Maybe you ordered late Hawaii time? I ordered 6pm california time on Friday and fedex was supposed to deliver it tommorow but It was just delivered. I have never had issues with shipping but I had orders missing items although not in the last 6 or so orders. Just because the webite says it was shipped today doesn't necessarily mean it was shipped today. Sometimes it doesn't post as fast as it's shipped. But on a side note try to order juice before you need it that way you won't be without it and be tempted to slip back to analogs. Just a friendly suggestion from a person who learned her lesson the hard way in my early days of vaping. :)

You have any local vendors around you? They are probably there, just hard to find. One of the reasons I learned to mix my own was I now never run out of e-liquid. I might run out of my favorite flavoring but its rare. I buy nicotine base in quarts lol so I can whip up a batch any time I want. It is a pain, and messy though at times, but I believe its worth it.

Now.. when the wife runs out of smokes.. I just smile and vape a cloud in her direction.. then she throws something at me usually and makes me go buy her cigarettes, but that's beside the point! ;P

A good rule of thumb is to order when you have more than a week's supply left. If keeping enough on hand is too expensive, consider mixing, many of us would love to help you get started, and other than the initial cost of buying flavorings and mixing tools your price drops to around 25% of what retail eliquid costs.

If you can do without the nicotine, its relatively easy to whip up a small batch of 0 nic juice:

- pick up some VG (Glycerin, USP) at your local Walmart or pharmacy
- pick up some Lorann's flavoring at your local craft store
- pick up some Distilled Water to dilute the VG so it's not as thick
- mix the Lorann's in 20% ratio

And there you go, you're now a DIY'er

Volcano ships order out within 24 hours of when the order was received, this is done on Hawaii time and in the form of business hours. Volcano is closed on weekends. This of course also can be dependent on if you placed the order after business hours. I of course am just throwing ideas out there though as to why it could have occurred as Volcano never just decides to inconveniently send out orders. I am sure there is a logical explanation. :thumbup:

You can pick up distilled water in the grocery store.. walmart sells it in gallon jugs next to their drinking water. Distilled means it has no impurities at all unlike drinking water.. ie: nothing added. It is probably a buck or two a gallon. You can find VG in Walmart as well called "Glycerin USP" in the skin care isle or in the isle where you find the rubbing alcohol. Mix about 80% VG to 20% distilled water, then use that to make your mix.. mix in 20% flavoring to 80% of that VG mixture you just made and vape it! ;P

Edit: My first attempt at DIY was with LorAnn's Watermelon flavoring and VG with a bit of distilled water. Worked out great. It seems most cake decorating isles have LorAnn's flavorings, and any of them that say "artificial flavor and propylene glycol" are typically safe to use. Once I discovered I could make a good tasting mix without nic, I ordered up my nic base and started making my own.
