IKV v2golds were my first experience of this is not you average carto (light solid vape with the filler not vaping stuffy). And then I experienced the Fusion and there is no comparison. Vapes for weeks before it starts vaping stuffy. I don't believe I would voluntarily go back to 510 after using these 801's( I have had to order some hv 510's recently for a 5v device due to the lack of Fusions on the market). Recently, I have been using Fusions with a Vaporescence tank, and the fit is perfect. For me, the flavor of my favorite juice which I use 99% of the time tastes better on Fusions. I like it on any carto, but I can tell a difference in the flavor on a Fusion. They are well worth a try although it appears it may be a while.

Im not an IKV expert, so someone explain to me what these fabled fusions are exactly, and why you'd give your first born for one?

Each cartomizer is hand assembled by 13 virgins. A small family of elves sings a lullaby to them as they travel through the assembly line. They are then massaged for a minimum of 10 hours bringing them to a illustrious shine. The filler is made from the wings of fairies and the coils are forged from steel brought up from the rim of a volcano.......


Oh no wait seriously....

They are a 801 base with a 510 body. They have a looser filler for better draw and get superior air flow from the 801 base. They are basically built to spec for IKV and were the first of their kind. They are IMO the best single coil cartomizer on the market.

They are a creation of Isaacs. It is an 801 base with a 510 tube fused onto it and he also put his loving touches on the inside. I have not used a better cartomizer for vapor, taste. That's why it recieved the Fusionman acceptance certification.

And who is Fusionman you ask? He fights a never ending battle of truth, justice, and the American way.

Had to cave in and try cisco atties, well after a month all 5 are almost dead!!!! My 2 month old 1.5 iken atties are still going strong(unfortunately I only bought 2)!!! They seems to hold up well to dry burning and then they work like a champ. (I am pretty hard on atties as I use alot of dark liquids). I can say for the iken atties their draw and vapor production is superior to anything on the market. They hold up to allot of abuse as well. So, until he gets set up or empiremods gets them in I am floating.

Good to know cause I use AVE tobacco juice exclusively and its very dark.

I was not trying to be hateful but the truth is that his site has been down for over a month now and I am not holding my breath. I know these are the atomizers to have but if you cant get them then whats the point. Chasing the holy grail is pointless if the holy grail is not out there to be had.

I was sent an email by a friend today that told me that Empire has my 901s in stock so I will get them there. Maybe Issac should just supply sites like Empire to do all the selling for him.

But what do I know I am not a cult follower like you guys, I just know a quality product when I have it and hate not being able to get them.

Believe me if I was out I would not be going without either. I guys gotta do what a guys gotta do. I went through this before with the vendor I get 100% PG 555 in 30ml bottles. I could find it in 70/30, 10ml. bottles, and nasty tasting but nothing I needed. I now keep a large supply of the products I use that no one else has for just that reason.

There are other good cartos and atties that other vendors have. I mean we all used something before we found Ikenvape and I know Isaac would be the first to say do it because he don't want anyone to suffer or worse go back to stinkies. BTW excuse my buttin in.

And just what p^ssing match are you referring to??

I am merely commenting to the guy asking about fusions, to the best of my knowledge they can only be had at IKV. I have read that Isacc says the site will be back up and if so that is great.

Issac, from what I hear, is a great guy, but life happens, and a website that is ones lively-hood being down for over a month seems a bit off to me. If you or most anyone here @ ECF did not go to work for a month we would be in bad financial shape.

I am not, or well, was not in a p^ssing match. It seems I may be now.
Hate it that you have taken my observation and mutated it into something it was not intended but thats cool too, everyone has the right to say whats on their mind.

..I'm done.

Sorry all, I love you and the vaping community to death, but I'm done on this..

I wish Isaac, and you all the best of luck, and who knows, in a while, I might find his site open again, and order some of his goodies, but my brand loyalty only goes so far..

If anyone would be so kind as to PM me here when the site is back up? If not, I'm sure I'll figure it out on my own one day.. I just cant hold off any longer.. I'll be ordering (now, quite a bit) from vendors elsewhere.. Its not optimal, and its not convenient, but its what I need to do now.

Isaac: I hope you find worlds more success once you get your site up again, but on a customer-to-dealer level, your lack of personal involvement, updates, or anything of the kind to your customers here, frankly.. sucks.. Sorry man, I just thought it needed to be said. Your products rock, and are still my favs, but I'm saddened that you couldn't help out, or update on a thread about you, and your site issues for over a month! We all have money waiting... You're product line is THAT GOOD.. How about a little reciprocity?

I'm moving on.. It sucks, but I really cant wait any longer.

*shrug* Best of luck to you all, and especially to you, Isaac. I want your business to succeed.. In this (evermore) saturated business, its rare to find a seller with something truly unique to offer.. I hope you can get it together before more of your cash-in-hand customers go elsewhere.

Sadly,
-Jason

I know man...it's really sad...

and whats even more sad is that I don't find anything you said even remotely out of line...I'm sure there are those out there who will and they'll probably bash this (I'm sure ill get hit with some shrapnel too) but the fact of the matter is that this is the toll this thing has taken

in the beginning I checked the site several times a day but now I find myself checking it less and less

really though...who can blame people for growing frustrated as time goes on? doesn't matter what kind of person you are...if you're waiting on getting something you love/need with no end in sight, you're going to look into other options...

it's gotten to the point where instead of expecting to see ikv back up and running, I expect to see the "off to vapestock" message and little more than speculation here

will ikenvape continue to have my support and business in the future? absolutely...they offer a superior product you just can't get elsewhere and the couple times I've talked to issac, he's been AWESOME

but i have moved on for now...sadly, yes

EDIT: there is one thing I don't quite agree with here...issac has been updating from time to time on this board and has used his twitter for updates as well...you should check that out
