Well now it looks like they took the site down. no I wont try again tomorrow. Ben knows about this all to well. when ever he releases GJ an BB this always happens. Ben is a very nice guy. But this it for me. Ben you have just lost a customer!! Which means there will be more for others.

Haha, you guys just DOS'd AVE. When I saw the site was down I knew exactly why. This is what happens when scarcity outweighs demand. Well, I've been without Boba's for 2 months now. Few more days won't hurt. Havana Gold is as good as ever until then. <3
Hey, at least BB and GJ are available again! If it takes a couple of days to get an order placed, that's a small price to pay. Don't lose patience now that you're so close! At least AVE doesn't oversell their ability to do same-day fulfillment ... when you do get through, you can be assured of quick shipment. And this is NOTHING like the madhouse that shut down nHaler's site when the last run of Darwins came through ... the mob all ordering at once burnt their inventory system so badly that it kept filling orders even when the inventory went into negative numbers! Drew spent days trying to clean up that mess, and a lot of people who THOUGHT they had successfully ordered a new Darwin were badly disappointed. And then, of course, Sandy made landfall right on top of Drew's place ... 
It truly boggles my mind how AVE isn't able to find a way to take people's money.... Ready and willing buyers, high demand. Is this store being run out of a garage or basement? Do you have a day job and just occasionally fill orders when you're off work?
I'm just frustrated and have been trying to spend my money on this website for several weeks with no success. With my luck I'll probably get an order through after the 20% off coupon expires.

I would certainly hope that Ben and Christy would see fit to extend the 20% sale offer, considering the circumstances!
You would be surprised how many vendors do run their business out of their homes and work a full time job on top of it. This is a VERY competitive business and unless youre running a mall kiosk selling el cheapo disposables for 80 bucks a kit there isnt a lot of profit in it. A LOT of vendors on here do it because they vape themselves (I know Ben and Christy do) and want to to give something back to the community so cut them some slack.
They also just moved from Texas to California and reduced all their stock to make it easier (can you imagine having to move 8+ hours away and hauling a U-haul trailer full of nicotine, flavoring and glass beakers?)and a few weeks later Ben had some serious heart issues that hes been dealing with and THEN when they finally get the ingredients for Bobas and Gorilla Juice the website breaks from such a high demand.
Do you feel like a selfish ... yet because you should? I understand your frustration but sometimes it helps to put yourself in someone elses shoes for a minute before getting irate.The site will be fixed as fast as they can and Im sure both Ben and Christy are working their butts off to fill all their orders.
I'm down to about 50ml of BB, starting to get that nervous feeling. Hope the site is fixed soon so I can restock. I actually ran out at one point last year and have since been careful not to be in that position again. If you just pay a bit of attention to what's going on with AVE and your own supply you can vape BB and GJ to your hearts content. Trying to place an order when things are like they are right now is kind of exciting rather than stressful. If you're stressed right now take a look in the mirror. Ben and Christy know their situation and do a good job of communicating it, it's too much to expect them to know yours.
Look I feel bad for the stuff they've gone through but they are still a business and if you think this whole thing wasn't a marketing stunt well.....
AVE just lost my business, which is unfortunate because I once loved their juice but other companies are more than happy to take my money.
A ticketing system, not advertising a specific time GJ and BB would be posted, and a million other things could have fixed this but they decided not to. Lamest part is redditors who are buying 100-200ml bottles of it and got an awesome deal with the sale whereas I've been a member of their site since 2009 and won't be getting the sale price. Regardless of how you slice it that's pretty lame.

There are Alien Visions Resellers you know. I purchased from Clouds Of Vapor some 30ml Gorilla Juice a couple of weeks ago and they had Boba's on stock as well. The fact is that i have like 60ml of BB and 25ml of GJ and i'm not freaking out because is a matter of days until they can release again now that the flavoring is back in stock.
Next time try COV or Somoktek they always carry AVE juices or at least ask them when they will be in stock, they probably have a shipment already on their way as we speak.

You are correct, however the main point of my post (if you read the last lines) was that in my opinion AV screwed up and people who should have been able to order and take advantage of the sale couldn't. I think AV is already fairly expensive, I don't need to spend more money going through resellers.
I do like AV, and Boba's is one of my favorite juices, but I like feeling treated like my money and patronage matter to. I don't feel that is the case with AV anymore unfortunately.
And I'm not sure if COV and Smoktech are getting orders, from what I've read (could be completely wrong) AV's bulk orders have been down for awhile.
