1st order was for the .5 of the cooked coke. Placed it the 26th, and by Tuesday I had it in my hands. Package was very stealth and secure, and product was some water that melted nice and clean, powerful blasts and soaring high. Just put in a repeat order, but overall. 5/5 on the communication, speed, and stealth shipping.

Any more reviews?? This guy is up past 40 transactions and now requiring FE on ALL orders :'(. The only feedback I've seen was for samples. No larger quantities. Anyone else have a review about quality, shipping time, etc?

I had a good experience, but it was a sample. I sure hope Kalonji is not requiring FE. I was planning on placing an order soon but wouldnt if he requires FE

He definitely is requiring FE. I currently have an order with him which I DID NOT finalize early. I am waiting to see if it arrives. Will leave a review if/when it arrives. This is taken directly from his profile

He didn't even bother replying to my message (after reading it) so i didn't place an order with him.
Sellers requiring FE for well established buyers = bad.
-
I as well will not purchase if I have to FE.
Try to give this "New Vendor" some slack, he may work with you if you talk with him

I also placed a large order for my girlfriend with Kalonji just because he WAS NOT requiring FE at the time when I pm'ed and ordered from him on 5-28 and 5- 30. He informed me that both orders would be combined and shipped together. All communication with him prior to the FE change stated shipment would occur yesterday Sat. 6-2. He changed his profile to FE on 6-1. Vendors need to state WHY their profiles have changed and date their changes. It would be less confusing for buyers.All his communication with me has been very timely and pleasant and since he did not inform me of the change before accepting my order I'm under the impression my order has shipped. I do find it odd that he would go to FE after only being a vendor for 16 days and has over 40 transactions. Regardless, when my order arrives I will give my normal 5/5 review for completion of the transaction, but I won't hang my funds out on the next order with FE regardless of phenomenal feedback. I too have phenomenal stats being a member for over 10 months, with 0 % auto finalize, and less than 2 % refund rate which was not do to me but to vendors that could not complete the transaction. I can't see where he has been burned by customers with only being in business for 16 days with most of his early transactions being free samples. But who knows what goes on in the heads of vendors at any given point. I do see that there are a lot of customers that are ordering with FE from him, but I'm not one of them. If Kolonji does not ship to me due to FE then all he has to do is cancel the order and I'll wait for the "The Store" to get back from vacation. He never expects FE and he always has excellant powder which I'm more partial to, my crazy ass girlfriend likes that smoke.
I estimate arrival no later that Thursday 6-7-12. Upon arrival or not I will post her review here.

I too can say that Kalonji has always responded to messages very quickly.
A+ for communication
I got rather quick shipping too so A+ on that
Bikerbum if you get the same as I did your going to be very happy with the quality

I ordered a gram from kalonji it was great it came in a timely manor and i liked the package the product was good the size was excellent . Finally someone who sales what he advertised . I will continue to purchase from kalonji as long as he is on the site and his prices stay reasonable. I did ordered again for a sale he had on Memorial Day it should arrive Monday . Why he is asking people to F.E early now is disappointing but i assume he is getting customers faster than expected and needs the funds to stay supplied. But i would not order anything larger than a Gram if i had to FE early. Even though i trust the vender But i trusted Noriega to and i havn't seen him or heard if people finally got there orders after the 4/20 sale.

Alright guys,i have just bought 1g off kalonji,i have not recieved it yet but have high hopes,have had plenty of contact with him and has always replied to my messages pretty quick,mine was an International order so i finalised early,will leave a review when i recieve my letter....... ;D

Thanks for the reply northside, I see you recieved one of his samples which normally are top notch in my experience at SR, if new vendors want to generate quick positive feedback. Once he get's my feedback on the 3 and the .5 I ordered and then get's some feedback for the 3's that were ordered by other buyers with FE with no issues, then his cred will out way his FE policy possibly. I'll hang out a .5 on FE but what's the point of that. I'll never hang my funds out on 3.0, 3.5 or a 7.0 on FE. That's just my policy with what I've seen vendors do in the past 10 months. Remember, Mr. NiceGuy, George Jung, Min,GOA, Roscochicken, Noriega as stated in the previous post. Buyers have to do their homework and remember vendors can turn sour in a heartbeat regardless of their standing. And less not forget freaky ass buyers who holler rape if their orders don't show in the next days mail. Time will tell with Kolonji and if he stay's up and up he will become a valued vendor on SR. But again FE is not for me and shouldn't be for anyone who can't afford to lose the funds.

The FE policy is no longer posted on his profile. That a plus, the FE policy really turned me off of possibly using him again. Kalonji's profile now states "*Sorry for the delays in shipping(worth it)! I have really been moving this work. I will be offering more products soon!" Hopefully all that pulls through.

Well, he's either seeing these post's or his customers dropped off drastically due to the FE statement. Now 2 days later no FE and he's sorry for shipping delays??. And he's stating more products on the way??. This guy is all over the place.He needs to take care of the listing's he has first. Since I'm now not getting any communication from him on my order, I'm starting to get that GUT feeling, even though I didn't FE. Hopefully I'm wrong for all you guys who did FE. He has at least 5 orders with FE by his feedback. If my order arrives, I'll be more than happy to retract my GUT feeling.

That's exactly how I'm starting to feel. Communication is at a minimum. If my package doesn't arrive by the time the resolve button is able to be clicked (Friday). I will be opening a case.

Just keeping an eye on Kalonji. In the past 24 hours his profile has changed to "Only new buyers with 5 or less transactions must FE" then to "*NO F/E. UNLESS I ASK! " which is what it currently state as of now. The FE policy has changed 3 times in under 36 hours maybe even under 24 hours (Can't remember exactly). Theres nothing that lets a user know if a profile was changed, so I keeping note of it here.
On another note, he has not been responding to my messages and if he does it is extremely vague answers. On top of that my order was placed on the 28th, marked as shipped on the 29th, and received a PM saying it would be sent on the morning of the 30th. Including the day it was shipped, that's 5 shipping days, on a post that takes 2-3 days domestically, 99% of the time. It could be late but I'm assuming it wasn't shipped judging by the PM's I received. Although, it could have been shipped out after I complained in a few PM's about it not arriving and requesting him to check on it. Either way, Friday is when I will know if this is going to the Resolution Center.
If I was anyone that was going to order and had to FE. I wouldn't! I would wait until the orders that are currently placed to be received and wait for the feedback from the people who spent some coin on this (especially the orders that FE'd).

Im so glad i did tracking because i knew something like this will happen. Item was shipped to this fella on wensday and tracking shows it got there 2 days later. On friday! Yes i have changed my policy alot of times to shape my business so everyone is happy but i will not be here to please everyone to be honest.
Hopefully me and MIB can settle this situation and he can retract his thoughts.

Interesting, I will go to the Post Office tomorrow. I'm just being honest and keeping people informed along the way. No disrespect at all. Although I have messaged you everyday since Friday about this order. I was getting minimal responses from you via PM, so I stated what was going on in the forums as the days went by. I will be going to the Post Office. I can confirm that the tracking info you sent me does confirm that a package was received at my zip code on Friday. Weird thing is I have received absolutely NO mail whatsoever since Tuesday, not even junk mail. I'm glad you did tracking, that helps with figuring this out. I will update tomorrow with exactly what goes on. Again, no disrespect to you at all. I PM'd you as well.

And I would like to add that possibly my gut feeling was premature since the man himself has posted his input on this thread.
Communication is everything on SR, once that fades due to whatever reasons, buyers and vendors alike begin to kibitz on the cause whether it's a new vendor or a veteran.
I commend you for your input, Kalonji, and it can only lead to a better relationship with your customers and hopefully a long and profitable term on SR.
For sure you can't please everyone, so state your profile once, whatever it may be and the customers who agree will order and of course date your updates to avoid confusion.
As in my case, my work takes me out of town for a few days and when I get back a vendor's profile has changed without an attached date, leads to confusion.
But again I do give you a 5/5 just for addressing MIB's concerns, and if he is in error and a stand up buyer like most of us, he'll retract.
Now that that's aired out,,,,,,,,,,one last minor item:
Did my order ship out on time? LOL man.

Update: Kalonji's communication is back, in my case anyways. He informed me my item is tracked for delivery today. As I said, communication is everything. Product review forthcoming.

Well, I ordered on 5-28 and again on 5-30 and saw on his profile at that time that he would be starting to ship again on Sat 6-2.
On 5-30 is when I pm'd him about combining orders and whether the shipping statement was for the upcoming Sat or the previous Sat due to no date associated with the shipping statement. Communication was quick and he confirmed it was for the upcoming Sat and to order away and he would be happy to combine. Then the slight craziness with the profile changes occurred and this thread began to bloom. So his communication is now back up to par in my case and he has confirmed to me that expect delivery today. To answer your question he shipped my order as stated on Sat 6-2 and the expected arrival (cause the mail gets to me in the afternoon)is today 6-6. Not counting Sunday 3 days to my location. Not too shabby IMHO. Once it arrives and my girlfriend blast's off, I'll be posting her product review tomorrow.

Package received! It came on Friday as I suspected. I didn't find it until Tuesday though! Kalonji is A+ I will definitely use him again. Packaging is perfect. Vacuumed in case anyone is wondering. The product, oh the product! It's fucking great! It is some butter, has a nice shiny mild yellow tint to it. It taste like it should, and melts great! Best of all It was in 3 solid pieces no crumbs and weighed up nicely. Some of the best I've done. A+ all around for this guy.

Update 6-7-12: Product arrived as stated. Kalonji's quick communication is back. Pro Packaging. I finalized immediately and gave a 5/5 for the transaction. Product pure white and shipped in large chunks but cuts soft with razor.. No yellow tint as described by MIB so obviously from a different batch as stated could occur in his profile. Turned product over to Gloria for her testing pleasure and she reports she has to use more product than when she cooks it herself to get where she needs to be, but it does do the job considering this batch has a slight excess in baking soda which is why it is so soft and it does leave some soda residue. She stated she would have liked to have the material MIB is raveing about to test. Since I don't smoke, my observation was that she didn't get as freaky in the sack as she normally does when she cooks my powder and that my friends is a true test as far as I'm concerned. LMFAO.
So as far as vending goes Kalonji is 5/5 and as far as product goes he has posted the disclaimer about different batches in his profile so I guess you get what you get. I can't bitch to Kalonji for that.Maybe he should reconsider the source where he got that batch from. If he can get consistent with obtaining ,HARD CANDY ,Gloria says she will give him another shot on another eightball.Kolonji, Maybe you can send her a sample of the batch MIB got if there's any left, Notice I DID NOT say Free Sample.
Excuse me while I take another line.

It was delicious! I assure you guys it was straight fire! That is a little disappointing that BB's batch his girlfriend received was not the same batch. All honesty the whole way through though, he stated that batches would be different. I wanted to add that the batch I received was no where near soft. It was hard a fucking rock! I had to use some strength to break some of that up. I truly can't get over how good the product was. I CAN'T get shit like Kalonji gave me anywhere around where I live, and that's a fact. A stand up guy who is true to his word. What more could you ask for? As others have stated, the communication and honesty is key to a good relationship for vendors with buyers. Thanks again Kalonji! I will try to order again in the next week or two, to see what the next batch is like. A+++

<---Glad you do tracking as well
MIB- Sounds like you might be overkilling it on the PM's...Alot of vendors see a PM a day as excessive and it kind of turns them off
Package received! It came on Friday as I suspected. I didn't find it until Tuesday though! Kalonji is A+ I will definitely use him again. Packaging is perfect. Vacuumed in case anyone is wondering. The product, oh the product! It's fucking great! It is some butter, has a nice shiny mild yellow tint to it. It taste like it should, and melts great! Best of all It was in 3 solid pieces no crumbs and weighed up nicely. Some of the best I've done. A+ all around for this guy.

yea it was some glass! hopefully im gaining you guys trust

Really hoping that mine comes through.....been a while now but have to take into account Queens Jubilee,sounds good from what i am reading about it.

And I would like to add that possibly my gut feeling was premature since the man himself has posted his input on this thread.
Communication is everything on SR, once that fades due to whatever reasons, buyers and vendors alike begin to kibitz on the cause whether it's a new vendor or a veteran.
I commend you for your input, Kalonji, and it can only lead to a better relationship with your customers and hopefully a long and profitable term on SR.
For sure you can't please everyone, so state your profile once, whatever it may be and the customers who agree will order and of course date your updates to avoid confusion.
As in my case, my work takes me out of town for a few days and when I get back a vendor's profile has changed without an attached date, leads to confusion.
But again I do give you a 5/5 just for addressing MIB's concerns, and if he is in error and a stand up buyer like most of us, he'll retract.
Now that that's aired out,,,,,,,,,,one last minor item:
Did my order ship out on time? LOL man.
Bikerbum
Update: Kalonji's communication is back, in my case anyways. He informed me my item is tracked for delivery today. As I said, communication is everything. Product review forthcoming.
Update 6-7-12: Product arrived as stated. Kalonji's quick communication is back. Pro Packaging. I finalized immediately and gave a 5/5 for the transaction. Product pure white and shipped in large chunks but cuts soft with razor.. No yellow tint as described by MIB so obviously from a different batch as stated could occur in his profile. Turned product over to Gloria for her testing pleasure and she reports she has to use more product than when she cooks it herself to get where she needs to be, but it does do the job considering this batch has a slight excess in baking soda which is why it is so soft and it does leave some soda residue. She stated she would have liked to have the material MIB is raveing about to test. Since I don't smoke, my observation was that she didn't get as freaky in the sack as she normally does when she cooks my powder and that my friends is a true test as far as I'm concerned. LMFAO.
So as far as vending goes Kalonji is 5/5 and as far as product goes he has posted the disclaimer about different batches in his profile so I guess you get what you get. I can't bitch to Kalonji for that.Maybe he should reconsider the source where he got that batch from. If he can get consistent with obtaining ,HARD CANDY ,Gloria says she will give him another shot on another eightball.Kolonji, Maybe you can send her a sample of the batch MIB got if there's any left, Notice I DID NOT say Free Sample.
Excuse me while I take another line.
Bikerbum
Thanks for the review. The batch gloria received was an ok batch. I dont smoke crack or get into any of the stimulants. Im a pothead! Biker shoot me a message everynow and than and i will let you know if its good or not. I will be honest like i have :)
That's cool KJ,I always give a 5/5 for completion of a transaction.I give 1/5 for either the product is pure shit or the vendor bullshitting me with shipping, unneeded delays, no communication.There is no in between with me. Since you don't smoke it like me, just remember Gloria sez "In most cases the harder the better" especially when it's processed with soda. The batch you sent you can crush with your fingers which means the guy who cooked it was stretching it with soda. And using your term for hard candy....as hard as"GLASS" in MIB's quote, and your profile stating you move alot of this product tells me your not that much of a stranger to this program.
To keep your customers that shell out 3 beans at a clip coming back give them the best or tell them to wait.
Otherwise on the other side of the coin next time MIB order's he will have high expectations where as Gloria's expectations are low.

A 5/5 man for sure! My expectations I suppose would be based on that butter from the first ball, so they are quite high. The shipping speed was tremendous too, it literally took 2 days!

Well mine never came through,very dissapointed with Kalonji,has stopped replying to my messages.Makes me wonder if he shipped it at all...............
-
i responded to your pm :)

You responded to my first one.Glad to see you have changed your profile to no International orders,probably for the best.........

Changed it a few days ago. Ill rather keep it USA.

hey kalonji, have you still got that glass batch? I already have your half G listing in my kart to give you a try. What is your opinion on the batch you got now?
Yea its looking good killers! !
-
I had a similar thought as Bikerbum's Gloria and that is AOK. KJ has been clear in both his communication and the how the product will vary from batch to batch. I will use KJ again and I appreciate his presence in the forums. That goes a long way toward building trust. Hey KJ, you can expect me this wknd! Hope there is some glass left for me.
-
Sorry about the delay.
Kalonji, I saw what you sent and I was like "Holy Shit", very nice!
3 gr. all 1 big solid piece of hard
Very nice size, love getting it as a chunk, color was off-white BTW
Smoke was clean and potent
Shipping took 3 days from order to door, so that was AWESOME.
Communication is prompt as always
All in all 5/5 from me, again!

Thanks you guys!
Message me on SR somtimes! Even if your not ordering :)

PM'd Kalonji with another 3 g request for Gloria. He assures me he has hard candy for Gloria this time.
She hope's it will be as described by NP above, 1 large clean chunk. She's still a little ticked everybody else was reviewing hard candy and she got the soft batch.
Placed order and will post Gloria's review after she becomes coherent sometime first of the week. Kalonji's communication is extremely prompt. I like it.
LMFAO, Bikerbum

Yeah the $hit I got def. snapped, no crumples

I have to give you a 5/5 for everything kalonji. Shipping was fast and stealthy and product is amazing. I'll be ordering again. I'll edit this later.
Thanks ralph!!
I want to thank all my customers for the good feedback. Glad i am welcomed!
I will start selling weed....shortly :) <Now i can tell you the quality on that! lol

Bits are fine as long as they are hard clean bits. The soft shit doesn't get it. That's what Gloria got on the last order of 3.0 & .05 combined.
I always order 3.0 or above so what kalonji states should not apply on this order that's in transit. Gloria WILL be posting her review upon arrival. She's hoping for what you got Northside.
Consistent product is as important to eightball buyers as communication is. Kalonji has the communication part down, mixed reviews on his product on this thread will just slow down his business.
What perplexes me is that with 1/4, 1/2, and whole ounce listings it sounds like he's buying bulk , so his product shouldn't vary that much. But that's just speculation.
Just procure the hard product Kalonji and you'll have happy customers.

I'm thinking you got an old batch BikerBum...Most of his recent reviews are pretty good, I can tell you I was nicely surprised with what I received.

You won't complain about this batch.

i got .5 from kalonji. weighed .63 :)
my definition of crack - cooked coke with something added. it was crack.
i got a big piece and little piece. little one went in pipe and left some residue
so i recooked the other. it did not turn into a yellow blob when melted as expected, instead a white blob.
that is why i say something added.
hardened up a little soft to the touch, as original piece was.
definitely got me high. tasted good. i was satisfied for the .5 but would want better if i was ordering 3g.
package did not have any self adhesive, just folded together and was damaged during shipping, looked ready
to open. a little tape could prevent that, watch out for fingerprints on tape.

Cool Kalonji, Gloria says thanks for your responce. She's chompin at the bit as I post.......LOL. It's good of you to post on this thread to update your customers.
As I have stated before your communication, your shipping and packaging have been top notch as far as in my case anyway. You win Gloria over with this shipment and she'll be your customer for the duration.
Thanks, Bikerbum

Hmmm..I've had thoughts go down this road as well.
Normally decent "hard" makes me wanna fuck, and I go 20-30 minuted between blasts, and rings the bell if you know what im sayin'
Kalonji's tastes great and melts nice but I feel like I want to take another blast within a couple minutes and the sexual feeling in muted

UPDATE on my saga with Kalonji:
Kalonji's a man of his word in my case. He shipped Saturday and it arrived today. Along with the seamless communication and pro packaging, it seems like he delivered this shit himself.
As far as the shit: it's not fucking glass.........................................it's fucking GRANITE. Gloria's going to need a hammer to bust this stuff up. She's at work and I'm not calling her.
She will leave work if she knows it's here. That will lose me 600 bucks from the club take. So she will come home around 1 am tonight and be pleasantly surprised. So I'll post her quality report when she gets coherent.
Thanks Kalonji, you have redeemed your self as far as I'm concerned. If Gloria concurs then you have a customer for life.

Damn...I am so glad to hear that! Over 85 trans and still going 100%, that's such great news. Hey Kalonji...is there still plenty more of that "granite" on deck? I'd really like to get a hold of some of that!

Yes its still looking good MIB

im gona make a post for an older batch back in early jun.. havent gotten around to doing said product until just recently.. packaging not bad. love those vacuum seals;) product was definitely overweight.. but quality was poor .. was yellow tint (which got me exited at first) and crumbled alot... it never got me there.. packed a 20 piece and almost got there. .. but still no train to take me away .. this is an older batch for sure but seems like his chef skills are improving with constant snap brix ;) and thats good
hope he can make this right..
-
maybe i should make this more clear.. dunno if anyone has shot crack but to do it you must turn the freebase into something more acidic..
since i couldnt get high smoking it i was just going to bang the rest in my veins.. like any other upstanding citizen would do.. upon putting the acid solution(vinegar) in my spoon after combining the dope .. It fizzles violently and leaves me with noting to shoot up.. this has NEVER EVER happened to me before.. but considering this was more than 70% baking soda that will explain the reaction.. we all know what baking soda /vinegar does when combined.. this to me is unacceptable.. i have pm'd said vendor ( which i love his comms, and even his honesty about batches) but shouldnt he lower prices if he knows the work is not gona be as good?
i just paid for a gram and essentially got a 1/4 ..
AGAIN this is not reviewing his newer batches .. seems hes doing better them as of now

You got the old nasty batches since than have been good! Im pretty sure you didnt pay alot on the last gram. This product is better thats why prices are where they are. I told you i will look out for you on your next order. But not with the conclusion we came up with on sr!

You give an arbitrary alternative. Shit you could put a snikers bar in the package.and call that hooking someone up. why in the world would i want to make another purchase from you after buying the worst dope known to man? if your not going to at least throw a .5 on a gram purchase then you can keep it.. you burned me ... u even admit that batch was horrible. any other reputable vendor would have done a resend (for free) but not your greedy ass.. man up !
and dont give me that bullshit about i didnt pay you that much. i paid more than what your prices are now... i forget the amount but it was at least 90. and since i did a direct send to you i can no longer see that far in my transaction history...
i wonder if the sr admins can look that up for me and provide proof? you think thats a good idea?

Like i said and im being as nice as i can that i would hook you up niceley on your next purchase. 2 other people got the "bad batch to" They all re-ordered and got done right with there nexted order. You acting like i ran with your money and is running circles around you when you clearly stated you received your product and it weighed over! Your tripping! Send you a gram for $46 which is what you offered me. No buddy! Your def on some shit man. How about i shut you up now and send you a .5 for free? Just pay shipping! If that doesn't make you happy im pretty sure im not the only crack dealer on sr u can shop with :)

hate being a jerk
but you really pissing me off even after i told you i would look out!
geeeesh well i know i have 99% of my clients happy :)
Thanks to all he shops with me i really appreciate buizzz

glad me and digital was able to resolve this :)
im not a bad guy fuck with me!!

Well now....that was interesting....
I will say, I got the crumbly stuff as a free sample when Kalonji first started vending.
And although it was crumbly, it wasn't bunk by any means
it just broke up easily, it still got me going....

Well Gloria tells me to stop talking out of my ass as far as product quality goes since I don't smoke it. It seems I don't know the diffrence between GRANITE, GLASS, or an M & M.
Gloria says this is the same product as last time just rerocked or recooked (for you novices). It's like an M & M, hard on the outside and soft on the inside.
So being the nonsmoker that I am and leaving the piece in one piece for Gloria's test, I may have posted prematurely my Granite statement due to that I couldn't crush it in my hand like the last batch.
As soon as Gloria chopped off a piece and saw the middle and took the first hit she proclaimed that it was from the same guy who cooked the last batch. She says it's not a bad product, just a poor product. She was needing to load her pipe too often for where she needed to be and her paranoia level was extremely high because she kept checking if my glock was still in it's holster on the side of the bed. LOL I unloaded that puppy about half way through Monday night while she was in the pisser. Then she recooked the last 2 grams with no better result and she proclaimed she's done with ready made product. Fortunately I had a 1/4 ounce of powder and she went back to cooking her own spoon by spoon. She calmed right down and got to fucking like she's supposed to do.The 2 grams left over from this batch is still sitting there. She doesn't know what the additive is that's in there but for the $650 she has spent so far, she can buy alot of soda at Foodlion herself and cut out the middle man. She plans on reselling the 2 g's to the girls at work. So Kalonji don't take offense, this is straight from the strippers mouth. This product is ok for 1/2 and gram sales on the street but when you got eightball customers you have to give them top grade shit. I still say your communication, shipping, and packaging is top notch. Gloria thinks so too, but I have to bow to her experience and post that your product needs less additive and more coke. So from me and Gloria thanks for the 2 completed orders and were done.

UPDATE on my saga with Kalonji:
Kalonji's a man of his word in my case. He shipped Saturday and it arrived today. Along with the seamless communication and pro packaging, it seems like he delivered this shit himself.
As far as the shit: it's not fucking glass.........................................it's fucking GRANITE. Gloria's going to need a hammer to bust this stuff up. She's at work and I'm not calling her.
She will leave work if she knows it's here. That will lose me 600 bucks from the club take. So she will come home around 1 am tonight and be pleasantly surprised. So I'll post her quality report when she gets coherent.
Thanks Kalonji, you have redeemed your self as far as I'm concerned. If Gloria concurs then you have a customer for life.

thanks for the honest insight! my locals was loving it! Thats why i brought it here. Im going on vacation for a week in july im going to get some high quality powder and have gloria face crooked lol. Im not to much of a middle man though :) I can def tell you that. Thanks for your business! You was one of the first to fuck with me! So you guys want it like the sample batch?
-
I can agree to some of what Gloria is saying. I don't really know what the cut is, but its there. The euphoria is muted some and the need to re-dose is exaggerated leading to extreme paranoia and jitters on the latter half of a session.
Not to say the stuff is bunk by any means, just know that its going to take a bit to get you there and you will need to keep smoking to stay there.
I do prefer the hard stuff, but it does seem like your sample was more potent than the glass I got last time.
-
Hmmm samples being the fire fire but the purchased product is way more cut? hmmm is this a popular dopeboy strategy?

Now Now....The samples were not that far off from the order, and many would rather have the order due to it being one hard chunk.

Yea I really like the solid pieces. It was way more in quantity then I would have gotten on the streets

Gloria says the locals would love it if they have never cooked high quality powder their own before, but once you've cooked the good shit,your getting the absolute real deal without any alterations.
She can get the same product from the knotheads in the club and on the street and never will. You see she has cooked with soda, ammonia and ether, so she knows what good soda cook is.
Hell she almost did a Richard Pryor on me one night last year when she got too anxious and I had to use a blanket to put the bowl out when it flamed up and she threw it on the floor. I had to replace that section of hardwood.
So the new rule of the house.....NO MORE ETHER........ unless she does it in the hunting woods out back. And to her credit, she adds "I can always get another stripper".
Kalonji, thanks for your offer to get Gloria's face crooked and I know what to do to straighten her back out. You got our address. PM me with the details when your ready. Will continue to post honest reviews.
Send her a gram of rocket fuel as a sample and if it does the the trick and you can guarantee the same product she says she'll buy an eightball AND pay for the sample and the express shipping.
And you can take that to the Bitcoin bank. The only way to get rocket fuel is to get the very best powder you can find while your on your vacation and as always watch your back.

How about if I throw you a bone. You clear out the attachment file and I'll upload one of Gloria's Club Pics so these guys can see who their talking to. She says she's in as long she's in a different hair color. You won't be disappointed.

why would anyone mess with ether in an ammonia cook .. ( not really cooking just basifying) its not a necessary step in the "cook" process.. its just speeds up everything .. but why risk the dangers of ether.. the smell carries liek a mofo and fires start so easily as you can see.. why take uneccessary risks?
and good luck on ur endeavors

To clarify what Gloria said: I guess I should have put a comma after ammonia instead of "and" so other readers will understand so they don 't try this at home.
As you misunderstood,she has used 3 different processes. 1) Cook with BAKING SODA.or 2) Cook with AMMONIA in a cold shake. or 3)Cook with ETHER in a cold shake.
The only process you actually heat up is BAKING SODA.
You cold filter the other too processes and let the product dry out and evaporate.
If you smoke AMMONIA processed product too early you get a foul ammonia taste.
If you smoke ETHER processed product too early YOU BLOW UP.
I hope this clarifies what Gloria meant for you and anybody else who read the last post. Anybody messing with AMMONIA and ETHER together would be OUT OF THEIR MINDS.That's one NASTY chemical burn.
Thanks for your post, Bikerbum & Gloria

Never heard of the "shake" method
-
Never heard of the "shake" method
It was developed in the 1980's when freebasing was popular. For example in the ammonia method you make a cold solution of household clear ammonia and cool water, add your powder product, snap the lid to the container such as a pill bottle or back then people like my aunt used to use the plastic 35 mm film can in a pinch and shake the container for a few seconds. Then pour that out into a coffee filter, bundle the end up and rinse under the kitchen faucet for a few seconds. Open up the filter and put it in a warm place to dry out completely. It normally comes out in very small nuggets if your solution mix ratio is correct and you did it right. All the cuts get dissolved and pass through the filter. After drying, smoke up. Hence if you don't let it dry completely you will get a harsh ammonia taste in the smoke. If so let it dry some more. And there you go. Don't blame me if you fuck it up.

PS. Biklerbum's at work for once.
Update: My honey told me to put this other disclaimer in: " You really need to have someone show you how to do this process", or any other process.

New order came in:
Ordered 2 gr, got a lil' bit more, thats always good
Product came as 2 bigger pieces and a small piece, all the pieces were off white and very hard, no crumbles here, all snaps
Smoke is clean, very little residue, potency was a bit better than last time
Very more-ish, keeps you coming back for more,
Overall Kalonji rock is hard and smoke is clean, potency can be an issue but value on the dollar (or BTC) is damn good

I know you rock smokers like a bowl of the green stuff every once and a while!. Kalonji's green is just that, green (not brown), with a slight stickiness to the touch and a consistency of mostly flowers, rather than sticks and seeds. I took out my sample bag and crumbled some of the buds into a pile. After a roll and a tuck, my girl and I were ready to toke up the nice, fat blunt I had rolled, all while she was none the wiser as to the crazy low price I had paid on the sample.
Some commercial bud leaves you zombified, with less of an articulate high than some dank strains, and/or can give you a headache after smoking it. Kalonji's bud on the other hand, produces a nice, relaxing high with a good taste and no crash afterwards. Puff after puff had me lying on my bed as a sense of content came over me, a warm, fuzzy body high perfect for falling asleep to. It's the kind of high perfect for starting or ending your day as it won't completely mindfuck you, although I did believe I was Snoop Dogg from the "This Weed is Mine" music video for a second at one point. This quality of reggie is also cheaper on the Road than it would be for me in real life, which is always a good thing.
To Kalonji, stay safe brother! Your packaging is quite professional- security and profit are just as important as one another in this game, but you already know that.
To everyone else reading, keep on doing what you do and stay safe. As a medinal smoker and recreational drug user I pass no judgement onto other users, just please retain the mental sharpness to know how to conduct yourself in a warzone! (the drug-war zone)
-
I hear you, I can get brick for 80/oz that we call "pancake weed" around here, flattened with copious amounts of stem and seeds. Kalonji's quality of reggie around here costs 120-150 by the ounce, depends if you get that extra middleman or not.
-
Another successful order from Kalonji! Communication is chart topping high! I received a sample of the bud, it is worth the price. It is far from brown, decent mid grade smell, it's just not lime. Anyone looking for some decent regular weed for a reasonable price should scoop some up. As for the 3 grams of hard I received, that's a different story. The last order received was tremendous as previous posts state. The batch received this time was soft and mushy, although it still was effective. It took a lot more than before to get you where you wanted to be. Many crumbs and a few small chunks, all in all I'm happy but I know K can do better. Thanks for another pleasant transaction!

Warning to all. I've been waiting for over 10 days for an order from Kalonji. He is not replying to messages and I notice he is asking for more FE than before. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt but want everyone to be cautious at the same time.

Thanks Kalonji. I'm not saying anything bad - I'm just trying to relate the facts that I've seen so people can make good decisions about their own circumstances. You've been good so far but this time I've been a bit surprised by your lack of communications. That's never been a good sign in my experience. I'm glad to hear from you.

All is good. I recommend you communicate a little more consistently but you lived up to your end of the bargain. Thanks dude!

I was feeling the same, but he got back to me as well. I was not waiting 10 days! He is usually very prompt with messages. Almost always replies within a few hours and definitely within 24 hours. Tremendous communication from this guy. I'm guessing it's cause of the holiday. Shit is just hectic everywhere during holidays. Anyway I was a couple dollars short (literally) and he said he would still pull through for me. So I'm hoping all goes well. This is the ultimate trial of trust. I can't even leave feedback anywhere but here on the forums. I feel pretty good about the situation. Kalonji has been true to his word so far in this adventure. I look forward to leaving a prompt review after arrival. It's a larger order, so I'm anxious to see how this all pans out! I'll keep the forums posted.

Just an update. Today I noticed that Kalonji went into stealth mode and removed all listings (why Kalonji?). 12 hours ago this was not the case. I don't know if he's dry right now or what. I do know a lot of people FE in the most recent 2 pages of feedback (which is not visible anymore). I hope all is well, I am still waiting on my order. I'm sure a lot of others are too. Anyway, with all listing gone, no one can place another order. So either all packages will be shipped or the dreadful thought of running away with everyone's coin is happening. He's been honest so far in this journey, so I don't want to doubt him yet. There are plenty of orders placed in the past 10 days that were FE. Where are all the reviews of these orders? Have they been received? I will keep the forums updated on my voyage.

I wish I was in escrow! Over 400 bucks of mine floating in his pocket. I'd hate to loose it! I've been waiting 7 days, with minimal responses to messages. Last response to message was 3 days ago. I'm hoping to get some kind of answer on the situation. I'm beginning to get that "gut" feeling. Even though he assured me I'm "safe", as stated above. I'll keep the forums up-to-date so people can be aware. The thing that throw me off is the stealth and listing removal plus no communication. Just not good signs...

i put in the first 4th july order. he said it would ship the 5th.
messaged him 8 hr before he went stealth, still unread.
he did say somewhere he was going on vacation this month, guess we funded it.
-
ALWAYS stay in ESCROW if you have more than a sample ordered. NO MATTER WHAT THE VENDOR TELLS YOU.
When I was ordering for Gloria the last time a few weeks back, Kalonji asked me by pm if I would FE if he picked up the overnight shipping and again reminded me of his stellar feedback.
I flat out told him, I don't hang my money out on FE on 8balls and if he wants he could cancel the order and I reminded him of my stellar buyer stats. He said ok and sent it out overnight anyway.
But since Gloria didn't like the product and went back to cooking her own, that was the last communication. He never did come through on his promise to get some rocket fuel to make Gloria's face crooked.
Anyhow, it is odd that he went stealth without any communication to anyone. Hopefully you non escrow buyers will pull through all right, but I'm getting that bad gut feeling again. I'm out of this but I hope I'm wrong.
Stay in escrow guys for 1 order or a 100 orders, at least it gives you a chance.

I ordered 1 g from kalonji 20 days ago. He said I had to FE and so I did - he had good reviews. Never showed. I waited a long time before asking as I didnt want to bug and he said on his profile it may take a while. I asked 4 days ago if he sent it and he said yes. But, no show and I get deliveries here no problem. And, now he's gone dark. Not good.

man what a piece of shit, wish u would have said something sooner.

Sigh...the one thing that I think SR is bad at. Me having to wait 10 more days for resolution for a vendor who has obviously gone MIA. I vote for some sort of policy in these situations....anyhow. It does give me peace of mind to know I will be getting my coins back if he is obviously not sending orders...And more than 1 red flags has popped up around the same time. As everyone else has said...im getting that 'gut' feelings. I will update and if I don't get my package today. We pretty much know whatsup. I had to get burnt on 1 or 2 orders for me to learn to stay in escrow, and surprisingly for this reason I tend to gravitate towards new buyer's since people who have been established even for a few months, seem more likely to try and cut and run.
I propose SR tighten up on these vendors a bit with the finalization policy. The shipping and communication needs to be a bit more transparent, alot of times I think the buyer feels helpless in situations like this especially, and is a disparity that needs to be addressed. Unless we want to accept vendors setting up and cutting loose being the norm. And put a system in place that can help alleviate the incentive to pull these sort of things.

Nothing

Nothing again today, I am sorry for his loss but it is obviously in the chaos my package did not get mailed even though it was marked in transit. Something I noticed from my last order. He has not replied to any of my PMs yet either.
Via his vendor page. Already hit up SR support to see if I can go with another vendor I have had my eye on. Since kalonji's order is the last order I have tied up, with the longest time being in escrow. We will see but I am thinking positive thoughts.

In the year that I've been buying on SR, the first few months SR was great with responces and assistance.
Now you would be lucky to get a responce at all. Sr has succumbed to it's bean counter.
Why should they change policy now when they profit just as much on scammers as they do on legit vendors.
You're pretty much on your own on SR, so stay in escrow ( such as it is) and if you get a gut feeling, you're probably right.
It's the same feeling you get when the guy says "Gimme your dough and I'll be right back"
With that said I still have a 98.6% completion rate due to my gut feeling on over 60 transactions and 9 grand spent. That's completed transactions not product quality, that's another animal.
Good luck trying to change the policy, SR only changes policy if it gets them more beans.
Bikerbum
PS. For the 1000th time, whoever administrates this forum, clear out the damn upload folder so buyers can upload photos of the product they recieve so other buyers can compare that photo to what the vendor has posted.
I've purchased enough yayo on SR to see the change from what the vendor post's and what I recieve. That would put the brakes on vendor bait and switch tactics. But you guys are way to busy to clear out 1 lousy folder.
You must be, because I've been bitchin about this since the folder filled up last Christmas. Again, that's my experience with not getting any responce on this site either.

From my point of view, I feel your pretty much right on the money. I also will NEVER F/E EVER again! Lesson definitely learned! I want to know how many buyers money he stole. It had to of been enough to just up and leave with the riches! All I know is, NEVER AGAIN!
He still has not contacted me and I still have received NOTHING! Tomorrow morning when I check and it's not there, I then will 100% without a doubt believe it's not ever coming.

The better the rep of the vendor the more potential they have for the big scam. And they can come back as another vendor in the future quite easily - different than the real world. Tony went out of his way to build a good rep. He initially gave 100% refunds and did everything he could to build a sparkling reputation. I don't know if he planned on the scam from the beginning or it came to him later, but it doesn't really matter.
I don't believe Kalonji either. The fact that two big things in his life are the excuse causes me to question him even more. And even if they are both true doesn't excuse him for asking people to FE right before he knew he was going to disappear.
Just decline to go with vendors that require FE. It makes no sense.

he got me for $150

Yep, I ordered last week, should have been here a few days ago... was my second order with Kalonji but this time they asked that I FE.
Ever since I got burned with Toyotaman and Tony76 I stopped FE and if I am asked I just politely tell them I won't go out of escrow and hope they understand but if they don't, they can go ahead and cancel. Kalonji didn't cancel but I got a bad feeling about it and since it didn't show today, checked the forum and well, I guess it's not likely to show.
I just have to wait till resolve pops up I guess... this will likely be my first refund in over 70 orders (/sigh there goes my perfect stats).
Never finalize early, it's just not worth it, find another vendor.

Thankfully soon after contacting SR support I got my coins back and quickly scooped up a .75g of DarkMoon's ice. Got some weed samples from him earlier and it was spot on and stealth. Been a LONG TIME since i have had a meth deal come through on SR so im ready!

I am a vendor who dealt with kalonji with success a few times. I trusted him so that this last order we set it up that I was to receive my product on the day after independence day. I, like an idiot agreed to just send him my 15 btc from the account page and not make a custom listing with escrow. He told me it was sent out twice express and it never was . Then he disappeared for his family problems , that was ok....but Now that his listing are up and he is asking everyone to finalize early I'm starting to thing he might be scamming, he is not reading or responding to any of my messages and all his new orders are being asked to finalize early...It looks sketchy as fuck. I know Im an idiot for sending the btc no escrow but damn kalonji we had a good thing going. Dont turn scammer on us dude, please.
-
weird that he had a gpg key and now none on page.
making sales but not reading messages.
do not fe.

Here another thread pertaining to Kalonji. Figured I'd post this here in case anyone overlooked it. It's directly related to this forum thread. IN A NUTSHELL! DONT ORDER! AND PLEASE DONT FINALIZE EARLY!

I order a G from this wanker about 7 weeks ago...never showed up, settled with a 50 % refund + screws up my Buying stats. He had no DCN no proof. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS GUY.

Looks like his SICKLE CELL went to his brain. Typical.

Good riddance.

A common pattern with vendors that decide to retire is that they take their good rep and start asking everyone to FE. Usually that translates into a pretty good final week or 10 days worth of 100% profit for them before they ride into the sunset and disappear. Tony76 did it, VortexMilkMan did it. And Kalonji has done it. I'm sure there are others I haven't seen. All of them delivered many times and were reliable vendors for extended periods. Tony even issued 100% refunds when things got lost - he built a sterling rep.
Unlike the real world., they can come back with a new name at some point and they don't have any ding at all to their reputation like they would if they were local.
Good luck, but he has little to gain by coming back now.

Yeah, I remember Tony, Vortex, Mr.NiceGuy, Roscochicken and numerous others that anyone like us who has been here for the past year can remember.
This will always be the case with SR. It's a crap shoot when the vendor decides to go sour. that's why you newbie's and anyone else should never FE, .......................EVER.
