And now, THE End.

Wheeerr'm I gonna go noowwww??? *extreme whine*

I've been stinky free since 17 Mar 2012, my very first order was from VE, my last one a few weeks ago and all the ones between so I'm absolutely gutted. Will have to be scanning the board for a new supplier, doubt anyone holds a candle to VE. Excellent service! Wishing Jason & co nothing but the best.

When I first joined the forum VE Jason was then and always has been held in high esteem around these parts, sad to see you go but do hope you're walking away on your terms and not being forced out... good luck for the next chapter Jason

Never nice to see a business close.

Is the site still down due to fault, or has the closing sale finished ?

[VE David]

peter12 site is still down. We are working on a solution as we speak.

Ok no problem at all. I forgot all about your sale and when I checked in I remembered. Maybe I can grab a bargain still as someone posted that site was only live with sale for 10 mins.

Good luck with your future endeavours

Edit: when its working again pm me and give me a 5 min headstart before you tell everyone else ;P

The end of a vaping legend
So sorry to hear this VE Jason
Like many others I found Vapescape invaluable when I started and have had impeccable service from you over the years - you will be greatly missed. Thanks for everything.

Very sad to see a quality trusted and respected vendor close. Hope your closure is preemptive VE Jason

On a more positive note at least blakey will regain control of his wallet!!

Thanks for all the kind messages

Looks like I made a big mistake in sending out a newsletter at the same time as posting on forums, Facebook & Twitter.

The load took the server down (along with a lot more companies on the same server) and it's just not dropping at the moment (too many F5'ing )

So the best advice I can give is to leave it a while before checking again and we'll try and ease it back in

Nothing like going out with a bang, think you may have stopped the stock exchange for the day... Very best of luck VE Jason & thanks for all the help and bargains you have supplied many with.

WOW VE Jason... that's a shock from 'out of the blue'.

I truly hope this is in your life's plan and not something forced upon you.

VE is one of very few sites that I recommend to people who ask me 'where can I get one'... a business and a staff that have offered and delivered quality and exceptional customer service.

Whatever the reasons, I wish you Jason, and all your staff further success in the future in whatever you all pursue.

Please keep in touch on the forum with updates on what you are doing (within reason)

Sorry to hear this VE Jason

Like others have said I found Vapescape invaluable when I started (Riva 1100) and have had impeccable service from you over the years. Thanks for everything.

Wishing you all the best for the future.

This is sad news indeed.

I'd like to thank Jason for what was truely a good, reliable and honest service. You'll be sorely missed.

Also hoping that the decision is not TPD related.

All the best to ya son! xx

Well that wasn't a good day

My apologies for the website (which is still down) - having handled sales easily before I (wrongly) assumed that it would be fine.

Every time the Tech guys get it back up it rapidly gets brought down again.

At one stage today around lunchtime we had 288 baskets trying to get through checkout at the same time

Anyway, they are going to try and ease it back in overnight and tomorrow morning and if that doesn't work, we will move servers just for the closing down sale.

We can only apologise for the inconvenience

On a brighter note - I'd really like to thank you all for your messages on the forum, by PM, email and telephone - they really have been overwhelming and very much appreciated.

VE Jason tell the tech guys to setup a free cloudflare account will help it not get knocked offline or errors 10 minutes to setup
and should be fine

[VE Jason]

Thanks @zuza that is an option - it's just the propagation period I wanted to avoid if we can get ours back up and settled.
