FEATURE AWARD CATEGORIES FOR JUICE AWARDS: Outdoing Mother Nature may not be possible, but sometimes we come close. Putting an individual spin on familiar tastes is difficult for the best of us, and this award recognises those who defy those odds. A good dessert has a special place in all our hearts; many of our favourites bring back childhood memories. The vape company that can translate this fondness to their e-liquids walks away with the recognition they deserve. Menthol and mint flavours are always popular and when these are mixed well it can create a really refreshing and memorable vape. Vaping’s unparalleled ability to take (and keep) former smokers off cigarettes has been one of its defining triumphs. A good tobacco taste can really help smokers transition to vaping and ensure they never go back. Teas and coffees are among the oldest drinks in the world, covering countless cultures and mixed in countless ways. They’re an art form, and a good tea/coffee e-liquid is a special achievement. Many of us love a good cocktail from time to time and the explosion of flavours found in our favourite cocktails translate very well to the vaping arena. This is always a hard-fought category. This one goes to the liquid that recreates that sweet sugar rush that perks you up first thing in the morning but unlike your daily breakfast these can be enjoyed at any time of the day. The agony of choice! We’ve all got our share of favourite sweets and chocolates in our lives; the vape company that can somehow unite us on the best sweet/chocolate liquid deserves all the praise they can get. BEST SWEET/ CHOCOLATE HARDWARE AWARDS: Mech mods do without circuit boards and many of the bells and whistles found on many regular devices and are judged on aesthetics, ease of use and inventive design. 64 ISSUE 12 VAPOUROUND MAGAZINE BEST REGULAR MOD What would all our hard work on liquids and flavours be without a top-notch delivery system? This goes to the best regulated mod – which includes an integrated circuit, protecting the battery and device from overheating and will be judged on features, function and size.
