Wanna give a huge shoutout to Smiley

Post by Zeedra »

I ordered a sampler batch of 100g of wild red borneo and also received a small sample of a Gold strain a little while ago as I'm trying to find a new go-to vendor, since my previous one is a bit of a crapshoot and I'm on a limited income. I tried it a handful of times last week and wasn't getting much out of it, so I emailed smiley simply to ask if he had any complaints for one of his batches. It could, of course, just be my body chemistry, so I was just curious and not even complaining.

No questions asked, I had a shipping confirmation in my email within the next hour and I just received an equivalent order of two different red strains for me to try. Just want to give a nod to Smiley's customer service, as that's above and beyond. I also very much appreciate the fact that he saw my previous order and context clues from the email and determined that I only really enjoy red strains, which is true, so that's what he sent me instead of random colors. The fact that he was willing to go above and beyond for customer service instills a lot of confidence in me when making bulk orders, because as I mentioned I'm on a very limited income and can't afford to mess around too much.

I haven't gotten around to trying it yet, but I will here shortly and will update if anyone is interested. The strains I have now are Red Kali and Red Thai. I'm also interested in hearing anyone else's opinion on these two strains if you've tried them!

Thanks again!

Smiley is great. What you should do is have a vendor pick out some strains based on what spec you enjoy. Because I can guarantee that if you didn’t know what “color” the name was, you’d be surprised on how much great leaf you’re missing out on, based on whatever name/color the supplier is calling it.

That's true, I may be. Once I had a vendor send me a sample of white borneo and i eventually tried it as I had run out of everything else and it was actually surprisingly mellow. Generally though, whites and greens tend to be too stimulating. I have extreme anxiety and I can't even have a Dr. Pepper without having an anxiety attack, so I try to stick with reds always, even though I've had some "fast" reds, they tend to work well for anxiety 90% of the time.

Btw, I tried the OG Red Kali and it's fire! Low-mid spec, high quality fresh green leaf. Perfect for daytime use, which is the only time i burn. Smiley, you rock

apologies to the mods for posting this in general discussion, i thought i'd have to be reviewing a specific strain to post here but i missed where it said "opinion on a strain OR vendor"

Smiley is a good dude for sure some of the best customer service if ever experienced! Wish all vendors were that way .About 10 out of the hundreds in my experience really care. Others just think your out to get them which there is alot of people who have no reason to use kratom and think its all so called bunk b3cause they are not blown away !

Anyone have an opinion on Smiley's Red Bali vs. Red Bali 2.0? need help deciding on another split. I'm thinking I want to try one of his Red Balis as well as Red Smile next.

Love Smiley's Red Bali but don't think I tried the 2.0 yet. I've had a lot of their stuff but don't think I did that one. The regular is so good though. Finally trying out a small dash of his Whites this round. White kratom is always the most hit or miss for me (sadly mostly miss) but I wanted to get a feel for his stuff and see if I get any of the benefits that others do from that type/strain/etc.

Kratom is weird. I too suffer from bad anxiety. I’m in recovery so I don’t do benzos. They are the devil. But kratom saved my life. Most people can’t handle a fast white. I love them! Maybe anxiety hits people differently. Weirdly enough greens and whites help my anxiety tremendously. I barely ever take reds anymore

Red Bali 2.0 is great, but what really blew me away was a new blend, "Secret Smile." It contains a blend of red, green and gold.

Guess what. I smiled. And it's no longer secret that I'm in love with the stuff!

I have plenty of the gold smile, red smile, and green smile, which I believe are the ingredients to secret smile (pm me if interested ;) ). for some reason the smiles (except for the white) just don't work for me as well as the glows. Which isn't to say theyre bad of course by any stretch of the imagination... the glows just seem to really jive with me.. The red glow and green glow are absolutely fire, but it is nice to combine with a white or green personally.

I still want want to try the white glow and golden glow!

I think those of us who "toss and wash" have a definite green smile :lol:

I want to add to the chorus of smiley love. I don't think I've ever had a disappointing batch. His "Green Glow" today had me super-duper happy.
