[clnire]

All favorite NET vendors have been added. That includes love coffee and chanelvapes. I did add it later and asked for those who already voted to just post their favorite

 

[Clark46227]

This is a great resource for us relatively new NET fans to discover vapes people feel passionate about and go explore some of these amazing e-liquids. But I have a question:

Why is there a category for "Best Synthetic/non-NET tobacco"???

Seems kinda like having a category for "Best old wannabe who tells great stories at the local bar" in a "Best running back in NFL history" poll. Just seems irrelevant.

Not trying to stir anything up, just don't understand the logic.

P.S. Barry Sanders is the best running back in NFL history.

 

[Gauntlgrym]

can we just stay on topic and take the nonsense elsewhere. REALLY

we are trying to stay on topic, we are trying to vote!
however, myself and many others are trying to vote for a NET liquid, that the NET forums refer to as a NET liquid, but doesn't seem count as a NET for this....

wanting your vote to count, in a voting poll....... is about as on topic as you can get.

 

[dhock50]

I am totally confused and I probably wouldn't know exactly what is considered a true net and what is not, so I guess I just don't vote.

It would be helpful to include a hybrid category for juices made with TA. I'm sure we could debate the definition of NET to death as was already done in the NET part deux thread (partly seen HERE) or in Mr. Mann's Tobacco Absolute (the NET redheaded stepchild) thread. This is a vote by the people so IMO there should be some consensus as to what defines a NET. For me a NET is any juice who's ingredients were soaked in tobacco leaves to absorb the natural tobacco flavors regardless of whether or not additional ingredients were included to alter the flavor profile.

But what do I know? Taste is subjective. I love me some NT Wakonda and MOV Sunday Morning for different reasons. We shouldn't lose sight that this *should be* a FUN activity to not only support our favorite vendor's flavors but also introduce the inexperienced and newer NETizens to juices they might not have otherwise come across if not for this thread. The second netty awards is how I picked MY first NETs!

It would also be helpful for an experienced NET vaper to compile a not-so-exhaustive list of examples for each category (Varietals, English/Latakia Blend, Turkish/Oriental). I know what I like (so far) but I couldn't tell you if it falls into a straight pipe, cigar, or another category. So I'm left to go by a vendor's (sometimes obscure) description rather than my taste buds for categorization. In the meantime I'll wait for some of the old dogs to put up their votes and one of my faves might fall in place.

Thank you clnire for volunteering to run this vote, your efforts are MUCH appreciated!

Thats how I figured out where to put MOV's Pendragon and Apache. I know I like 'em but did not know where to put them

 

[B2L]

I'm not typically a tobacco vaper, most of them give me a headache, but there is one that is in my all time favorites.

After reading through here I'm not sure if it's considered a NET, or if so what category it would be in, but Nicotickets ACB is a fantastic, complex vape.

Does that count?

 

[Str8vision]

OK, I am going to be the bad guy (gal) and this will not make me very popular, but in respect for Scarf-Ace, who originated these awards, she stated in her definition of a NET (the link to her original thread is in the first post in this thread, where I reference to check it for the definition of a NET)

"It does not mean liquids that get most of their tobacco flavor from tobacco absolute, tobacco extract, or synthetic tobacco flavoring." (highlights mine)

So, here is where I am going to get bashed, hated, slammed and just plain made the bad guy (or gal in this case) but my flame suit is on . Nicoticket juices are based on tobacco absolute, which Scarfy specifically disqualifies. So sorry folks, I should have done more research early on and I guess i should have stated it specifically in my first post. If I can still edit it, I will. But in the interest of true NETs, which is what these awards are for, tobacco absolute juice will not be counted in the final results.

Sorry...

No hard feelings here but please remove my vote/ballot from the poll, several of my picks are TA based. I firmly disagree with the notion TA, or TE aren't "Naturally extracted tobacco", products. I'm an avid tobacco extractor and have made them all....good stuff. You might also want to remove HHV's product line from consideration as they use Supercritical CO2 extraction that produces a super concentrated essential oil which certainly isn't in the "simple soak" PG or VG extraction realm (but still quite tasty!).

There are definitely more experienced NET vapers than me, but my understanding is that a an English/Latakia blend is a blend that uses a significant amount of Latakia. Likewise an Oriental blend is a blend that uses a significany amount of Turkish tobacco. Single varietal as the name suggests is not a blend of different tobaccos but is made with onle a single variety of tobacco, be it Turkish, perique, Virginia or whatever.

Welp so much for this thread's legitimacy...

 

[Jerms]

Clnire carried over my rules from last year so I'd like to give my opinions on some issues that have been brought up. This is just the stance I would have explained last year if this came up, but I defer and support all decisions Clnire makes as this year's host. I won't reply to, defend, or explain further my comments here to avoid going off-topic further.

What exactly is a NET is debatable. I made rule #5 (refer to first post in this thread) because this isn't the place to debate it. I wanted people to be allowed to use their best judgment with votes and not have to explain them. My views for what it's worth (no more or less than anyone else's) :

1. Do I think Nicoticket tobaccos are NETs? Absolutely, even the Natural Tobacco thread lists them as a NET vendor.

2. Can someone who's only vaped one vendor's NETs vote here? Definitely.

3. I'm surprised a NET vendor found it appropriate to vote for their product here. I wouldn't count their ballot.

4. I'm disappointed that a NET vendor would use marketing through mass email to get votes. I would honestly consider disqualifying them from placing in the results. I understand there's probably good arguments why disqualification would be unfair.

Since we're no longer recognizing Ahlusion's tobaccos as NETs, I guess I don't really vape NETs anymore, so I'll just vote in the categories that apply to me. Though I do still have some extracts from Bill and John that I mix up and vape occasionally, I no longer buy and vape commercially available macerated tobaccos, which should probably be the definition that's used here. If TA counted as NET, I'd vote for The Plume Room's Smooth & Mild, but it doesn't make the top three in the artibacco list. Neither does Sahara Blend, which I also think is a superior liquid to any NET Turkish product.

I don't get why Nicoticket would be considered a NET. Are they extracting tobacco?

Yes, cold maceration I believe. TA is also used as an additive (which is actually fairly common with NET vendors).

Like Like LIKE LIKE disqualifying seems only fair at this point.

Thank you Jerms. Very well said. For everyone's information, I am adding the Nicoticket votes to my spreadsheet. How I will tally the results I am not sure. I may post 2 results, and leave people to take it as they will. I am just an innocent NET lover who got "volunteered" to do this poll. I accepted because I feel it does a good service to everyone looking into NETs. My intention was/is not to leave anyone, vendor or net vaper, out of the poll. And I certainly did NOT expect the drama that has ensued.

That said, lets please continue with the voting. If Nicoticket is your favorite, post it. I will add it. And it will be counted. How will I tally the results? I am not sure yet. I have a few weeks to see how things go. If more drama continues, this whole poll will stop with no results posted.

I want to thank everyone who has voted so far, regardless. Please continue to vote.
