I'm having same problem, so I used Safari via my iPhone
Yeah.. literally EVERY single browser will work fine for his checkout EXCEPT IE. It really reddens my ....
Thanks Nik for explaining that. I know that is how Liberty Flights does it. The thing is LF does not ask for my email addy to place an order. That is what confused me. Will order soon ...need to get some FA flavoring and maybe a bottle of juice or two.-
I had to download Firefox to order, but I finally got it done! Although, now it says I have one order pending and one completed on the website, and nothing showing up from paypal's website for the "Pending" order... I hope that's a fluke...
The new stuff has been added, and I've got some more surprises for you on the way. This week the free samples will be S'mores while supplies last, followed by a special blend Caramel Cappuccino that's different from the basic Cappuccino flavor and the Caramel additive flavor. Plenty more in the works!
I've also updated the FlavourArt DIY list with many new flavors and the ones that were previously out of stock like Cookie, Butterscotch, and Caramel. Please note that there have been updates to the FlavourArt diacetyl page and I'll be putting a link to it on my page shortly.

It's probably just so that I know where to e-mail the tracking number, but let me know if you start getting spam from PayPal.
I'd recommend you get Firefox or Chrome even if you could place orders with IE, but if you only have access to IE, you can go through with the order and send me an e-mail after attempting to go to PayPal if it doesn't work. I'll send the invoice manually as soon as I can.
I will apologize again for the IE bug and elaborate on how the shopping cart works so you guys know your options --
The shopping cart is connected to the external paypal payment system. You can pay by logging into your account or entering your credit card numbers. Unfortunately, yes, this only works on browsers that are NOT IE. So in geek speak - if broswer(!IE); echo 'Yay, it worked!'; else echo 'Go to hell.'; endif;
The problem is that IE is pretty much the bane of every designer/coder/geeks existence. IE, up until very recently, has decided to take Web Standards and just throw them in the garbage because, who needs those things anyway?
The shopping cart is coded by a third-party developer and IMPLEMENTED by me - Meaning that I did not in fact, code the thing. Yes, I can navigate around the code and change certain things pretty efficiently, but what you have to understand is SINCE I did not create it, it's not my beast, I don't know it inside and out, and I have to rely on the actual developers to fix the issue. So now, you're going to Nikhil, who's going to Me, who's going to someone else. Granted, that someone else (the developers of this shopping cart) are EXTREMELY pleasant to deal with, we've exchanged many, many e-mails over this issue and please know that the devopers, myself and even my husband are trying really hard to figure out a way around it. The problem is that it seems short of ripping the entire code apart and reconstructing it around this very contained issue - There's no noticeable fix right now. Though, that is not to say we won't keep working on it.
Now what should be known is this - When you place an order, even in IE, and you hit "Check Out", even though you get an error from Pay Pal saying that the order cannot be processed, Nikhil STILL receives a copy of your invoice - However, he won't KNOW until he is contacted, and since the order didn't process through Paypal - He won't be contacted. If you have absolutely no other option but to use IE, simply load up your shopping cart, select check out, and then return back to Pure Vapes after the error. Then, select "Contact" and just fill in the required fields and tell Nikhil you just placed an order, with your First and Last name (so he can find it in his list). At that point, he will send you a paypal invoice, which you WILL be able to complete your payment with, using your paypal login, or entering a credit card number.
If you only have IE installed on your PC, but have the ability to install another browser, I highly, highly recommend this, and not just because they work better (And look better) with the website. But also for the following reasons.
1. Internet Explorer is still not up to date with Web Standards. It is VERY vulnerable to viruses, bugs (obviously) and it is also not friendly to the handicapped.
2. Nothing is supported in IE. IE is a bare bones browser. The fancy new CSS3 stuff that just came out is entirely invisable in Internet Explorer, and that's just the tip of the iceburg. Most designers have to create a completely separate stylesheet (what makes the website look the way it does) just for IE, and often have to leave out certain content, that simply won't display/work properly in the browser.
3. Browsers like Chrome, Firefox and even Safari have add-on support that allows you to add a plethora of options to your browser to personalize it to your needs. These range from "skins" to ad-block utilities, bookmark galleries, and so much more.
Again, we will not stop working on the IE bug, because it's the default browser to EVERY PC on the planet, therefore we obviously know that it's something that needs to be fixed, and WILL be, even if it comes to having to take the site down for a couple days to perform a complete e-commerce overhaul.
What's stopping me? The release of IE 8. Assuming everyone with IE updates their browser, the new IE might actually fix the problem on its own, as they are making an effort to get the browser to comply with the WWWC.
Until then, please consider my suggestions. I also plan on either tonight or early tomorrow, including some handy download links to other PV compatible browsers that will allow you to install them right from the front page for your convenience. I'm hoping this will help to heed a warning to new customers with IE, and stop deflecting them from purchasing, as well.
Thanks for all your patience, IE users. I truly am sorry and embarrassed.

Maybe... you'll have to wait for it though, I'm working on a lot of stuff right now!
Tough to give a hint, because I don't know yet.
I'll be releasing a couple new ones in a week, but after that, you guys will be deciding what flavor I develop next.

New ONES !!!!! I have an order coming to me now. Going to make me suffer til I can reorder new ones. So not fair.
Hurry Mr Postman. We have a storm coming and I would so like to have my order.
Fingers crossed for a speedy delivery, Tuck. I know how sad I'd be without my PureVapes juice !
!
Pokey, I order when I still half a 30ml of butterscotch cookie. So I am not out yet. But I out of my other goodies.
