Radioactive
CLS
H1N1
Frenilla
Peanut Butter Cookie
The Doodle
Banana Pudding
Hummingbird (or Betelgeuse or Gravity)
CB
GCD

Not sure I'm allowed to vote since I didn't get every short run but this would be my 10.

edit: Had to add Betelgeuse and Gravity to the fruit choice but I think one fruit would satisfy many. Also put the list in order of personal preference. Whatever gets cut will make people sad and angry but it's very understandable. Most of the ones I love the most are already in the safe zone except for Radioactive and PBC. Even if they get cut CLS, H1N1 & Frenilla will keep me vaping happy.

Now I understand what your looking for, you get to have my chaotic list :) :

TOBACCO
1. H1N1/The Virus* [ you ....... with the Mutant...I like this one now too
10. Radioactive - haven't tried it but 2 tobaccos seem to make sense

BAKERY
2. CLS*- best had an asterisk :)
3. CB* - best had an asterisk too:)

9. Frenilla - would you be able to have this out all the time if its perm? not sure to make the cut if you don't have it avail all the time
8. Peanut Butter Cookie - I'd like to see this one, I enjoy it on the ride home. Like it at all stages so far. This one had mixed views but I think its a contender
Butterscotch Pudding - haven't tried this, but not a huge fan of butterscotch...your sales on this would be a good indicator on how to proceed


FRUIT
4. Betelgeuse* - this is a good fruit vape and well worth the asterik
5. Gravity* - haven't hit this one, but it would shock me to not make the cut
Grape Ape - I have this and don't hit it that often..doesn't really do anything for me. I don't think it makes the cut
Hummingbird - I also think this has a limited audience. I didn't try it either

CINNAMON
6. GCD* - im no Megan on this one, but with CLS and CB mixed, is the shiznit with morning coffee on the drive to work. Also a top dog..good for you on the asterik
Doodle - I think GCD is enough in the cin department and don't make the cut to leave room for another that could be in the list

HYBRIDS
7. Wakonda - I have been graced with a bottle of this and haven't hit it a whole lot yet, but what I have tried is def coffee and an interesting vape, should be able to satiate those that need a coffee vape
Raz Cup - didn't jump on this, but if its the same raspberry that you use in BG and the bottle of RR that I had gotten from you, then its a good contender
Banana Pudding - I have this but haven't tried it yet


ok ok fine I put it in order :p

1. H1N1/The Virus* [ you ....... with the Mutant...I like this one now too
2. CLS*- best had an asterisk :)
3. CB* - best had an asterisk too:)
4. Betelgeuse* - this is a good fruit vape and well worth the asterik
5. Gravity* - haven't hit this one, but it would shock me to not make the cut and it will cause its got an asterisk :)
6. GCD* - im no Megan on this one, but with CLS and CB mixed, is the shiznit with morning coffee on the drive to work. Also a top dog..good for you on the asterik
7. Wakonda - I have been graced with a bottle of this and haven't hit it a whole lot yet, but what I have tried is def coffee and an interesting vape, should be able to satiate those that need a coffee vape
8. Peanut Butter Cookie - I'd like to see this one, I enjoy it on the ride home. Like it at all stages so far. This one had mixed views but I think its a contender
9. Frenilla - would you be able to have this out all the time if its perm? not sure to make the cut if you don't have it avail all the time
10. Radioactive - haven't tried it but 2 tobaccos seem to make sense

*Denotes non-negotiable by virtue of the fact that it won a Best of ECF 2013 Award.

My "top 4" (excluding the 6 guarantees) are:
(1) Frenilla
(2) Banana Pudding
(3) Wakonda
(4) Raz Cup

Frenilla MUST make the final cut. It's just too amazing to NOT make it, and is one of my favorites of all time. I haven't been able to stop vaping Banana Pudding since the day I got it...need to order more this week. SO good. Now, for the last two, I haven't tried either Wakonda or Raz Cup but I KNOW that I would love them if I had!

Challenge Accepted and research ongoing!!!

The only flavors I have not tried are Grape Ape and Banana Pudding. I should get the Banana Pudding in tomorrow's mail.

I know for sure my #1 is The Virus and #2 is Peanut Butter Cookie (YEAH, to me it's THAT GOOD :) It is both SWEET and nutty/savory which is not really found in most of the bakery flavors. I've put this juice in head to head competition with the best out there and it came out on top!)

Wakonda moved up a notch or two this week in my book, as well - BOD for my bottle is 5/7 so it took me a while to fall. :wub:

If I am understanding right, we really only have 4 choices to make, so two of mine are pretty well set in stone.
Peanut Butter Cookie and Wakonda for sure get my vote.
I'm also thinking Frenilla has to be there.

That's going to be a tough call. It's ultimately up to Clark and Katy, of course. But I think it is very wise to gather as many opinions as possible. Smart move on their part. I'll work on my fourth choice after spending a little time with Banana Pudding.

May the best juice win! And to Clark and Katy, I am wishing you lots of luck as you make these difficult decisions and move forward.

This just makes me sad, I know we can't have ALL of them but I'm so afraid I will lose my precious Doodle. I can't start the morning without it. I think that while Doodle might have a broader appeal, the die-hard GCD'rs are much more fanatic, ( I'm lookin' at you, Megan :)) The other juice that I really believe is just extraordinary is the BSP, I spontaneously say out loud, "God that is so good" whenever I vape it. The Banana Pudding too, is fantastic but I think the BSP is a masterpiece, I would love to have that full time. So, here's my top 10

H1N1
Doodle
BSP
CLS
CB
GCD
Gravity
Betelgeuse
Frenilla
Banana Pudding

Yessss!!!! 2nd that all day long! It's on another level than the rest IMO.

It's a hybrid of the best of everything I do - Vanilla Extract, Naturally Extracted Tobacco, Custard, Dark French-Roast Coffee, Best-in-class Tobacco Absolute. The thing I adore about it is that it vapes like a cup of fresh premium coffee drinks... the first few hits are pretty *shiver, maybe I need an extra lump of sugar or an extra shot of creamer*... but by the time you get to the bottom of the first cup, you know you're all in for a whole pot. I can't put the stuff down and the feedback we've gotten from those that have tried it has been otherworldly. I struggled with coffee for almost an entire year now, after all the mis-fires, hype, anticipation, trials and errors - I finally have a coffee vape that makes me go "damn, that's the best coffee vape I've ever had" - and I've tried a few.

If you pick between BG or Gravity, make it BG. I really like Gravity, but BG just hits better for me. I also agree, Frenilla definitely needs to make the cut. It is awesome on its own, but mixes so well with other juices that it almost transforms them into other flavors. Just to versatile to cut.
And I agree, wouldn't want to have to make the final decision on this, good luck Kent.

I honestly think Frenilla is un-cuttable - the only real concern is "can I make extract fast enough." I think I can, but...

Is it too close to CLS?

Is CLS too close to CB?

Do Frenilla, CLS, and CB sufficiently differentiate themselves so that, awards or no awards, it would be apparent to someone who knew nothing about Nicoticket that "they are three very distinct vapes." They are all in the same vein is the hard part.

Well this is depressing, I was hoping to pretend this wasn’t going to happen for awhile longer.

I would like Nicoticket to make the hard choices based on vapers needs to stay off cigarettes, especially those that haven’t chosen to start vaping yet. So, to me, that’s tobaccos and diversity. I fear Nicoticket may be one of the only tickets in town (I mean no problem for me, but I think it’s a big problem for the vaping community as a whole) , so I stressed diversity …I’ll assume the tobacco reasoning is obvious, and would vote to keep all 3. So these are not my personal choices, but what I would like to see available for everyone --

1. H1N1*
2. Radioactive
3. Wakonda (I haven’t even tried this, but what coffee drinker isn’t looking for a coffee vape, coffee + tobacco = perfect)
4. CB*
5. CLS*
6. Frenilla* (this should be starred)
7. GCD* (giving up Doodle in favor of diversity)
8. Betelgeuse*/Gravity* (I would give up one in favor of diversity, I can’t pick between them though b/c personally I would pick Grape Ape)
9. Hummingbird (diversity -- completely different profile than Betelgeuse/Gravity)
10. PBC or Raz Cup/Banana Pudding (PBC is prob the best choice in terms of diversity, but personally I would pick Raz Cup, I don’t know where Ban Pud lands yet so hard to say, Currently I would keep CB in favor of Butterscotch Pudding but again I don’t know where it lands.)

** Maybe one of the CB/CLS/Frenilla should go in favor of one of the Betelgeuse/Gravity or PBC/RazCup/BPs…they are pretty similar, but…but…I want them all. I think I would vote to keep all three, b/c they're such good mixers.

*** If you know of another vendor(s) trying to stay in the game, I would love for everyone to work together, if possible, in deciding the flavors they continue with, in hopes of ending up with the most diversity of flavors possible.

Good Luck!
:(

CLS is my second favorite eliquid, just about tied for first.

I don't really like CB.

How much more different can you get?

Frenilla tastes very different from CB & CLS, but if I had to choose only one out of the three it would probably be Frenilla. I could make or mix just about anything with it. It's also amazing vaped plain.

I don't know if it would have to be available at all times even after the changes. Would that make or break it? People wait for it now, I'm sure they would wait for it. Plus, Frenilla doesn't have diketones. It should be offered for the mass of people who are concerned about it but still want to try your vanilla... only without the custard.

being I hit all 3 of these, I think I can answer this one... they do taste different, however after 6 months my cls tasted more like frenilla, I think I even mentioned that to you. Now that's the only bottle that has gotten that far for me out of the 3 hehe and it was hard holding onto it that long :)... I tend to lean for the cls over the frenilla though...cant compare CB as it tastes different than them for me, but those 2 would be for me the most similar

wait scratch that, I have some CB:WE that I still have and yup it still tastes like CB:WE yay me for willpower to milk it :)

Now, here's the quandary - despite not having won an award, I personally think Frenilla is better than CLS and CB both. We could just keep Frenilla and ditch both CLS and CB (to make room for PBC, Raz Cup). *waiting for the panic* LMAO

Just my 2c - taste is subjective.
