UG lab crisis....

[needsize]

with this china powder thing going on, just curious how many UGs you know of are shutting their doors? I wasnt really paying attenting when this happened, thinking it was no big deal, but at this point, i only know of one UG lab still getting powders and making new batches, every other one I know of is selling off existing stock, then is finished till further notice
Whats the status of the other UGs?

 

[pstate]

do you mean closing, or not accepting new customers?

Many are going under. Between 50-75% of the ones I know about are going under, but I haven't really checked in awhile.

Out of the ones where I know the owner personally, I think they're all ok...but those UGs don't advertise on the boards and don't have anything to do with them. So..I mean..that's a lesson in itself, I think...

Until powders are readily available, I think you will see a lot of them fade away. Prices are going up, and quality is taking a hit as these guys try to cash in on what's left over.

kind of what I thought, the fly by night ones are hit worse. I have been buying from mine for over 5 years now, so I figure they have things figured out a little better. I was just really surprised when I found out almost every other one I buy from is done

I don't understand why so many are closing shop. They must have had just one powder source or something.

a few closing...all the rest gone private.

the lab im going through now, whos been around forever... only raised prices 5 bucks.. and on his autoreply now says the powder situation is no longer an issue.. i guess hes got shit figured out, he was offering a cash reward for a legit powder source

I think alot of UG's may be under-dosing to conserve stock from what I'm hearing and seeing.

its $100 @ sample to test. so you'd be more than doubling the cost of the gear to test it. hmmm

ef should set up a fund to test 5-6 current popular UGs out to make sure we all arent gettin screwed

- I've been saying this for awhile - it falls on deaf ears

 

[jmead]

hell if every member threw in a dollar we could get at least 5-6 UGL tested out on at least 1 product, or just take it out of the cost of the plat membership and make it private to those who purchased plat, then they can share it with me.. who doesnt have plat

there's a site or two based on this, when I dig up the name I'll send it.

pisses me off that I waste time and money, the time more than the money
