For those who cannot wait for the site to be back up (myself included), then you can email orders to him. This has been mentioned on his twitter feed and in this thread. If you absolutely need something, he will get it to you. So, with that being said, the inability to use the website is null at this point. If you just want to switch vendors, then switch - hate to see anyone leave but the fact is it has been discussed several times how to get IKV goodies even with the website down...
I've tried these third party "Fusion" cartos and they're just not the same. Wicking is different.
Loft my supply of Iken's Fusions is good. I can wait but there are others that have none.
I've been out of RY4 gold since the site went down. Tried Dulcis meh, tried rafalicious, meh. I have of course tried multiple vendors before I found IKV's version and it is my favorite. Isaac e-mailed back and said he'd get me some but I thought I'd wait (mistake). If the site is not up by Thursday I'll have to order via e-mail because it's just that good.
18 mg/ml the VG heavy version, tastes wonderful dripped on an atty or in a carto.
While yer still on line; when I do go to ask Isaac for some RY4 how would I pay for it? Will I be able to use PayPal?
Loft, one last question while yer still on-line; Before I contact Isaac, how can I pay for it? Will I use pay pal or what?
Loft has left the building, howsabout you switched? Do you know how I'll pay for an order via e-mail??
You barter with Live chickens and donkeys....... Were going old school!
Seriously though yeah paypal
There is an upside to never experiencing Ikn products. I can't miss what I never had, no guilt buying from other vendors and don't mind waiting. Still that being said I am checking in daily to get the opportunity to try what many say is awesome stuff. 
loft, it is not quite that easy. Ever since I started using IKV at the first of the year, he has continually been out of stock many items at any given time. I attributed it to growing pains. And so when items were on the site, I ordered 20 cartos at a time. And as for any one in need--so what if they get Ike to send them a bottle of juice or a carto to tide them over. His site has been down since Sept 9. That bottle of juice or carto has depleted at this point. Mpst people want a supply of something they like, not one of something to tide them over to who knows when.
At one point, he pointed out all the money he had invested in each shipment. I wrote him a pm and told him that his product was so good, I would like to invest in him, and put capital in his business so that he would not feel panic everytime he introduced a product.
This is not the way to do business. He has been out of stock as much as he has had stock the 10+ months I have been buying from him. It does not matter if you have a superior product if people cannot buy it. While he may be a genius at design, he is a poor business man. People have offered their help, yet he still remains offline. It is none of my business, but there is something other than just "server issues".
Someone suggested he sell right now through Empire Mods, I have suggested he put a price list on this site and others have offered problem-solving suggestions; he remains mute and inactive. A few tweets and a few comments on this page is not clear communication. It is denial on Isaac's part.
Like others, I have ordered from different vendors. The boge Fusions may not be as good, but I needed some in a higher range, and I only like ones that are tubed like 510's, and so I bought ten of them.They may be knock-offs, but they are available. I have now bought atty's from a different vendor because I CANNOT get any more I06's at this point. IKV was my sole source for cartos & attys, but now I am looking around because I need a new source, and I have to find some other items I like from a dependable vendor. So checking other vendors out are my only options.
I have vaped Halo juice since 9/2010. Never has the site been down. I buy one juice from KBV; they state the days they will sell(Tues & Fri)-clear communucation.
If & when Ikenvape goes live again, I will order, but the fact remains that it is not a dependable source, and I need to establish some back-ups to supply what I need.

Cool, I like barter. Trade a bucket of shiny COPYRIGHTDMCA for a Fusion?
(I only picked up a handful of Fusions, just before the storefront went offline, but as a carto person I was really impressed with them, can't wait to get more. I'm also looking forward to trying some of his mega 808 cartos, to use on my longer tank.)

Jason, manifestgtr, player30 , I feel your pain. I'll try to send you an email when he starts business again. Sometimes a guy just needs to vent.
There is more going on than meets the eye. As for him being out of stock he had shipments (large ones) seized by customs a couple times. He also gets products that were improperly made and can't put them out for us to buy, he has to eat that. He has had product stolen. Now he has his name being held hostage from him too. He is a one man show, runs it all. Design, ordering, finances, packaging, shipping, customer service, has had medical problems not to mention being a husband and father. I know it's frustrating and it is to him too. He is a very kind and considerate guy and worries dearly for his customers and their well being but he can only be in one place at a time and can only do one thing at a time. He loves spending time on the forum but needs to be doing all he can to resolve this thing. I know everyone is frustrated and frankly so am I but bashing him isn't going to help the matter. I do feel your pain though. Until it's going again my only thought is do what you must and if that means buying somewhere else then so be it. But please don't get mad at Isaac for all this. If it was just a normal opening a new site sure that's faster and easier but this has had every monkey wrench in Dodge thrown in to the mix. I hope everyone finds what they need and if there's anything I can do to help let me know but like you there's not much I can do. Have a wonderful day all.
