I think i got ripped

I know they arent a shroomery sponsor, but i ordered from Sporestore before i knew about this site, and i know (now) that they arent a sponsor and i have read nothing but horror stories about them. So if they come in are they even worth trying? im only asking because most of the bad posta are really old, so maybe they improved, but im leaning towards SCAM. Anyone RECENTLY had success with this shit hole?
And please, everyone refrain from telling me shit that i already know (i.e they suck, only use sponsors etc.), hindsight is always 20/20

If you have the opportunity to order from a sponsor, why wouldn't you?

Slightly confused by this. Is this to test for spore viability? And what procedure does this entail? BTW Doc T, you have been really helpful to me on all my posts, and i appreciate that!

Sorry, I was trying to hint, didn't realize you're so new. Yeah, agar lets you test your spores and clean up a culture if needed. RR has a video on it and there's lots of threads and info too.
Your syringes might be ok, who knows? But I wouldn't bet on it.

This doesnt make sense. Last 2cc of what, and if things go south how would this give me back up???

2 mL of spore solution is a huge amount, never shoot that much into any jar. A few drops is all you need.

BTW if anyone wanted to sent me a print out of pitty that would be awesome~ cough cough haha

LC is always sketchy. In a case like this, it's certain failure. I won't say it again.

if you get a big black blob of spores in your syringe..do your jars to tek..save a little.do your lc. you will be glad you did. i did not ,by any means,say use ???able spores,if that was not clear .sorry. i did some karo with some spore at the start...still have plenty.my brf cakes take 12 -14 days.lc to grains got my master jars for g2g..did good for me.i now have agar..seems easy also ???

I'd use that syringe, and if it's bunk see if they'll send you another one. And yeah, if you go for the lc and it's bad you might not be able to tell whether it was the syringe to blame or the lc. Do some jars and an lc and see what happens. Be sure not too use to much honey, I just like to use one small drop without squeezing the bottle at all.

Why is LC sketchy in this situation? i thought that might be a good testing method, the agar seemed a bit over my head, but idk
On a separate note, i am ordering a syringe from raulfsters or w.e its called and it should be good to go. and i was leaning towards LC'n a couple cc's of that for additional jars. BTW whats the shelf life of an LC?

It's sketchy because it's not obvious with an lc if you're growing mycelium or a contam, and if it turns out it's bad you won't be able to tell whether it was bad spores, or if you fucked up the lc. I'd shoot the spores directly into brf or grains to know for sure if it's good or not.
