The NETty awards!

[AnthonyB]

Not until Mr Mann put's in his preliminary votes! ;0

A few people have mentioned that they wish the contest would run longer. I have no problem extending it. Does anyone else? Say, another month?

I may do a preliminary tally on Monday anyway just to get the first batch of votes counted. Otherwise this could get complicated.

I may need a mod to edit my first post in the thread with the new extended closing date.

I am still reading through the thread as I have not visited this thread for a while. Are these really Mann's votes? I am having a mild aneurysm reading through his favourites. Firstly, as someone who is a highly discerning NET lover I am surprised that half of his votes are non-Nets, and the fact that Patriot is his favourite non-net liquid makes me think this is all a bit of a lark ?

If DK-Tab is his favourite well I am delighted. I actually like Aromae-juice's WTA DK-Tab and it's still one of my favourite vapes. Though I get the feeling two things will become clear - 1) this is a jestful vote and not his real vote and 2) I am just about to learn of this as I continue catching up with this Netty thread.

Dark side of the moon? Really? Isn't that the awful juice with the particles in it that tastes like methylated spirits soaked with bourbon?

This HAS to be a joke!

Yes, we are having a good-natured laugh at his expense

Get that Igo-L running right and you are going to enter a whole new world of vaping even better than before. I too run my Igo-L on my Vamo.

To get the best out of your Igo-L (and this applies with most RBAs) make sure your coils dont come too close to the posts as they will short it or you will get fluctuations in ohms resulting in hot spots and burning and put the airhole close to the coil. Also, don't overfill it or it will block the air hole and flood the coils depending on how high you sit them.

This would allow me a chance to get my IGO-L built and running on my VAMO (which should be here tomorrow ) to taste all of the juice I have gotten, plus a few more on the way to make a better vote. The down side to extending this contest is there will likely always be people like me who have just started really getting into NETs, so there will always be the "extend this" thoughts.....and Mann would have time to try and hack his votes to change them, which has already been stated as disqualifying.

 

[AnthonyB]

It just looks like a genuine entry in the sense there is no jestful tone in the post. If I was ScarF-ace I would count it as Mr Mann's vote given that it's his ONLY vote thus far and the entries close in just a few hours time for the original deadline

Surely the "Best Damn Tobacco" vote gave it away?

 

[gthompson]

This contest will have to be invalidated if Best Damn Tobacco gets any serious vote.

 

[AnthonyB]

I will laugh my ... off if you count it!

Let's be honest, there is a closet DK_Tab lover in every vaper and they just need to embrace that and not be shy about it.

Extension denied!

Please contact me regarding this once Mr. Mann puts his vote in.

I'd rather not give him another month to "steep" his list.

I agree with Dusty. Inquiring minds want to know!

Maybe we should close this thread and start another after tabulation? This would keep it smaller. I think some are a bit intimidated by our 1000+ page musings.

I am compiling now. As far as extending the voting, I don't think that is necessary, though I could see doing another run but with "best of(s)" per vendor--maybe a first, second and third per vendor.

 

[gthompson]

I always suspected Mann was a closet DK-Taber......

 

[Roots820]

Scarf - I updated my votes to add in Pirate Booty as best cigar. It's probably the only thing I've tried similar to a cigar, but it did come off like a Black and Mild to me.

Edit: Scratch that. I'm going to put Southern Gentleman as it reminded me of having a cigar with a scotch. That's what I get for not reviewing my notes thoroughly.

[CannedWolf]

Nice bro.

 

[CptBragg]

Posting here so I remember to check back later!

 

[CarbonThief]

Very cool Mr. Mann, nice list.

 

[Roots820]

Mann, how can BGB be both on the non sweet and the sweet list? Perhaps I'll find out when I receive it in a few days.

 

[Evil Speakers]

Well done and worth the wait!

 

[Evil Speakers]

Coming soon, Ahlusion CustoMann blends.

 

[Mr.Mann]

BGB is naturally sweet, thus being "unsweetned" and sweet.

 

[Dan33]

Mann, have you tried myvapejuice or it just did not make the list? Thanks.
