ok, i searched who/how much for dihydrocodeine. seems that gigapharma was getting the best reviews, but their site is now flash design and is in another lanuguage which i don't understand, then I read that it's under development.
So then I look at Biotran who have had favourble reviews too, but people are reporting that now they DONT supply DHC, only 'Perduretas' which is codeine phosphate, I have a ton of that and it's nothing like DHC.
The cheapest I found a while ago was pharma24 at 40c per 30mg, but now they don't supply it anymore  next best was Gigapharma at 46c per 30mg, but it appears they are under construction and wont even be called that in the future
So - who has ordered DHC in the last month and RECEIVED DHC? 10, 20, 30 or 60mg, i dont care which, just after a reliable supplier (I dont have a script so always use IOP's) that actually provides pure DHC, no apap please !
Thanks alot for anyone who can clear this up for me, I've been searching for hours.
PM me if need be

I prefer Pharm88's DHC because it's the instant release version. I've bought from them many times. Here's the data on my last purchase:
Ordered July 9
Received July 19

Pharma24 - http://www.europcare.com/intlshop/ - carries it in liquid form as Paracodina fluid & Tosidrin. A teaspoon (tsp)is about 5 mL, so a tsp of Paracodina is 12.5 mg and a tsp of Tosidrin is 50 mg.
I'm pretty sure about a tsp = 5mL but you should check it out to be sure.

We started ordering the liquids when Contugesic went out of stock and/or truly overpriced at P24.
One bottle of Paracodina fluid contains a total of 300mg of DHC and weighs approximately 3,000lbs. It comes in a glass bottle.
You can do the math for the equivalent amounts in the other two, much smaller DHC liquids available at P24. They are MUCH more customs friendly (i.e. lighter), more concentrated, and much smaller. But for the 15ml 150mg DHC Tosidrin, you'll pay almost 11 USD per bottle this minute, and, of course, over 20USD for the 30ml vial of 300mg DHC. They come with eyedroppers.
The price at pharm88.com has been pretty steady for the entirety of this year:
30 tabs Codesic 30mg $36.25
Lest you think you're losing half your DHC, I don't believe Contugesic actually contains 60mg of DHC. If you look at the insert, you'll see that it states 60 mg dhc tartrate equal to 40mg dhc in base. You see something similar with Codesan and the "28.7mg" thing.
I always had good luck with pharma24 and if I could afford the money and the time and the very real customs risk of importing liquids in indiscrete packaging, I'd go with them.
If I had any money, I'd place my order with pharm88 right now. They are quick , friendly, and discrete. Only used 'em once- check threads for more info. That's where DHC is.

Pharm88 took 3 weeks on my DHC order...good meds though, and very discreet. Don't like getting packages from the Phillipines, however.

What is so much better about DHC than regular codeine? I know people seem to like it much better. I've never had it. Does it offer better pain relief? How does it compare with hydrocodone?

That's a really good question. Since there have been no other responces as yet, I'll share my experience for what it's worth.
I had high hopes for DHC, that it was, compensating for mg equivalency (30 mg of DHC in theory should be equivalent to 6 mg of Hydrocodone), as good as Hydrocodone. That is what I had read and would have been very happy had it been the case as I HATE acetaminophen.
To be honest, I was disappointed. First, the immediate release variety that Pharm88 has (the only place you can really get it) lasts like literally about 2 hours before a rather quick return to pain.
Maybe this is why this stuff is no longer made in the U.S. I could see the potential to pop pills quite freqently. Then again, I guess hydro's aren't that much better except the acetaminophen kind of limits how much you could take over the long term anyway. Your liver would rot long before you got into the level of a severe Oxycodone type additicion.
Second I found both the pain relief as well as the, ahem, "side effects" to be more similar to Codeine than Hydrocondone. It didn't work as well controlling my back and neck pain problems as Hydrocodone and made me tired and drowsy like Codeine.
Any other comments/experiences regarding this would be appreciated as I am curious what other people have experienced.
