Product

The most important part, the weight, appearance, taste, potency and color.
I am not picky when it comes to consistency, it is always hot here 80 degrees in the winter, so shatter only shatters when its like 65 degrees out. Taste is second only to potency if it is harsh or leaves a bad taste in my mouth I will not want to smoke it. Harsh smoke or bad taste will stop me from getting enough medicine. I am looking for a strong Sativa head high. Color is not that important as long as it is not black or green.

I have a bias towards Utopic as he broke my DNM cherry and I have ordered 4 times before I started to try other vendors. Each order has been labeled as a different strain and the consistency and color have varied, from wax to crumble and light gold to dark gold. I was pleased with the quality each order. Utopic Blows every other vendor out of the water in terms of stealth. The profesionalism of his packaging is far above the rest.

Budcentral's shatter has a very smooth and flavorfull smoke and was easy to consume. His shatter easily wins for most potent and most enjoyable to smoke. His stealth is the bare minimum. Read his profile as it states he only ships certain days of the week, which led to longer shipping times than the rest.

Vamonosdabs has the lowest grade product but also the cheapest at less than $20 a gram for bulk orders you get what you pay for. The product I received was not fully purged and required me to finish it. If I was looking for a cheap product to make edibles or to give to a friend who is not as picky as me this product would work. If you are a picky smoker I would not recommend. Only vendor that marked shipped when they shipped it all the others marked it shipped the day they received the order. Also came in a silicone jar which is a plus.

HumboldtFarms The only problem I had was with the packaging. The wax paper was barely enough to contain the wax. It came overweight. It was the type of wax I could smoke all day and not get too high to function or too high I wanted to sleep.

In the future I plan to mainly review and compare vendors that have reasonably priced bulk deals. My shortlist of vendors to try are Williamshatner, Counsellor, Professor Blunt, cocktails, dabaroo. They each have had bad feedback or reviews recently but also have cheap ounces. If you have read this far and have good reason for me to not try these vendors let me know. If you know of other vendors to try on other markets than Evolution I want to hear that aswell. Vendors I want to try for some personal stash are Grandpajoe, Itewqq, elitegsm, Green MountainMan.

I will keep updating this every month with the 4 or 5 grams of bho I smoke a month until I find a vendor that is superior in quality, stealth and price.

Awesome compilation. I admire your "gotta dab em all" attitude, as I'm also sampling many different wax vendors. Just be careful before placing orders with Counselor or cocktails. I've been seeing things on here. <3 GMM+GPJ

Thanks for doing this :)

Grandpajoe has some fire, when he had the Strawberry Cough and Green Crack it was some of the dankest oil I've tasted. I just got 4gs from WilliamShatner and it was cheap because it didn't shatter, it's more of a pull n snap. Still some fire though and I love it for the price.

Even though BudCentral has bare minimum stealth, it's not too bad is it?


[1 Points] Expelz:

Great review. SWIM ordered some BHO from BudCentral, should he be worried? A lot of people around here don't like BC.

710SuperStore is REALLY good, and you should review him, top notch stealth too
