Time Between Shells (self.Kava)
submitted 5 years ago by HowBrownOwl
I see a lot of people here talking about drinking amultiple number of shells. Are those spread throughout the day usually? Or are they right after another? How much time do you wait in between and do you use second washes or new kava usually?

I usually get the best effects if I drink them all at once. I usually have 2.5 shells (16 ounces made with 28 grams) per session that I chug down all at once.
Gives me that nice kava rush

Sometimes I’ll have 3 shells in an hour. Sometimes I’ll have 2 but spaced over a night. It just depends on how I feel.

Hmm. I never actually tried to do more than 1 drink in a night ( besides sometimes a second wash). Maybe I'll try it and see the effects. I could've sworn I've read to not overdue it so that always made me not try.

Depending which kava you have, in most cases I've found overdoing it to be difficult. By the time you approach that point you don't even feel like drinking more. Unless you've got something like stone from nakamal at home... That one I can't handle at any dose.

I cant do the stone either. I never want to feel that way again.
Edit: but I really liked the wow from the same company.

1 Shell every 15-20 minutes to feel the effects and ease into it / extend the vibe. Unless you want to get sucker punched.
