DISCLAIMER: I have not currently had the time to try this product yet personally, however I will update this review when I do so.

First off, a bit of quick background. I don't want to reveal too much information, but I have a background in organic chemistry and my current work allows me access to a lab.

Everything was kept as sterile as possible during the weighing and analysis, and proper lab procedures were followed at all times.


WEIGHING

The product was weighed using two seperate lab-grade calibrated scales multiple times, and the variance between the two was less than 1mg.


MELTING POINT:

A small amount (~1-2mg) of product was placed in a capillairy tube and then monitored in a dedicated melting point apparatus. The product liquified instantiously at 214.8C on the nose, completely and very quickly. This is directly in line with PIHKAL findings. Keep in mind, this is an older machine and humidity can become a factor, so the temperature itself is not as important as how consistently the entire product dissolves.


REAGENT TESTING:

Unfortuantly, the laser diode in our FTIR machine recently died, and it will be months before we can get that fixed (looking at a $4000 repair). That being said, IR spectroscopy would not tell us the purity of any given substance, but it would prove whether or not at least some of our product is 2C-B. A GC-MS combined with an NMR would be ideal, but that is still far off in the future for the lab's current budget. So, we will have to use the next best thing (reagent testing).

All reagents were mixed/created on site using lab-grade materials and used immediatly, so age/light/water degregdation should not be an issue.

Each reagent test used approximatly 2-3mg of product.

Marquis:

(Formaldehyde and Sulfuric acid were kept seperate, then combined on the product itself)

Instant bright yellow color, lots of bubbling and smoking which then quickly changed to darker and darker shades of green as time went on. Eventually (8+ minutes) the reagent turned a vibrant blue color, so do not be alarmed if that happens.

Mandelin:

Similair reacation as the Marquis, except no inital yellow color. Went from a light green to darker over a period of about 30 seconds.

Mecke:

Bit of an odd one, starts off yellow like the Marquis, then changed to what I would call a "dirty green" color, almost brownish. That's to be expected however and is inline with other's results.


IMAGES:

Here is a picture of the actual product that was recieved:

A small amount was then placed on a microscope slide to view the fine crystals, here is an image at 100x magnificaiton:

The product was then spread out more (very gently) with a lab spatula. Here are some images (4) at 400x magnification:

Please excuse the chromatic abberation, the crystals themselves were perfectly clear, the lenses in the microscope combined with the camera cause slight color fringing.

Lastly, an effort was made to gently crush some of the crystals on the slide by applying light pressure with a lab spatula. The crystals are extremely fragile and turned very fine with just a small amount of effort. Here is an image at 400x:

Like I said, I have not had the time to test this substance personally, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. I was not compensated for this review, nor will I ever be. It appears that 2cbking has made a good product, but I have no affiliation/ties to him, and hopefully in the future I can apply these same viewing methods to someone else's product.

Please, do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

Also, I just wanted to add a quick note about 2cbkings character:

I mistakenly thought that you could order by half grams (2cbking only offers whole grams at a time), so I sent payment to him for 1.5grams. He quickly and politetly informed me of the issue, and actually sent me 2 grams in the mail without asking for more payment!

Now, don't be an ass and do this just to get more product, I just wanted to put this here to show how much of a nice guy he is.

[2 Points] TheStonedChemist:

We need more product reviews like this in the community! Thank you for your diligence sir! It is greatly appreciated.


[2 Points] nomistaofficah:

This is the kind of review I love. Not just pictures, but pictures at 400x. Also the whole trained chemist thing is a huge bonus but that's just going above and beyond


[2 Points] MT_Merchant_Mangler:

This is hands down the most thorough review that I've ever seen on here. I'm actually impressed OP.


[1 Points] Metroid420:

My only concern about doing business via e-mail is it that it is all FE :/ . You have blindly trust this guy.

Great review !! Very detailed


[1 Points] pooppooppants:

Wait is 2C-B King back???? I bought a gram from him a while back but ended up throwing it away because cops almost came. Scary shit. His stuff was fire and I want to buy more 😁


[1 Points] aaatttppp:

I have to ask, why 2CB?


[1 Points] PerfectingYoko:

Best review I've seen cheers

Can I ask what equipment your org lab does have? No IR, no gcms or nmr? Genuine curiosity btw not being a dick, how do you analyse anything.


[1 Points] seasport100:

Does anyone know how long it usually takes for him to respond on protonmail? It's been over 48 hours and I still haven't got a response.

Sent 2cbking coins for an order on August 6th along with an email, haven't heard back from him and it's August 23rd, so he's either on vacation, out of stock and money, some emergency, or worse. I'd definitely check in with him before placing an order... Seems he hasn't made a reddit post in 2mo.... Hope you are out there and well 2cbking, and maybe one day fulfill my order..... :P
