I decided to nut up and give this guy a shot, so I'll have several updates, probably over the course of the next month or so - "
FEELZ" report, did I get an infection and die?, bloodwork, etc. If I'm not broke, I'll look into sending some samples off for testing. Don't hold me to that last one though, I have a crippling ladyboy hooker addiction.
Here's my initial impression:
@NeoAnabolics came here starting off with good testing and an above average intro, nothing crazy, but up to MESO standards. Right away, a few members pointed out some things that should still probably be addressed, such as dosing with orals, sanitation, proper lab equipment/PPE, etc. I've been here a while and figured I should be the guinea pig for everyone, so take that for what it's worth. If anyone here knows me, they'd know my first ever UGL source was from MESO, and it didn't end up very pretty for them (
spoiler: I basically ruined them for being dogshit and they no longer source here). Once more on the last point, I don't shill for anyone, ever. That being said, if Neo ends up being complete trash, well...it's safe to say he won't be doing much business here in the future.
The good:
- Shipping was fairly fast
- Vials/stoppers look high(
ish) quality
- Packaging was probably some of the best I've ever seen
- All products ordered passed the smell test/blacklight test/flashlight test
The bad:
- The vials are not filled evenly. C'mon man
What should be improved on/nitpicking:
- See above
- Better selection
- Faster response time
- BA/BB ratio listed on vial
- Probably some better labels
- Batch numbers/different colored caps for each compound
I think Neo could be a good domestic source moving forward, my genuine observation is that he's probably some dude who brews for himself, and wants to make some extra dough. I don't believe he's trying to scam or hurt anyone, but I'll hold my breath on that.
My only other critiques would be to have more competitive pricing (
when not running a sale) as this well help you stand out, invest in some better equipment, and if you really want to set yourself apart - look into extra testing measures like
@readalot has posted about in the past. I think even something like doing guaiacol testing is always an added bonus to show you're not being a lazy shithead brewer. I also feel you should disclose what type of MCT you're using due to some users having certain sensitivities (
hint: if it's the cheap kind, C12, or some shit).
Feel free to roast me, I don't give a fuck, and you're gay.
