Absolutely easy - but we know who thee are voting for!
I would possibly be swayed by steeljan's technical knowledge tho (she takes then apart) - nowt against the others at all!

I would like the Awards to be based around people rather than product. The products change very quickly but the people who make a difference, stick around to promote the products and the social activity (vaping). The Awards should mainly be focussed on the people, groups or companies that have made a significant contribution to our experiences over the last 12 months.

I reckon that which mod and which new product are enough tips and winks to the 'objects' of our desires - what about the people/companies that make this happen?

Any more categories??? This section closes on saturday

Best Customer Service - non Vendor - i.e. for me Sara and Jay at GLV have been awesome - tho Tim may disagree!
A lot of folk seem to have been dealing with Provape, Evolv etc so would be interesting.

I do see your agenda Rusty, as many people need applaud, yourself and many other others included; but it is kinda boring...
And applauding a vendor seems to also rather overlook their commercial interest...

Voting for inanimate objects i.e. products, is more interesting as there is less kiss @ss involved.. and a turkey product award would be a lotta fun, to see how many I have sold!

[Rusty]

OK Toby, perhaps we should split the Awards 50/50 with a people section and an inanimate object section

What categories of inanimate objects should we include?

[Digicig]

Rock, Paper, Scissors?

[rubin12]

Rebuildable tank/atomiser
Disposable 'miser'

VV/VW device
Tube mod
Box mod
Low scale production mod

Tobacco e-liquid
Sweet e-liquid
Menthol e-liquid

Vaping accessory (e.g. Spikey thing etc)

Not sure how you'd differentiate bewtween the low scale production mod and the others, though. Eg, what would something like the cube be in?

[easystreet]

so have we sorted my award yet?

[Digicig]

Looking good Rusty
What format are the nominations/voting to be in perchance?

[Rusty]

The nominations and voting need to be done in 'private', so I will accept nominations via pm and the votes will be via a polls on the forum - I think.

If Prof or one of the other mods have any better suggestions for how to proceed, their input would be much appreciated

[Digicig]

If thee want/need a hand with owt Rusty - drop me a PM - if all 2K+ vote it'll be a handful!

[Rusty]

Going on the first two years responses, I may not be inundated with nominations but I hope to be

If I need help Scott, I know where you are - and thank you

[garrydibley]

I'd like to nominate all the kind folks who donated to the Children in need auction.
And those who bid.
Loads of great stuff happened last year Vapefest (Wayne) another nomination.
