I got pretty poed about that whole thing too. Got little sleep because I stayed up until 1am est to see the price roll over, only to be unable to purchase. I'm old and cantankerous already, now I'm miserable.

That site will now never see any business from me, for anything, because of how this was all handled. I emailed them last night and got the same copy paste they were putting on facebook.

Guess I'm just going to wait for the MVP 3 to release and I'll get it somewhere else :p

forgot to add they said they will have a sale on the istick he just did not say what the sale would be. I also asked how was it that people bought it 3 hours after the sale started we will see if they respond.

Me too dragon. I wouldn't give them a dime of my money because of this. IMHO they used the istick to drive traffic to their site, expecting ppl to buy other things even when they couldn't buy the istick. I don't want to support a business with that kind of practice.

And yeah i'm still po'd over this. I hate being lied to.

Yup, my wife rolled into my office about 12:30am Pacific and gave me that look...you know the look. I'd promised at 10pm that we'd go to bed at the same time (rarely happens) and that I'd be about 5 minutes (since that is what I expected the sale to last). :) I'm not really ticked about this, but I'm incredibly disappointed in the behavior of ecig. I'm not likely to shop there again.

I have to say that even though I hopefully managed to purchase one, my first experience with ecig.com wasn't a happy one.

I saw they deleted the comments on their facebook page where people were complaining about not being able to purchase the istick. They also posted "The cart was misconfigured isticks now in stock but they won't last long" along with "The iStick is very hard to come by, we had a limited quantity and was flooded this morning and out of stock very shortly. Once we get our new shipment in, we will be running a sale on them."

OMG, they deleted MY comments today too!!!!! :mad: They initially responded to me, saying it was a popular product, yada yada yada. When I called them out about them not being available to purchase until 2/3 of the US was asleep, ALL of my comments were deleted.

So incredibly unethical and unprofessional.

While I'll admit that it was a very Chicken S (turd) way to handle the sale ( I hit refresh about 50 times over the course of a few hours myself) and I feel bad for those that tried only to get skunked, I did just receive shipping confirmation that they are on the way. I consider myself to be extremely lucky in this case but after reading what everyone else had to go through as well, my backside will never darken their site again.

I purchased one from one of my regular hardware vendors-gotvapes.com. Yes, it was more expensive even with their sale, but they have fast shipping and I trust them ! I think after all my discounts, I paid about $40.00 for the whole kit. I needed another charger, and another wall wart never hurts, so that's why I went with the full kit.

Saving a couple of dollars is not worth the headache that is for sure Jingles. Congrats on the new buy
