I was totally bummed out that I didn't make it to the other thread in time, but that was only until I saw the absolutely perfect last post. Standing ovation to @Rickajho - simply marvelous. 
I know it's odd for me to stop on a Monday, but I missed Friday, so...
Good morning, IKV (and a belated
to Isaac, Val, and the wonders of IKV).

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, there were other circumstances that hit IKV really hard, created a big loss of money that he was just not able to recover from.
Happy Birthday Val

To emphasize, there were SEVERAL other circumstances that caused IKV to lose a LOT of money! He's had a rough go of it and is a MUCH stronger person than I! I'd have folded up a long time ago had it been me! Kudos to him for riding it out as long as he did!Schismz, there were other circumstances that hit IKV really hard, created a big loss of money that he was just not able to recover from.

Yes, happy B-day Mrs Iken!
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.
