Damn! been waiting for my catos and new xl case and other battery. V4L sent the shipping notice email out the same day i ordered. Usually it always comes in 2 or less days. But since wednesday the tracking number still says the shipping info was recieved electronically but doesnt say it was sorted anywhere yet. I figured this was just usps being dumb but no. It isnt here today! What gives?! I know its all the usps but man I hate thinking im gonna get something cool today and nothing! Plus I have no more good cartos. They are all messed up! I was hoping to get brand new ones today. Anyonw know the process for boiling cartos. I havent ever tried it whats the quickest way?? I need fresh ones before i smoke one of my gf's analogs!

Please help!:D

1. Take the plastic caps/rubber off the end
2. Boil water
3. Put water in bowl
4. Blow out your cartomizers for excess liquid for about 10 seconds each
5. Put them in boiling water to let sit for awhile
6. Remove cartomizers, blow out for about 30 seconds each
7. Lay on papertowel to dry. If you are in a hurry, use a blowdryer on the batting.

Refill and go.

It is slow this week. I placed an order last Sunday, got an email on Tuesday that it shipped and I still don't have it. I know you feel, it sucks when you are waiting for package and it doesn't arrive. :( USPS says it's in Charlotte, N.C. and since I am in VA, I seriously doubt I am getting it tomorrow. Maybe Monday or Tuesday...........

Hey BrandNew... I feel for you man. I'm sure we shipped the order Wednesday... but if you PM me you order number I can look into it further for you. 99% of the time USPS is on the ball (at least for us), but man I hate when they drop the ball.

Perhaps it's time to give customers another choice of common carrier - UPS or FedEx Ground.

USPS tracking info is really not a great "tracking" tool. Usually the notices I get emailed to me don't have any updates to them at all until very late the night before they go out for local delivery.

V4L always does a great job getting my supplies to me though. Less than 48hours & it's in the mail & typical 2-3 day shipping time. Its always been less than a week from order placement to delivery. That's hard to beat!

Just spoke with my buddy that I turned on 2 weeks ago. He placed on order on Saturday. V4L indicated it was shipped on Wednesday, Priority Mail. The USPS says "Electronic Shipping Info Received". Now he is almost totally out of everything and is starting to get ....... Even if by some miracle, he gets his order on Saturday, that would be a solid week - not good enough in my book.

I told him that ordering this E-cig stuff is a total crap shoot and he better order 2 weeks in advance and have at least a month's worth of supplies. Fortunately, I have 3 months of supplies and will let him borrow from me. My other buddy has already gone through this twice and I have helped him out of his jam both times.

I'm sorry, but 7 days to get supplies from Chicago to Atlanta is not good enough....we need other shipping options - please!

LOL UPS Updates their tracking as much as i update my MySpace... whats it been now... hmm i was in highschool in 2004 sooooo 6 years?

I still have packages that are marked as In-rout or say they are just now leaving.

The longest i ever had to wait was about a week but the last couple of packages showed up in 2 days.

The shipping from V4L is still some of the fastest i get and the customer service is A+. :D

Same issues as the rest of ya'll, ordered on the 10th, v4l shipped on the 10th and according to USPS tracking its still in Chicago. I was overly optimistic and hoped to get it yesterday evening after reading posts about people getting stuff in 2 days.

I am new to vaping and all 3 of my batteries (different model) died this week; I am back to smoking analogs and I have my very first bottle of flavored juice (TV Butter Rum) sitting here unused.:-x

Sigh...it's good to know that I am not alone, though, I was thinking maybe its because I live in "small town " SC. Hope everybody gets their stuff TODAY!

You only ordered 3 days ago. USPS does not always scan when they get the package, it is extremely unreliable, my bet is you get it today or monday depending on how fast USPS moves their butts.

Glad you posted this... I had an order shipped Wed. and mine also says info received and that's it... nothing else. I've been ordering from V4L for two months now and never had this issue. I've been a little stressed over the situation. I just keep telling myself that it's USPS and my package could be at my door any day. *fingers crossed*
