Spore syringe vendors, dud spores

Hello Shroomery Community!
How often do you guys get "dud" spore syringes?
SWIM tried out GT and B+ from spores101, and any jars SWIM has inoculated hasn't shown any activity (contam nor myc) in over two weeks. SWIM followed the PF tek closely and SWIM doesn't think he's made any major errors in the procedure. SWIM is trying another vendor now after giving up on my first two syringes. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I've never used them for syringes or anything for that matter. So I cannot relate. I can say that I've been seeing a lot of these type of comments concerning spores101 lately. My suggestion is try out ralphstersspores.com. Ralph is an uber cool dude and super helpful when you deal with him. I've been buying syringes from him for almost 8 years now off and on and have never had a problem.

i will testify that spores101 is all crap. before i knew about the shroomery and ther sponsors, i used 101. i never got half the things i ordered, all the syringes are actually B+ with different labels, and rarely did they work (prob very old), tho after i got fruits, the spores were normal. the tek and Kit i got from them was terrible and 30 years old.

Never ever order from spores 101. Very slim chance of receiving a good syringe. I prefer Mycrotopia. $10 each shipped, full of spores.

Nobody here uses swim or similar acronyms.
Spores101 is a known scam site. Order from a trusted vendor. Being a sponsor for the shroomery is a privilege. Vendors who sell junk and have bad customer service will not be allowed to become shroomery sponsors and if at some point they stop providing quality services they will be removed.
I personally recommend sporeworks as one of the top choices for spores and growing supplies. Mention you're a shroomery member and they'll usually throw in a freebie :-D

yeah, that 4 syringe special is good shit. the hawks pricing get's pretty good when you order around 7 and more.
if you want to get into edibles, you should really check out this new vendor mushroompeople.com. for 20 bucks you can get a spawn bag of any gourmet mushroom. The bags come to you ready to start fruiting within days. It's really neat.

I find it amazing that people have such low class and lack of respect on this site!! There is no reason to bash any spore or mycology supplier. These are people that had the balls to start this whole mushroom revolution!! They started out the same way as all of us, right at the bottom!! And they had the kindness not only to spread the knowledge of the science and promote it, But they offer all of us products that are very hard to obtain!! While constantly being watched by big brother!! They deserve respect!! And This is not an exact science as we all should know. Mistakes are made,There is always room for error and it usually happens! With all of us! But I know without a doubt these spore vendors always correct there mistakes with there customers. There running a reputable business, not a shady street corner operation!

I've only used Sporeworks -- all of my purchases have been top-notch and speedily delivered. They doubled my order (for free!) for my first mycological purchase and they won me over.

You really should learn not to use "SWIM" when at the end of the post you make it clear that it is you (see part of your post that I have put in bold).
Now onto the MS syringes....I to lately have been reading some bad things about spores101.com and my advice to you is to start using the forum vendors.
Ralphsters is the only place I have gotten spores from back when I first started growing BITD and is who I'll be going with this time around.
Checkout the forum vendors,see which ones have the "strain" you want and order.

Bullshit. Check out this thread: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/12304534#12304534
They didn't start any kind of "revolution" How about Mr. PF himself? JLF, Homestead Books? Ever heard of them? They were around long before sorry ass Spores101. Spores101 is just another one of the many half-ass vendors out there peddling subpar merchandise. They were also recently busted by the RCP. I'd stay FAR away from them.

I'm not sure I like the tone and if you found a site with higher class then you should go there.

I made my first order from spores101. Every jar got contamed. Originally i figured it was just my sterile procedure, but i got myc growth unfortunately only 1/30 jars struggled through the contams. After nearly 6 weeks of colonizing a 1/2 pint it began to pin in vitro. I dunked and rolled, fruited and 7 days later had 2 mushrooms weighing 40 grams fresh. Got 2 nice purple tinted prints and a decent trip.
Prints i have received from users and turned into syringes on my own in more questionable circumstances have colonized jars in 2 weeks, and therefore i can to some degree question the product received. I never made any complaints just because i had better spores to work with then what i would receive any how. Saying this though, the product i received did indeed produce mushrooms, be it a very disappointing amount and quality. Made the noob experience a lot harder and londer than it needed to be.
Definately going with sporeworks for my next order.
