I'm glad that an e-liquid vendor thinks enough of our opinion that they are proud of winning and that they want to win. I have only tried one of their juices so far and I like it. I have two more put back that I haven't even tried so I'm not a huge Nicoticket fan (yet) so nobody can say I am brainwashed.

I will say that they have the most enthusiastic fans of any vendor on this forum, there is something to be said for that.

Happy voting!

I really like the idea of voting and I am open minded enough and interested enough to see what other vapors are liking. Seeing the votes also gives me an idea of juices I would like to possible try. The fact that I have vaped Nicoticket exclusively for the past year is because I truly love it! If members feel strongly enough about their preferences, all they have to do is vote for what they like! So although MY votes go to Nicoticket, I really encourage everyone to vote! I let my voice be heard, so do the same! And one last comment in agreement with others, no matter how many emails I might get, no one forces my opinions! Except my taste buds of course! Be happy, vape good juice and just enjoy the fact that we can vape and have our favorites!

As a wakonda warrior, and a convert from subpar juices tribal laws require us to vote at least twice a day.:p

What's the matter your discussing juice vendor loosing, or cookie cutter vender store ain't doing so well?

Truth is Clark & Kathy don't have to send out emails their products do all the talking and speaks volumes.

Please excuse me while I go vote again.

It simply comes down to the fact that customers of those vendors (me included) are apparently not as passionate about the product as Nicoticket customers.

Exactly right. Granted, it's all in fun, but it's not really about the best juice, it's about who has the most passionate customers.

So as far as this contest, best of ECF goes, a vendor can do this-
Nicoticket sends out emails to all his customers/newsletter subscribers asking for them to vote and provides a link. No other vendor does that! Almost stuffing the ballot box, or making a campaign out of it. When he wins all categories, which he will, he'll then post a big "Voted number one on ECF" on his website. Maybe it's a smart business move, but kinda slimy IMO. He even goes so far to "like" all the posts that vote for him. In that type of instance, the ECF rules for vendors have grey areas

But they can't participate in discussions? I don't get it. They can abuse being a vendor when it matters, like a contest which by nature should be fair, but they are mistrusted that they will abuse being a vendor when it comes to a regular thread where people are just discussing juices?
He has liked posts by people who didn't vote for him at all. So your argument is invalid. If his juice was not my favorite, I would not vote for them. I find all the selections I voted for to be my favorite of all.

Yep, Call me a Nicoticket Fanboi if you wish and I'll stand proud. You see, I tried literally hundreds of juices and bought many that I liked well before I ever found ECF or Nicoticket.

Yes, I am a self described juice ..... as well. After reading about Nicoticket here and seeing the posts of others, I decided on my own accord to give it a try. It was nothing less than the quality of the product that drew me in. The flavors actually tasted as they were described. Nothing more and nothing less. The customer service and Kent's attention to quality as well as the involvement with his customer base where also refreshing . The personal touches that he, Katy and crew added where nothing short of brilliant. Becoming part of the family was merely a bonus at first but over a short amount of time I soon realized what a diverse and wonderful family this truly is. Some of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of conversing with on line. If you have a question or happen to be in need of something or just happen to be having a hard time with life in general, these folks are more than willing to step up to the plate and show you their support with out passing judgment or putting you down. No drama, no flame wars, just a large group of folks who happen to enjoy life and vaping itself. Doesn't sound so bad does it?

You can bag on Nicoticket all you want but, there must be a reason why it's so popular and as the old saying goes, don't be knocking it until you've tried it. If it doesn't happen to hit for you, you have plenty of other vendors to choose from and the last time I checked, you are more than free to move on. No one will even be .... hurt about it at all as it only means all the more for us but, we are also more than happy to share. There are countless threads were new folks have been welcomed to the fold with open arms. You do not become just another number, you become a family member as well.

For those who may question my statements, I invite you all to head over to the Nicoticket section, pull up a chair and hang with us for a while. We will welcome you with open arms and I can honestly say that the experience you will enlighten may be your own. If ya can't beat us, you may as well join us.

In my mind, all of Nicoticket's accomplishments are none too shabby for a company that is barely a year and a half old!

On another note, Have you heard about " The official Nicoticket delivery device? :p Oh brother, that's a hole other can O'worms! ;)

In closing, some may ask if I enjoy other juices as well. The answer to that is a resounding yes but., I can truly say that Nicoticket will always be my main squeeze just because it is that good.

Live Long! Vape Strong! Distorto out...........:vapor:

Is others actually competing ?
That's like taking a Ugo to the drag strip.
Nicoticket is going to win because it is the best, and gets even better as it ages, from mailbox to empty 50ml bottle it kicks {MODERATED}.
Just when you think you've had the best vape in your life you wake up the next morning and it got 10 time better over night.

Then you realize holy crap I'm running low and at risk of running late for work you get online go to Nicoticket and order new stock so you can rotate some out from the stash cabinet.

    As posted it is just a bit of fun, Nicoticket want to promote it and other juice companies don't, that is not Nicoticket's fault.

    It is not like they are saying if you vote for us we will give you a discount or a free bottle of juice for voting for them.

    If people think it is bias, then so be it, but in my over 18 months of vaping, I've seen it very rare for someone not to like some of the juices from Nicoticket.

    Also just for info, I have not ordered any juice from Nicoticket for a very long time, due to going into DIY my own juice, so not a fan boy, but still have their banner to support what I believe is a great company with great juice and customer support.

    Couple of things to point out, here:

    1. This is not an ECF contest, it has nothing to do with us at all. It's a members [insert chat thread name here] contest. If ECF ran it / supported it then we'd have to impose some kind of standards, such as: no refill liquid can win it unless the vendor has supplied independent proof (checkable by us) that the product is safe and contains no toxic adulterants such as diacetyl. A full independent analysis would be required along with the test protocol used. It would have to check out OK.

    Can you imagine what would happen if we had an ECF E-Liquid Of The Year and it turned out to be toxic? Oh yeah, we are sure going to allow that to happen.

    2. We have altered the Rules to ensure that no one can name a contest 'ECF Best xxxxx', in order to avoid this problem.

    3. Members can have whatever contests they like but they can't name them 'ECF xxxxxx' - we got caught out by this one slipping through.

    4. If vendors want to try and influence the results of members' contests then they probably can, if the members who are running the contest don't prohibit that. I would, if I were a vendor - why not? If the contests is supposed to be fair then whoever is running it needs to ensure it stays fair. Since there is no such thing as 'fair' in this life once you get out of nursery school, the only way to try and enforce fairness is to have strict rules about vendor conduct - otherwise you get the wild west. For example, you could disqualify any vendor who sent emails or ran adverts about voting.

    There is no 'fair' - only rules make people behave fairly, and even then they'll try and game the system.
