[Vendor Review] NWCannabisAndConcentrates [Hansa] 1/8oz each Headband Shatter, Pineapple Trainwreck Shatter (x-post r/DankNation)

Hello and welcome to the second part of my new review series focusing on Hansa's cannabis concentrates vendors. Today I am reviewing NWCannabisAndConcentrates and their "Headband Shatter" and "Pineapple Trainwreck Shatter." At some point next week, 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 that 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. If you are interested in the reasoning behind making these changes you can follow the link at the top of this post to my old reviews which contain my full explanation.

NWCannabisAndConcentrates is a new Hansa vendor offering "true top shelf, indoor grown cannabis" and "lab made concentrates and edibles all from the Pacific Northwest." They've got candies, pre-rolls, vape pen cartridges, the works. Over a month since they launched and 40+ positive feedback but it looks like nobody's done a review of their concentrates yet. Let's see how it goes.

Communication with NWC&C was quick and easy. I sent a message to inquire about placing a custom order and received a reply in just under 2 hours informing me they were running low on the strains I requested and would let me know soon. A few hours later I got another message telling me we were good to go and so naturally I smashed that Buy Now button.

Order placed 3/30 (Weds) and arrived 4/1 (Fri). Lightning fast. Printed label, visual barrier but no decoy (-2), vac-sealed single-layer MBB. 18/20 (9/10) on "Stealth." Basically perfect.

The product is a lovely pull-and-snap at room temperature. Depending on the temperature of your room it may be more on the pully side than the snappy side but still a fantastic product. To be clear, pull-and-snap doesn't mean that it contains solvent or other contaminants; viscosity can depend on the age of the starting material, whether the material was dewaxed, chamber temps during purge, etc. Usually, the higher you go above 90f, the softer the oil, in my experience anyway.

So I'll give this an 18/20 (9/10) on "Quality" just because the product listing said shatter and, well, unless refrigerated, shatter this is not. Small amount of residue on the nail but no sparks under flame or anything like that. Great smooth taste on the exhale from both strains. Weight on point and the parchment paper makes it easy to collect. I'm very happy with this product and I'll let the photos/gifs say the rest.

TL;DR: My entire experience with NWCannabisAndConcentrates was nearly flawless. Lightning fast replies, 2-day shipping, god-tier MBB stealth. My single complaint is that this is pull-and-snap, not shatter, but it's still dank as fuck and my people love it. Tastes delicious. Would recommend.

Damn dude! Nice review! Especially like the gifs keep up the awesome reviews homie :)


[1 Points] None:

At least 180'. 210 hot water bath is perfect. At about 140 you get crumble/sugar wax With lots of plant wax. Looks like they skipped winterizing. Then it would be shatter and break like glass. But like you said really doesn't matter in regards to quality. What you have probably tastes better than shatter. Good shatter has very little taste and smell.

I did smoke cigs for 40 years so don't have the best taste buds. Don't even taste flower.
