Zerthe best on AB was running a BOGO deal for purchases up to 7g (or 14g after the sale). The price for what was supposed to be 14g was $250 plus shipping, which is one of the best prices I've ever seen for ice on the DNM. The price point comes out to $17.86/g. So the price was amazing, and I knew some custies that would buy up my product quickly. However, having never purchased from Zer before I didn't know what I was supposed to expect in terms of quality, stealth and comms.
However, Zer set up the purchases for 100% escrow or multisig. I absolutely hate the idea of leaving money in AB's escrow; however, at the time I hadn't gotten to learning how to use their MS function. (And if anybody has used it and would like to comment on how it is, whether you think it's an effective protection against exit scams ETC. please do!)
Zer responded to all of my messages relatively quickly and was helpful when I had any questions. With big sales like this, it's always nice to see a vendor taking some time to make sure the customers are taken care of.
(Spoiler alert!) I ended up loving everything so much that I bought the BOGO deal twice, and both times Zer shipped in less than 24 hours. The whole process was only 3 days from click to my drop both times, which is always wonderful to see.
The stealth was definitely the low point of the whole transaction. There was no decoy/misdirection, and even though the product was MBB, I think that more care could be taken with the stealth. It wasn't even vac-sealed! As a result, I messaged Zer and talked to him about improving his stealth. He was immediately receptive to this idea which I liked, and we chatted for a little while about it.
The product quality is absolutely phenomenal. The glass is nice and soft, seems relatively clear, and Zer sends fast-ass shards. Now, these aren't only big shards. To my knowledge, MSM is also used to create bigger shards, and the product that I sampled was completely even in terms of purity and quality. There are nice parallel striations, and the characteristic "sounds like glass" when a big shard is dropped. Because both purchases got flipped relatively quickly, I can't take pictures of the whole thing (don't have it anymore). However, I did take a pic of the biggest shard each time. While I don't have the whole product in one spot, I can tell you that the first purchase was well over 16g and the second was around 15.5. After only paying $250 for the whole thing, I was shocked that the bags came in SO overweight especially on an escrow/sale product!
The only two ROAs I tried for this purchase was insufflation and smoking. I've never used a rig so you'll have to talk to others about how it is.
Insufflation:
As always, it hurt like a mfer to blow. But it comes with the game. This shit was so high quality that even when I would dose only once, I would never go to bed the same day that I've used Zer's product. With a fat enough line, this is ice that'll give you a shit ton of energy and focus for solidly 24+ hours. More than once I would go to sleep after an all-nighter, stay asleep for 3 to 4 hours, and wake up completely refreshed and continue my meth-fueled rampages hahaha!!
Smoking:
There's no residue that gets left behind. You can smoke your piece completely clean, and I absolutely love that! The actual vapor itself is very gentle and leaves a very faint sweet flavor in your mouth. With smaller rips, the vapor is completely odorless. I can't say I know a huge amount of ice, but I get the feeling that there are pretty much no cuts. Any deviation from just pure product would likely be from left over precursors. (To my knowledge the reason insufflation is so painful is because of the left over phosphoric acid, which is very easy to inhale but horrible on the sinuses.)
When smoked, Zer's bags are very clean and I haven't gotten any bad jitters or general "tweakiness". I always try to avoid this, and as a result smoked substantially less than I insuffulated. In addition, I always recommend Magnesium Biglycinate before, during and after a nice binge. Uridine+Fish Oil+Choline is a great combo for restoring burnt out dopamine receptors on your days off, and if I can lecture everyone about harm reduction, I think that those supplements would greatly benefit anyone who wants to use ice responsibily.
All in all, this is some of the top DNM ice I've ever gotten. The only competition I have would be crank_yanker. I know the man is saint around here, but I and all my customers were not too thrilled with MrSuperMario's product. While priced amazingly, it never seemed as HQ as the others.
I'd absolutely recommend Zer for the future, and I know that I'll be a regular customer for as long as he can maintain fat HQ bags.

Next time I'll make sure I take a few more, and get the whole package before I flip it.
EDIT: Has anyone else bought from Zer? My main custie said he wasn't too impressed. I'm 99% sure that he's just gassing me to get a lower price so fuck him. Anyone else wanna corroborate?
EDIT 2: Is there anything in the review that I missed? I'm not posting any more details about stealth, but if there's something you wanted to know more about the purchase then please leave a comment and I'll try to give you as detailed an answer as I think I can!
I can attest that Zer is the man. I got one of his BOGO eight balls, and he sent me almost 9g for $120! Like OP said, the product is clean, and you can smoke your piece until it's clear. Also, the high is up there with anything I've gotten on here. A note on the stealth, mine was packaged in multiple MBBs so I considered it to be sufficient, although the more stealth the better.
