First of all, great idea for doing a contest and getting great feedback from people who will ultimately be using it! Everyone here already have some great ideas.
1. If you're going to go with black, You might think about some more accent colors on borders or possibly to separate sections, to make the whole look pop a little more. Like for instance, your logo is red, maybe try using small amounts of red throughout for contrast. There's just a lot of black and white.
2. The logo itself is a bit small, especially if you're going for the banner look. I love the logo, bigger could look good, I think. Even if it was still to one side
3. This is more of a compliment. I love that you have the bar at the top for everything not related to products, and another for just the products. It puts the focus on the product, and that's always good.
4. You probably already know this, or someone's mentioned it already, but the "Featured Product" section with the pictures, when I hover over a picture, the tile spins and disappears. I'm not sure if it's something you're working on or if it's browser incompatibility. I'm using Safari 6.0.1 if it helps.
5. It would be really cool if those pictures would spin around to reveal a tile with a short description, price, and a "View Product" button.
6. As someone already said, I would think about breaking up the Categories a little more. Be a little more specific or create drop downs from each menu item with more specific subcategories. This would allow customers to get to what they're looking for faster.
7. I would consider adding an "About" section to the top bar, with either a mission statement or some personal information about your company, who you are, and why you started Ecigfrenzy. This might not be important to everyone, but it might just be the thing that helps people to decide to shop with you. Some people want that personal connection.
I'm sure you've considered some of these and I know you're still working on it. It looks great so far! Keep at it and good luck with your business!
