RVA Herbals Quick Review

[Nadles]

I received my order from RVA yesterday. Ordered Tuesday April 20th.

White Big Bang #41519

Green Big Bang #41519

PMD (Will edit and add batch number later)

All I can say is wow. All three of them are top notch quality. I haven't had anything this good in awhile, that's for sure.

PMD hits hard as always. I tested with 3.5 Grams instead of the usual 5 Grams for a dose. Hit as harder then most strains I take 5 Grams of. Typical PMD feeling. Very Euphoric, not too fast or slow to me. Just overall really great and packs a punch.

White Big Bang. Not very fast for a white. Also tested with 3.5 Grams instead of my normal 5 grams. Also hit harder compared to my average dose has been lately. Euphoric and great for pain. Kept me motivated to do some stuff.

Green Big Bang. This was a bit of a shock for me, but I believe it's my favorite of the three without a doubt. This stuff HITS, checks all the boxes. More euphoric then the others, energizing but not overwhelming at all. Also tested by taking 3.5 Grams instead of my normal 5 grams. I'm pleasantly surprised. Will most likely reorder this ASAP and grab a Kilo, or 10 Kilos...

I will definitely add more if I come across any other thoughts, but they all are great. I think Green BB is my favorite, followed by PMD, and lastly White BB. Still beats most of the other stuff in my stash. All of them are really great. I bet White and Green BB together would be amazing.

Did you by chance try the white big bang batch before this? It came out 121518, and has gotten really good reviews. Just wondering how it compares.

I didn't, this is my first time trying White BB at all. It's really good, but unfortunately don't have anything to compare it too in that way. It's definitely my favorite white I've tried.

I have that December batch Beat. Its very nice! RVA was my goto vendor before I started hanging around Double M and got turned on to the other favorites. And now that I have tasted Smiley, KOG, Liza etc. I 'm thinking how does RVA leaf compare. The nice thing about Double M is you can get detailed sensitive reviews from people you know. From Facebook its harder to get a feeling for whats what. I could never pull the trigger on an RVA Red cause the Facebook folks were all over the place, lol. I think I will place an order though, I'm curious how thir PMD stacks up against STH for example. Of course with RVA there are no reasonables samples which is another obstacle to buying for me. Mr Smiley has a freat business model. I know Jonathons not hurting for customers either. Though Ive never seen Jonathon talking about the quality if his leaf.

Same here. I started with RVA and now have been trying new ones out each time. I feel like RVA is the gold standard of vendors and a perfect vendor to start out with while you become acquainted with kratom. But after a year, Rva felt like I wasn't getting much from it, same strain/same vendor syndrome, which was the impetus for branching out. Ive never had much luck with rva reds either. The white big bang and PMD still work really well though. Hard to beat his prices, it sucks going from paying $78 for a kilo shipped up to $92-99, but it's worth it to find different leaf. Smiley is definitely comparable to RVA in quality overall, perhaps better, although I didn't try his pmd because there were other strains that sounded more appealing. I think it's the same with everyone, vendors have some standout strains that are comparable to others standouts. I think RVA white big bang is just as good as Smiley's super green 3 for example.

i also went through a period where rva became "stale" got me to branch out, but im back to rva again. mainly because of price, payment options, and shipping. wish botanical bunny still had old payment methods

but love pmd from rva, as well as gold md.

Yeah always a good experience. I do have trouble evaluating his inventory and with split kilos and no samples I dont feel like experimenting often. Have a lot of old stock I havnt opened yet. Yellow Indo, and Hulas and PMDs and Balis from days gone buy,

@Beat love the prices especially when you get 4/4 winners. Right now I'd probaly do WBB GBB and 2 PMDS. Its all I know

I hardly ever hit 4 for 4! that's some serious luck getting a quarter of that wbb is seriously tempting. I hardly have any of the December batch left, I think I'm going to put the rest away for future me.
Ime, his green aceh, white Bali, and white maeng da are usually good. I like his red stem and vein a lot too, it's a good addition to any blend.
It's hard to trust the reviews on his FB group because there's a lot of first timers that can get good effects from any strain. I used to be on mewe but got tired of it

I have at least tried if not currently still have and use almost every green, gold, and red strains from RVA. More than happy to help point ya in the right direction of the types of reds you prefer since I saw you saying haven't really tried any due to not liking the Facebook group which I don't totally blame ya haha. I am a part of that group as well a few others including Carolina Kratom and that CK is by far the worst group out of all of them in my opinion! But yeah anyways, like I said if you'd like some pointers just lmk....

[beathappening]

I appreciate it. I've tried both his golds, royal bent and several reds, but that was last year around this time so maybe they were just bad batches. I typically like the slowest, heaviest reds, as I usually take those at night or in the middle of the night to get back to sleep.
I'm trying a bunch of different new vendors now, but I will undoubtedly go back to RVA at some point, or when I'm strapped for cash.

I'm not hating on his fb group, it's just that usually there's no consensus on what's really good and their recommendations haven't been very helpful to me. None of them seem to pay attention to batch numbers either or get too terribly specific about the strains. I just have better luck here, I prefer the culture here.

The new BB payment method is super, super easy and without that processing fee so its actually cheaper. Plus BB seems to process the order quicker since funds are immediately noticed and available. Plus the 4way code drops the kilo down to RVA prices as long as you buy more than one at a time. Reddit20 drops one kilo down to near rva prices.
