2012 Juice of the Year Awards?

[Sa Da Tay]

Hi everybody-

I'm not very active on this forum anymore but as my 1 year ECF Anniversary is coming up, I thought I'd start putting this thought out there. Some of you may remember last year's (un)official 2011 juice Of the Year thread started by poster mwa and (somewhat) meticulously collated and spreadsheeted by yours truly. I know there are currently some running tallys of best juice/vendor etc and without stepping on those threads, I'm wondering if you ECF'ers would be interested in me doing it again this year. I think there are some new things we could do (namely, categories like best tobacco, best fruit etc) and I'm open to other ideas.

Also for anyone looking: the original 2011 thread has been either moved or deleted (I can't find it at least), but either way I unfortunately accidentally deleted my original spreadsheet link (idiot) and didn't have a backup

 

[gthompson]

Absolutely.

Oh excellent, Sa Da Tay!!! I had been thinking of starting just this thread in about a month, so I'm pleased to see that you have!

I can help you out with the original 2011 thread, and, I have every one of your updates for the wonderful spreadsheet you created!

Let's do it!

Final spreadsheet from the 2011 thread:

 

[Sa Da Tay]

Thanks ECF peoples! Well unless there are any resounding arguments against this that pop up here, I'll assume I'm doing this thing. I'll create another thread for the actual poll, but maybe we can pool together ideas to maximize the vaporifficness (copyright pending) of this 2012 version? For instance, what should the categories be?

 

[Allazar]

I am most definitely interested... I think it was a great thing last year, and would be very educational for everyone yet again... particularly at the rate that vaping and vaping technology is expanding every year!

Awesome!!!! Thanks so much Kat!! I was tearing my hair out trying to find a cached/saved version of this.

There should definitely be a category for new juice sold for the first time in 2012...

An overall category that is open to all entries...

And I will leave other thoughts up to everyone else!

 

[gthompson]

Tobaccos
Fruits
Desserts
Bakery
Drinks
Candies
Menthols
Other

?

Desserts and Bakery could probably be combined. Would there be a separate vote for overall best?

 

[Katdarling]

Sa Da, I can post all of them, or PM them to you if you like.

And I'll edit out my "vote" post since you'll be starting a new thread.

 

[gthompson]

That's probably too many categories now that I look at it in print.

 

[gthompson]

I like the "Best New Juice" idea above also. I'm not sure a lot of folks will know if a juice is new to 2012 though.

That's a good start and yeah I agree combining bakery and desserts. I can see a problem deciding where hybrid flavors would go, e.g. a peach tobacco or a strawberry daquiri. I would argue that you go by the main category suggested by the last word (i.e. "tobacco" and "drink" in the examples here).

 

[Sa Da Tay]

Of course it would be pretty cool to break up tobaccos into Ry4, 555 etc but now we're talking some crazy collating and organizing. I'll have to think on that.

 

[gthompson]

RY4 might deserve it's own category, although when you get down to it, it's really a tobacco.
