[Vendor Review] BudsNRoses "1oz Premium Shake" and ogbryan "Quarter Ounce of True OG Kush - FUCKING AWESOME" [Agora]

I adjusted the review template, because in my opinion, the most important factors are stealth and quality. These should each make up half of the final score calculation. I chose to give qualitative feedback for the other stuff. The Aesthetics, Transaction, Vendor, and Drug categories are redundant, in my opinion, so I took them out. Consider this my vote to streamline the current template which would allow us to more effectively evaluate vendors. EDIT: Credit goes to /u/entactoBob for the original review template.

BudsNRoses is a fabulous new vendor. I was surprised by the fast shipping, great stealth, and dank quality. This shake is great for budget smoking. Doesn't everyone grind their weed anyway? If you don't, consider the fact that you can buy an ounce of this shake and a beautiful Santa Cruz Shredder for less than even the cheapest ounce of buds on Agora.

Picture: Remember, this is shake, not nugs. It's not pretty, but it smokes great and can be used in edibles, for vaping, etc. Link to picture (sorry for the poor image quality... the True OG Kush pics are better).

Vendor: [ogbryan]
Market: [Agora]
Product: [Quarter Ounce of True OG Kush - FUCKING AWESOME]
Location: from [USA] to [USA]
Required FE: [No]
Vacuum Sealed: [Yes (see description for more info)]
Decoy: [No]
Handwriting: [No]
Rating
Communication: Very responsive and honest
Shipping time: 5 days from order to delivery
Price value: Not worth the $97 + shipping IMO
Weight: Slightly under
Stealth: [5] / 10 (see below for explanation)
Quality: [9] / 10
TOTAL SCORE: [14] / 20

To be honest, after all of the good things I've heard about ogbryan, I am shocked that this isn't a perfect score. After receiving the product, I immediately noticed the lack of MBB. Huge red flag for a weed vendor (ogbryan later explained that he uses MBB for QPs and above). This wouldn't bother me if the smell didn't completely overpower my room after opening the first layer (there were only two vacuum seals). I've had vendors use only vacuum sealed bags before, but these had 4 or 5 layers and I didn't ever smell anything until opening the last one. It's terrifying to imagine what could have happened if the smell leaked past the second layer.

The weight was slightly under, which is more of an annoyance to me rather than a major issue. Just about 0.1g short.

The product is great, but I had to knock off 1 point for the value. It is almost indistinguishable from my 4-month-old product from WeedNation, which was only $250 IIRC. Both vendors sell dense, frosty, dank weed. In the end, I think ogbryan would be a great choice if you are looking for QPs and above. You'll get MBB and I doubt he would short a big order. His communication was solid enough that I am eying his 'good for the price' QP.

OG Kush Picture Faceoff:

ogbryan's True OG on left, WeedNation's Platinum OG on right

Round 1: Low exposure for bud definition -- Perfect form! Calling this one a tie.

Round 2: High exposure for quality and color -- Also too close to call. Tie.

Round 3: With flash to accentuate the frostiness -- The 5-month-old Platinum OG used to be frosty as hell, but lost its luster over time. Final round goes to ogbryan. This would have been close in June.

. . .

EDIT: I should add that BudsNRoses' product is not better than ogbryan's. I took into account that one was advertised as "great shake" and the other as "fucking awesome weed, better than anything you've ever seen."

EDIT 2: Can a mod remove "[Vendor Review]" from the default review title? With flair, it's redundant to have both.

Heh, for the shake the weight was "on point" but for the og kush you were missing a "point" (0.1g)

Use https://www.anonimg.com/ for hosting pics. Would love to see some of the shake... I'm thinking about making some edibles and $100 for an ounce of shake doesn't seem to bad. Nice review :)

I personally go through ogb, He has some dank nugs. Shipping time is as advertised 2-4 priority. Last batch of true OG Kush was a little less dank (sitting for a tad too long) then my previous one. But it was the last one of the listing so ill chalk it up to that.

His trimming of the bud is great, nice nugs, no leafs, no stems. He is on point with weight in my case but imo vendors should always over weigh even if its .1-.01 depending on order. Just good buisness ( no nickle and diming)

Communication is fast and effective, I have asked multiple questions and have received replies within 24 hours (depending on when I asked during the day)

I do wish mbb was used for ozs. All about that OPSEC.

Would you happen to have any pictures for either products?

This sounds about right with my experience with OGB. Always a really potent stank and hq flowers, but he really does the bare minimum with the stealth. It works, and I always get my bud on the 3rd day like clockwork, but all he needs is mylar on each order and I'd be fine. His bud is almost TOO good for his stealth. Good luck ever getting an overweight sack from him as well.

Side note: His True OG is my go-to strain/vendor when I'm looking for top shelf. It's always amongst the best
