Today we are reviewing the 420scope brought to us by the guys from 420science.
The 420scope is a pocket microscope featuring a powerful LED light on the tip to illuminate what you are viewing. The 420scope is capable of 60-100X magnification. The 420scope has one button to turn the LED light on and off and two dials a focus adjustment as well as a magnification adjustment. We are reviewing the 420scope because as a weedsnob it should be important for you to know what you smoke. Or how about if you are going to purchase some weed from a dispensary or anywhere else how do you know it’s good? If you are a grower you need to know the optimal time to harvest, the 420scope can help you determine the optimal time to pluck your crop by being able to see when the trichromes have reached their peak,in this sort of situation a magnifying glass can only let you see so much. For our snobs in the U.K. this device could potentially save your life. In the U.K. there have been quite a few news reports of people getting contaminated buds. Contaminated with tiny glass beads to make the cannabis appear to have more trichromes as well as to add to the weight. Check out a post from Ukcia.org of people talking about it. That shit is scary! In this kind of situation this 420scope could potentially save your life.
The 420scope is easy to use. Remove from box,turn on the LED light and play with the focus adjustment. This can be the trickiest part so work the dial slow until you get something starting to come into focus. You will be blown away with what you see. The trichromes magnified 100X looks amazing. You are actually able to see the stalk and cap of each trichrome telling you if the cannabis you have was harvested at the optimal time,how many trichromes and their condition all right there in front of you.
If you have several different strains in front of you this tool can make it very easy to tell who’s bluffing and who is the real deal. As a real life example I took this tool to the Doesha Cup in L.A. last week to see how useful it would be in helping me determine what strains to purchase to take home while I enjoyed the cups festivities. Several people at the cup were selling O.G. Kush at $10 a gram,myself being a snob and a person who can’t pass up a great deal I figure I would put the 420scope through it’s paces. I checked out three different vendors who were selling the O.G. two were selling it for Ten dollars and one for fifteen dollars. I went from booth to booth asking each vendor to show me a nugget or two that I could put under the scope. The fifteen dollar O.G. under the microscope looked decent enough but the trichromes were clear and not milky as they should be. We moved on to the other two ten dollar OG nuggets one vendor had amber nuggets, a little too amber meaning that particular plant was harvested too late. The last vendor was just right nice trichromes milky white with a very slight amber hint to them. Without even smoking any of the previous strains I could already tell that this was the optimal nugget and I saved five bucks. The uses do not stop at cannabis, hash can be viewed under the 420scope as well as just about anything you can think of.
Conclusion: The 420scope is a compact easy to use magnification tool that can end up saving you cash at the same time ensuring that you get the best smoke for your buck. My one tiny gripe with the 420scope is that I feel it should have come with some sort of pouch or protective casing to keep debris getting over the lense or eyepiece. But that is a tiny complaint and is easily resolved by going to your local dollar store and picking something up. All in all this device is very handy for any snob that truely cares about what they are smoking. The 420scope recieves a rating of 5 noses up out of 5. 5/5
