Hi all..
Forgive me if I am rushing and a bit frustrated but...
Has anyone else besides me-
(a) Ever-more than once- NOT received their order? (b) A SERIOUS issue avoiding contamination due to the fact that as of the last couple years HE has stopped assembling syringes?
Which means that you need to remove a cap to install the lance and as a result expose the entire syringe to contam. I mentioned this and I don'y know why syrs are being shipped this way, or what I need to do a far as handling the syr to avoid contam. I've tried uncapping with the syr upside down and that hasn't worked either. There doesn't seem to be any way to avert contam.
Now don't get me wrong folks I love HE and have been with him for YEARS. But things IMHO are slipping- at least for me.

im wondering if you dont receive your order it means it got stoped at the borders somewhere or it got lost or they just didnt send it.
if it got stoped by the border, what will happen?

Ya I thought about that - except it was never received in the first place, so it wasn't shipped at all. This happened twice.
Not sure what you mean by 'border' I'm in the same country, right 'up the block'...
I'm not so worried about getting the order as much as getting it un-assembled. THAT is worse than not getting it-going to all the trouble to make use of the syr and winding up with contam again and again, simply because I have to risk that in order to use it at all, and that is just what happens.

You're not supposed to talk about the shroomery spore vendors in mush cult about misuse of their product. They ssold those for microscopy use only. Read forum rules
Also most vendors sell their syringes without the needle attached

Er uh, ya I know that. I didn't say anything about anything other than the mechanical issues I am having with the syringe itself in avoiding its spoilage while assembling it.
Thus at this point the only one mentioning 'misuse' is you.

Oh okay- Gotcha on the caveat there. My bad. Vendor forum. Didn't notice there was one (FP). I was all the same still only asking whether anyone has issues with assembly of syrs - not use of them.

Like I said before most spore suppliers sell their syringes with the needle in a separate package. I have never heard of this being an issue. It was never an issue for me. How confident are you in your sterile technique?

Sterile technique? Ah. I go so far as to wash the walls and spray EVERYTHING. When I uncap the syringe it is in the glove-box. I upturn it so as to prevent a vacuum, attach the lance, heat the lance and then eject some solution. Then I flame again and noc.
Now...
I might want to feel silly for answering my own questions about this-so in case I should just let me know, but...
I stopped buying BRF since I can get 5lbs of organic BR and mill it myself. It 'seems' as though it's only happening with the BR I mill, yet I've made no effort to test this against the BR I'd been using prior. Perhaps...
Perhaps- The BRF is too coarse (?); and I've had that question in the back of my mind for a minute now, supposing that the coarser BRF I mill myself from whole grain rice is not sterilized well enough or long enough. That's the only reason I can think of that might account for contam. In that case I need to ground the grains more thoroughly or sterilize twice as long at half the temp, or equally as long a slightly higher temp, of course provided that doesn't burn the sub.
Any thoughts about this?
Thnx.

I always ground my own when I was doing cakes and I left it pretty course. It worked great. I always used a pc when I was doing cakes. Are you steam sterilizing or using a pc?

I'm not sure how up-turning the syringe is going to have anything to do with a vacuum? Try "down-turning" it to avoid falling spores. Although if you're spraying your towel on the bottom of your box with water and waiting 20 minutes or so for all spores to fall, you shouldn't be having any problems. Also, just flame once (outside of your box), squirt a couple drops to cool the needle (inside your box), then insert and inoculate, no need to flame twice there.
Of course this is assuming you're talking about your legal edible syringe you received also. No need to flame if you're viewing spores, just squirt on the plate and view away

Just curious but why would you order again from a company that failed to deliver?

Hello Agua,
I use tracking #'s for every package. I do have an office full of returned orders here. In fact I'm about ready to give a bunch of these returned orders away free on the shroomery.
I do remember the incident with you a couple of years ago about the missing order, then you had an order an order about 6 months ago that was delivered fine right?
Why don't you email me the name & address and date you placed the order, and I can look up the tracking # for you and we can figure it out. Hopefully you used a name that is registered with the post office as living at that address. That is the #1 reason orders get returned to me, fake names or incorrect names. I also have 2 orders sitting here with no name or address to ship to. Both are for 1 syringe. Not sure if one of these is yours. Just email me and we will figure it out.
thanks

I just ordered from Hawkseye about a month ago and he had my stuff to me in a week or less. I inoculated using 6 different types of spores and all turned out fine except one ... creepers that still hasn't shown any growth I am not sure if it was something I didn't do properly so I will try it again. Good sponsor in my opinion.

This guy's been around a long time- I think hawkseye is definitely a reputable vendor. I've never had a problem, and every post I see about problems it looks to me that he offers every way to make it right.

 I am watching for this and will hopefully benefit from all the retards that use fake names and can't get their addresses right .
I think its totally legit that you give these away versus tossing back into your inventory. Says alot about your business ethics
