Results Winner - TheoryOfHarmonyCS Most accurate replica, although depending on your market ECB will pass for pharma if customers are ignorant (S093man could take this if they look similar to the pictures. I need them in hand to be 100% sure)

 

1- /u/TheoryOfHarmonyCS 481/500 - 96.20%
2- /u/s093man 477.5/500 - 95.50% (I don't have these in hand so take this with a grain of salt, Results could change in the future)
3 - /u/EastCoastBarbarian 469/500 - 93.80% (Although not a 1:1 pharma replica bartards that have never seen pharma will choose ECB over the others because of gloss and depthness)
3 - /u/XanaxBoss 435.55/500 - 87.11 %
4 - /u/Vendor_XanaxRing 345.5/500 - 69.10%

 

The point of this comparison is to get all vendors presses to a point where they are indistinguishable from pharma. ECBs press will fool anyone that hasn't seen pharma because of it's gloss and uniform color however it's not the most accurate when compared to true pharma.

 

If you want the best X2s /u/Pharmak1ng1 has it on lock as well as Pasitheas on TR

We get it they need to change their colors.

Any of these vendors ship from Canada?


[1 Points] DNMTiger:

I havent tried s093man or the canadians but i love TOHs they look great , and are way stronger than the 2mg advertised, and i thought ECB got his hulks from TOH or at least he was for a while, did he start sourcing them from else where


[1 Points] KeepMeAFewDollars:

Anxious to see the busses


[1 Points] TheoryOfHarmonyCS:

Appreciate the well written review!! We work extremely hard to make sure our bars look similar to pharma's and we take great pride in doing so! Thank you!
