Where's the unlike button like the other place???
Just kidding, but whatever gets cut will leave many unhappy...
And if you cut GCD you will have to look at me doing this 24/7 outside your windows:
Ya, that one sure came around for me! But more than any other, I need that one steeped a bit. It could easily have been bumped to #3 by CLS, but since I know CLS will make the cut... Please oh please let Wakonda make the cut!!!

The only thing that I care about is that PBC gets a spot. Nothing else compares for me. Obviously I want BP to stay as well, because they mix so well to me.
I haven't tried Raz Cup or Wakonda though, so I threw up Raz instead of Wakonda, assuming I'd like it better.

Exactly. I'm sure you have enough data now to have a pretty good idea of most. It will be those last couple or 3 that will be tougher.

Done, and reorganized.
I'd say the Best of Winners are probably non-negotiable, but even those might be negotiable if enough people made a compelling argument.
I know you're right - but at least we can get feedback and make the best decision possible. It's inevitable, there's going to be casualties.
If GCD and PBC are in there I'll be okay. They are my two very favorites. Every time I watch the level go down in my last bottle of PBC I get a little anxious. You're making me very nervous. Sometimes I wish I had never stumbled across ECF. I was rolling along just fine with my eCabs and 3 flavors.

Be mine will hopefully make the list, if not we need a huge release so that I can stock up.
Have been dying to try Wakonda. So when I get that chance this list could change.

Wakonda is almost a shoe-in with absolutely no feedback - yes, that good.
That clarifies things. We're basically down to the "Final Four". Be prepared for a lot of waffling in one winded post.
Speaking from a business perspective, I'd go with Frenilla, Raz Cup, Wakonda, and Banana Pudding. The reason I'd choose those is they are the most unique liquids that have a broad appeal. I think Hummingbird is too niche (although I will miss it greatly). I think there are too many grape flavors floating out there to substantially draw in new business. Then again, I think it's good to have two tobacco's in your arsenal, which would make me thing Radioactive would stay and perhaps Wakonda would be cut.
I would make an argument for Coolcumber Mint. I realize that the new shiny coat of just receiving it might wear off, but I think you should include something in the mint/menthol line. If a menthol smoker tries a juice, they are going to gravitate towards menthol type juices initially which introduces them to your line. I've noticed people become very brand loyal after they find that first love (hence why all of us nuts are here giving out input)
I would also make an argument against authority and say either BG or Gravity might not make my cut. Now before anyone shows up at my house with pitchforks and torches, my order history is littered with BG and Gravity orders. That being said, they are similar in nature enough to where I could have one or the other and be completely satisfied. I know they've won awards in the past, but at the same token look how closely that was voted just between those two. I'm sure to most people who like BG, they like Gravity and vice versa. In other words, if you cut one, people would substitute with the other. Then again, it's good to have two fruits in your lineup as well.
ARG...Kent, I'm glad I'm not in your shoes. I would be sweating this decision hourly.
Then again, the lineup that I picked seems to heavily focus on stuff that has somewhat bakery notes. My girlfriend can't stand bakery...anything bakery...you name it, she gets the gross face when she tries it. So I'm trying to say this is a business standpoint view, but I might be bringing personal bias in it.
Does any of this even make any sense? Probably not, so I'm going to go load up my dripper with Raz Cup 3 days early and let you know my top 10.

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

I've got June 11th flagged in my calendar just for Wakonda!
Unless you want to sneak some out to me early...
So GCD is safe
Considering in the last two weeks I have ordered 20 50 mls he knows I'm not kidding...
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.
