Oties review

Post by Mike10387 »

White elephant - this is some fire right here. Nice energy, mood lift, legs, all around awesome burn

Super red md - not your typical red but this is a fast red and it’s fucking great. Nice mood lift.

Green dragon - nice mid slow green. Enjoyed it.

White jong Kong - this is actually a slow white for me. It’s very chill.

Otie's White Elephant (at least the batch I got a few months ago) was touted here as one of the best whites and it certainly lives up to its reputation. The only thing I get concerned about them as a vendor is batch identification. I don't remember (and am too lazy to look at the one unopened bag I have of one of their greens I haven't yet made into capsules) is whether they identify the batch or not. Remember - just the name a vendor uses won't identify the actual batch and thus is an unreliable way of referring to it. IOW - if you buy Oties White Elephant two months from now (or even tomorrow) it might not be the same thing at all.

Given all that, Otie is one of the better non-membership vendors and I would always recommend folks try them.

And if they DO identify their batches the next time you post a review it would be helpful if you actually qualified your name of the batch (so something like "Oties White Elephant 0110422" or whatever they use)

I bought 500g of the white elephant because it was on sale and wish I'd bought a kilo. It's a great "old reliable" strain for when I need to do something but don't feel like doing it. Blends very well. Tied with Lucky's High Octane as my favorite white strain.

Otie's DOES identify all their batches, on the label that lists the strain name and weight. On my latest bag of White Elephant it says Batch #104070122. I deduce from this that this batch is from July, 2022.

If you look on their labs page, even last month, their labs were all dated July, 2022. So it appears that they buy large batches every spring or summer and sell them off for the entire year. One of the advantages of Otie's (and Philly/YLYL) is that whatever you buy in late summer is almost certainly from the same batch that you buy in late winter.

They are not a true small batch vendor but the upside is that when you do get a good batch you can pretty much count on it not being replaced by an inferior batch next week.

BTW on Philly's site I caught them the other day having left a bunch of lab reports up from their 2021 batch. Let us just say that it would have been very nice to have been a Philly customer during Fall, 2021. They were some great labs. There stuff is still excellent but there was a definite fall off in objective potency between 2021 and 2022.

All good things to say from me about Oties. I’ve tried pretty much everything they have via their sampler pack. I’d recommend it to anyone to help figure out what strains you may like/dislike. Good service, fast shipping, labs, nice clean powder. What’s not to like?

The white elephant obviously has a reputation for hitting which I agree. Can definitely over do it though so best to dose conservatively.

I prefer the greens lately. Been enjoying the green MD lately. Nice uplifting clean energy.

The Red MD seems to have a good reputation. For me it doesn’t have the punch of the greens or white elephant but does last a while.

In my opinion, these four are the best from Otie's right now. Their Red Malay was really special too but they are out of it. A real sleeper, no pun intended. And you really do need to take it easy on the White Elephant. The first time I tried it at my normal dose I didn't like it at all. Much better at 3/4 of normal, whatever normal is.

I very seldom buy 500 grams of anything at a time, but I split a kilo of the Super MD and The White Elephant about a month ago as well. Because you never know, and they are both that good.

Yo can you give a description of the burn? I've only burned reds, blends that have white, and greens. I'm trying to see if I can take this white elephant in the later afternoon or if it will cause trouble sleeping!! thanks

Rarely does anyone mention the House Mix, but I tried it once and went absolutely bonkers over it. See if you can try it with an order

I like their House Mix as well - it and the White Elephant are actually the only two of Otie's still in my rotation.

The House Mix does well for me when I need to have a productive day. It can be a little too fast for me if I don't take a smaller dose than normal, but I do generally like it most out of all the energetic types I've had.

Anyone tried Oties recent White Elephant? I see reviews, but the only reviews I see that reference a batch number are for old batches.
