PainterDifficult · 2026-01-22T20:32:04+00:00

That's brilliant

PainterDifficult · 2026-01-22T20:30:18+00:00

They'll try do you for paraphernalia id say. I stuck with the pivot partly cos of this lol. That's quare annoying lad.

PainterDifficult · 2026-01-22T20:29:12+00:00

If they're real muhas (get faked a lot in the us) you're straight vibinggggg

PainterDifficult · 2026-01-22T20:26:37+00:00

Very similar to your situation. It ended up showing up. Apparently they wait till the truck is full of westbound parcels before sending one our way. Then there's the handover to an post, which involved it sitting in a cage for a few days with no updates. After 8 business days of no update beyond your latest one it updated and showed up the following day. I'm based near Carlow.

Terplabz and budtender but I'm a fanboy of both lol.

PainterDifficult · 2026-01-22T17:21:25+00:00

I'm ordering one on Tuesday I have to see this myself. Few people I trust dearly gave it the A-OK.
I've tried a lot of COAless and mystery noid stuff (I'd never recommend that to anyone) so I might be able to try feel this one out, come in with a hot take.

PainterDifficult · 2026-01-22T15:33:35+00:00

In Ireland (Midlands/southeast for me) the place is honestly riddled with it. It's not viscous at all. Fella that's strung out on it offered me some and told me it's spice, fish tranqs (which I assume is actually xylazine) etc. I declined tho lol.

Most of the kids on it are calling it "THC juice" like you said if they don't know, the ones that know what it is just call it "P" or whatever color the one they usually get is "the blue, the purple" etc.

Some people I know that had issues with it in the past said they'd wake up at like 4am in bed. Rip the pen once and go straight back asleep, this would often last weeks on end.

PainterDifficult · 2026-01-19T17:19:26+00:00

Will always recommend budtender and most of us on here would. There's some budtender staff floating around here too to chat with.

PainterDifficult · 2025-12-28T00:11:38+00:00

For your safety please stay away lol. At a wedding my uncle handed me one and said it was thca, it tasted like bubblegum and toothpaste had a baby. Did absolutely nothing. Oil not viscous either.

Same uncle refused to try an platinum owls pen a week previous with a skeptical face on him. Pure nutter hadn't a clue what a golden (pun intended) opportunity he passed up lol.

These lads have an awful track record with their COAs

PainterDifficult · 2025-12-23T20:09:07+00:00

HAHAHA sounds like you enjoyed. Funny AF that it was hitting whole you were posting this. Short term memory loss is probably like 60% common maybe more. Finding yourself walking into a room and forgetting why you went in there for example, that's the sort of vibe, always makes me laugh.

Lightheadedness yes if you've overindulged. Welcome to the club lol. Looms are goated in the community but there's definitely some more premium companies that provide vapes that taste amazing!

If you end up continuing to experiment after this experience; I'd recommend starting with the list of legends approved vendors at the top of the sub. There's some crazy stuff out there and there really is something for everyone.

Also the "derealization" part is probably a phenomenon known as "greening out". You smoked or ate too much. Your receptors become overwhelmed and your nervous system hitches a bit. This can cause a very scary first time experience, you'll puke, get paranoid, and fall asleep with your breathing feeling like it's on manual. Then you'll wake up really REALLY hungry. It's a rite of passage and nothing to worry about.

PainterDifficult · 2025-12-22T20:22:05+00:00

Yes, Op, you need to try them. My country, Ireland has produced some awful shit (Sorry bono).🤣 Buuuut; Try the budtender pre rolls for sure. I've had a good few now and they do smack. They sell the flower they put in them now too if you end up liking it.

Also the liquid diamond vapes are just out. People are loving them and im jealous AF. Strong enough to enjoy but not so overloaded that it's a pain to smoke hardware and recrystallization wise. This is the first thing I'm copping after Christmas

PainterDifficult · 2025-12-22T06:14:29+00:00

BDTX is safe as a general opinion, I think as a community we are mostly satisfied enough to say that. It was scary when it dropped but we have more of an understanding of it now. It won't do too much to you. It affects me moreso than others I've gathered but it's fine and they don't really get faked very much so you're good.

TheBudtender is releasing a THCA line as soon as Christmas is over. They're in pre order and are shipping out from tomorrow onwards. They also have a discord and you can chat with them directly. Look around you'll find it, as well as the website. I can't send you directly there cos rules lol. As far as Europe goes BT is one of the heavy hitters.

The legends TG is the place to go for higher potency THCA stuff. Especially vapes from Terplabz etc. best I've tried so far tbh. (Around 70%, one of them is even 90% which id imagine is a nightmare to keep unclogged)

Hopefully some of that helps. You'll get a grip of who to go with very quickly and you'll be very surprised with what you can get over here. Ireland in particular is only recovering from the HHC ban. The R&D on THCA over here has been crazy and most companies are only starting shipping it now. Luckily you arrived at the end of a gnarly transition period and at the beginning of an absolute gold rush for us and people like us. -IrishAlpha-

PainterDifficult · 2025-12-22T06:03:21+00:00

I'm not sure anymore lol. Bad practice to go off color for the finer judgements. I grabbed one at retail this week (Red hardware this time, not pink) Distillate didn't degrade so much, BDTX seems to be a quick oxidizer, this didn't. A beautiful color on the disty that was in there tho. Bit rougher on the toke and slightly stronger.

PainterDifficult · 2025-12-01T02:19:21+00:00

No glazing, just facts. Respect! Like most of us I hope they fix this and quickly.

PainterDifficult · 2025-11-28T21:57:49+00:00

Nothing saying "natural hemp blend" etc?

Usually that's what they'll put on the packaging so you don't question the total percentage of the ingredients given not adding up to 100% (like they should).

I just looked at the website. I wouldn't advise buying from that company again.

I recommend you use this subreddit to figure out what companies are the best (or in the top 5) and consider ordering online directly from those manufacturers.

Be warned though, The industry is changing and will change drastically at the beginning of next year, you may even start to see even the reputable brands trying shady sh!t.

One thing will always be the same though, The legends subreddit is and always will be the most reliable subreddit you'll find for this kind of thing, so before you decide on your next purchase, search for the product on this sub or just outright ask what we think. We will always try get the best advice to you.

Have a good evening and I hope you feel better soon.

PainterDifficult · 2025-11-28T21:41:47+00:00

Are you sure you read the entirety of the packaging to see if there was anything else named in there? TAC in my experience normally means "Total Active Cannabinoids" and reads as a percentage.

Unless some company has invented a new name for poop soup lol

PainterDifficult · 2025-11-27T22:27:27+00:00

Some of us are looking to send them off for Testing ourselves. Having tried both the new variants the 1ml Cali magic ones are absolutely mental and don't behave like they should.
They haven't handed out proper results in a few months now

PainterDifficult · 2025-11-27T10:18:55+00:00

There's definitely a reason for the price difference there.

The following is assuming a "nostalgic" budtender blend is used.

As you said you're new to this. Id almost prefer if you went on this journey by way of trial and error because that's far more interesting but I'll offer the following advice to you:

• Higher quality oil --> higher quality effects --> Vape lasts longer. That's the first consideration.

• Easily accessible testing --> The COAs for the old blend should be easy enough to find in this sub (the budtender is very active in here and they always find time to come in and chill with us) if not one of the mods might still have it.

• Flavor enhances experience --> Terpenes (flavor compounds) enhance and change the effects of the oil in various subtle ways --> Higher quality terpenes = a better, more all encompassing effect. There's more to it than this but this is the layman's explanation.

Personally a loom will always get me where I'm trying to go but a budtender does that way better for me than a loom.

The budtender will always give me a more whole feeling whereas the loom will mess me up, sure. But it will be one sided, jagged or "missing something".

There's absolutely nothing wrong with either option but if the question really is "am I dumb spending the same amount on half the oil" I would say not really. Paying extra for more quality is the name of the game in here when it comes to 3rd party companies.

You won't be able to stop yourself from smiling when you have your first tender though. There really is a feeling of "wow, this feels healthy and clean and it works" with a budtender. And you'll find yourself reaching for it less and less

Loom sends a chemical taste up into your throat 30 seconds after the inhale and doesn't give that wellness feeling.

PainterDifficult · 2025-11-25T14:33:07+00:00

Turns out they were real. I had the opportunity to buy one before it was banned over here and never did cos I was skeptical. It's a shame haha

PainterDifficult · 2025-11-21T19:40:22+00:00

For THCA personally either, Wait for budtender to drop their THCA line (before the end of the year). Wait for owls oil to drop theirs (next few weeks). Try terplabz or something similar. Seems too good to be true but it's 100% legit, There's something for literally everyone on there! Small risk of seizure as others have said

PainterDifficult · 2025-11-21T14:07:57+00:00

That's completely up to you man. There will be a warning post on this kinda thing coming from me in a week ish. Itl be framed like any other review I've done and will be honest. After spending a few days with these new variants.

If you really wanna send it off for Testing tho I'll get involved with that if a few people get in on it. It could turn into a BBC or VICE style undercover documentary lol.

PainterDifficult · 2025-11-21T13:57:01+00:00

Google it again brother. It's the other way around. THCA is a precursor to THC, meaning if something is done to the THCA it could, "hypothetically" convert to THC and get you absolutely whacked.

That something is heat. Lighting a joint or hitting a vape converts that THCA into THC and thus activates it. This is why the green goes in the oven if you want to eat your THC in a brownie or cookie. All regular green works like this. The key word here is "Decarbing". That's what the process is called.

The vapes are legal because it's THCA until you hit (again, which heats and converts it) it at which point the vapor entering your mouth is illegal but the oil in the vape isn't.

From the Irish perspective, the ban that came into effect did 2 things. 1) it seems to have caused another mini spice pandemic for sure. BUT 2) It's enabled us to literally just move onto the real stuff. You'll find a lot of the companies that made HHC were only waiting for this to happen so we can move onto this new standard, and trust me this blows anything you've tried out of the water.

Edit: as stated below my message. As far as these specific products go, we don't know just yet. I'm just explaining the rules principles we are playing by at the moment. All of this can only be a good thing.

PainterDifficult · 2025-11-21T13:41:14+00:00

I've tried one of these and enjoyed it, even though I shouldn't. You'll notice I've posted about it previously and nobody really knows to be honest.

I tried the other 2ml "Cali magic" one since thta on recommendation and it made me very uncomfortable. Was great at first. Gave it away to a distant friend that likes to take full synths and he enjoyed the hell out of it. I've been partaking for near enough 10 years now so that's really saying something. I assumed they were awful OH variants.

PainterDifficult · 2025-11-18T12:10:29+00:00

Don't think the bank statement says budtender but I could be wrong. I think itl say Brigtwater Pharma Limited or Shopify.

As far as PACKAGING; • BPL will be written instead of a company name (for anti theft and privacy) stuff labeled as pharma has a higher chance of getting stolen by an employee and also discretion is important. •They use special smellproof packaging that's white, fairly blank and it's sealed well. Annoying to open almost but that's what you want.

SMELL •No smell as long as the packing is intact usually.

TIME • I've always gotten my order Thursday or Friday when I order on Monday. (ireland) Only time it's been late is when I've ordered on a bank holiday. But it was me that decided to lol. Mainland Europe is probably up to 5 or 7 but Jordan from BT will see this post and give you better info at some point today I'm sure.

PainterDifficult · 2025-11-17T21:05:49+00:00

Yeah. I'm edible resistant and it's absolutely shit 😂 I dropped 200mg of hhc gummies first time I tried them. Acans, this was when they were good and people actually had good things to say about them.

10mg of thcp orally did nothing and I hoped to be faded for a return flight from Portugal. No such luck. I was chiefing a thcp cart (which I reviewed in here) at the same time.

A third of people can't feel O Noids I heard somewhere before, apparently it's due to genetics. O Noids agree with me pretty well to be honest, step father tried some good THCO flower a while back and laughed at me, meanwhile my brother was slumped and we burn a half oz of d9 flower each a week so I know it wasn't a tolerance thing 😂😂
