Review NSI-189 Wuhan HengHeDa

I found this supplier on Alibaba and ordered NSI-189 phosphate. I found them very responsive to e-mail, the shipping was fast, and the product was well packaged. The taste was similar to the NSI-189 that I purchased from eryn800 (ebay). It didn't burn my throat and was of a more mild bitter flavor compared to Ceretropic and THT's NSI-189.
I am willing to ship out samples (plus some extra) to anyone who has the ability to test the compound.

Is the price feasible for people purchasing for personal use? Or are there foreign labs that are affordable?
I have some interesting ideas for things I'd like to experiment with, it may be best to set up group buys for this so the cost of testing would be spread out.
When we first started, we were scammed a few times, and were never refunded or reshipped. There was a point when if we had been scammed one more time, I would have had to shut us down. Luckily that did not happen. We've probably been scammed out of about $10,000 total now. Not a massive deal today, but it was in the beginning.
One day would you be willing to post some tips on how to avoid being scammed when purchasing from China, share some relevant stories? It's bad for everyone, and can be dangerous.

It depends on what you decide is feasible. There are no reference standards for Bromantane, so you would have to do a P-NMR and HPLC. That is going to be two tests you have to pay for. Then if the HPLC shows a lower percentage, but the NMR does not show any extra protons, you might have to run a GC/MS to pull out the masses of everything in it. Then you'll know what the impurities are. NSI-189 also does not have any reference standards. So the process will be the same. Other compounds might be easier.
