Evening family!

So I've been thinking about having a contest and wanted to get a little input first. Especially since I would like to have a contest that doesn't involve guessing a number or Googling skills. I have 2 ideas I'm kicking around, the first being a "Most Drops In A Carto Contest". The second would be the "V4L Top Gun...World's Fastest Filler". Now, the only way to do this would require some guidelines and video.

Most Drops In A Carto: Contestants must use a V4L 30ml bottle to visibly drip countable droplets into a Carto until full, at the end they must be able to clearly show the Carto is not flooded and place the Carto down to stop the clock. Number of droplets will be agreed upon by at least 5 forum members viewing the video...which should be easy. Contestants can use a .... plug and employ the Taryn Spin.

V4L Top Gun...Worlds's Fastest Filler: Contestants must fill 3 Cartos in the shortest time possible by any means possible and show that the Cartos are not flooded. The clock will stop when the last Carto is shown as being unflooded and is then placed on a counter top. (A minimum of 25 drops or 1 ml would be necessary)

Unfortunately I realize that in the past very few family members enter video contests.

I think both contests would be fun and educational. But if only 3 people enter....I just don't think it will be worth doing. I do have a few other contest ideas as well in case these 2 ideas are not well received.

For prizes I was thinking of a bottle of Wowboy 18, Wow555 18, and a Slim Charger. But I realize that would only appeal to folks that like those flavors. So I was also thinking of opting for the following instead:

Slim Charger
$25.00 V4L Gift Certificate

Would love any and all feedback....thanks. :2cool:

Ooooo if you do most drops in a carto then I could show off my magic Black Licorice carto - it came with my first order 4+ months ago, it survived my first attempts at cleaning/refilling (and several more since then), and it consistently holds 30+ drops... never seen another like it - it's magic I tell ya...

Good idea.
Would love a contest that doesn't require video for those of us who are under-equipped.

How about a dumb Haiku contest about vaping or V4L?

Like kittypie said, not all of us have the computer skills like photoshop and other graphic skills that a few have on here but I think most of the members on here feel left out when it comes to contest because the vendors do not take this into consideration while forgetting we are all potential customers, hopefully no one takes this the wrong way, I personally enjoy the graphics but I think the majority feels this way and are grateful for the contests.

Kritter (guessing sir) don't think it has to be anything fancy, just a simple video showing how many drops someone can get in a carto.... I'd enter but would be a guaranteed loser (6-7 drops max on average)....

Btw- Snow sir's not a vendor, just a great human being trying to do a contest. :)

Well, evidently one did take it the wrong way and I was just making a suggestion like Snow asked and you are right sir and if Snow decides to go that way, will be fine by me and I will pull for you!
btw I am sure Snow is a fine human being as most are on this forum!

Thanks for the input everybody....I've decided to change things around since the "video" idea doesn't look like it's going to pan out. Instead we will have V4L Forum Family Personalities Contest where I will give out clues about certain members and contestants will have name those members. I am putting it all together today and should have it ready by Friday.

Again, thank you for your replies......

Thanks Snow, When you asked for input I was thinking of the general feel of members. I personally could have made a video but you seem to have wanted more to enter, therefore my suggestion. I did not want to create any hard feelings
