Level 1180 is practically impossible to pass without boosters and at the time of writing I have passed using hand and hammer boosters. Most of the videos on Youtube are made using a lot of boosters!
Here are a few tips from members of our Candy Crush Saga All Help group who have passed, that may help you if you are determined to get by it.
So how do you pass level 1180???
If you get as many of the stripe combos as you can first you won't explode the whole board and lose all the mystery candies. The licorice can actually be helpful as it will block the stripes and prevent them from doing too much damage. Try not to switch 3 mystery candies together, if they all turn into stripes they will detonate and ruin the board. Match 2 mystery candies and a normal one and with luck you may get 2 stripes which you can switch together. Before you switch any stripe combo look first to see where it will blast. Wait until there is licorice to block them from blowing up too many colour bombs if you can. When you can't get any more stripe combos look at the colour bomb combos and choose one which doesn't have a lot of that colour on the board. Sometimes there are only 2 or three of the stripe colour and this will be a good combo to use as it shouldn't do too much damage to the board.
Once all the mystery candies are gone you will have to make the stripes and colour bombs yourself, but if you have been lucky and careful you may only have a few left to make.
Make sure you check the whole board before every move and try to anticipate where the candies will stop on the conveyors.
