Been meaning to review all these guys but haven't gotten around to it until now. I've been using Agora exclusively and I've had purchasing experiences ranging from adequate to awesome, thank goodness I haven't had to deal with anything truly negative so far. Anyway, I'll get right down to it (communication was adequate/non-problematic unless otherwise noted as having been exceptional one way or another).
Sorry for the walls of text. All products were sourced from Agora and shipped to East Coast, USA.
RealAidoneus
- Product: 10x 140mg MDMA capsules. (Sorry for lack of pictures, the caps are red and grey and color is described below)
- Price: $105. I know this seems pricey but for me it was a great buy. This was my first darknet purchase and also the first time getting molly that wasn't some shady bullshit god-knows-what from a friend of a friend for $20 a capsule. So I was more than willing to cough up $10/cap for highly reviewed, supposedly pure molly. I wasn't disappointed.
- Weight: There were 2 extra capsules in the bag (they weren't really freebies though, see shipping). I didn't weigh out the contents until after I had taken one and had my face melted, and discovered that they were closer to 180mg. Definitely the most intense roll I've experienced, and the dose definitely contributed to that.
- Quality: Regent test goes straight to black. Capsule contents are small white/tan crystals. I'm not very experienced with molly (~6 times? with shit varying from mystery capsules to moon rocks, only orally), and this was by far the hardest I've rolled. I actually mistimed it at the concert and ended up peaking for the second half of the main act/a good amount of time after the show was over, haha. Didn't feel super jittery but I was definitely "up" for a while.
- Stealth: Fantastic. Despite the address fuckup (again, see shipping) it looked innocuous. MBB inside a padded envelope inside the main envelope.
- Shipping: Domestic USA. So I had originally intended to get this to come by Saturday for a concert Saturday night. Since it was my first time I underestimated how long it would take to coins to come through to coinbase, how long tumbling would take, etc. so I ended up only placing the order on Friday morning. I saw he offered express/overnight shipping and decided to cough up the extra $20 to try to get it Saturday (I mentioned this to him in my message). Unfortunately, I wound up fucking up my address and not including my name in it. He had marked it shipped 2 hours after submitting the order, and less than an hour after marking it shipped, he told me that since I didn't include a name he couldn't ship it express, and that it wouldn't have come by Saturday anyway even if he could without a name. Instead he shipped it priority to "current resident" and threw in 2 extra caps to make up for fact that I overpaid on the shipping. It came on Tuesday morning after ordering Friday afternoon. After we sorted it out I asked him when it would come by priority and he immediately sent the tracking number, despite saying on his profile he only will use it for disputes.
- Overall, helpful, responsive communication and fast shipping. 100% recommended if you're looking for fast, domestic, pre-capped molly.
donaldo
- Product: 7g cubensis capsules (picture wouldn't help you anyway it's just ground up shrooms in a clear capsule)
- Price: $70 ($5 discount for FE which I declined). Somebody told me this is considered expensive for mushrooms? All I know is that when I did them in the midwest they were 50 or 60 an eighth which I thought was absurd. Donaldo's prices seemed much more reasonable to me and I sprung on the opportunity to pay 70 for a quarter, especially for the convenience of not having to taste them :)
- Weight: Total weight of just the mushrooms was 7.7. I got really excited at first when I saw 19 capsules in my package because he says on his profile that each capsule contains .5g of fresh powder (not including the capsule which weighs ~.1g). This would have meant that it was super overweight, but after weighing it out it appeared each capsule was .5 total, or .4g mush in each cap. I am still extremely satisfied with this because the whole shipment was still 10% overweight.
- Quality: He recommends 3-4g for first timers, which aroused my curiosity because although I took 3.5 my first time with boomers I'm told that's a lot more than most people eat their first time. So I was wondering if the fact that he suggested 3-4g for a first timer meant they weren't great quality. It was going to be my first time tripping alone, so I ended up taking 2.2g and then redosing another .4 like 45 minutes after taking the first dose like a fucking idiot. I had also planned on taking a point of molly after peaking, which I didn't end up needing. The peak itself was very intense, lasted about 2.5 hours and I experienced a good amount of nausea, especially in the first hour of the peak that made things somewhat uncomfortable. Despite this, I had the perfect setup and the trip was beautiful and positive and almost refreshing. It was my first time tripping since I had a bad acid trip on way too high of a dose this summer, so having it go well and not be influenced by outside forces just made my mind sort of "exhale" and gave me this feeling of settling into my own skin and being "at home" in my mind. During the peak I felt very dissociated as well, I think if I had done a hit of nitrous during the peak I would have gone somewhere else for sure. There weren't a huge amount of OEVs, especially compared to the shit I was seeing after taking an eighth last year, but that was probably dose related. After the peak I felt amazing, I smoked a bowl and drank some beer and basked in the afterglow. I felt so uplifted and light I couldn't help but dance around a little after realizing I could finally get my ass off the bed without feeling like vomiting. I would honestly take 3g or a little more next time, but this was the perfect dose for me to get back into the groove of tripping after such a negative experience last time.
- Stealth: Un-fucking-real. This was the first package that I got from the darknet that I was completely confident would not arouse suspicion at all even if it was opened all the way. I guess this has something to do with the fact that it's just capsules filled with dusty looking shit and not like straight up nugs of weed, for example, but the stealth is honestly just genius. Clever and not over the top.
- Shipping: Free shipping. Ordered Thursday, he marked it shipped 24 hours later, arrived on Monday.
- Overall: Great option for domestic mushrooms especially if you don't fuck with shoving a ton of whole fungus down your throat.
WeedConnect
- Product: 2 strain mix and match quarter--I chose blue dream and hindu kush. hindu kush1 hindu kush2 sorry for the bluriness and lack of blue dream pic :( but honestly it looked pretty similar in trim quality and crystallization so you get the idea.
- Price: $55 ($5 FE discount which I declined).
- Weight: 7.2g, slightly overweight.
- Quality: Honestly I was apprehensive when I opened the package because the bag appeal wasn't incredible. Don't get me wrong, it looks pretty good, cured well, looks like solid outdoor, but trim is just decent and there weren't a huge amount of crystals visible. With that said...when I smoked it I was pleasantly surprised. Both strains are some low key fire and at 55/quarter the price is right. The blue dream had me on my ass at first then gave way to a great cerebral buzz, the hindu kush is great nighttime smoke. Solid indica. Unfortunately I finished the blue dream before I remembered to take a pic, HK pic is above. I will also say that both strains were super fucking kiefy, not sure if this has to do with the level of dryness/cure but I thought my grinder was at the end of its life because its a year and a half old and not brand name and had stopped collecting kief, and when I had finished the eighth of Blue Dream a friend opened my grinder and made a comment about the kief, lo and behold there was like a half inch layer at the bottom that was definitely not there a couple weeks ago.
- Stealth: This was my first bud purchase from the darknet so I wasn't sure what to compare it to, it struck me as completely adequate when I first got it. Now having done it a couple times I realize his packaging is pretty standard, 2x vac, heat sealed MBB inside envelope inside flat rate envelope. I mean it's weed, if somebody were to open it you'd be fucked regardless but there was no smell at all until the final vac layer so I was very satisfied by it.
- Shipping: Ordered Thursday, arrived Wednesday. I guess this is pretty good for the holiday season, it took him less than 24 hours to mark it shipped but then it took a bit to get here. I'm certainly not going to raise a stink about 4 business days, but I have seen a lot of speculation recently about a potential exit scam after he didn't log into Agora for 5 days. Yesterday he posted an update saying his friend had died and had to go out of town suddenly. It didn't effect me so I can't count it against him in terms of shipping, but it's delaying his communication a lot as he catches up on orders and he hasn't responded to my requests for info on his other strains. Just something to be aware of when ordering from him.
- Overall: Not the prettiest shit you'll ever smoke but good kush for a great price, good shipping speed. Definitely worth buying a zip ($180?!?!) if you dish some out to friends to smoke for free or whatever. Beware him going AWOL.
StrattonOakmont
- Product: 4g Platinum Girl Scout Cookies pic1 pic2
- Price: $60. Not too bad considering how good this weed is, an eighth this fire where I live would be $60 easily. Plat. GSC also seems to be one of the better regarded/more famous strains so I guess that's part of the pricing as well.
- Weight: 4.65g. He advertises a small FE weight bonus, which I mentioned to him in a message...but he marked it shipped before I had the chance to FE, then I forgot about it, so I think I accidentally ripped him off for .5. (The bag was labeled 4.5g) Sorry Stratton and thanks!
- Quality: Really nice looking nugs, no shake. Not a perfect trim but the bag appeal is there for sure. Heavy indica that had me flat on my ass, can't smoke this shit during the day haha. Definitely one of the best indicas I've smoked and would probably o
- Stealth: Par for the course weed stealth. 2x vac, heat sealed MBB, envelope inside small box. I will say it was more professionally done than WeedConnect in that his vacuum bags were actually an appropriate size for the contents, as opposed to WeedConnect's vacuuming which involved much bigger bags than were necessary for the product. Not a huge deal but I definitely appreciated the presentation.
- Shipping: A note on his profile said he bouncing for the holidays on Monday, so I ordered late Sunday night, hoping he would get to it at the last second. Turns out he won't hunt for your PGP key so don't sign your messages with your own key when you encrypt them. He marked the order shipped late Monday night. Package came Wednesday morning. I feel like that's amazing, especially considering it came from the west coast the day before Christmas.
- Overall: Bud is fire, price is reasonable for the quality and weight that you get, shipping is fast as fuck. Definitely would order again if I needed some top shelf for a treat.
So yeah, that's about it. Sorry about the length, if anybody has questions feel free to ask.
