Anybody heard any updates? I'm guessing they are still waiting on their payment provider to give the go sign?

Aha...I was wondering what was up with the IKV site. I thought perhaps maybe it was something with a security settings on my end (I customize the settings and keep them fairly high, so it's always possible the problem is something I enabled).
I am truly concerned and frustrated on Isaac's behalf. I plan on remaining a loyal customer and will be here when it's all sorted out.

Sorry for the lack of updates guys! Ohhhh you can bet I'm chanting! We even had a ceremonious gathering of a coven of witches to make this go faster. It was quite a sight really, that is till Esmeralda fell into the pot. Ruined the special punch 
Just to keep everyone up to speed page 133 has the details on what had happened and now we're just waiting for the merchant provider to... become a merchant provider!

A coven?...interesting, and I've been using "a Rookery of witches" all this time...

Wow, I only just came across this and I gotta say, Isaac you've got every shred of moral support I can send your way. If there were anything else I could do besides well-wishes you'd have it. I only tonight noticed the lack of shopping cart and ventured here to look for any sort of status update before cluttering up your inbox, glad I did. I know fraud happens, but holy crap I never expected to see it in such a large scale with a small business
You do what ya gotta do to get things up and running and we'll be here waiting to line your pockets with gold when it's all over

Isaac! Buddy!!! I can't say any more than has already been said. I know you know you have a TON of support behind you. And WE all know that you are going to get through anything that comes your way.
We're all behind you. Sure wish there was some way to help. All we can do is root(sp? < is that the right root? ) from the sidelines.
Anyway, we love you man! And we know you're going to win. No doubt.

It is the right root.
That really sucks big time Issac. I own a small business as well and I really feel for you.
Hope everything comes back to normal ASAP, and when it does I bet our support will make up for it.

It's been more of a 'bad' news situation.
From those nasty fraudulent charge-backs from the Philippines, There was 5 total and two from the US now totaling $4,500 in transactions alone, not counting lost product. Well, our credit card processor didn't appreciate that so much. So after 3 years IKV is now labeled as high risk and they're giving us 2 weeks before shutting us down. Our merchant provider has found a new bank for us, but they want 7.95% off every transaction. That's just robbery, but in all honesty I'm willing to do it, but have found alternatives yesterday.
The major issue is that our processor has been showing absolute zero activity since the 30th of March, meaning for all the orders we have been taking in since, we haven't been paid Anything. so every order we pack and dispatch is purely on my dime. We're owed $10,500.00. It's as if our back end was down for 2 weeks plus dispatching orders. You can imagine how difficult it is to run like that, we're talking over 500 orders shipped basically for free and at the cost of products, shipping supplies etc while paying to keep the business running. It definitely doesn't bode well considering I just purchased our first house this month.
I had spent the day tracking this stuff down and as it turns out..Well, when you make an order through us, it goes to Authorize.net, which sends it to Digital financial group, which sends it to Merchant-now, which is then sent to Cts holding, then to us. My merchant provider is merchant-now financial, he said the processor is NOT actively looking to shut ecigs down but we have been flagged by the risk department and they could be holding all of our funds. To find out more, I started calling calling everyone in the circle and the odd thing is, is that none of the mention groups knew what I was talking about and at the end they wanted to connect me back with Merchant-now. Extremely frustrating and confusing. I wish had cool super secret toys for you guys for this down time, but this is the ugly truth
Sincerely,
Isaac
Wow, you don't hear that kind of "this is just the way it is" statement from a vendor these days...
Isaac, your situation is crap, I feel bad for you, but when you get your ..... together I'll be clicking "add to cart"...I respect that kind of honesty...
best of luck...

Ive been wanting to order the I06 for some time now. Looking for the top notch attys and I here they are the ones. I just got a 357 and I love it. Want a I06 so bad to compare. Hope its worth the wait
penny for penny, the i06 is the best atomizer IMHO.... you got a good one; and the i06 is different; more like an analog sensation; slightly stiffer draw, good t/h, lots and lots of vapor, good taste. Bottom feeding is perfect for this atty because you don't have to get a mod for a drip tip.
What pv are you vaping ? I find the 1.8 LR i06 is great on 3.7 mods. Haven't tried the LR 1.5 i06, but i imagine it's a barn burner!

I have a provari so ohms are not a issue for me. I just tune it in. I like the SR cause I have more of a range. Im just looking for a smooth flavorful atty with a TH.
Any idea how long til we can place an order? Just wondering if it's going to be days or weeks. I love the i06 and have been wanting to order more for a while and have held off ordering somewhere else until Ikenvape is back on line, but if it's going to be too much longer I need to order somewhere else in the meantime. If it's just going to be a few more days I can wait. If it's going to be a couple weeks I need some more atty's. If anyone knows please let me know. Thanks.
I've been going to your site for days wondering what was going on. Finally I came to this thread to find out. I am so sorry you are having all this trouble. It must be especially worrisome when you have your first big mortgage starring at you! Feel good knowing that you have a massive amount of support and people who love you and your products behind you. Also rest up while you can because once you reopen you are going to be one extremely busy man!
My mortgage and cars are paid off so if you need a loan.........I'm sure there are hundreds of other people who feel the same way.........I WANT MY IKENVAPES!!!!!!!!
