Trouble is most dealers seem to be like that over here, but yes, I have seriously considered getting a new guy. Over here it's almost exclusively the west africans who sell dope, and they never use dope themselves.
I have two different dealers I go to. They both have mediocre dope and pretty crappy customer service (although I have been going to them for a long time). The weight I get is good (around 150 mg in each bag), I almost always get credit (but that is what I expect after that amount of time) and sometimes (very rarely) an extra ball free of charge, but the hours and the mediocre dope have more and more gotten me thinking I should find a new connect, especially since I've heard talk of fire dope lately, but seen none of it from my guys.
In my experience the way to find a new connect is to go to the open air here, cop once, and get their number. I don't know or hang out with anyone else who uses dope, so I always buy alone. But I have not seen any dealers around the usual open air spot, only cops and junkies, and I've heard a lot of people have been getting scammed, talk of prices rising, that kind of shit. I'll keep trying tho.
Spent the rest of the night sat in bed half on the nod & having a damn good scratch with my trusted "b brush" (does everyone have a b brush you use to have a good scratch with or is it just me?)
A brush is a good idea, and I actually have one that would be perfect, thanks. I don't usually itch other than the histamine release just after the shot. Lately it has been really strong, like the skin on my chest and legs and face gets red and swollen and itches like crazy, and I have to scratch it. But that passes in about 30-45 seconds. Still, it's a pain in the ass and distracting, and sometimes I don't even feel the rush because the histamine release overshadows it. I remember the first time I got it this bad. I had bought 5 grams for the first time, and did a solid shot (I had tried the same batch before, so I didn't feel I needed a test shot), and when the itching started I got really scared and thought there was something wrong with the dope, like a poisonous cut or something.
I have found that more water in the shot and injecting slower makes the histamine release not as bad.
