Is it me or are a lot of the suppliers unavailable

Been a "lurker" for months, read posts...go to suppliers. Today I was searching for some new e-liquid and was a bit concerned when I noticed that quite a few were out of stock, others are having shopping cart problems, some don't list SSL secured. I noticed they stopped taking paypal, are changing their names, sites, etc....any info would be appreciated.

Well, if you will lurk a bit more you will see that PayPal has stopped servicing 'electronic cigarette' businesses. Most suppliers used PayPal, and some businesses have gone different routes from getting rid of PayPal and going to merchant accounts - to renaming and using alternate payment methods as well to distance themselves from the 'broobaha'.

It is a cuase for concern I suppose, but at the same time I wouldn't really hold it against anyone in particular at this time yet seeing as how many suppliers are only just now, or have just recently come back online after redoing their payment systems and shopping carts.

Hope that helps some and take care,

Plus, lot of suppliers have been besieged with orders and are out of stock.

We are like locusts

Thanks for that info. I had plenty of e-juice from my purchase a month ago and must've missed the brouhaha about paypal. Wouldn't hold it against anyone, because if you read all the threads, the reviewers are always dead on accurate regarding the best suppliers. This forum is a phenomenal trove of information regarding all aspects of vaping.
