We gave the electronic cigarette community an opportunity to choose who and what was the best of 2013… and we’ve heard your voice this year loud and clear. Here are the results for Guide To Vaping’s Best of 2013 – Vape Vendors and Community.

I would like to thank MadVapes.com for being our sponsor for this year’s event. Because of MadVapes, we were able to provide a beautifully designed award that will be sent to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners for the Overall – Best of 2013 category.

Vendors, please contact me if you’re interested in participating in next years event. I’m hoping to step things up throughout the year as well and hold large giveaways. Once you pick up your awards, I ask that you please link back to this page from the award. Thank you!

This year’s “Best of” event went a little south. There were many people complaining about the polls not working properly, which is my fault and I apologize for it (new and faster server going up at the beginning of the new year). Many of you also complained about who and what companies were in the top 5 polls. This is where the community comes into play… when I gave you the opportunity to share the entries phase of this event with the rest of the community, many of you ignored me. Then, once I tallied up the top 5 to be on the live polls, you then came and seen what the polls looked like and you were in disappointment because your favorite person or vendor wasn’t there or in the lead.

Understand this. I do not control what happens with these polls and my sharing ability with the community can only reach so far. Even if you do not ever visit Guide To Vaping, nor care about the information I write, please follow this blog on one of the many social networks so you’ll be aware for next years event. Even though you might not think it, but Guide To Vaping is visited by MANY new vapers each day and these polls affect who they initially purchase from, what reviewer they watch or what product they use. We want to guide them in the right direction… so your vote and your reach within the community are important.

To address the issue about Vapor Joe and Fast Tech: I must admit, Vapor Joe definitely has a following and he definitely made an impact on the polls this year, but I promise you, his following is only a grain of the whole community. Don’t come down on Vapor Joe and use him as an excuse for you not sharing with the community to vote. In addition, Vapor Joe didn’t hold a gun to these peoples head and make them vote for Fast Tech… they control the polls and they voted for Fast Tech themselves.

This year’s Best of event may have turned you off from liking or visiting Guide To Vaping, and it could have possibly brought you here and you enjoy what I’ve built. Whatever the feeling is, know that I’ve done my part in this community. I’ve received a lot of slack about the ads on this website. These ads help support my family, and in return I’m able to stay home and continuously produce information about electronic cigarettes that thousands of people per day read. Keep our community a positive one and stop being negative. We already have enough to deal with, and instead we want to take our frustrations out on each other? – This isn’t the community we should be… we should be encouraging others to do better, just as we encourage others to switch from tobacco cigarettes to electronic cigarettes. As a blog, I have competition, like Steve Vape, Ecig Advanced, Vapor Joes and others, but I used this event to praise them and to let them know they’re the best within this community – to give them credit for working so hard all year… instead of worrying about myself. People, all I’m saying is, be kind and encourage others to be great. I want people in this community I can call friends, not people who bash or hate me. That is all.

Thank you all for participating in Guide To Vaping’s Best of 2013 and Congrats to those who won.
