Is anyone else having problems with 101vape.com?
I haven't been able to connect in few days and am wondering if we crashed them with the Atlantis deal that Joe pimped...

I can't even find them on Yelp - you sure you don't mean vape 101 that has quite a few stores?

Hmm. It was down the other day for like 4h too. On black friday it was reeeeaaally slow and It didn't send me confirmation email. I did receive my package from them very quickly though!

Okay... Thanks for the input guys.
I'm sweating...
I have ALWAYS gotten incredible service and lightning fast shipping from them- they are one of my go-to vendors.
I hope this is not a permanent situation but just a temporary shut down to catch up

If both their website and phone are down, and yelp says it's closed, I'd be concerned if I had an outstanding order...

Yep. Finally popped for an Atlantis- the price was just too good.
Fingers crossed

Besides, my IPV2 kept begging for one and I got tired of hearing it whine.
I just hope the price wasn't TOO good...

101Vape is my go to store. Cheap prices and super fast delivery. Hope everything is okay.

Maybe they got a denial of service attack from another vendor trying to stop them from selling at such cheap prices.

Yeah..Bluehost??? They blow...

I've been with mine since 2006 and almost never have downtime.
Seems Bluehost likes to fuck their customers over with CPU throttling if a site gets too much traffic. I can't for the life of me think of a more idiotic business model.CPU power is cheap, looks like these dicks just don't understand that taking a commercial website offline tends to make the customer really, really angry.

URL forwards to that.

Woop woop!
I'm glad to see them back live!
Was able to get tracking on my Atlantis and it shipped out as quickly as I've come to expect from 101.
Whew...:D

Glad to see, but I hope they learned something and get off that crappy host.... ;)

Penny wise and pound foolish does not work well in hosting, I learned that the hard way with Eryxma.

It can happen. I run a poetry website, used to be a lot more active than it is now, and over the course of the last thirteen years I've had my server fry three times. But then again I wasn't processing massive orders of anything so it is important to have something reliable.

Happy to see they are back up. One of my favorite vendors -- bought from them on Black Friday during their sale, and it was delivered on Monday. I was expecting a wait due to the certain crush of orders they must have received with their sale, but just as fast delivery as they usually provide. Hopefully their new web host will allow their site to be as speedy as their service.

If they actually closed that's sucks. They were a good company that didn't try to rip your mouth out. I felt with them many times and was always happy.

My guess? Someone saw their site down for a few days and reported them closed. Anyone can do that.

Probably one of their competitors...;)

Didn't I read somewhere that Kanger was retaliating against them for selling to cheap? Listing them as one of the vendors selling Kanger knock offs?

A Chinese company complaining about clones?
A Chinese company that clones clones and markets them as theirs. It's a snake eating it's tail over there with new technology or ideas.
