Just be there at midnight to order....sale will not last too many more days...
Here's the news Retird...right off their site, am I missing something here ?

Today is the 27th and according to this news the end date was 2 days ago.

Sale and reopening Info
22 Dec 2011, 5:09 PM
We will be holding a sale starting Dec 23rd and continuing on until the 25th to bring you 20% off select e-liquids. We hope everyone is able to cash in on these savings while they last. We will be truncating orders to a level equal to what we can manage each day. I suspect the sale will only be available for a short while the first few days and we will consider extending the sale if need be to get everyone taken care of.

Taste is subjective.....I order 100 ml at a time and keep 200 ml in inventory all the time....so I can order it when it is available and do not ever run low....
They Aliens should keep the 20% discount and buy more ingredients so we can all get the damn stuff, and I'll trade the minuscule discount dollar amount to just be able to put my hands on some...this stuff better live up to the hype is all I gotta say.

I can appreciate there's a family illness and being a small business certain aspects will be affected, I can't be tough on them knowing that, although I already have... I hope his wife has a speedy and successful recovery and their business continues in a positive way.

Ambien-Tech...bet you sleep well, you live in Los Angeles by chance.

There it is. Ben and Christy are great people. Imagine if you ran a small business (I do) and you had to shut down because your wife got sick. Folks are raving about your product on ECF and you're working double shifts to meet demand.

Give 'em a break.

So true, while I do like Bobas it's not my fav AV Juice. I prefer Gorilla over Bobas and my fav is Hype. Just because a juice gets Raved about or Slammed doesn't mean the next person is going to feel the same way.

Part of owning a small business is working double shifts and more if that's what's required to keep up with customer demand. It was not my intention to kick someone while their down, just making the point that anyone selling a product would look at the numbers and supply their product according to demand, just makes good business sense to me.

I have no doubt that Ben and Christy are great people and want nothing more than happy customers, I wish nothing but the best for them and their business.

I would say, after owning two small businesses, that you also dont want to invest the capital (in both inventory, machines, and people) to ramp up for something that is in high demand today but tomorrow can fall to an average demand. That is a sure fire way to go bankrupt (been there and done that with one of my businesses).

Its a catch 22... you tick off enough customers due to lack of availablity and they go elsewhere. You ramp up to meet demand and when it falls you're stuck with a lot of extra inventory and capital expenses you cant cover.

Don't want to belabor it, guess I am though..

If they've tracked sales quantities of their products, in this case a most popular, it all sell out within a matter of minutes,I don't think ramping up production of one key product will put them in chapter 7, once again JMO.

Anyway...I look forward to receiving my batch and hope to enjoy it as much as all others do.

If I wanted my product to be perceived as special and maintain my price, a limitation of availability keeps the masses wanting and cherishing it. De Beers has done it with diamonds very well for a long time. No accusation, it's good juice, but the perception of scarcity certainly hasn't hurt with the attention it brings.

I'm lucky that my sweet spot vapes are from Halo and Totally Wicked. They're not cheap but have great QC, consistent products and are always in stock, giving me peace of mind. I still hoard when there's a sale. I am pretty certain I'll be able to get my favorites whenever I need them and that makes me a happy vaper.

Can't argue with the exclucivity factor, anyone looking to buy the cherished BB would certainly believe it's as good as it gets based on it's following and limited availability.

The Alien site has been updated stating they'll be back to full operating capacity very soon, good to hear these folks are on the mend.
