Ikenvape - Remembering the Legend

[sawlight]

Sorry, but I'm not going to buy into the whole "the sky is falling, the sky is falling" mentality. I've seen it come and go. The FDA is trying to outreach it's authority and will get smacked back into it's place.
EVEN if it does go through, how hard is it going to be to buy gear from China? I think not hard! Nothing I've ordered from fasttech ever said "Warning, this package contains vaporizers!" on it! I think a lot of people are blowing this way out of proportion at the moment.

Vote wisely.

This will be a can of worms, but who?

We owe it to ourselves to do our own research, and understand what the implications are, based on our own value systems. Not what anyone tells us, but based on research we've done.

"Wisely " only implies that we've taken the time to truly learn.

Understood and respected. Of the choices, I hate to say it, but suicide or revolution seems to come to mind first.

I'll pass on the former but if it takes the latter, then so be it.

We're bleeding out.

Suicide? No and hell no. But I have been saying for several years that this country is heading toward anarchy.

Vote wisely, is right. It's the new "VW".

Wisely has to do with your absolute choice, and one's own responsibility to see the world as it is, then decide (based on some/much research) what might be best. Best for? Best for each of us? Best for ALL of us?

These are internal struggles.

Wow, randomness... I remember IkenVape back from the days when Boge had awesome cartos, but then ruined them completely and I had to find a replacement other than the 1.7Ω "Resurrector" cartos. It arrived in the form of IkenVape's platinum-something cartos.

Looking at what's left of their website, I'm not sure I understand why a business selling e-cig equipment, focused on attys, just stuck with cartos, forever n' ever. I haven't used one in many years, and posit there's almost nobody left at this point using that technology. Why not just load up on the latest products and offer them for sale? I don't really get it.. if you're a small business owner surely you'd notice that the rest of the world has moved on, and if you love cartos beyond all reason, maintain their sales as a small sideline. Whatever the case, they were pretty awesome back a few years ago, and I wish everybody all the best.

schismz, I remember those days as well. The flourishing days of IKV, if you will. It may be difficult to understand (for any of us on the outside), yet I'm sure that Isaac made wise decisions along the way. It's often way too easy to Monday morning quarterback someone else's business or affairs. I agree with you in wishing them the best life has to offer. This company...... this company has made a critical difference in many lifes, and I for one will always be grateful for that.

Let's see how this plays out. I think she was having a bit of a knee jerk reaction to being smacked upside the head by the sudden way it happened. She can find another processor and she probably will.

And PLEASE people remember: This is an isolated incident so far - and we have had those before where certain small business CC processors have done this to an individual company. In other words: it's not a new thing. Please don't turn it into a sweeping generalization that all vape places are all on the brink of losing their credit card processing accounts. It hasn't happened.

HUGELY agree.

So sorry to hear about Ikenvape, they were the innovators back in the day. Thanks to them for all they did for the vape world.
