Think most of the gear off got off here has come straight out the bin

Was thinking about this yesterday. I started shopping here a few months ago because I had to stop growing my own. It was nice to know you were full organic, not bothering anyone, not causing any problems with your smoke. But because it's illegal here I am getting it from god knows where :(

Hi, old new vendor here. Before known as UKBUD before lost password?
All our weed comes from uk. Welcome to check our stock.

Another vendor, good luck.

Noble enough sentiment, but you do then start to ask about the potential human cost that put your shirt on your back and the potential inhumanity that put that sausage on your plate.
I get it that suffering in the drug chain is a big part of the ‘Just Say No’ argument but it’s hardly unique in mass consumerism. I guess growing your own is the way to go (and making your own clothes, going vegan etc)...just don’t have time.

I hear you pollypuff and agree whole heartedly, unfortunately I suffer from the inherent human disposition of only seeing the problems in things when they have affected you or someone close to you.

Yes, this issue is important to me. I don't want to potentially put money in the hands of violent gangs running shitty operations with human trafficking and modern slavery.

The best thing about LB for me is being able to buy DIRECT from legit, knowledgeable growers who care about what they are doing and are selling their own produce.

The vendors I've tried so far who most represent this spirit are:

UKCannaFarm - https://littlebiggy.org/viewSubject/p/4791333

GreenFinger - https://littlebiggy.org/viewSubject/p/4779547

There are others on here who do this, like ChronusBuds and British Bulldog. I have yet to try them, but it looks like they get v.good feedback too.

When a new indie grower like this joins LB comes along and gets noticed, there are usually multiple attempts to leave fake negative reviews. These can only be coming from some of the shadier vendors trying to force them off the items wall, or off the site completely - just ignore this kind of hate and show love to the decent biggaz!

I agree, I really don’t want to be part of a problem with the most simple answer (legalise it, but a conversation for another time).

Thank you for highlighting vendors you have researched, I will look them up.

If I may just add to your list of decent vendors, I have been using MKK2020 a lot and I believe they grow a lot of their own. The service is excellent to the point where I had a minor issue and they resolved it brilliantly.

Cheers

Love this comment, well said.

Thank you for the mention, Father Jack, PM me for a sample if you want to try, no problem.

Awesome, will do, ChronusBuds!

I'd do the same if it helped.

But I would take a guess that most vendors arnt growers themselves.

Thanks for your openness, I get the feeling most venders on here are genuine like yourself, but there is a dark side to this industry that are also in the business of people trafficking and slavery and there products should not reach the LB community.

goodonya

we need a decentralised testing solution. the last thing i want in my life is some twat with the authority to tell me if i can smoke weed.

Thanks Forestfire, My needs are not medical though, I just love to get high from time to time!

UPDATE: After receiving my first order and trying one of the wooden tips i said i was not keen on in the below post, i can now say they are not as bad as i was making out. I still prefer Ceramic, Plastic or Metal though, but having a Wooden piece would not put me off buying them. The question was asked which mouthpiece we prefer and i can only give my honest answer.

Hi there, i have not ordered with you before but i'm going to at some point this weekend, i have taken the last 2+ months off to kick the joints habit and i always said, when the time is right, vaping will replace joints outright for me, and that time is now. Vape carts are the only thing i will be looking at from now on.

In answer to your question about preferred barrel, my answer is any barrel that is not wooden, because wooden barrels are rubbish. They look good, but thats the only good thing i can say about them. They don't feel good on the mouth and they don't draw as well as plastic or metal.

They can also induce flashback trauma for anyone who has tried a Calishatter Vape Cart, who use the wooden barrels, because their vape carts are abysmal. I vaped 1/4 of it and threw it in the bin in disgust. You buy them once and you don't buy them again, that's how it goes with them.

Looking forward to trying out your vape carts.

i never new the calishatter carts were so bad, i got three of them, one is now not working and has turned black. im really bummed and not using that vendor again.

Hi axis_of_ elvis,

Oh wow, it did turn black like that? We had seen your post but could not figure out if it was that black from the start. Send us a message, maybe we can help you out mate.

My favs are the metal hourglass ones, but any apart from the bullets are fine with me :)
on a related note I've just discovered the Liberty X5 carts. Bottom intake holes so no wastage and adjustable airflow. Definitely the best carts I've used
Peace

I agree, the metal hourglass is definitely the best pick of the bunch for me.

wooden duckbills my fav personally !

No way did you get ripped off by MJ. I have used him for over a year and he is sound. Never any issue. The problem is with the delivery service, not MJ.

I'll vouch for MJ here, been using for nearly a year and have placed a good chunk of orders with no issues. The cunts are the people who have seized your package, not the ones who sent it.

The reviews they get are real (probably most from uk). Ive used them for over a year, i get my order next day and never had one package missing. Im sure they warn against buying from outside uk?

I appreciate the frustration but I can assure you they do NOT rip you off in any way, shape or form. If your product got seized, then there’s not a lot you can do. Randomly calling them cunts and stating they ripped you off without any context is fucking useless. Either keep quiet or explain the situation so people can make informed decisions in future.

I order from outside UK, never had any problems

wish i could say the same...they probly made simple mistake..or just lost in post..but yea gutted, was keen az to try

I really hope he doesn't change atomisers. I've tried them all and always continue to come back to MJ due to his atomisers.

Finished two cart this week with zero blockage, even when I'm down to the last few drops of distillate. The top air flow holes are also amazing.

I'm not discrediting your post, just my experience and opinion.

Dr Extracts posts all of his testing results on his stuff and I can confirm all his stuff is great

I’ve seen some vendors who specialise in extracts showing test results that check for synthetic cannabinoids and identification of the contents, I think it’s called narco check or something. Would be great if more vendors started doing this, would definitely put my mind at ease

You're right they need to catch up, it's 2021 already!

Friend
Let me tell you a bit from my journey, i started off with cbd , then progressed to source thc locally from some vendors who have a presence. I must say never felt any ill effects but like you its very difficult to say if there are any pesticides or any other noxious issue in the locally sourced Uk cart makers. We must admit these people are providing a beneficial public service to people like us or who are afflicted with things like arthritis who cant get this amazing compound in the UK.
Then i went to another vendor - very well respected to get carts from US - he has never let me down and his ratings show. The carts are 100% legit and i have even checked serial numbers to the manufactureres websites and it all checks out and yes no one can be sure but i would trust a bonafide company like SELECT or HEAVY HITTERS or FRIENDLY FARMS not to do this.
I must say these proper company carts packs a super punch and less goes a long way - i still get BUd sourced locally and maybe some edible oils from canada through a relative.
Not being disrespectful to anyones craft here and these people on biggy from the UK are all Artisans in my books but with carts i just prefer the bonafide company thing with edibles i source them from the UK SPAIN and from some people on biggy and its ok

The sun will properly shine when this becomes bonafide in the UK - hopefully Biden should pave the way and i think overall the stance of UK police to small amounts for consumption has softened

It’s pretty revealing that even in some US states that have legal weed they have banned carts! They can’t seem to get to the bottom of what’s causing the sudden health issues- some say it’s added solvents, even pesticides! Much debate was about soluble vitamin e used as a filler, but that all went quiet...

I wouldn't eat food from America and I wouldn't drink their water either.... something being legal in the US definitely doesn't make it clean or safe. They have a completely different idea of what that means compared to us on this side of the world.

Obviously it doesn't help that everything is illegal here but a lot of stoners have started putting WAY too much faith in US corps, which is a bit odd in itself lol.

I did read about the Vit-E issue (it was in reference to CBD carts) but I didn't realise that some legal states have banned carts even if they're produced with the proper safety and testing protocols. I have carts here and I'm too scared to vape them now!

ALL vape carts are getting a tough time in the US now. I don’t know if the mystery health issues with vaping are being used as a scare tactic because of the uplift in ‘kids’ taking up vaping and the packaging and flavourings which are arguably quite kiddy centric...

I though that too, where it's legal they need to think about marketing in a more adult and refined way like a nice bottle of wine or craft beer, rather than a fizzy drink approach.

I would like to see a cart with no terpenes. Inhaling unnaturally high amounts of terps can't be great either

The cookie... F's me right up every time!

lol'd at this

I've never had the luck of the MJ cookie after several orders, but I look forward to it's inclusion on a future order! Fingers crossed.

Otherwise - thank you for always being super legit. I've waited three weeks for a package to drop before and wasn't worried for a second. Really makes the sciatic pain that little more bearable without the need to smoke. Thanks dude.

I like the cookie alot it's the cherry on the cake but alas last two times no cookies gasp I was gonna enter mj for great British bake but now I'm not so sure but the cookie is nice : )

It was a nice edition for

Tbh im just jealous of the guy who got blown away lol

likewise. it really is the best

Are they back in ...?

Missed out on the cookie on the previous 2 orders. Hope the cannabutter is in process of being made. With that being said, i'd even buy it as an item if it was listed (but keep up including the free one) it's a great treat for our orders :)
Powerful stuff

They are strong - but that’s a good thing mate, getting something of that quality for free. Awesome doesn’t describe it. Now I know I just cut mine into quarters. Thanks for the good free stuff. I’ll be ordering some gummy bears and jerky tomorrow. Can’wait!

Lightweight lol i ate mine before work

Whoa that's impressive I'd of never got out the door even lol

Tbf i was meant to be off for covid-19 and got called in to save a contract for this company who needed work done

Lol id just got my package, licked up the cookie with a coffee...smashed some blueberry og shatter then sat with another coffee with a joint when i got the call...

“We need you in!”...

Me:

“Ehmmmm ahhhh phhhh you see its just...ah fuck im coming just give me twenty mins”


Three tins of monster i took, was good craic hehe

When you start to forget your words and just smile at people :)

Hats off to you man I think we could class that as heroic dose an not just the cookie talking

lol

Legend

Loved the free cookie, ate it along with two 60mg chews and two of your THC apple sweets. Had a great day! Wouldn't say it's as strong as this guy is making out though.

Maybe just not used to edibles, I can relate, first time in Amsterdam on hash cakes, WOW!

I've never had a bad experience with edibles thankfully but when I was there once I'd just checked into my hotel and went to use the lift. the doors opened and a woman who really didnt look the type was standing in front of me absolutely green and then collapsed. her husband started apologising before starting to laugh...... it can effect people in many diff ways hahahahahah

I loved it myself was a proper nice high =) another order in post so hoping theres another one in there haha. hope your all good and stay safe folks =)

thanks everyone for your responses, massive help!.
If I am understanding correctly then this is not a problem specific to Bitpanda but is because of the price of BTC causing exorbitant fees?
What I am still unclear about is why I am getting the 'wallet balance is too low' message before I input any amount to send at all. Is this message because my total BTC balance is too low (0.00128657 BTC -£44.50 atm) or is there a minimum amount threshold to send BTC and my send amount does not meet it? trying to pay around 0.0011 approx but never reach the stage to input the amount?
If the solution is just to buy another £25 worth of BTC then at least my options are clear and I can choose to buy but if I do that only to find that the reason is something different then I am in a worse situation and without my (eagerly awaited!) purchase.
I guess if the reason is just market volatility then there may be no point in contacting Bitpanda again (still no reply to my first contact last month).
Is it best to sit and wait a bit for BTC value to drop (if at all) or just bite the bullet, buy more BTC to make a purchase and swallow the high fees and total cost?
Any thoughts would be really useful to help me understand what's going on and get a good result. Cheers (sent 06/03/21)

0.0015 is the minimum you can send, this has never changed. But the value of BTC has gone up so now you can't buy anything less than about 70 dollars worth on here. I've had to change up how I order things, as half q's and vape carts are out the window now. Either LB starts allowing other crypto's or the vendors are going to lose out on sales, because not everybody can afford 7g minimum each time

I am having the same problems with Bitpanda at the moment. It is saying the balance is too low because there is a minimum spend of .0015, which is really expensive at the moment with the price of bitcoin. This is the minimum spend so you will need this amount in your account and you will need to spend at least that amount.
I have that in my account but the things I want to buy off here are not as expensive as .0015, its really annoying.

That explains my problem! Thanks for the info.
I have just over 0.0012 BTC in my wallet. I will have to top up £25 worth of BTC. The actual difference between my balance and the minimum balance/send amount is 0.0003 BTC (around £10ish). The item I am after is around 0.0012 so I may have to do what you did Smarty1 and just pay the vendor a bit extra to make up the amount to the minimum required. Could see it as a tip to vendor and to be fair they have been great generally so deserve it anyhow.
Only other option would be to buy larger amount but then total spend starts to get unaffordable. Also I had the experience of a delivery not arriving a few months ago, would be gutted to lose an larger order thru the post.
Probably go for the Smarty1 idea and pay vendor the extra 0.0003 BTC.
BTW Smarty1, where did you find out the minimum account balance/spend amount? I can only see min. withdrawal amount in BP info, does that count as a min SEND amount or should I be looking somewhere else?
Cheers,

Yeah its a bit annoying but if its a good vendor I don't mind. I was thinking it might change soon with the price of bitcoin increasing.

There isn't a minimum spend I can see in the T&Cs which is annoying and its only recently happening to me. Its when I am sending over bitcoin and and I type in anything under .0015, it says just below the box you are typing in that the minimum transaction is .0015.
Try setting it up as a test payment (without sending anything) and look just below the box.

I hope this helps.

If you want to check a fee pretend to go through with sending, pick your address (even tough your not sending) it will bring you to the next page where you can see the fee for sending at that time. I went to buy last week and had the same problem but to avoid it I had to send an extra 5 quid to the vendor as the transaction didnt meet minimum transaction amount. It should also tell you the minimum amount possible to send at that time. The more stable bitcoin is the better the fee will be if it is volatile the fee will also be volitile. Early hours of the morning seem best as less transactions are taking place at that time.

thanks for you reply.I think I tried your suggestion but I get the WALLET BALANCE TOO LOW alert before even inputting the amount to send.
Do you reckon that my BTC balance (0.00128657 BTC) is therefore too low to make any purchase and pay fees? looking to buy item total of 0.0012 but obviously send fees would be on top of that.
You mention a minimum transaction amount but I was unaware that there is one, is that stated on the Bitpanda website? I can only find minimum withdrawal amount, is that the same thing?
If the fees are very high atm then I can understand that my balance may not cover fees plus a minimum (£25?) send amount. Am I getting it right?
cheers buddy

Hi, the minimum you can send on bitpanda is 0.0015, not sure if this has already been suggested?

Yes I think there is a minimum amount you would need to send to complete the transaction. When mine failed it said the transaction was too low. So it then gave the minimum amount I would have to send if I wanted to send the money. I had to pay the vendor an additional 4 quid to bring it to minimum required to send.

thanks for your quick reply, my problem is that I don't even get to the stage of inputting an amount to send, the 'balance too low' message displays at the stage just before the level you describe so it must be for another reason unrelated to the amount I want to send.
I have seen the ' transaction amount too low' message you mention on previous buys and I solved the issue by topping up my BTC.
I can only guess that if fees are so high atm then they would eat up a big chunk of my BTC balance which would then fall below the minimum send amount thus triggering the 'balance too low' message before Bitpanda knows the amount I wish to send. In this case I guess the solution would be to top up my BTC balance, does that make sense?
many thanks

The fee right now is €2.50 and that is a really low fee man so you wont get better than that. I understand what your saying dude. Sounds like a fucking pain in the head.

Thanks for the heads up on current fees.Just tried a purchase, still getting balance too low message. Looks like the only option I have is to buy another £25 of BTC and see what happens. I'd be gutted if I get the same message and can't complete purchase but don't know what other option I have.
at this time my Balance is 0.00128657 BTC, the item I tried to buy is 0.001 BTC inc postage.Do you think the reason for the 'balance too low message' would be just due to fees? cheers

Bitpanda fee at £2 at 18:00

6/3/21

With Bitpanda the transaction fee doesn't depend on how much you're sending. It is based on how much activity there is on the whole bitcoin network at the time. I think the problem you're having is that the amount in your bitcoin wallet isn't enough to cover the £25 minimum plus whatever the transaction fee is right now. same problem for me… I currently have about £55 worth of BTC and I'm getting the same message as you, suggesting the transaction fee is above £30 currently.

So I'm waiting a week til payday and buying bulk. 6/3/21

yeah that makes sense to wait and also to buy in bulk.
My reserve stash is getting worryingly low but struggling with the thought of paying £30 fees for a £45 buy. I am having to accept that in current conditions it is too costly to buy a small order, don't want to get 7g or more in one go but it is actually the most sensible option economically. Either that or be more Zen about it and accept that I will run out and just wait for better conditions (sounds horrific to me !!). If I do that the one advantage of a break is the massive hit I'll get when I do have a puff after!

Had this problem the other day trying to order edibles. They had a minimum withdrawal amount of £45 worth of BTC.

Hope you get it sorted Brother.

hi Dopedad, thanks for your response,
can I ask, when you say 'they had a minimum withdrawal amount of £45 worth of BTC.' was it with Bitpanda and if so is that a general rule of theirs (that I missed before)? If that is the case then just topping up might be my solution,
cheers mate. (sent 06/03/21)

Yeah it was bitpanda brother. They seem to make it up as they go along.

Got myself an electrum wallet and send my monthly weed budget to that at the start of the month. And you get to set your own fees.

Same for me. There’s no real idea of the fee until the transaction. Last one I did was a lot higher for fees than before. In fairness it does warn you of any possible shortfall when fees are taken into account but I’d agree entirely that you don’t know what the fee will be. Three or four transactions have been very low fees but I’ve had to ‘top-up’ by £25 at least twice which is a bloody nuisance. It’s all a bit of a mystery!

The fee just went down to £2. But now there's seems to be a higher minimum transaction amount?!

Bulk buying from now on I guess

I’ve just signed up with Coinbase saved at least £15 in fees compared to the site I was useing before on a $120 order very happy and sign up was very quick and easy

does the sign up process for Coinbase require the passport ID registration etc and the video confirmation like on BITPANDA?
many thanks

Ye I had to send a pic of passport no video confirmation and I was verified within 2 hours and honestly can’t believe how much cheaper it is defo recommend :)

coinbase sounds easy to register with and seems like a good option, what I would like to do is set up a coinbase account, send my BTC from Bitpanda to a coinbase wallet and make a purchase paying the vendor from my coinbase wallet. I'm quite new on crypto so not sure if this is possible. will look into it. thanks

I would never ever recommend using Coinbase to buy your BTC, it’s by far and away one of the most expensive for fees etc, avoid like the plague. Not sure how it compares to Bitpanda as never used it but Coinbase is not cheap at all.

thanks TK42 for your advice. I guess for the moment I'm stuck with Bitpanda at least until I've made a purchase unless there's a way to set up a wallet hosted somewhere else, move my BTC there and buy from there. Not sure if doing so would save me any money this time round and sounds like a hassle.
Once I've ordered my item I'll come back here to get advice on using a different exchange.
Changing exchange may not reduce fees, not sure and don't know enough atm to know exactly what to do.
thanks everyone

Ye I think you should be able to do that. Crypto is a mind fuck been at it over a year n still don’t completely get it lol. Good luck

Hi again folks,
sorry to keep banging on about the same thing, really appreciate all the help and suggestions so far,
I currently have 0.00128657 BTC in my BTC wallet in Bitpanda. trying to make a purchase here that totals 0.0012 BTC. Keep getting the 'wallet balance too low' before even inputting amount.
Feeling frustrated at not being able to make purchase, is the best course of action to simply buy another £25 worth of BTC?
If I understand correctly is this message from Bitpanda due to very high fees that would eat up the majority of my BTC wallet balance taking me below a minimum send amount?
Have found it hard to understand info on Bitpanda site regarding minimum withdrawal, is this the same as minimum send amount (which is not quoted on info page)
Just don't want to buy more BTC to find that the problem is unrelated to my balance.
sorry to repeat my questions just trying to understand the best course of action. many thanks

Current minimum bitpanda transaction is 0.0015 btc so you'll need to order $75 of product. On the plus side fees were only £2 (12 pm 8/3)

Ye I’d top up abit more. I think the 0.0012 won’t include bipandas sending fees probably you don’t quite have enough

thanks for your advice, I think that's the only option I have. as you say bevbevan1, my account probably is just a few pounds short to cover a purchase plus fees and meet the minimum send amount, didn't really want to buy the BTC right now but I know I would change my mind if I run out, wish I could be chilled enough to just run out and not stress about it but the closer I get to running dry the less I worry about spending the money, not good I know but it seems to keep me on an even keel! I smoke so little (about 3.5g every 6 weeks or so) so feel ok about it, works out about £1/day as I calculated it, that's how I justify it to myself anyhow!
cheers everyone

Hi Forestfire,

we would love a full test too. Ones we can provide this we will. The 50% is more an estimate. We were able to test that the pure rosin had 73.6% THCa.
This was with our own testing equipment. We didn't add that much falvourless terps, but after adding this and also decarbed it. Our testing equipment could not test it anymore. So it is watered down but hard to tell by how much.

Ones we know an address where we can test safely we would love to know our selfs

Thanks, I will look into it.

Can someone explain to me please, old codger here. I’m a member of another cannabis community and they go mad for these kind of vapes. Granted they are not by this seller but people pay serious money for friendly farms and suchlike.

Hi Raskolnikov,

Rosin carts are still a niche in the market and maybe it will stay that way. The reason we are trying this because we were wondering our self's: Why don't you see rosin and rosin carts more in the market. Even in the US not that many either but there are some very exciting companies out there like you mention. Blue River Terp is also doing some really cool stuff.
I think there are two factors in play here.
It is very hard to keep the cannabinoids on a consistent level in a large production environment. I think that is why so see a lot more distillates concentrates in carts.

Second is the whole discussion if you should put rosin in carts in the 1st place. Rosin is the only true solvent less concentrate out there compared to a lot that are solvent free. You can not put rosin directly in carts, you are going to need some kind of cutting agent, liquidizer terpenes etc in it, to make it less viscous. Too a lot of rosin purist's: that defeats the purpose of making rosin if you start adding stuff to it.

I agree that dabbing rosin will be the best taste experience but it can be messy and is has no stealth. A vape cart is super convenient and has much better stealth.

I just compare it to making espresso. You can grind your own beans and all that beautiful stuff. Or you choose a Nesspresso machine. Maybe not as good, but a lot more convenient. We are very curious too if people will like it. Time will tell :-)

Thanks for the explanation mate. As I said I know a lot of people who love these, not your brand but live rosin carts and they seem to think they are the future. Apparently they taste way better than a solvent cart but I suppose that’s to be expected as solvents are not exactly harmless.

Depends on the ratios but you will take advantage of the entourage effect for sure

Hi Daniels,

That is correct. Although there is some discussion within the industry if Rosin is full spectrum and some call it broad spectrum. But you get a lot more cannabinoids then with for example distillate. And the natural terpenes too.

I hope this anwsers your question.

Thank you, I'll take the plunge and order one now!

I've sent you a wee message regarding payment issues (for any potential customers reading this, it isn't the sellers fault)

Can confirm it's a lovely tasting cart!

Very smooth, can confirm with great flavor and effect

Google the strain and it will tell you mate, we can't fit much more on case. More info puts cost up too MJ

Cheers - will add to my order and provide feedback. What was the rationale in trailing a new distillate?

Hi we got this from our supplier who said it was a smoother strain so we thought we'd see what it's like and then give you guys the final say MJ

Well I got my cart and am happy with the high. To truly test the smoothness I’d have to compare against a flavour I was familiar with - I’d never had apple fritters before. But it is smooth (I use Amigo middle voltage setting)
Def no complaints from my perspective.
Great work as always....

My order is in and await the postman. Will keep you posted (no pun intended)

Noted. I’ll chuck one in and let you know my thoughts.

don’t take more then 5 drops

Thanks so much guys :)
