Weedmailed - 7g of raw distillate and a free shatter sample

Sign Up: Normal, no ID required.
Ordering & Pricing: Nothing unusual to speak of. See my previous review of Weedmailed for general pricing discussion, but I can say that the raw distillate itself is a great deal relative to prices elsewhere. Even at the lowest tier of 165+GST for 7 grams, that's way cheaper gram for gram than any distillate I've seen anywhere.
Communication: Good. There was a significant shipping error with my order, but all of my emails were replied to the same day they were sent and it was handled to my satisfaction. For the record, the mistake was that my package was accidentally sent via regular post instead of xpresspost. This slowed shipping a lot, but they immediately acknowledged the error, apologized, and offered me a discount code to make up for it. I wasn't in desperate need of the package anyway, so I was happy to accept their apology as well as the discount and move on.
Packaging: Very good. The order came in a plain box with two opaque plastic bags inside it. One of those bags contained a shatter sample and the other contained 7 one gram syringes of distillate further wrapped up within a second bag.
Products / Photos: In my order, I received 7 grams of raw distillate and a free sample of Death Bubba shatter. The total cost after tax was 173.25 with free shipping (just under 25 dollars per gram of distillate).
The raw distillate came in individual one-gram syringes, which I was really thankful for because I was expecting it to just come in a jar or something. I quickly became even more thankful when I realized just how hard this stuff is to work with. It is by far the most frustrating concentrate I've ever dealt with in my life and I have no idea what I'd have done without the pre-loaded syringes. I've never had distillate before so while I was expecting it to be a bit of a chore, I didn't remotely predict the scale of the problem. It's incredibly thick and sticky, making it a nightmare to handle once it's out of the syringe. It's so stringy that I was literally able to stretch a bit out across my entire armspan and it was still sticking together in a long strand. If you get it attached to anything, good luck getting it off without losing any. I understand that this is pretty much the nature of distillate, but I just want to make it clear what you're getting into if you (like me) have no experience with it.
I filled up a Vape710 cartridge about 3/4 of the way with the stuff, which was a whole difficult effort on its own, and I'm finding that it doesn't vape very well like that. I get clouds, but very thin ones and it tastes a bit like burnt ceramic if I ride the button more than a few seconds. That said, I found out that you're supposed to mix it with a bit of terps before putting it in such a cart, so that's entirely on me for not double-checking beforehand.
I ended up dabbing some of it out of my new Saionara TI bucket (best coil I've ever used, seriously) and it worked a lot better out of there, giving me nice fat clouds every time. It's hard for me to really describe the buzz it gives me when vaped. It's not really a distinctive high, if that makes sense. It just feels like weed. There's also zero flavour, which I knew ahead of time, but it's still a bit jarring if you're not used to it. It gives a moderately strong high when consumed this way; it didn't send me into outer space, but it's certainly not weak either by any means.
In addition to those two methods, I tried just smearing it on a rolling paper and twisting it up into a joint. I used about 0.25 grams and, while it was very hard to spread on the paper even after some time under hot water, I was able to make it work and it got me feeling pretty good. It was incredibly harsh though, and I spent about as much time coughing as I did smoking. One thing I want to point out is that when I was hitting this stuff out of my TI bucket, it lasted freaking forever. I put maybe 0.08 grams or so in and it felt like it was never going to run out. Sometimes I like to be able to just puff on the same blob of oil for a while, so I can see myself using the distillate for that purpose.
Overall, I'm not sure how I feel about the distillate. It's a solid deal at 25 dollars a gram (less if you buy larger amounts) and it does give me a nice (if slightly indistinct) high while lasting forever in my TI bucket. That said, I find it incredibly frustrating to work with (even with the syringes), to the point where I almost dread having to reload my coil. I was hoping I'd be able to just load it into my Vape710 carts and go, but I might have to look into getting some terps or CBD oil to mix with the distillate so it works better in them. I truly don't know if I'll be buying this stuff again; my opinion of it has improved since I first got it, but I'm just not positive it's for me yet.
Anyway, they also sent me a pretty decent-sized sample of the Death Bubba shatter. I'm not sure exactly how much is there, but anywhere from a half to one gram would be my guess. You can judge for yourself from the photo, I can't eyeball concentrates worth jack. I've bought this stuff from them before, but I took a dab out of my Sai anyway to give it a quick re-review. It tastes alright. Maybe a little vegetation-y, but it's not too bad at all. The effects are pretty strong, with a nice heavy effect that starts in your head and then spreads from there. For the 32 dollars per gram they price it at, I'd say it's worth picking up.
Incentive for Customers: Free shipping over 150 dollars. Free gram of flower on each order. Free doob tube on each order. Now that I think about it, I didn't get the doob tube even though I did get one last time, but I've got more doob tubes than I know what to do with so I'm not bothered by it. EDIT: They did send me a doob tube! I overlooked it in the packaging somehow and only just found it a moment ago. I apologize for the error.
Incentive for Review: None.
Notes: Despite the shipping error, I don't have anything bad to say about Weedmailed. Mistakes happen and they were extremely apologetic about the whole thing, plus they immediately offered me a discount on a future order to make up for it, so they're good in my books. As I said, I'm not sure where I stand on the distillate, but if you're a person who already knows you're into this kind of concentrate, I'd say to give theirs a shot. I regularly see distillate for 50 dollars a gram or more elsewhere, so even if this stuff isn't quite as high quality (I wouldn't know) I'd imagine it's still a great deal. The shatter sample was very much appreciated and I think it'd be worth buying at their asking price (I've bought it before, albeit with a discount on their 420 sale). Even if I didn't have a discount code waiting for me, I'd still expect to do business with Weedmailed again.
