Daily Review thread: What's burnin' today?

Post by **Damen ck** » Mon Jun 15, 2020 12:41 am

Thanks. I'll have to explore that. I've been wanting to taper down and cut my doses in half, if possible. You must have some real willpower. Every time I've tapered or taken a week off cold turkey, i go right back to my normal dose. It's like my tolerance doesn't go down, in the short term anyway.

Ending tonight with Denette Gold Maeng Da and Smiley Baik Bali.

Denette’s Wild Green this morning...

Tonight I decided on a Spec Life evening burn - 1:1 RB1 and Super Red MD. It is wonderful!

KTC Yellow Borneo from last year

Rhino's latest white Malay is hella-euphoric at a high dose, could easily take this one in the afternoon!

I never got a chance to try any of Rhinos whites. I really wanted to try him so I ordered a few days before his next drop so I just got a bunch of the greens. Nothing bad but no standouts like I was hoping for they're all mid-spec to fast green. I had some up for sale but now I think I'm going to hold on to him and keep him in the stash.

This morning, Denette Turtle Horn and White Horn. Kind of a white heavy full spectrum.

How do you like the Turtle Horn? I got it in a sample and wasn’t sure what to expect.

Turtle Horn is pretty good. I wouldn't call it a standout but it is a full spectrum strain. As far as I know it has white green and reds in there, not exactly energetic but not relaxing either just kind of a even Kratom feeling. I've had it before and didn't really care for it but this time around I've liked it a little more it's giving me some good focus and energy, makes me interested in more of the mundane that I would normally find boring. No real pain relief I can speak of it's all cerebral. I could probably spit out some more details if I really thought about it but I think I captured the essence of it mainly.

Been tapering down. i'm down to 2.5 - 3g doses. Working well!
Today I'm enjoying Galactic Botanicals' Super Green

Post by **parker99** » Thu Jun 18, 2020 11:27 pm

Fused Flora green maeng da this morning and botanical bunny red jongkong this evening. The green maeng da is a favorite. This is my second time trying the red jongkong. Unfortunately, I get very little of value from any of the reds I have tried. I don't feel much change for the first few hours then I'm left with eye pressure, fog and a heavy head like a get from most reds.

Got my hands on 100 grams of that. Wish I had more.

SOSA super gold. Nothing better than a good gold when you can find one. Works fast and you get a variety of effects. This one wasn't as anxiety and pain relieving as I'd hoped for, but its a nice feel-good strain. Really good mood boost. Then I threw in Lucky green md for a slightly faster experience as well as some more mood boost and anxiety relief.

Lucky's Green Bali this morning. 2.5g and oooh man. Damn he's got some strong leaf! \m/

Is that the 5/20 Supergold? I need to try that one again, I wish he'd update that website but it don't seem like he's too worried about it...

Still working my serving size down with S&V. First serving of the day right before lunch was 2g of Lucky's White Thai with 2g of Smiley White S&V. It hit like my old 4g serving size hit. High energy, mentally focused and very good mood lift. About to go S&V only this weekend and it doesn't feel like it will be difficult at all.

I’m going to dig mine out this evening and mix in a little RVA Red BigBang (first batch).

Earlier today I had a 2:1 blend of TFH Wild Green Hulu IR2 and Liza’s Green Crow.

curious what a high dose is for you? compared to your average dose? I know it varies widely. my average dose is 4-5g, but it hasn't been having much effect for a while. I know I'm in need of a break, but I've also been reading about others who have better results with a lower dose. I'll be experimenting with that concept. also wondering if a higher dose would work better... just afraid of not feeling well. over a year in and I'm still figuring it out!

guitartodd77 wrote: I have the Pure S&V and the White S&V. Both are tan but the Pure is a lighter tan. I use the Pure at night as it is somewhat relaxing to me and the WS&V during the day. I just started with them so im still doing 1/3 S&V with 2/3 leaf. I'll move to 50/50 mid week then 2/3 S&V & 1/3 leaf next week. At some point I'll start substituting every other serving with only S&V and eventually only S&V before stopping completely. After a week off ill start back up between 1.5 to 2g per serving. That's the plan anyway. Loving the S&V so far. It really seems to help. I'm also trying to balance some very unbalanced leaf with it. One trial was successful. Its good stuff.

That’s exactly what I recently ordered from Smiley - the Pure S&V and the White S&V. I’ve had the Pure before and just ran out, but enjoyed it for adding some legs to my burns (and a little energy for me) and also for helping me cut back a gram or two for about half my daily doses. Glad to hear the White is more for daytime, which is what I was hoping (although I never found the Pure to be a slower than mid for me).

I’ve never completely replaced a regular dose of leaf with just S&V. Would be curious to hear how your taper and substitution plan works out for you!

Post by **guitartodd77** » Sat Jun 20, 2020 2:31 pm

Today I start with just the Smiley Stem & Vein alone. No leaf. Hoping my mood doesn't sour much tomorrow with the family gathering and all. This hasnt been bad at all. S&V definitely is a T-break game changer for me.

Monday I plan to remove the S&V as well if possible. Some lite wd effects appeared last weekend (RLS and a runny nose) which lasted one day. Other than having a short fuse and sour mood all week, this has been a cake walk.

Unfortunately, the fatigue got to me. S&V is not a replacement for the energy, motivation and mood improvement that leaf can provide. I have way too much to get done this afternoon and I felt like I was about to fall asleep standing up (due to several factors outside of kratom). I ended up stacking 2g of STH White Monster on top of my normal 4g serving size of S&V two hours later.

Note, if you exceed your normal serving size with S&V+leaf as i did above, you will feel the slow down similar to regular kratom at the higher serving size. It wore off after about 2 hours. Ill need to taper more.

todays burn:
BB's MD Kapuas Green for the AM burn
Smiley's Emerald Elephant (one of the only non-limited strains i tried from him. cant seem to get it to hit the way most others do. )
and finally tried the Green Dragon 50g bag i got as a gift from Wonderland. Man, i was hesitant to try because it isnt even available on their site so...really guinea pig vibes for me.
that said, its only been an hour in and it is hitting me better than the enhanced green batek they sell. many greens dont give the physical/euphoria combo i truly love from kratom but when it works, it beats most reds. anyway this is awesome. if they ever sell a green dragon, recommend trying it. honestly amazed they just tossed this in my first order.

its coming time to restock my extract stash so if anyones had anything worthwhile lately let me know id love to try something new

Post by **guitartodd77** » Sun Jun 21, 2020 12:28 pm

2g Spirit Science White Cambodian + 2g Smiley White S&V. Solid start to Father's Day.

Happy Father's Day to all the real Fathers out there!

As a Father to adult children now, it amazes me how much work I have to put into having a family Father's Day party. LOL

Post by **Damen ck** » Sun Jun 21, 2020 12:35 pm

Smiley White Glow,, Denette Green Fire, and Denette Ultra Elephant.

Can't wait for the Denette to restock, can't wait for some of those greens. I also hope he gets the gold maengnda back in stock and either the super yellow or the other yellow. And of course if the red bone makes an appearance that would definitely make my week

Give us a heads up Denette, a pre-order sale would definitely sell out very quickly.

I still have about a kilo of rhino remedies greens that I haven't really dipped into but after my Smiley and Denette runs out I think I'll get into those.

Post by **MycatTimmy** » Sun Jun 21, 2020 1:18 pm

After a 3 day break this morning it’s TFH Wild Green Hulu Kapuas. It’s one of my favorite TFH strains. Guaranteed to put a smile on my face.
Damen how is Denettes Gold Maeng Da ? I’ve been wanting to try it but he was out. The Super Yellow is great isn’t it. I also highly recommend it also

If you haven't tried it yet, blend Denette615's Yellow Super with his Red Bone 50:50. One of my favorite evening blends currently.

Post by **MycatTimmy** » Sun Jun 21, 2020 2:34 pm

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to try either the red or green bone. They are both definitely on my list to try. Hoping Eric gets some in soon. Sounds like a great blend though !

Post by **Damen ck** » Sun Jun 21, 2020 7:41 pm

The green vein is terrific, don't get me wrong
But the red bone is the GOAT. I don't want to overhype, but it's seriously the best Kratom I've had it in my life. It's a perfect day time red, that transitions to a slower red after a couple hours. I've tried a ton of vendors and nothing has even come close. Like I said, I don't want to overhype it and get people's hopes up high, but it is amazing. Some people prefer the green bone, which is also excellent, but something about the redbone just Hits all the right notes. If it gets restocked┏(＾0＾)┛ it I'm definitely buying a kilo of it if he lets me. Eric, you should hold a raffle or a cake walk or something for the name of the vendor that has the bones. Maybe if you ever get sick of being a vendor that'd be a great way to go out and you'd make mad dough
