hi if anybody is still around.
it's been a while but i thought i'd give you my smoke report.
i think i like the a-train better overall. if i was going to grow one or the other it would be the a-train. it smells and tastes better. it burns better in the pipe. it's more of a stone than a buzz.
the vortex has that rotten poop diaper smell - which isn't bad once you get a whif of it! i kinda like it. my vortex doesn't burn well at all. so i threw some in the grinder and that really helps. i think it's a speedy high. i don't think it tastes particularly good either.
i gave some to my friends and didnt tell them which was which. they thought the a-train made them red eyed, hungry and "fuck i'm tired!"and the vortex more "chill" and "alert," (which they preferred.)
i would say the potency is about equal. a couple of big hits and you're stoned.
i like them both!
