Nova Kratom

[Stu Pidasso]

I saw they had $44 split kilos so I had to try it out. I got several strains from them. To be honest it all looked and felt the same so far. I won’t say it is my most favorite kratom ever, but it is pretty good. It works quickly as I can feel the effects within 10 minutes of each serving.

I don’t know anything about New Dawn Kratom. I’ve been told that Nova is just NewDawn under another name. Maybe that is true, I do not know. I just know that this was $88 well spent.

[Kelleytoons]

New Dawn used to be one of my "guilty pleasures" - someone here mentioned it and I tried them out and they were the best of the bulk vendors I had ever tried.

Since then I've become a member of far better stuff (TFH, Denette, Rhino) but I will say that ONE New Dawn is still in my rotation (which is impressive given that I have replaced all the rest with the stuff from the majors). I have no idea if they morphed into Nova but they were the best of the worst, if that makes sense.

(Nowadays I wouldn't waste my money. And I have many, MANY kilos of New Dawn still in unsealed bags. Most of which resides in my attic which, in my old age, I will never revisit).

Someone asked the owner Monica of Nova if they were owned by ND and she said no, they had only used the same payment processor at one point. Someone thought because they saw the same address for payments on their websites they were the same and started badmouthing them on Reddit because they hate ND.

I tried Nova and they're pretty good so far, the sale going on is great, their packaging is great, they have labs, I got both orders overnite in one day, and they gave jelly beans and a free 250g bag with first order, two 50g samples and $10 gift card with 2nd order. I've only had time to try 3 strains so far but satisfied with it.

[Hulu2021]

I had them about 6 months ago (Nova) and i thought it was better than all the other bulk vendors to be honest.

Where are their labs? I looked all over the Nova website and can't find them anywhere.

I couldn't find them either but there's scan codes on the bags, you can email and ask for them.

[Stu Pidasso]

I got 8 different strains. All of them have been decent with a few being very good. The kratom all looks pretty close to the same color, but hey whatever. It work, I am happy and I got 3 kilograms.

[Clever Coyote]

Well......I'm personally VERY skeptical. That said I'm a cheap ass and couldn't pass up a $44 kilo (split 4 ways no less). It'll be here today. Strains that I ordered are red raiu, superior red dragon, super green and yellow elephant. Here's the thing......NOTHING I've ordered lately seems to have the effects I seek. Other than (maybe) a lil anxiety relief?

The last 3 orders from mitraman have seemed like "old dusty kratom" (fore lack of a better description). I also ordered from two other vendors and had bad luck there, too. I figured at $44 if it's garbage, oh well. Maybe it's time to say goodbye for me? or maybe the new goods will hit? kind of fun to wonder.....I'll try and come back to update. Busy as hell, but I think this is important for group consciousness.

Please update when you try them. I’ve got a tiny budget for awhile moving forward. I’m pretty stocked up on Liza’s, which has been my favorite vendor, but it would be nice to have a bunch of extra kratom for a cushion and maybe for blending with some of the hitters that I’ve got in order to make them last longer! Thanks!

I was actually in the process of posting some questions about Nova right when this post went up… maybe it’s a good synchronicity!

I'm actually stunned about TWO things---first of all, it was shipped freaking UPS and got here in less than 48 hours. I ordered late Saturday. Secondly I have never received any samples from any vendor (out of the 4 I've tried so far). Just candy. I appreciate it anyway, but this is much better.

These guys literally sent two samples 50 grams each (yellow indo and yellow horn). Why two yellows when my original order already had a yellow in it? no idea---but damn it --it's awesome so far (tried yellow indo at 5 grams and next time will knock it down a few). VERY RELAXING. It reminds me of the first red Bali I got from mitraman. It hit faster than I'm used to. Less than 20 minutes and I "felt it". I have not felt any strain from my last 3-4 orders (even though they were spread out with different vendors)

I ordered the first batch of kratom to help my ex with an issue he was having. I used it 6 years ago (for a short time to help me over a loss). Needless to say, I ended up enjoying it more than he did and decided to keep taking it, lol. I'm by no means 'super experienced' so take what I say with a sprinkle of salt. And I'm still skeptical ----is this bait & switch? I'm super curious to try the other 5 strains I have now. I'm even debating ordering another batch of different strains since the price is so right.

This is the first 'yellow' I've ever tried --since advice (for my ex) was to order reds. I do have two reds in this batch so up next will be the Super red dragon. I apologize if I don't come back to report, got Santa shit to take care of......so far my opinion is GO FOR IT. I got 1100 grams for $44 and free shipping. I'm not a shill for anybody (not even family) . This yellow is absolutely some of the best I've tried in the last year or however long it's been.

Happy Holidays everyone !

Well I wanted to try it out a few days. I can confirm the Superior Red Dragon, Yellow Maeng’, Super Green Malay, Super White, and Bentuangine are amazing. I’ve tried a few others I like, but those are the ones I have the most experience with so far. Honestly, I was quite pleased as I didn’t expect miracles at this price point. That is especially true with so many people talking about NDK owning this business. I dunno anything about NDK. I just know I have done two orders. Waiting on the 2nd to get here.

[WednesdayForestBear]

I can't stop buying split keys from them. I'm happily impressed. I first bought just on just the good price, but a few of them have been added to my heavy rotation.

[Stu Pidasso]

UPDATE!!

Been burning on this for almost two weeks if not more. I am very happy.

Yellow Maeng Da (blend with white or red if need be)
Superior Red Dragon
Super White
Green dragon
Red Bent
Super Green Malay
Red Bali

All of them are good!! I know I know, that seems kinda vague, but I am pleased. Every one of them seems to do exactly what I expect. Was not the biggest fan of the Green Malay, but the Super Green Malay was pretty good.

That is me right here. I figured $44 if I don’t like it I can extract it and practice my tech a little. Well turned out with the exception of one strain all of them are good. At $44 it is amazing.

Just received my third kilo with an extra two 50g samples and candy, even so I'm burning Denette and Benni's the past couple days. The boxes, packaging, price and shipping are all amazing and quality haven't determined yet, the last time I paid $56 because I ordered wrong, I chose four 250g bags individually without specifying split kilo but I emailed them and Monica sent a $12 discount code, amazing customer service as well. But this time no gift card in the box like last time.

I had Benni’s once and was very satisfied. I haven’t had the chance to try any of the private vendors yet but reading on here makes me think that Denette and TFH are the most highly regarded for having the best kratom. I usually stick to one or two vendors at a time just out of habit and familiarity. I was considering buying a split kilo Nova since the price is so low but I haven’t pulled the trigger just yet. . Please give an update on how you think the quality stacks up against the “regular” vendors..

I’ve mentally compartmentalized TFH, Denbette’s and probably Rhino into a separate “top tier” class (even though I haven’t tried any of them ). Anyway, I’m short on cash and have been exclusively ordering from Liza’s for awhile now. I’m still thinking about making a purchase from Nova to alternate but since money is low right now I’ve yet to do it. Let me know how you think it compares after you’ve sampled a few!

[xymoriintus]

Really curious about this stuff but how good can the quality be for a $44 kilo? How does the kratom compare to a place like DTE? I emailed and asked how long the sale will continue for, January 5th is when it ends so that's plenty enough time for me to figure it out and decide or not

Apparently not. It is December 30'th Accd. to the website, prices for split kg's are now 88.00 and there's a 20% off code posted at the top of the landing page. About same as everyone else.
Not a chance I'll pay too much considering they could run a sale for half of that for a long time, (maybe they thew the odds that you'll get your heart set on something and pay double anyway- the way too many larger companies do), are a larger business while claiming "small batch" to milk the trend when my actual kitchen table guys (not companies as some seem to think they are) are coping with much higher costs for delivery (like humongous fuel surcharges to get the goods) without raising prices and it's clearly not small batch- Just call it what it is & I'll respect that more (it can be "good kratom" either way) and is owned by someone I don't know.

If you care to have it, the half off discount code for them is "BF50" and is good until January 5th. I've made my mind up Its not at all worth flushing $44 down the toilet. I'm sure for less exp. kr users they're going to love it and in fact if you check Reddit, a ton of people do love it. So I guess it's all relative ya know.

[croja]

As long as you keep realistic expectations (generic reddit reviews are worthless) and you’re in the market for some bulk kratom for the stash, you could do much worse than Nova with the 50% off deal. I bought a split kilo just because money is tight right now and I figured if nothing else I could blend it with the quality stuff I have in rotation to help stretch it out a little more.

Their shipping is super fast, the bags are nice and sturdy, and they’re throwing in 100g’s of samples with most orders right now it seems. I was pleasantly surprised with the powder- nothing incredible, but serviceable enough that it gets the job done and I’ve been taking it on its own occasionally and not just as some filler stuff for blends. It wouldn’t win any contests for potency or freshness, but I’ve definitely had worse. At worst I would say it’s average bulk kratom. I doubt I’ll ever order from them again, but I’m glad I took advantage of the 50% off deal just because a kilo of generic kratom for $44 including 1-2 day shipping isn’t something I’ve seen very often.

Any quality updates? I’ve noticed that you post quite a bit and I’ve seen you mention some of the most popular vendors on here so I trust your judgement. I mainly order from Liza’s, sometimes Okies and Otie’s. Okie’s is pretty good and I’ve had a few bangers from them but Liza’s has some of my current favorites. Im leaning towards trying this because my cash is so low after Christmas but I’m still nervous about not knowing what I’m getting.

[Lokey]

Sorry but no, I have a lot of new stuff and haven't been trying the Nova much yet. I've been really stressed and feeling like nothing is working as great as it usually does. There's a few reviews on vendors of kratom and small batch subreddits, some say only a couple worked, others really like it a lot and some say it takes a few tries before it works but then it was good. I'd be willing to send you some but the 50% off code ends 1/5.

[add to descartes]

The last 3 orders from mitraman have seemed like "old dusty kratom" (fore lack of a better description)

yeah I tried MM for the first time a month ago, and was very disappointed. out of 4 strains, none of it had any effect, and one of them gave me extremely bad wobbles. it's not often that I get kratom that's that unbalanced. glad I only got half a kilo, but it still sucks to have thrown away $50+. they were very popular here awhile back, I don't know what happened to them.

[Lokey]

Any quality updates?

Hello Renob, decided to open a bag of Nova Green Riau to try first thing this morning to try and get a better idea on how it works, it's been really tough to judge because lately I don't feel well (never do when I wake up) and usually whenever I try a new vendor or strain I don't get noticeable or distinct enough results. I wanted green today and thought I grabbed a bag of Nova Green Dragon and opened the bag and looked at it and thought it looked awfully whitish and ashy for a green and read the label again, it was White Dragon. So I went back to the box and found Green Raiu and it was in fact greener. I took about 4g and had coffee and it did help me feel better. I decided to take a little more after about 1-1/2 - 2 hours just to see what effects I'll get. All I can say is so far it's done its job and I'm making breakfast.

Sorry, I was so busy I forgot to check back.
The code is still up as of this morning. My favorites out of the 4 keys are Superior Red Dragon, Red Gold, Yellow Sunda, Yellow Sumatra, Yellow Elephant, White Ketapang, White Thai, White Dragon, Green Bent, Super Green Indo, and Gold Bali.
Definitely worth the price.

[Clever Coyote]

Just returning to update my initial post.......weird thing happened, after the first two tries of the yellow I raved about? nothing else hit (not even the rest of the yellow) so I feel bad about being so upbeat. Perhaps the quality got better (why they raised prices? IDK
