Glad to see yall finally got the site working right now, I just tested it and indeed its loading pages and browsing fast. I had bad experience related to same above issues around 2 years ago, I finally just stopped using site, (very minimal). Ecigexpress is a great site and has wide varity of flavors and supplies, am very excited to see this problem resolved.

Good job on the response
Usually when a good vendor is made aware results happen

Recipe site is totally hosed right now. Actually for the past several days.
It likes a bot attack of some kind. Several posts by the same user in under a minute and it continues like this forever by different random users.
You are in the wrong thread. This one is for ecigexpress not ELR.
Even being more expensive per mil, I would love this option if it wasn’t Ecig Express. I can’t even get on their site and on the rare occasion I can, clicking to a new page will load forever or just dump me into “Web page cannot be reached.”

Try it now, they’ve improved the speed of their website over the last couple (few?–until two days ago it’s been awhile since I last visited) weeks. It’s much faster and I don’t get “Web page cannot be reached” anymore like I used to. But now I’m getting other problems and I’m not sure if it’s related to them or me–I’m guessing it’s related to me since I see no one else complaining about it. But every time I go there it freezes for about 10 seconds every page load and then tells me Shockwave Flash has crashed. Once I click “Stop Plugin” I can browse the page, but as soon as I load the page again or load another page I get the same thing. Like I said, not sure if it’s just me or if others are experiencing it, so it might be worth giving them a shot to see.

I did, just to be sure right before I replied. The snide response I got from customer service is that it’s a problem with my computer and “no one else is having this problem”. I cleared my cookies, tried different browsers and even different devices. I told them that yes quite a few people were having this problem and it’s like this from all of my devices and they never replied. Obviously, I’m not the only one to have issues with them. I know they’re a verified vendor here but they don’t really seem to care if a few of the peasants can’t get on their site.

Up until recently that is definitely not true and if it’s you as well as me, it’s still probably not true. Between your problems, my problems, and their history of problems on their website it honestly sounds like perhaps @ecigexpress should get a professional web developer to fix their website issues.

It’s a shame because obviously a lot of people are having a good experience. The feeling I got from them, both here in the complaint topic and through their e-mail customer service is that it’s my problem, not theirs.

Sorry to hear you are having trouble with the site.
This is occuring now? Could you tell me what internet service you are using? I’ve checked this on evry browser and device type available and definatey not seeing this issue, but I’d definately like to resolve it if possible and it may be an ISP issue.
Also if possible I’d like to see this in action via Teamviewer if you wouldn’t mind? Obviously if we were seeing this issue on our end we would have resolved it already, but this is the first time I’ve heard of anyone getting a “Web page can’t be reached” error.
If anyone is having this error, it is possible that they are getting flagged as suspicious behavior by site security (for example, if you, your browser or ISP are constantly reloading the page or jumping pages at a high volume, it’ll look like a denial of service attack).
If I can get your IP address, I can check that as well. Feel free to private message me that info and I will check it asap.

Our current speed testing from several different ISPs all fall in line with the following load times, but obviously load times will depend on your internet service provider’s actual speed.
@kungfoogorilla the only flash on our site is Norton Security, but To answer your question, yes the “Shockwave Flash has crashed” is an issue with the addon or app in your browser, not the site itself. The best way to fix that error is to make sure you have the most up to date version, especially if you are using the Chrome browser. According to Adobe, there was a known bug in older versions of Chrome which “significantly impacted Flash performance” (their words) and caused it to crash repeatedly. This has been fixed in the most recent version of Chrome.
One other potential cause is out-of-date drivers, especially graphics card drivers as that will also cause flash to crash if it’s in conflict with the flash plugin
I don’t want to seem rude, and I love ecig express and appreciate customer service. But this is the Real flavors thread. Could you possibly take the rest of this to the ecig express thread or your other thread…
I would say the same thing to Real Flavors if this was was happening on your thread about another vendor.

I’m sorry @ecigexpress and @Ryan_ecigexpress, I’ve been through all of this last year and don’t have the time to go through it all again. Recently I’ve installed a new browser through Avast on one of my devices so I did do a check with this, and with this I can get to your site but it’s still slow and a few of the links don’t work. I’m not getting malware and certificate alerts like I used to so that’s an improvement. Back when my initial headaches began you guys said pretty much the same thing, all your tests were fine so it was just me or my ISP or something basically meaning it’s not a problem on your site.
Back then I asked a friend with a different ISP and loads of computer knowledge if he had any ideas. He has ways of testing every OS and every browser because he does this kind of work. He was having varying levels of the same kinds of problems. The bottom line is, I don’t have any such problem on any other site, only yours and I’m not the only one so it’s not just my problem. I appreciate your response. There has been a bit of improvement so maybe in the future I’ll try again but it won’t be very soon.

Sorry I must have been typing as you posted this and I agree but they are carrying RF now so it kind of applies a little bit.

I’d like to respect @MysticRose’s request here, but obviously it’s an issue I’d like to correct though I honstly can’t do anything about “back then” and can only apologize for any problems you used to have and invite anyone with any problems whatsoever to go to the other thread MysticRose linked to and I will work on them asap. With that, let’s please allow this thread to go back to Real Flavor Tasting Notes since site performance (whether it is one person or a thousand) is not related to tasting notes of a flavor brand.
Hope that didn’t sound rude, I worked on the wording for 10 minutes

I think it would be really great to have sub-category where members can interact with vendors for comments, complaints, assistance and/or praise… kinda like a centralized location for vendors and consumers. The vendors help and comments are all over the place here and I do see some repetition about certain issues.
This could be very helpful for individuals that’s looking to do business with only good vendors that support the community. It could be profitable to vendors, but it can be very helpful for the community to see how certain vendors really help the community.
I’ve been in conversations about how ELR can better interact with vendors for more exposure and maybe marketing some of our one shot mixes like other forums and diy site do.
