Sorry, but you played that card and it certainly is not AVE's fault that you lost your bet.
I hope you have this kind of sale again, soon. Payday for me was today, but I should have realized what was going to happen . Thank you for the sale, even if I didn't get to order anything. As other people have stated here, you are not beholden to us to have a sale, or to give us discounts, so thank you very much.
Ben, I hope you're feeling better and made a full recovery.
Now, as soon as you are open again, I'm going to order what I was going to order today.

I am very excited to try AVE juice. I placed my first order on Thursday and received notice today for shipping!
Split my order 1/2 on Thursday and the bigger half today. Completed order at 8:01am. Several hundred mils of Boba at a great price. Satisfied I went back to sleep.
So you knew this is in demand already and so you should have guessed how the demand would skyrocket with a 40% discount. Vaping is still a niche hobby that requires a lot of research. Always, always research the product and it's manufacturer before you consider buying it.
Here's a quote on this thread from another new vaper:
