Spores101 and sporeworks

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about spores101 and the quality of their syringes. I ordered anyway... When I got my syringe it looked totally empty, as some other people said theirs looked as well. I put it under my microscope and had a very hard time finding any spore samples. When I did, there were very few.
I decided to post a negative review on shroomtalk. After I did, they deleted my post and said that my claim didn't seem valid. (sure this was the first post I made after creating my account) and they asked me for an order number to prove that I was a customer. They also suggested that I should have contacted customer service before contacting them, but I didn't think that they could do anything, since they don't have a minimum or maximum number of spores that should be included.
I provided them with my order number, and they responded back right away explaining that they did recently lower the number of spores that appear in syringes but not to the extent that I claimed. They said they will be shipping me a new spore syringe right away.
Just to be sure, I ordered a syringe from sporeworks last week. Currently, I don't have either of the new syringes.
Once the new syringes come in the mail, I will post the difference in quality on this thread. I hope sporeworks can get it right the first time around. But I do appreciate the customer service from spores101.

Um....the number of posts a person has doesn't reflect their intelligence, only the number of times that they've posted on this specific website. What are you trying to imply?

I never said they were the best. I'm very skeptical myself and I am just giving credit where it's due. For their customer service and willingness to send me another syringe. I did order from sporeworks however, and like I said, I'll post an objective review of the two syringes.

Well, my syringe for sporeworks just arrived. I ordered one syringe of their choice. It's FILLED with spores. Literally, there is a huge purple cloud in the syringe. Not only that, but I also mentioned that I'm a shroomery member, and they also doubled my order! Not only that, but they gave me two syringes with different stains in them! Holy shit I'm happy! They sent me Ecuador and chitwan. I'm certainly a customer of theirs for life.
I will, however, place another post on this thread describing the quality of the syringe that I receive from spores101 later this week.

Often times syringes that appear empty are really not. The visible spore clusters are more than 100,000 spores each.
The only way to know is to test them. (edit: or actually look under the microscope)
More spores does not necessarily = better
Good job ordering from a sponsor though! Good luck with the microscopy

If you reread my first post, you'll see that I only put them under the microscope. And yea...they were still hard to find.I'd say out of 25 tries on the microscope I only found two. I know it's hard to believe, but I say it's true!
So yea....I when it's a case of microscopy use, more spores is always better in my opinion.

Hey guys, I'm new to this site, but i bought spores from spores101 back in February, and it was returned to sender because i messed up my address. I fixed it on their website immediately, and since then i've tried to contact spores101 in every possible way, their website, their help 'tickets', but have gotten no response. Any help or suggestions on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Pete

Go to their forum shroomtalk.com and post on their sponsor report forum just like the one here. DO NOT give the order number to anyone but the site GM. Also, once you get a refund or a replacement, order from one of the sponsors here, they're great as you can see in my thread here.
Remember, I paid 10 dollars for "their choice" syringe and got two syringes of different species!

Glad to hear you had a good experience.

Please don't bother... we really don't need another Spores101 review. we have plenty of those already. besides they aren't a Shroomery Vendor and this forum is for Shroomery Vendors.

My experience with spores101 was awful. i ordered a syringe of alacabenzi because of its resistance to contaminants, not that i wasnt operating in a sterile environment (i've grown a few times before with great results). i nocced the jars and...NOTHING. all the jars, except one, didnt even germinate, and the jar that did germinate did so in one place. i am very dissatisfied with them and feel like i've been ripped off, i know shit happens and i've heard good things about spores101, but i emailed them a week ago and still havent gotten a response. and yes, i WAS careful in the way i worded things...

Just stick with sporeworks. I ordered a couple weeks ago from spores101 (this is what I get from reading REALLY old threads), and didn't realize they had been very poor as of last year. Knocked up a few jars, each and every one got contaminated within 48 hours.
Not gonna bother getting a new syringe from them, that one will most likely be contaminated as well.

Please don't discuss cultivation in this forum...
Our Vendors/Sponsors only sell spores for microscopic research.
If you wanna discuss cultivation/growing please use our Mush Cult forum...
