SmokingHippoMeds is a Cali-based BHO-manufacturing collective. I am very impressed with this vendor's product. Now before you run off to transfer funds, SHM's launch sale has concluded and he is on vacation (no listings), so look for him in a couple weeks. Initially had an issue importing the PGP key on Tails 1.1. Tested it on Tails 1.1.1 today, still not working. Probably some sort of compatibility bug between BCPG and GnuPG (?) but it worked on GPA (GPG4Win).

First, the stealth. I'm going to reiterate a point from my first review: stealth is objectively the most important quality of a DNM transaction because it means the difference between receiving your order or a seizure notice. So I hope no one thinks I'm being too harsh, but I did notice a few problems again this time. The label was printed, MBB used properly, and a decent exterior decoy was in place, so obviously that's all fine, but there was no interior decoy (-1), visual barrier was just bubble wrap (MBB was visible when packaging was opened) (-4) and also the entire perimeter of the packaging was covered in clear tape (-3). Tape should not be used to completely enclose the edges of the packaging; if you use MBB, interior and exterior decoy, etc, then there's no reason to tape it this way. If LE wants to open it, they will. The tape will not discourage them. It will just make them more suspicious and possibly add to their probable cause argument.

All that aside, this product is TOP FUCKING SHELF. Gorgeous OG Kush crumble. This is some of the best BHO I've ever had. Incredible flavor. Weighed in at just over 1g. Clean, sexy dabs. Definitely ordering again. This was promo pricing, about $40/1g.

Lastly I should mention that there was a delay in processing/shipping, likely due to the holiday weekend, but still long enough that it seems worth mentioning. Shipped at 3 days, arrived at 8. While I don't think delays like this should necessarily be expected from this vendor (based on the feedback I've seen), consider exercising caution if you are trying to adhere to a strict schedule. With that said, I was informed of the delay in processing by a message posted to SHM's profile rather than a private message. I'm not going to say this is shitty communication, but it's not ideal either.

TL;DR: Top-shelf, dispensary-grade honeycomb BHO. Decent stealth, printed label, MBB, but visual barrier was not a barrier to my vision. Vendor currently on vacation.

Edit: I have been reading your comments and it appears some of you are confused about certain qualities of honeycomb BHO. Honeycomb is produced by vacuum-purging shatter at low temps for long periods of time. If anything it is overpurged BHO. This particular batch was golden-brown in color. The second photo that I posted is most accurate in terms of color. If you Google Image search "OG Kush Honeycomb" you will see the same shit. From the vendor's own profile:

"ALL BHO IS PURGED IN A VACUUM CHAMBER UNTILL THE PURITY IS BELOW 300ppm (for those not in the know this simply says that all the n-Butane and heavy metals are sufficiently extracted)."

No, I am not retarded, and this isn't a bad color. Honeycomb is different from shatter. Get your shit together, r/DNM.

I wonder home much longer that 40/g promotion will go on for and how much it'll be when its over. Looks great.


[1 Points] iamjustsomejerk:

daaaamn... that second pic looks like somebody took a q-tip and scraped a bunch of earwax out of their ears :P


[-1 Points] STEZN:

Bad color. Hope its fully purged. Id bet this is a 2nd or 3rd run by the color. Or they made it with very subpar product. 40g is a ripoff for that
