i thinks
I think like most people I get my information on the current E market from pillreports. Reading that site for past few years or so, I think the consensus is the mints and pokeballs right now are the standard for high quality mints in the US. I am no expert but it just seems that way. Coming from a midwest perspective, I will give California the fact that they probably have the overall best chance of getting a better than average pill, along with the DFW area. Recently it seems that the pokeballs have been getting stronger, but still it seems like the average roller needs 2-3 pokeballs, while only the people who only rolled a few times could make due with 1 pokeball and be content. Being from the midwest, I def know that the mints are bringing people back to the glory days. I think davearch said it best, the best pokeballs are probably along the lines of average mints.The mints tests are always instant black and fizzing, and from what ive read the reports on the pokeballs are always slightly less intense and slower.I have tried 3 mints, the yellow astericks, blue =, and red bowling balls all seperate times and I have a very low tolerance and I was content, an understatement, with one each time except for the red bowling ball but I was still pretty satisfied. I will even go further and say that if I had a choice for any other pill than the current top quality mint, it would be those white rolex's going around wisconsin, minnesota, and colorado. has anybody whose tried the pokeballs and mints ever try those white rolex's going around now? I wish I could get my hands on those, or any mint right now for that matter : ( ! Just reading those reports on the white rolexs, people are gushing over those saying there the best roll ever and it takes them back to the 'glory days' or whatever the usual nostalgiac veterans use when referring to their first few quality pills.
If I had a choice
1 Mints from Chi
2 White Rolexs from Wisco/Minnesota
3 Best Pokeball from Cali/DFW
But there is enough reports of people biased like me who have only had one or the other, def would like to see more of peoples opinions of this subject
