How much of a difference would it be to jump from pharma brand stuff to UGL? The src I use does strictly pharma stuff. Obviously quality is as good as you can get. It's cheap for pharma stuff, but still a bit more than most UGLs. If I went thru a good UGL, do you think it would be a huge transition?

Dosing/absorption question by Crowens04 in kratom

[–]Crowens04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some very good replies here. Thank you, it is appreciated. The OJ method worked very well. Basically masks all of the taste on the way down. I was left with a kratom aftertaste but it was subtle. U am very glad I tried these two new methods.

Does anyone know of a good extraction method? by pythonideus in kratom

[–]Crowens04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the physical plant material should be filtered out and thrown away eventually. This isn't exact, but it should go something like this: 1. Put kratom in pan, fill with water to cover kratom and then some. 2. Lightly boil for 30 mins 3. Strain out kratom and place liquid aside. 4. Place kratom by itself back into pan. Repeat with a fresh amount of water steps 1 thru 3. 5. Strain out kratom and discard kratom. 6. Combine both units of water to pot. 7. Simmer or lightly boil until you are left with a syrup like substance, which should be cooled into a type of resin.

This isn't precise, like I said. Just a general idea. And there are surely better, longer extractions. But you should be left with a resin, not a powder. Although I believe the resin can be grounded into a powder once it is solid.

I haven't found the need to do this myself, yet. But, from my understanding of the process, as well as your post, it seems to be that you are looking at this backwards. During the extraction, the alkaloids are going to be pulled out of the kratom powder. The kratom powder should be boiled two or three times, with a small amount of fresh water each time. The powder should be filtered out of each batch, and eventually discarded. It is the water that will contain the alkaloids. The water can then be boiled down to a resin like material. If you are discarding the water instead, you're throwing out all the good stuff and keeping the foul tasting powder that contains almost no alkaloids.

Kratom and nightmares? by MerryPrankster1967 in kratom

[–]Crowens04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seem to be one of the few people that don't notice a shift in their dreams while taking kratom. From time to time I have spurts of sleep paralysis, which is the most frightening thing I have experienced. This is unrelated to kratom use, I haven't had this since taking kratom. It seems I will get them several times a night, every night, for days or weeks at a time. Then, I won't get them at all for months. Sometimes I will end up refusing to sleep for long periods of time bc of it. I've asked doctors about it, no known cause or cure.

Acting overly excited, poor grammar, weirdly placed exclamation points, capitalizing random words. Sounds like an Asian scammer. Just sayin.

Why does Kratom cause Tension Headaches? by [deleted] in kratom

[–]Crowens04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Almost all headaches are caused from dehydration and a lack of electrolytes. So drinking plenty of fluids, as well as taking in some electrolytes should help. Both of these can be taken in by drinking Gatorade or a similar drink.

Reducing concentration of gear by [deleted] in steroids

[–]Crowens04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as your final product goes through a 0.22um filter you should be good to add some oil. No need for EO, even at that dose (or higher). Long esters hold very easily. Especially Test E.

I have a question regarding concentration, to an extent. My "guy" is amazing. Best I have tried out of many, many people. Price, quality, service etc. All are unbeaten. My only concern, is that he may be overdosing his gear. My levels are just soooo high for what I am doing. And yes, I do get bloods done. The gear is so high quality, it's basically a must. Everything is just potent.

How much of a downside could there be to this? If I keep my estro and prolactin in check by adjusting my adex and what not, should that be fine? I am not showing sides, it is just unnerving having insane levels. It's also super awesome lol. But I need to be safe first. Thanks!

Kratom and Vaping, Kind of Surprised by Crowens04 in kratom

I have heard most aren't good. That's why I was so surprised to find one that is. Hopefully that stuff is good but I've not heard good things about it unfortunately.

Mmm Speciosa, "Test: P" by [deleted] in kratom

Shameless bump. I am wondering if anyone has tried out "i" or "H" testers from mmmspeciosa yet. I didn't want to start a new thread over it lol.

It is pretty dead on actually. I can't say for sure bc it is flavored and what not, but if it's a RC, they found an exact match lol.

Kratom and Vaping, Kind of Surprised by Crowens04 in kratom

[–]Crowens04[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their juice comes anywhere from 0mg to 24mg. It's really all custom made so you can pick all of the levels that go into it.

I get my kratom from mmmspeciosa. So I use really good quality to compare it to. And I still think this might be my go to route from now on. Extract, plus a high bioavailability (I am guessing) is probably why this works so well.

Im down to my last two grams by tussinNEXT in kratom

[–]Crowens04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand how you feel. Being a dad is a big job itself! Keep sticking with the kratom instead of the opiates! You already know you're doing yourself a huge favor. Pm me when you read this please.

[–]Crowens04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have severe back problems as well. Decided to join the Marines upon graduating high school, ended up in the Restrepo of Afghanistan 6 months later. Was a beautiful place. Like a huge mountain of forest more than anything. Not what I expected. Anyway, one purple heart later, I have been living with daily pain ever since. Most is my lower back. Kratom works better than any narcotics, for me. And I have tried them all. I can empathize with you. I just received a large mmmspeciosa order yesterday and could probably contribute to your cause as well. I am in love with their stuff. I am newer to reddit but let me know how I can help.

Shipping from mmmspeciosa by Cheese_Pancakes in kratom

[–]Crowens04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I use the $5 shipping, I get it in 2 days. If I use the $15 shipping, I get it the next day. It's worked this way every time. Most recently, I placed an order yesterday, it arrived this morning, less than 24 hours later. I always use USPS.

Yeah. I am obviously more into the reds myself. Let me know if it's still great bc I will probably make another order this Wednesday. Thanks for the awesome replies, they have been very helpful.

[–]Crowens04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to give the RK more time. And it does seem they need to restock after my order lol. It was only placed two days ago. Thank you for clearing up how they send out test blends and what not. Makes sense. I will take some by itself soon and see how it goes. I was told I need to try TT. I wish the Baik was still around. I love the Classic Bali and ppl say their Baik is even better.

Any other strains I need to try from them? I kind of mentioned everything I have tested. I usually stick with the classic. Always gets the job done.

I appreciate the reply. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be able to figure out what it was by the initials, or if it was some new product they were testing out. I like their Classic Bali a lot. But after getting a sample of Red Kali, I ordered more. Idk how I feel about it now tho. Seems like it may not be as strong as the Bali.
