I agree....it's gotta be tough when you're running a small business that wants to grow all of a sudden.

It's especially frustrating with this particular business....to grow it in order to handle this capacity demand.....takes $$$. So, normally you invest the required $$$ to grow your business....meet demand and are now operating at a new level....it's the normal progression of a successful business.

However.....Investing more money is quite a gamble right now....with the pending FDA stuff....who knows....it may become illegal for you to sell your #1 product! That invested money goes "POOF"......so what do you do?

You hit the nail right on the head buddy. Perhaps going into business with a much larger player and getting a healthy cut from sales would be a better route. Everyone gets their juice and Ben and Christie have peace of mind and more freedom to create new flavors and or do whatever they want really.

AVE was simply allowing the free market to manifest itself the best it could, and now we see why the free market never has and never will exist. Free market =/= free enterprise. It must have regulations or it self destructs. I dont about the rest of you, but I studied economic theories, so this has been highly entertaining to watch. Personally I prefer national socialism, and nothing ensures a successful business model like the exclusivity of perimeters. It is either that or it goes full blown capitalist, and they present and IPO and start paying off politicians.

National socialism? Man, you first need lesson in history... and than back to school regarding economics...

F8cking naciz...

Thank you Ave for addressing this issue and posting the new message on the home page. Maybe i'll try again when I get refunded and you open again. Maybe not, but it's not like you need the business. lol i'm not sure if I'm up for the fight to order. Happy vaping people. ;)

Agreed. Kudos to AVE for updating the message.

Update Time!

We are remaining closed for a couple of weeks as we work on finishing our new website. The payment system issues are coinciding with the website redesign, as such, we are using the website redesign as an opportunity to start from the ground and work our way up. This will allow us to take a step back and design the website with quite a bit more freedom.

For the time being we are closed. This means no payments are being taken at this time in any way/shape/form. Our sole avenue for payments is via our credit card processor and that system is offline until we reopen. We apologize for the outage and will work on getting the website and payment system back online as a priority.

We will keep you updated with more information as it becomes available.
