Kats Botanicals Green MD

[Vammo]

Hello, first post here.
I used to be an avid fan of LiHerbals (now known as LIH Tea Company) and in my opinion, 3 years ago, they had the most potent kratom ever. Now, unfortunately, their product seems to do barely anything to me.
Recently I went on a search for new vendors and came across Kats. They seemed ok just on the surface level, and I've heard good things secondhand about them.
Now, some of you may disagree with me and say I'm looking for the wrong effects, but when I use kratom, I'm looking for a mood boost and strong euphoria, usually bodily euphoria. Therefore from my experience, Green MD has given me those effects most of the time. From LiHerbals it was White MD and Green MD that did it the most, but especially green.
So I got Green MD 250g from Kats and I'm conflicted. When I first used it, I felt great mood wise but no euphoria. Took more later that day and definitely felt some body warmth. Since then, I'm only experiencing slight mood boosts.
Overall I'm unsure of how to feel here. It definitely puts me in a good mood all day but I'm striving for more from it.

My question is do you like Kats' products? What strains?
And most importantly, what vendors are top of the line in your opinion?

Thanks friends

Hi Vammo and welcome to MM. Good to hear from a customer of LIH, I also have their products from <> 2 yrs ago & they were pretty good.. the popular Green Kali, and coarse Green Elephant. Since then.. like U say, and Search here others are saying same as U.

Call it: Stale Supplier Syndrome . maybe? There does seem to be a thing, with older vendors who.. change for the worse. Of course everybody's different but - how about SoCal ? They used to have more strains than anyone. Now it's new company, new location, and head-shop Retail products.. many other examples/ vendors change & either get lazy, or, stop caring about quality.

I'm a customer of Kats too. Hate to say it but.. Kats also is showing signs of SSS - they were like #1 vendor on Facebook, remember, 8000 ppl in his FB group... He then went through, the usual problems.. FB banned him. Bank accounts lost. Payment issues. Charge backs filed by fake buyers.. Then, branched out into CBD, Shilajit, other wacky products.. Then his stock got very low, at 1 point. Now.. appears Kats has limited stock, 1 Supplier? Idk. Having 8K eager buyers, a vendor may tend to take business for granted ??

Facebook still sucks. Kats stays on the Vendor List, for now.. but some older vendors will get dropped.. In favor of those more involved & working to import quality leaf: Speciosa Life, SoSa, Smiley Time, Fused Flora .. to mention just a few . https://saidit.net/s/KratomVendors/

Hi Vammo,

I used to only use Kats. They have okay leaf. I like the Green Hulu and White MD. I have tried like every strain. I would recommend other vendors. Smileys, Mitraman, Soultanic, Speciosa life etc. Kats is not bad by any means, just if you want that true gem, you are more likely to find it elsewhere. Best of luck.

What they said. Take their advice and Branch out, it will open your eyes to what quality kratom is. The vendors they listed are all solid. Mitraman and Soul probably have the most consistency.

Edit to add I have not tried Speciosa life, but I believe they would have consistent product also

Thanks to everyone who answered, I appreciate it. I made an order with Speciosa Life and I'll see how it goes.

No kidding? I've been using Kats for about a year now and I thought it was fantastic. So you're saying these others are really that much better?
I've found some of Happy Hippo's strains to be outstanding, but ridiculous in price.
My new favorite is Fused Flora, the Green Kapuas and Super Green are perfect for my line of work, which requires a ton of energy, and sometimes a severe uplift in mood (euphoria), as it can be rather miserable at times, plus the owner Shaun is just a wonderful person.
I recently fell for all the advertising online for Coastline and gave them a try, SUCK!!!
Do any of these other vendors mentioned above test their kratom or maybe even GMP certified? Just joined the forum btw, nice to have a place to discuss without having to censor the details.

Welcome Drum Addict! I recommend checking out Lucky Herbals. They do test their strains and post results. The GMD and GHK are excellent and it sounds like the GHK may fit your needs during work.

Right on Guitar Todd! Thanks so much for reply! I'll check them out.
