Vapor Station - This Connection is Untrusted

[QueenVictoria]

I was about to order the sample package of eJuice from Vapor Station, what gets rave reviews, when FireFox pops up with "This Connection is Untrusted". Disappointed is an understatement. Read such good things about this juice, I had my credit card out and everything. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it even a problem? I am hesitant to ignore this warning until I get some responses here. I put my CC back in my wallet for now and will return to order after my concerns have been addressed. Thanks in advance for your reply. I am eager to try this juice that got such good reviews.

Hey Queen,

I have had Firefox give me that warning over sites that I knew were trustworthy... but I never ignore it either.

I don't really know what criteria Firefox uses to determine when it should give you that warning, but I assume it's possible that a security breach of the site might be one reason - geeks, can you tell me if this is correct?

In addition to whatever information you get here, perhaps you should try contacting the site as well.

I have ordered from vapor station three times, with no problems whatsoever. I didn't receive any message like that, it could be the security settings or something like that on your computer. Anyway, their juice is so good, it will be worth it to proceed with caution. You could call Eric, he would probably also take a phone order. Good Luck!

I just checked the site using Google Chrome and Kaspersky and it's all clear.

I found this posted by Eric on the vsvapor forum, this is the problem.

I checked it with Norton Internet Security 2010, It's fine according to Norton, if that helps.

It sounds like it's just a temporary snafu. If their SSL cert is really invalid right now, it would make me wonder what your security software is looking for. Also, the SSL probably doesn't kick in until you go to the order page.

If you just check the front page it will appear fine since the store front is not a secure site. Since the site isn't trying to load any malware that is all the sec. suites are checking for.

I've ordered from VS as well and had no problems, do not take this as an issue with his business ethics, it sounds like it's just a paperwork issue that he is resolving. Sorry about your bad timing.

From the geeg's point of view Vapor Station is fine.

If you keep getting this message again, check your browser settings.

Thank you all so much. I will return to the site today and probably place the order. What is your favorite flavor?

The exact same thing happened to me but with Alien Visions. I too have firefox and norton security and I get very worried when I go to sign on this big red X comes up.I really want to try a couple of their juices but I always get nervous every time I try to get on their site.

This can happen with a trusted site at anytime; it usually means the site was hacked.

I get no warnings from Bit Defender with Alien Visions but the site does have an unsafe WOT rating. Normally I do not navigate a site with this warning but, there seems to be a lot of people on the forum that order Boba's Bounty from them though.

Went ahead and ordered the sample pack. The reviews were just too good. Norton be damned.
