Congrats to all the you guys who made the list!! I think this deserves some love and kudos.
As a personal note, I just want to say it's been a pleasure interacting with everyone in this sub. DIY_eJuice specifically, and the mixing community in general has quickly become my home base on the internet. I've really never been part of a more giving, supportive, dedicated and often hilarious group of people. Can't wait to see how we evolve in the coming years.

I was really surprised to end up on the honorable mentions. Definitely made my day, and I'm sure many others. A big congrats to everyone involved.
I wasn't surprised...to see you, that is. Congrats everybody!
And you as well! Great work sir
honestly i'm not too surprised by any of the names mentioned, honorable or placed. you all do great work and i'm sure i'm not just speaking for myself when i say we all appreciate the work you and /u/ID10-T, /u/Philosaphucker, /u/wh1skeyk1ng /u/ConcreteRiver, /u/skiddlzninja
thanks to you bastards i'm sure the packers at NR, BCF, and ECX have said on more than one occasion "what? this guy again?"
There are many people on here who don't post much, just mix recipes. My top 3 recipes mixed so far all belong to you Mr. krokus. Whole different world!
Some of you mixers don't realize how popular/helpful/inspirational you really are. Nothing goes unnoticed, but sometimes they don't get recognition. Great fucking year for mixing, and I look forward to more people developing recipes in the unique way Hokus does :)
My nomination for most motivating mixer message!
I've found so many ADVs from unknown mixers, most of which don't post here so I can't nominate them, but, they keep me smoke-free.
Amazing mixers one and all. I thank you for your passion!
Easily one of the most interesting and fun mixers to watch. 2017 is gonna be your bitch.
I was so fucking glad to see your name make the list. You have been a huge name this year and I was happy to see it go noticed. Cheers.
Congratulations to everyone nominated, actually! Seeing your real names got me fucked up, so I didn't immediately realize how many of you were responsible for my ADV faves.
Thank ya'all for making this sub the fucking goldmine of tasty that it is! I literally (and I know how overused that word is, but I mean it, like, literally!) could not have stayed smoke-free without you.
I don't know what it is; I could smoke the same tobacco mix I chose forever, and actually got salty when my cut was held up in customs, but, to know that I could mix something up extraordinary thanks to you guys? My saving grace.
Thanks for saving my life! Again, LITERALLY! I know that word is over-used, but, in this case, I mean it 100%.
I've watched your work this year fairly closely since Glaistig. I haven't always had the chance to mix up what you're putting out but it's all solid, well regarded work either way. Looking forward to seeing your name pop up with some new crazy weird ideas.
Runt, you're on track to conquer 2017. Dutchie won my private Recipe of the Year 2016 contest! Can't wait to see what's next.... ;)
Congrats, /u/Vurve! I cannot think of a single one of your recipes that I haven't loved, and if your Vanilla Almond Milk isn't nominated for recipe of the year, I will risk being banned from /r/DIY_eJuice (too many omnomnoms!) by nominating it myself!
That recipe is delicate perfection!
Thank you all for your kind words and support. It's really made my day. I know I don't always make enough time to pitch in to the sub as much as I'd like this year, it's been one hell of a rollercoaster. But keep an eye out for some exciting work this year, the plan is to definitely step up my presence a great deal in the coming year.
