[Vendor Review] KobariKush [Hansa] 1/4oz each Blue Dream Honey Dabs, Sour Diesel Honey Dabs, Pineapple Express Honey Shatter (x-post r/DankNation)

Hello and welcome to the first part of my new review series focusing on Hansa's cannabis concentrates vendors. Today I am reviewing KobariKush and their "honey dabs" and "honey shatter." At some point in the next few days, if possible, I will post another review. You can find my old reviews from 2014 here, as well as an explanation of my review template.

Still accepting tips via the same bitcoin address found in my old reviews.


When I posted my last review series, I outlined a modified review template that I felt presented the information buyers need in a more balanced and responsible fashion than the default template typically used in this sub. As far as I know, nobody else has ever used my template, but nobody complained about it either, so I will continue to use it as I stand by my assessment that it reflects the information more accurately.

Rather than copy/paste the entire explanation here, I have included only the essential changes below. If you are interested in the reasoning behind these changes you can follow the link at the top of this post to my first review which contains the full explanation.


Stealth, Quality, Weight, Price Value = 20 pts each

Communication, Transaction, Shipping Time, Aesthetics = 5 pts each

KobariKush is a new Hansa vendor offering various cannabis products. They claim to have been "in the top 30 of another VERY POPULAR market." One always wonders with these people why they don't just use the same name as before but I suppose that's beside the point.

I noticed right away that KobariKush seems very preoccupied with cultivating a professional appearance. They've got HD photos with custom graphics on every listing. They've got four different strains, pre-rolls, two different qualities of shake. They've got pre-loaded TAILS flash drives (more sketchy than slick IMO; I would never insert a random flash drive into one of my PCs, let alone boot it up and use it to handle bitcoin). They've even got discount codes which really caught my attention because it's pretty unusual. Their communication is fantastic - very quick replies to all my messages and I was able to get a custom order set up and paid for that same day.

My order was placed 3/24 (Thurs) and arrived 3/28 (Mon). Printed shipping label (so far so good), visual barrier but no decoy (-2), vac-sealed with 2 layers but no MBB (-2). Which leaves "Stealth" at a solid 16/20 (8/10), still much better than most new vendors.

Unfortunately, the product was heavily contaminated with butane, plant matter and who knows what else. I knew it was some tane soup before I even got the paper unwrapped just from how squishy it was. It sparked and popped violently under lighter flame and I was able to light a pool of it on fire in my banger nail, gifv below. Loud sizzle on the nail and some mild throat irritation following exhale. Nasty green stuff. So that's a 1/20 on "Quality." I say 1 rather than 0 because I'm pretty sure it was at least made from actual weed and not sand like from the beach. Wax paper by the way, not parchment paper, so even if the product wasn't tane soup, I still wouldn't have been able to collect all of it from the paper. So that's 15/20 on "Weight" which I assume would've been fine otherwise although I didn't bother to check for obvious reasons.

I suppose considering how cheap it was, the logical answer would be to winterize it and flip the result for profit, and in that sense I guess this listing was kind of a steal. For this reason I will leave "Price Value" at 20/20. But until I get around to doing all that, this disgusting sticky mess is just going to sit on my shelf where I look at it every once in a while and remember how badly contaminated it is, then probably eventually just give it away because it's not even worth the trouble.

I messaged KobariKush to express my disappointment and request a full refund, and remarkably, I got what I asked for and then some. They apologized, cancelled/refunded my order, and even went as far as to pull ALL of their concentrates listings until they can guarantee quality assurance for their buyers. Guys, I have to say I was EXTREMELY impressed by this decision. That's exactly the kind of happy ending you want to see in a situation like this.

Vendors, take note - if there's anything wrong with your product that could make it harmful to your buyers, take the listings down. Protect your buyers first. The community will notice and you will earn a reputation worth having.

TL;DR: KobariKush is a solid vendor - stealth, speed, comms, everything almost perfect except the BHO itself, and when I let them know that there was a problem, they reacted quickly and professionally to protect their buyers. No concentrates listings on offer right now but if you need weed or pre-rolls, give KobariKush a try, and be sure to look for concentrates listings in the future.

On one hand it's great that they pulled their listings to hopefully fix the problem. But do you really think that they didn't know they were selling literal shit beforehand?


[8 Points] BlueberryJonez:

They prob litterly blasted into a water bath scooped and shiped..low quality starting material with no purge equals what you got.. they need to finish making the product before shipping that's just retarded of them

"Shatter". Good review.


[1 Points] huzibizi:

that looks disgusting


[1 Points] smokecraft:

Utterly professional. I wish more vendors had the cajones to admit when they've made a mistake. Refund was issued within an hour. Thanks and will be looking for an improved product in the future (price can't be beat).

The first pic. Dear god it looks like the inside of a dirty baby diaper. And one of those was advertised as shatter? That's delusional
