Hiya folks. I'm sorry but I don't have much time here to hang out.....we're dealing with more glitches than we ever thought possible! (I promise we tested this and none of these problems happened in the test......but there's no way to simulate hundreds of people trying to get 20 items, so there ya go).

Regarding these Black Friday deals. Some of these products are up to 82% off so we cannot afford to offer them in large quantities. For this reason, we posted an extremely limited supply of each of theses deals (ranging from 10 to 25 items but nothing lower than 10). Because these deals are so good, people are lining up on the website and waiting for their preferred deal to pop up. On some of these deals, like the Pluid or the RBFS 6-Pack, there are literally hundreds of people waiting for these deals to pop up! For example, the RBFS 6-Pack deal had 247 people waiting for the deal to pop up. The equation is something like this:

247 People trying to get
15 items
= Selling out in seconds

Now, I know there are going to be people who say "Why didn't you put more up? Why only offer 15 items?" My answer to that is, "Why put anything up?" We put up what we could afford to put up and we did this to make it fun for people to try to get something at a price they'd never, ever see in a normal retail situation. Believe me, there is nothing I would love more than to be able to give these prices to everyone every day. Unfortunately, I can only offer these deals to the select few who are lucky enough to get them before they sell out.

Yes, there will be times you have it in your cart and, when you go to check out, it's gone........because it sold out.

There are people who are logging into their account before the sale goes live and putting the items in the cart in advance. Keep in mind having in your cart doesn't "reserve" that item for you.......that wouldn't be fair to everyone. It doesn't get removed from stock until you actually check out. If we allowed this, it would give the people who put it in their carts first an unfair advantage. Let's say someone put the item in their cart last Tuesday......should they get the deal before anyone else? An hour ago? Twenty minutes? At what point is it fair? We posted we would release each deal at a certain time. This means the items, while available on the site before the deal goes live, are not committed until you have actually checked out. This means it is first come, first serve......as fair as we can possibly make it.

I have many people contacting me trying to get expired deals. We are able to determine if an order was attempted after sell out or if it was in stock when it was attempted. If your order was attempted after the item was sold out, I am truly sorry but there's nothing I can do. If your order was attempted while the item was in stock and it was unsuccessful due to a glitch, I promise we will make it right.

Please bear with us as we work through the numerous issues. I am personally looking at each and every order placed today and I will fix every error or glitch in time. If you have issues that are not addressed by tomorrow morning, please email me directly at [email protected] and I will get to it as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I feel very fortunate for all the great stuff that @VaporWatch does for the community and provides to @VapeOn86 to do for us all to.

I made sure to way for the very moment that each item I wanted showed the sale price and then added it completed my purchases as quickly as my fat fingers could type everything in and managed to snag the following:

6 pack of 30ml bottles of 12:50
30 ml bottle of WTF
30 ml bottle of Hydroshock
250ml bottle of 100mg Nic... Really surprised that he sold this naturally self competing product ;) but glad that I got it at a massive savings nonetheless!

Really looking forwad to my $30 of vapemail next week :)

@InMyImage You know, I was simply going to let it go. Your reply just sits the wrong way. I too am grateful for the opportunity of a great bargain. I too am in awe of all Watch does. You seem under the misapprehension that I just was not fast enough. Let me make something clear for you: It is one thing to have a sale where everyone has the opportunity to purchase, it is another matter all together for that offer to NEVER APPEAR. From what Watch said, it seems it was not necessary to use the 'current deal' button. I did. In the case I mentioned the 'current deal' button NEVER WORKED. For other deals the button worked if only for a few seconds, not this one. What type of 'unfair advantage' is that?

I'm out.

People complaining there are only 10-25 of a certain item on sale clearly havent been to a real retail stores 'Black Friday' where there are usually 1-5 ONLY of the best deals... Usually if you are not one of the first 10 people in line, you get nothing..

Ok so I know a LOT of people are waiting for this next one. 115 ml of Pluid for $18 is indeed nothing short of an extraordinary deal! So good luck, click fast and try to have fun, whether you end up with a bottle or not :)

It is now 16:00 est, correct? I don't see the deal listed under current deals.

Okay, I see that Admiral's Pipe, 6 pack is sold out. How can this be if the deal just started(been watching for it just before time and it does not say that Admiral's Pipe is sold out on its regular page)?
Admiral's Pipe is a River Bottom Fog Sauce flavor. It was not part of the black friday sale as an individual item, only as part of the 6 pack or 4 pack offers. The 4 pack was part of the 12:00 AM EST sale and the 6 pack was the one that went live at 4pm EST.

In order to get the Admiral's Pipe as part of the black friday sale, you would have had to pick the RBFS 6 pack deal and then build it with that flavor, along with 5 others. It was never part of a black friday offer by itself, although if it is still in stock you can get it as part of the 20% off sale.

Also, as Watch said their were hundreds of people in line for that particular deal and it went in seconds, so yes, even if you were looking at the 6 pack sometime immediately after 4:00 PM EST, it is quite possible that you didn't see it change price simply because the packages available at that price were already gone.

For my deals it took less than 15 seconds to go from adding it to my cart and completing checkout.

And sorry if you took my message personally as an attack, it really wasn't meant that way and I'm sorry that you were not able to get the deals that you wanted. But even 20% off is a good deal for the juices that Watch sells.

@InMyImage Yes, they are really some fantastic deals. After asking and receiving no answer to the part of my questions you immediately address I did figure out the difference between a regular stock item and a deal item. That part was not addressed after. There were only two people who replied to my questions at all. Yourself and the young lady VapeOn86. After your post at page top, was I supposed to see something different?

Even so, I apologize. I'm an old man and get a bit cranky after a couple nights with no sleep and nursing a migraine. My statement still stands though. If, with no glitches, the button worked and then said 'too bad you were late' or 'sold out', no problem. I do not question the limited items for sale offering, only the fact that the opportunity to lose out was not even afforded. Such was the example that Watch provided, assuming everyone had the chance to either 'luck out' or not.

For the last deal, I did luck out and score some Pluid. Even after being a bit late. Kind of seeing triple with an aura about now. Also just grabbed a bottle of Porch Rocker for my last purchase of the sale.

Hi @MacFalic ,
Please check your PM

I tried to send you several emails today and only noticed them coming back as undeliverable about 15 minutes ago, when I sent you a PM.

I do not know why but some emails going to free accounts like Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail are being blocked and others aren't. We're looking into this but, considering the holiday, I'm not sure what can be done. We'll remain available by PM here and on Facebook as well as through our helpdesk (although you may need to check it regularly if the emails are being blocked) until we can figure out this email thing.

Thanks

Watch

What's the current deal? It doesn't seem to be working for me... I want a Delta Command II. :)

Still bummed about the 12:50 special because of the time zone thing, darnit!

2 Questions and a Whole Bunch of Gratitude @VaporWatch and @VapeOn86 first thank you so much for the unbelievable sales! I am a little confused about the shipping, I am sorry if I missed where you explained this! I thought we would receive a coupon for free shipping so the orders could be combined. Also and Is the Mystery Item the hourly item? Or can you order and not know what you get? Thanks!

Thank You to everyone. All is well and good in the world. At least my little part, not counting this damnable migraine. I apologize to all for any misunderstanding and for putting up with an old man's crankiness, some would say pettiness(of course not me.)

I still stand in awe of Watch and his company, for what he does and the level of respect he holds. If I indicated otherwise please know this.

A special thanks to VapeOn86 and InMyImage. I do appreciate your assistance and kindness.

(Enough ass-kissing, it does not agree with my headache.) But still, Thank You!

So I had a cigar last night and tonight and man, my vape is so much better. Burning eyes with the cigar and never bring able to get the taste out of my mouth. Besides the fact my 1250 has much better flavor. I now hate smoking cigars

np @MacFalic I'm glad you were able to snag a few deals, so that it didn't work out on one or two of the ones you wanted.

I know it must get frustrating sometimes though, because I'm pretty certain that I've seen a prize or two snatched from your grasp over on vapers.tv.

Hope the head feels better in the morning :)

Awesome sale @VaporWatch , wish I'd have been able to get in on it, unfortunately for me Black Friday came a week before payday, so I couldn't partake of the wonderful deals. Really wanted to though, guess I'll have to make the bottle of Katana and the bottle of Hound Dog last me a little while, I'm definitely making an order after Christmas, I'll probably be out of good juice by then.

I took advantage of the 15% to buy a couple bottles of Latakia. Picture me a happy camper. Hope you get well soon @VapeOn86.

@Damwow Although I did not get teased for it I felt like a representative during mod envy. lol

Yeah, my transmission decided this Christmas season would be a good time to go to hell. Wrong time of year for major expenses and not something I wanna take chances with when the temps are single digits. This Christmas gonna be more lean than it already was, but hey, I'm employed at least.
What kind of car you driving?

They put him in ICU he has pneumonia, blood clots forming in his lungs (even tho he is on blood thinners) BP still to high and blood sugars ranging between 250 and 400. WTF they have no clue whats going on. Just another day in paradise whats next????
