Yep itslio, there are things other than purity and cut which effect quality.
A big one for me is pH. Coke HCL has a hydrochloric acid ion attached which makes it water soluble. If more hcl than necessary is used you have extra acid in the product which makes it acidic and causes nasal irritation for snorters and damaged veins for shooters Fixing this is most of why people like washed coke.. On the other side if too little hcl were used the pH would be good but not all cocaine base would convert to cocajne hcl so the pile of come would be mix of coke base and coke hcl. For the purposes of snorting and shooting this coke base will not contribute to intoxication. The test will however count it as pure since the test cant tell the difference so this is a case where a test of coke will return potency figures inappropriately high for its intoxication potential. in realty this too little hcl wont happen, people aways err on the side of too mucb.
Another example is smell. I have some horrid smelling but potent stuff that I wont sell here. If it smells so bad you get a headache it is not good coke. I'll get ya high but if it is not enjoyable it is not good coke even if it is pure. (Speaking of if someone wants to rock some up and see if the smell goes away hit me up on SR, ill sell it cheaper).
Another example of how purity is not the end-all-be-sll is moisture content. Coke left out too long especially when humid will absorb a bit of water and be hard to chop. Another example is if a cut were used that was too large to be sucked up by a needle.
There are other characteristics which also matter related to the manufacture process my favorite is squishy bricks. Dutchaanbod and Abzu are examples of vendors that carry elastic coke. I love elastic coke, it is sort of a novelty! This is a matter of personal preference however as even though I love it others do not. There are many personal preference issues: fishscale, elastic, high heat are some. Similarly, mexican, columbian, bolivian, peru - all have characteristics which some like and some not. If this is ignored people only care about purity the distinctness each of these bring to the table is lost and from there unfortunate conclusions like "peruvian coke is no good" would be drawn.
I applaud pineapple for his work and will probably send him some. His work is definitely an asset to the community. But we are talking too much about purity as if it was all that matters, should consider all variables. Making a decision on purity alone is like buying a car based on accelleration with no regard for anything else.
