Notes: I just barely missed the sample round, but upon reading them, I had to give Conig a try. Very responsive and attentive. Ordered on a Sunday, in my hands Thursday. They didn't have their standard packing system materials in stock but gave me the option of waiting, or letting them use what they had. I chose the latter, and found it to be surprisingly good. Better than many vendors' normal packs. I certainly struggled which is always a good sign.
The 4F-MPH has not gotten into the lab yet, but a visual inspection meets expected criteria. It is a very fine snowy powder with little sticking and zero detectable odor. Price point for the opening sale was incredibly reasonable. I will update when the lab results are in. I can say for sure, after the PGC fiasco, I definitely did not get sent 3-FPM (somewhat inside joke for you that know).
The a-PHP arrived with the appearance similar to the batches we are seeing around these days. All crystalline, some smaller broken chunks but mostly large half gram plus fully formed crystals. The majority are clear, with a small portion having a very slight tan in places. My lab deals with mostly closed chamber vented pyrex beaker contained melting, vaporization, and pyrolysis temperature testing. My initial findings closely match those of larger labs. One difference being the tendency towards pyrolyzation is less than with other a-php my lab has seen.
At the price point they opened with, granted the standard post-opening sale price is similar, I would certainly recommend this new vendor. They apparently have their finger on the pulse of researcher demand, and I hope they can maintain this level of service and quality as they inevitably become very popular very fast. I have seen too many good ones go down from overburden, it comes practically out of nowhere. Especially with positive reviews for samples and purchases rolling in so fast and numerous.

Nice review u/Cxper
Always good to see new ph vendors with competitive prices so hopefully they stick around. Do you know what the price will be after the opening sale?
Thanks! I should be doing more of them for sure. I wish I knew his pricing plan, but I bet it won't be much more.
Hopefully he will offer quantity breaks like gv before he went silent.
Considering gv was the cheapest at 26/g for ten, even if conig comes in with single grams at 25-30 that's cool. Especially if the 4fmph stays around 35, he's gonna have a lot of business.
We will know hopefully when he opens in a couple days!
