The starter kit portion is still down, it's the only section down. In addition to revamping the website page by page, they are also adding new things. They were talking about a new starter kit being in the works for the X2, so maybe... And they are also going to be adding the X2 cases, new X2 colors, and the new CE3's sometime very soon, too.
Also, the only real advantage to ordering the kits is anything that may be offered in the "extras" section of the kit is at a slightly discounted price from over in the accessories (ala carte section). So, listed here are SI's
three main kits and prices (but I think only the Premium and Pro have "extras" to choose from). The Standard kit is probably the most popular - and best, in my opinion, for a new vapor to see how they like it, followed closely by the Pro. The Premium is good if one wants the standard size pass
through - which I did to put in my car along with the car charger from "extras." Now, some folks are going to still want that option, but I think for me - now - I'd go for the Pro and add the car charger, usb charger, wall adapter, and neoprene sleeve from "extras," but then get a nice 650 mAh X2 from accessories in place of the standard pass
through. The X2 is still considered a passthough, and probably still my choice for use in the car (standard cartos can still be used with the X2, but maybe the regular passthough is still best for a newbie). Also, newer cars come with a usb hub built in, so might not even need the car charger.

Customer service can also confirm their choice of battery color, size, and auto or manual. Keep in mind, the 78 battery adds $1 for cost over the 65mm battery, and the rainbow would add $2. Prices don't change with auto or manual choice. So, anyway, here are the contents of the three top starter kits at this time. Your new convert can check for colors and flavors in the accessories and cartos sections.
Standard Starter Kit: 2 batteries, a 5-pack of cartos, the usb charger and wall adapter. $45
Pro Starter Kit: 2 batteries, pcc- personal carry case - slider or mega v2, 5-pack of cartos. $65
Premium Starter Kit: 2 batteries, two 5-packs of cartos, the pcc, and the standard passthrough battery (not the X2). $95
I would recommend adding a usb charger and wall adapter to both the Pro and Premium kits (I believe both kits give the option on their "extras", check with customer service.
Anyway, the site kits page will probably be back up for tomorrow at the latest, but maybe all that will help in the meantime.
