Better than Herbal Salvation? Or at least close?

Are there any vendors that are better or at least equal to Herbal Salvation? HS is unfortunately changing suppliers and the odds of them still having the best product on the market are close to zero. When it comes to euphoria / not getting sick - HS is amazing. I just wish I could find a worthy substitute...Anything close even?

Do you know when HS is supposed to have their new stock in from new supplier? Seems like it’s been a while since they’ve been out.
I used to use strictly Herbal Salvation but then at some point added in Botanical Bunny and RVA, both of which are on par with HS - in my opinion.
Have a good one.

I used HS over 2 years ago when I first started. In my opinion / experience Garden of Eden and Inland Botanicals have as good quality leaf, if not better. I've recently sampled Garuda and they are "up there" as well. GoE's OG strains (simply labeled Green, Red, White and Maeng Da) has been some of the most potent leaf I've ever had. And Inland's Red Bali knocked my socks off when I first tried it late last summer. To that point, I had never had leaf that potent... Inland is a little pricier though. But they usually run some sort of monthly coupon code. Also, I'd put Krabot on the same quality level as HS, in my experience. I've tried many of the powdered and CL strains... never had a "dud" amount them. Although, some were more effective (for me) than others.
I've haven't tried every vendor on this forum's trusted vendor list, buy of the ones I've tried, I've enjoyed the ones I've mentioned the best.

They said they are hoping to be able to sell their new stock sometime in July - could be early could be late Im not sure. Just praying its on par with what they used to have...

Well thanks for the info I will definitely try them out. However... I just want to clarify one thing. Some consider "potent" to be like.. "I only had 2 scoops and wow it got me so dizzy...really potent stuff"
What Im looking for is closer to what HS used to sell - more like "yeah I just kept on adding more and more and I only felt better and better. No side effects at all at high doses"
Basically what I'm asking is.... which vendor do you think has the most "euphoric" strains out there? Preferably ones that you could dose at high levels without getting sick. It looks like you've tried a number of places - if you had to list a top 3 in order for most euphoria what would they be? Thanks for the help man I appreciate it.

When it comes to euphoria / not getting sick - HS is amazing.
HS shut down their operation & did a massive RECALL because - people were getting sick
Their kratom was found to be contaminated with Salmonella, go read the
FDA docs regarding the case.. In any event, this got HS removed from the
Vendor List, because we can't recommend vendors who have a known quality problem. Makes sense?
OH, how the mighty have fallen!! The King is dead, long live the King. And all that jazz.... There are
40 good vendors, right now, who have kratom as good or better than HS. Some are re-stocked THIS week. Others are out, and waiting for next week...
HS will probably get it together, and re-stock eventually.. who knows?

It's really just hype. I'm a customer of HS, about a year ago they had good average kratom. JMHO it's a company living on hype from years ago

Honestly man the best i've come around recently is RVA, and mystic island. HS was good a couple of years ago, haven't been impressed since. I've tried pretty much all the "name brand" vendors ie BB, Socal, canopy etc.. and these two have been the most consistent and affordable.

I can't really answer your question because I don't seem to dose like you. I try to keep my doses down as low as possible. I'm not one for the "keep dosing until you get the maximum effects without getting sick" type of theory. Just not for me and not how I prefer to use Kratom. But I hope you get the answers you're looking for.
