Results of the 4th Netty Awards held between December 2016 and April 2017
Hi all,
I know it has taken me a long time to compile and post the results of this 4th Netty awards and I do apologize. Initially the delay was due to a thin response and I was concerned that tally the votes would reveal a fairly superficial result. We eventually got a few more votes and a sufficient amount that I could reap some fairly meaningful results, however I got really busy there for the last few months.
Before I post the results I would like to make a few small comments and disclaimers:
- I am assigning values of 3, 2 and 1 for the order of voting in the top 3 by each voter. If a voter only posted 1 response to a category it will get the full 3 votes. I will also list the numerical total of all votes for each of the 3 winners in each category. This will allow readers to gauge how deep the response was for a category and how popular a juice was.
- If, in each category, there is only vote, or in a situation that that there were multiple votes but no juice was voted on more than once, that category will be considered ‘not determined’ and I will insert the words ‘not determined’ in that category. There needs to be at least 2 votes for the one juice for there to be a result.
- I have done my best to properly and accurately name each juice and vendor but I have not checked every single vote. In some cases I know the juices well and don’t need to check. In other cases I simply have not checked so I apologize if I have misspelled or misrepresented a voters response.
- Likewise, I have not disqualified any vote where the voter has made an error in properly categorising their vote. I have taken the votes as they are.
- I will only post the top 3 and only in the event that there is a close running fourth in a category will I post beyond 3. I won’t post every juice that was voted on as that will make the results cumbersome and it would take a lot of time.
- Because it has taken me 5 months to post this poll, some of the juices in the poll have been discontinued. I will represent them anyway in the poll.
- The only abbreviation I have used for a vendor in the results is for naturally-extracted-tobacco.com which I have abbreviated to NET.com
- No honorary mentions will be listed in the results. Please feel free to look back on the thread for suggestions from ECF members on honorary members.
- Finally if I have made any errors either in my description of the juice, my calculations or tally I do apologize. I have done my best to try and faithfully represent the votes.
Finally, thank you to all who have participated in this poll. May you all continue to vape and not smoke and continue to support vaping across all jurisdiction in the US and across the world to stop government officials from trying to ban, restrict or unfairly tax. Please support the Cole Bishop amendments in the US.
So without further to do I am very excited and proud to show you the results of the 4th NETTY Awards!
