I live on the breadline and have little funding but reading some of these posts it would appear my £ or 2 isn't worth pence until I've spent £600...seems odd is all.

Expensive hobby. The light he got still worked, anybody with basic sense could have rigged the ballast on it, duck tape probably would have worked to be honest. Though I’d be concerned about heat built-up if used a lot. Point is, not everybody is going to agree with you if you cry about something. I bought cheap shit and it didn’t live up to expectations is an ongoing theme on pot boards these days. Check out the other threads where people bought good shit and something or a concern happens and the owner shows up and is like, “how can I help you” but yeah, people crying about. cHeap shit on pot boards is like tennie boppers crying about whatever it is they cry about to me.

In all sincerity I know what you mean, it does irk me hehe, when some people want a kings ransom because their purchase has a scratch or a minor easily fixed hiccup and I'm sitting on hold with customer services watching the smoke begin to collect around my new light but again if I pass over my coinage I just want a fair deal and my moneys worth.
It's all good though just different horses running in opposite directions on the same course.

My experience is that when you order from a Chinese supplier for anything, there are certain risks. Different culture and different expectations. Normally we have an American company in the middle who marks the price up and acts as a buffer and insurance for that marked up price. But when you order directly from China, guess what? You lose all that. I still order stuff from China, got some great lasers from there, thought there was no way I was going to get what was advertised because they were like 1/5th the expected price, but within a few weeks I got them and they were prefect. I will never buy any food from China anymore though, we had a bunch of people die from poisoned frozen dumplings from China. A disgruntled worker decided a good way to get pay-back was to poison the food.

Also the video of realstyles taking the hammer to a mars light - brilliant!
The mark of the beast.

And as for the musings of Realz, I actually took the time to track it down recently just to watch it for kicks. As it's hilarious and quite fitting for the moment let's have it once again


"I'm so glad it's over" cracks me up, but it goes further, on and on. Btw some led section lore, afaik Realstylez was the first to order and test leds decent leds from Alibaba and made Jerry Meng from KB king overnight.

How do you know the light worked it was never plugged in because of missing screws out of the light face itself. Duct tape is your fix go figure. Why don't you go tell someone they smoke to much weed again tree hugger.

Yea, real loved the CXB 3590s.
Hybridway2 tried the Penistraitor and big perm was selling them I believe.
Wonder where hybridway2 is at now? he'd a pile of different lights but loved Amare the best.

You're right, I was assuming that you plugged it in and tested it because that's what most people would do. But not you, you would cry on the net and demand your $100 back. And I am a developer, never saw a tree I didn't want to cut down. But I get it guy, that money is a lot for you, for all I know you're 19 years old and you saved for months and are truly heart broken over the whole thing.

Glad I'm able to get under your skin. Your in total control of how you feel. If you don't like the thread and it upsets you so bad why do you keep visiting it. You should go back and read the thread from the beginning. I'm glad that your taking time out of your day to reply to a cry ass like me. Can't wait for your next tip on how to fix a light. Do you have any Youtube tutorials? I only have cheap imatation duct tape would that have worked?

Youre the broke personality I guess. Suck it up butter cup, you're in for a long life of disappointment if you got this salty over a $150 dollar light.

Lmao. Duck tape. Argument over….. I’m out
I wouldn't do it, I would just screw it on, maybe make a bracket if needed, but she said she it was beyond her capabilities so I suggested duck tape, which I am 100% sure would work because it's a small ballast on a light that sits still. But yes, you are out, out to that imaginary land where you can buy something for a hundred bucks and have them fix it for free years later. Never an argument to begin with Dr Og Kush (great pot site name, very original).

Thanks for letting me into your mind. I think I'll stay for a while. Your thinking of me right now aren't you? You'll think about Months down the road you'll remember me and think what an asshole. I'm just part of your life forever now friend. Thanks for the rent free space in your mind.

Years??!! My bad. I read it came in the mail that way. Sorry. I’m saying if I order something brand new. It better come brand new. Or I’m getting my money back. (I always have). I don’t care if it’s 5 bucks and only requires a piece of stitching. It’s the rules and formality or trust and trustee in a trade. Iv never had the problem. But hey. Your the super knowledgeable go to handyman right. Can fix everything with a tool belt worth of tools. That’s great. I work hard for my money. So money spent must be at value IMO And people that follow that gets my returned business. I’m very clean so small things bug me out a place. So I buy new shit when it’s scratched to shit or fucked up in any way then lend the old one down to some else for free.
And thank you True og has been my favorite strain since Ever ago for me. Matt’s #1 true og stash
Along with snoops doggs private reserve og

11 years later still the best smoke to me. Never found anything close. All the new og hybrids this last decade has had to offer is trash.

It did come in the mail like that last Wednesday. I opened the box 10 minutes after UPS delivered it. And contacted Mars-Hydro immediately. That's what I can't understand people thinking it's ok that I should except a broken light upon opening the box just delivered to my door. That I bought a cheap light so I should except to have to fix or tape it back together brand new out of the box. I didn't plug it in bevy it says for returning the cannot have been used.

I didn't plug it in because it say it cannot be used to return it. It was also missing 5 screws that holds the light to the housing.

Again @DaFreak has people confused. I received this light brand new last Wednesday. Upon opening the box the light was in said condition. There was no damage to the box only the light inside. I contacted Mars-Hydro immediately and they replied with their email saying just cosmetic and $20 refund offer. When I told them to read the whole email I sent with all the damage they sent me a shipping label to return for an exchange light. They like @DaFreak didn't read the complete email The first time. It wasn't just cosmetic the ballast/driver had bounced around in shipping hard enough to loosen screws, 5 fell out and knock a post out of the frame. I nor Mars Hydro know what could be wrong with the ballast or light and it wasn't advisable to plug it in.

Don’t fuel him. He/she is no grower to accept broken product (lights of all things) as an okay thing. The way he or she talks just seems unreal and it’s having to much fun. That. Or he or she has a really fucked up life of getting ripped off all the time and just accepts it by “fixing it with duct tape”. Or a “bracket or some sort”. Lmfao. I don’t need to go any further to realize it’s all a joke. Maybe it hits the bottle and starts typing weird ass shit.
