I've changed to a different review template now, feel this one is a bit fairer as the original one made the vendor look bad if they didnt get 5/5 for everything. Sorry YoungFamily, on the old template you would have had 100/100, but hopefully this is more helpful for readers. So anyway, on with what happened on my test this time:
Having a little spare BTC a cpl of weeks ago I ordered 1g of this Tangerine Dreams from YoungFamily -noting that they seemed they keen that their customers were aware that this was the "REAL GENETICS". Havent seen anyone advertising "ALTERNATIVE GENETICS", but I guess there are some dodgy clones out there. Looked it up on Leafly.com and found that the reviews promised a pleasant most sativa/indica high, a nice focussed energetic buzz which I thought might be idea for certain parts of my job.
The delivery arrived within 48hrs of me placing order, certainly within 24 hours of the vendor marking the order complete, so no complaints there. With UK domestic I dont expect anything amazing, a padded bag and some good vacuum sealing plus smell proofing is fine, and this ticked all those boxes. I vape my herbs nowadays, which I suspect can sometimes lead to different results to normal smoking, but in this case I really enjoyed it - much like the Leafly.com description.
Happened to be placing some DNM orders for a friend the next day, and he mentioned a herbal discontinuity in his local area, so he was a little concerned that he wouldnt have a regular supply of quality smoke. I mentioned this Tangerine Dream, described how I enjoyed it and he enjoined me to order him some asap, which I did as well as ordering another 3.5g for myself. Both these orders I did late one night, YoungFamily processed the order next day and we had our herb the next day (my friend and I live about 300 miles apart).
Its nicely grown and trimmed bud, I will see if I can add some photos later but the ones on the vendor page are pretty accurate. It has a strong smell but its not all pervading some are, YoungFamily sent me a nice message about re-ordering so quickly and my eight was definitely well overweight - unfortunately I need a new battery for my digital scales, so the other ones just shows me its more than an eighth! Its a nice smoke in the vaporiser too, pleasant citrusy tastes and doesnt turn unpleasant towards the end unless I really turn the temp up.Does give me the nice buzz to get on and do things if I put my mind to it - still have to have a coffee and motivate myself to get get out the house, but its fun when I do it :)
Got some feedback from my remote friend too, they had been out for a drink for the evening and got back for a smoke - their local connects had fallen through so the Tangerine was their only supply for the night. Friend didnt admit to the DNM hookup (I've been teaching him OPSEC), just muttered about good connections, and apparently everyone was really enjoying it. General opinion was that it was an "excellent smoke", certainly more than they would usually pay up there, usually this quality herb would be £30/8th rather than the £39 this ended up being, but then half of that was delivery and it arrived next day, not "maybe sometime in the future" ;).
So all round, probably more orders coming to YoungFamily from us. I've also relocated "JnenFrancis" on Nucleus, wish to compare his Moroccan hash to Weed4bits, Afgan/Charas, so that will probably be my next review!
EDIT- fixed the table formatting....
If you remove the colons around the | it should present the table a little better, currently it appears that there are 3 columns (the first being empty) or something. I'm not sure if that was on accident or deliberate, but just FYI.
edit: Nevermind, I think its just a bad "reload" - perhaps I was incorrect.
