Top of the Top, Best of the Best Local Juice 2016 - RESULT

[Andre]

And the joint winners, with 123 votes each, are:

XXX by Vapour Mountain

and

SCREAM by Hazeworks​

Congratulations to @MarkDBN and @Oupa.

I trust this will add value for you. The same is wished for all whose juices were nominated or placed in the various categories.

The hope is that this result and the results of the categories (attached below for a single source of reference) will be of use to all our members.

Clearly, since some time yesterday, some very effective campaigning took place. As was also clear from the standings at that stage, it did not skew the result. Steps shall be taken to prevent any possible skewing for future polls.

Thank you to all members who participated. See you again in 2017.

This is amazing!

A BIG congrats to @MarkDBN and @Oupa for Scream and XXX.
Well done guys! Doing the local juice scene proud.

And well done to all the winners in each category as well as those that placed 2nd and 3rd - not to forget all the other juices, without which there would be no such competition!

This is a sign that the local juice industry is alive and well.
I am looking very forward to the year ahead

Thanks @Andre for all the effort you have put into this. It is greatly appreciated!

 

[Oupa]

Thank you @Andre for coordinating the polls and thanks to all our supporters and customers for the votes! Likewise @MarkDBN ... awesome to share the top spot with you guys!

 

[daniel craig]

Congratulations @MarkDBN and @Oupa I think the results couldn't be more accurate since both juices are excellent and are from totally different categories so it was rather hard making a choice between the 2.

 

[Rob Fisher]

Congrats to @Oupa and @MarkDBN XX and Scream both of which are world class juices and both in my arsenal of ADV's after such a hard fought battle it actually awesome that they tied for first place!

And to @Andre my vaping Guru who handled the project... really good job and having someone like you with credibility handling it makes it that much more special and real!

OK I'm gushing a bit now but... this is EPIC! Really happy to you good peeps that have worked so hard and given us many outstanding juices!

@Andre , thanks for all your hard work in putting this together. It was definitely run like a well-oiled machine.

Brilliant result I think, both well deserved! I'm sitting here reading this with my VTC mini and Melo 2 tank filled with XXX and my Rolo and Crown tank filled with Scream and loving them both!

Congrats @Oupa and @MarkDBN!!!

 

[mildly.inked]

Apologies for not including this in my original post @Andre, a very big thanks to you for running this, it was really well managed/put together/presented/etc. and I imagine it also took a fair bit of your time, not something I would want to (could?) do!

 

[Paulie]

I also want to add a huge Thanks to @Andre and the Forum team and members for making this the most fun competition we have had to date!

Some time has passed since the final results of the 2016 ECIGSSA Juice Awards

I looked back at this thread and thought again - what a wonderful talented group of juicemakers we have right here in SA.

I am going to try make it my mission over the coming months to at least try every one of the juices that placed highly in these awards. I probably wont be able to get through them all but I will try.

Loaded right now in Reo Black is ELP - Special Reserve

Anyhow, just a message to all the newer vapers on the forum who are still searching for good juices. The list on the first post of this thread is a good starting point
