Oh by the way the lady on the phone said ICE takes no longer than regular so yay for confusion.

Maybe it was old policy - but the way it WAS stored (before they moved) was harder to get to. Several people here can attest to that.

When a vendor -- this one in particular -- is down and out for 2 weeks and comes back online, in the middle of the FDA-induced hysteria no less.. Common sense tells you there will be backlog and wait times. If I were in any rush for anything I ordered, I would have placed that order elsewhere -- and in fact I ordered several flavorings from a different vendor (which have already arrived).

I'm sorry you're out of nic, but that's really not my fault and not WL's fault. I only mentioned patience because you're raging, and that really isn't going to make anything move faster.

I really like Wizard Labs and I think a little patience is in order. They did notify people on the website that they were having issues due to the move and they further stated they would be taking a limited amount of orders for the time being. They also stated they were inundated with orders when they reopened so they shut it down again.

I think they are conscientious and do not want to over extend themselves to the point of making mistakes with something as important as your nicotine order.

I've placed two small orders since they moved. I was not expecting anything to arrive quickly, so I'm not complaining about the delay in any way. Just making that clear. I'm only mixing what I like and there's no playing around with flavors of the future.

I would like to see them post more timely updates on their website about the progress of their relocation. I feel that if they are taking orders, some idea of how far they are behind would be in line, even though it would be a rough estimate of how long it might take.

I've read where they might not be filling orders in the order they were received. If that's accurate, then estimates would be impossible. Based on my orders, some of the flavors they have available must be closed to being gone because the day after I order, they go "Out of stock". We all know how their NIC supplies are running. I ordered a 60ml bottle of a new strength and a different carrier than what I typically use yesterday, and now it too is not available.

I'm not sure that anyone that sells NIC cares about the FDA rulings that are to happen in April, at least not right now. Without knowing the lead time to receive the ingredients to make their NIC, I would imagine the retailers recognize that there's a flood of orders waiting to be placed, and that once NIC is available, people will be ordering not only their normal quota but also that stash everyone is suggesting we all compile. As long as the retailers can get the NIC out the door and on it's way to purchasers before the rulings, I would guess they see this as a very good thing and they'd be happier if they could be selling it than not for now.

Anyway, that's just how I'm seeing it. I'm probably wrong, as usual. I do appreciate the relatively calming posts of Adeline, as she seems to be a steering factor in many of her replies. At my age, I've learned patience is a good thing, and not having it causes strokes:D.

Does anyone know of any vendors that are similarly priced (nic and flavoring) as WL? I'm not really wanting to mess with the 2+week turnaround (as indicated by a phone conversation with a rep at WL.) I tried RTS, but they appear to be down currently.

You might try Ecigexpress.
I have never ordered from them, but it looks like a lot of folks here have.....

I didn't get mine today but maybe tomorrow. I'm not really low I'm just getting 250 ml of 60mg [100% PG] so that I have some extra in the freezer.

Yeah I placed a huge order of flavors and some nic to put in the freezer "just in case." Even with the amount of liquid that I go through (admitted chain vaper), vaping 1mg means I barely use any nic at all.

good to hear some are coming in. I ordered on the 8th, still shows processing. Hoping first of next week it comes. Im vaping on some Loranns cinnamon I got at walmart last weekend to tide me over. Its oil and doesnt mix real well. Quick shake and its fine on me dripping rba though. If I could ever get my anise/licorice mix right I would be ok. but it never works how it should LOL

I just got my shipping notice, I ordered on the 7th. Im so glad.

Now I'm jealous:) I just checked and I ordered mine on the 6th and I still don't have a shipping notification. Just says processing. I'm not in a big hurry since I have a couple of months worth of nic here at the house. I just like making sure I don't get too low.
