Benni kratom. Super let down. 1/10 was good

[Benjamin-West712]

Maybe it wasn’t my lucky order. But the red one circled. Super Borneo was the only decent bag out of all 13( samples included)

Better luck next time? Idk. Must say benni is super sweet, fast and kind and compassionate Good dude. But 12/13 bags were duds. Had super high hopes for it all. Especially green goddess.

Super Borneo was the only standard quality imo. I’ll give him another chance when I have more funds.

Benni. You are a good dude.


Edit


I’ve been taking kratom for over 5 years, never had this many duds.


Godspeed

Since been using Kratom 5 years.... What is your dosing regiment? How much per serving.... How often??? When was your last tolerance break?? This are all important factors to take into consideration in these type situations. Especially, since we are talking about a popular and respected vendor in which you also seemed to have recieved a decent number of what most other members consider his standouts...

I dose 3.75-5 grams 4 times a day. 5 years straight. No break. Ever dose is usually euphoric and feel good. My go to is tfh, old herbal salvation, iwan and old Dg.


I see so much benni praise I hated to post this. I shall give him another shot one day when I can risk the gamble. Super great guy though. Amazing person.

very good points. I know I won't/can't do any justifiable reviews until I have my GPD at a respectable level and my tolerance down. not that it's horrible... just not good enough to get an accurate read on a new strain. I know I can't get a good read on any new strain unless it's within very specific parameters (lengthened time between doses, at a low(er) GPD, ideally a decent tolerance break beforehand...). I'd love to do some great, helpful (hopefully) reviews, but, personally, I know this will have to wait.

on the other hand... it is important that members feel comfortable leaving their own, honest, opinions. I would just be sure to include the related, pertinent, information with that review so others have a good idea the context in which the evaluation exists.

I'd be interested in hearing more about the parameters Ace mentioned. especially because I had it narrowed down to Benni's as my next big vendor to try!

[starshine]

I just saw you posted some of that info. hmm... was thinking of not going a whole kilo beforehand... so maybe that's a better idea than I thought. thank you.

Benjamin West a veteran I remember you from the Reddit days in 2017 - thanks for taking time to post this

Even without this Review - Benni has a BIG selection!! He started out with a large menu including some Smiley, Beleafer, etc US vendor stuff.. that seems like a good business model, to me... But makes it hard for buyers. Having a TON of choices, everyone wants to know which are best.. obviously Benni can't say because he wants to sell everything. Liza's is another vendor with > 100 "strains" in stock.

Ballz what’s up. Who you feeling these days? How’s it going. Hope all is well and healthy G

[DennisHopper]

I wasn't too happy with my last order either. Smileys Super Green Kali, PMD, Red Bali, Beleafer Yellow Malay and Zoom, Bennis' Green Goddess and Yellow Maeng Da wound up in the inert box. I did enjoy a sample of the Red Goddess though

[cheddarbear]

Of course I just ordered a bunch. Price was dope tho. $75 for a kilo split 10 ways. We’ll see how it is. I’ve only heard good things and wanted to switch it up from the usual mitraman or smiley.

[Damen ck]

I'm in agreement with OP. Felt kind of bad cuz he's such a nice guy and got so many great reviews. You can always put it up on the trading post. I'm sure with all the fans here it'll get scooped up quick.

Hey Cheddarbear,
I am one the gets excellent results with Benni. His Kratom is one of my top favorites. There was another person who posted that he didn't get much effects from his leaf but came back and tried it a few days later and lowered his dose with great results. So don't worry...as we all know chemistry is everything with Kratom...along with a multitude of other factors. Let us know how Benni's leaf jives with your chemistry.

[Beastmode]

Benni is absolute fire to me his new green goddess is amazing please message me about what strains and I'll take off y'all's hands.

[cheddarbear]

I def got 100g of green goddess. But I’m totally gonna try them all first. I’m still exited about Benni’s for sure. One review is just one review.

And I’d def encourage people to be comfortable posting negative reviews because they are important. We all know how kratom works tho with body chemistry and all that shit. If negative reviews start piling up though it’s when a lot of people will move on. Remember how much mystic island was highly praised like at least a year ago? Everyone started getting shitty batches and now no one really talks about them anymore.

Yap i agree even if its one negative review of a fire batch it wont do no damage. But if many have bad reviews it will lose him customers and people will move on. thats only fair for all vendors. and vendors have plenty of time to make up and not sell if like 5 negative reviews of that one specific batch. Numbers always counts, it gets corrupt governments replaced and much more. so keep out for any vendors reviews and everyone should be encouraged to type an negative review of any batch from any vendor even if chemistry dont agree or your dumb and dont know how to use it. alright alright, that was a joke.

Mystical Island is def a good example. he had plenty of time to make up and loss some profit, in return he would keep his customers. when you get greedy you lose everything. At the time i think he was even on the forum seeing comments and all but didnt want to take a hit. If it was a supplier trick issue its no way customers issue, its the vendor who decided to sell it. and if vendors dont have any testers the fault is on them.

[cheddarbear]

So far I’ve tried the premium green kapuas and the wild green Hulu from the order I received yesterday. Both are awesome. I got a couple samples with the order too.

[LuLu]

Benni is a great guy!! Totally cool, and helpful in every way possibly.....BUT my last order had 3 different bags that did nothing for me. Does that mean anything or say anything about Benni and his Kratom?? Nope....just means my body is being a dick right now, and doesn’t want to play nicely with some strains.
I’ll set them back and once my body is done throwing its bitch fit....I’ll break the out.
Of course that means....another great vendor I love will be sidelined and timed out cuz once again....a power struggle is going on with my body.

[GrannyJ62]

I haven't tried Bonnie's yet but he's next on my list just saw a great review on his white teku her

I've actually found that to be true of several vendors/strains I have tried and thought I didn't like. even starting lower with a new one... I found it was still too much. and when I lowered it even more... magic. tricky little fella that's for sure. darn it lol

Hi Starshine...Exactly...I am always more than pleasantly surprised when I lower my dose (so easy for doses to start creeping up) and kaboom..the magic hits!...Kratom is definitely a magical and tricky fella...I am so intrigued by this medicinal plant. I need to constantly remind myself that less can be more most of the time. It is such a dance with Kratom

[Cbest011]

Yes Jezabels, you are right about that! I’ve been lowering my doses this past week and it’s helping! Prior to that I wasn’t really feeling much but sedation from my doses. I started lowering them a week ago and as of yesterday I’ve been feeling every dose kick in that I’ve taken! And it’s not sedating me! Because of course the more I took the sleepier I’d get. It really is a unique plant and also figuring out your chemistry with certain strains too is a whole other dance as well

[Bubba]

I actually quit kratom (25 days today), but the last time I ordered for myself it was from Benni. I was pleased. Some of it worked too well actually... My partner still takes kratom and I just put another order in with Benni and now I’ve got my sister and her husband (4 year kratom users) on Benni. They all love it.

I did my research here and saw what people loved and took my chances on just a couple... I ordered the Gold Bali and out of 10, it was the only one I didn’t like... But my partner absolutely loved it. Made me order more actually.

[gravystainonmyshirt]

Of course I just ordered a bunch. Price was dope tho. $75 for a kilo split 10 ways. We’ll see how it is. I’ve only heard good things and wanted to switch it up from the usual mitraman or smiley.

Dang, Is that $75 shipped to the US? Or is it $75 plus shipping, I would imagine that it is plus shipping though because 75 is a pretty good price if you’re splitting at 10 ways especially.

But I don’t know if I would feel like ordering again if 12 out of 13 streams were no good for your body chemistry. might consider just ordering specific strains from a vendor that people in doublemherbals are raving about so you can reduce the amount of duds that you get next time you order. But it is very understanding of you, body chemistry does have a lot to do with it so you might have just got a group of a seasonal batch that just didn’t work right with you

[cheddarbear]

$75 and no cost for shipping. You just need to use the promo code, I think it’s “doublem” but I found it searching this forum so it’s on there someone. Then just pick 10 100mg bags and at the end it will all add up to $75.

[9sam1]

I had the same experience with Benni and Fused despite so many rave reviews. I’ve also been a mostly daily user for 5 years oddly enough.

I’ve had the most success recently with Red Maha Kali from viable solutions by have had trouble finding much else that works. Any suggestions on strains?

Viable solutions Maha Kali is well known for being an enhanced blend meaning it has extract added which is why you feel nothing compares..... Cuz it's not plain leaf. You should only use that type of stuff on special occasions or severe pain instances honestly. Otherwise, like it seems currently, your tolerances will quickly increase and not much else will ever really do the trick.

Best bet, is to make sure you're using only plain leaf on a regular basis and establish a base line/lowest dose possible and go from there, good luck friend!!

i used maha kali for awhile also and it probably fkd my tolerance but sosa reds and TFH red muna give close to the same effects if not better.. still searching other vendors to add to the rotation but haven't tried too many yet.

To follow up: the only one out of the 10 I got that I really liked was the premium green kapuas. Definitely recommend it. The rest were either inconsistent or just meh. That being said, the Benni’s price is great, shipping and packaging is great and I’m just gonna assume that we ordered during a moment of mediocrity.

Haven't tried yet

Benni does refunds

[ScottyK]

Benni’s switched suppliers at least 6 months ago. I got an entire order that was bunk. It was a period when he was running low and I don’t know if he went back to the old stuff. I wasn’t thrilled with the response when I emailed so I haven’t been willing to take the risk.

[Playerpiano72]

I didn't know about the refunds. Wish I had, because I had a similar experience to OP, except 10/10 were bunk/had no effect with the exception of giving me bad wobbles and nausea..to be frank it was some of the worst kratom ive ever tried..not just not good, but actively bad. That was a year or so ago though, so it's good to hear he's got a different supplier. however I'm still turned off from giving it another shot after finding several other very reliable vendors. Other people love benni, but it didn't work out for me

Yeah it just hit me out of nowhere I made a post on trading page then thought wonder if you can return kratom looked it up and yup so instead of trading it for half price got the full refund so I suggest looking at refunds if you don’t like from anywhere

[Echo686]

Just to clarify, is this Benni's Botanicals we're talking about? I just put in a fat order for them because the last time I ordered from them it was all pretty good. That was awhile ago and RAVED about them on here.

[oftheshire]

Yes echo. I just got my first ever order from Benny a few weeks ago and love it. The white teku didn’t work for me too well (only tried a couple burns with it so far) but the green lida is a new favorite. I just got the two but the lida, id put up against any good vendor!
When I used my normal dose, I didn’t get much from the green lida. But I recently cut my dose by a few grams and that’s what made the lida click for me

[IjustFeltLikeRunnin’]

I also received an order from Benni’s a few weeks back, and did enjoy pretty much everything I got. I would say, I found the reds to be less euphoric than others I’ve tried, but the Super Red Indo quickly became my favorite. Green Goddess was also right up there with it. The only one that I really got nothing out of was the Premium Green Kapuas, which is one I’ve read lots of people rave about. I’ve taken Benni’s out of my rotation for now, but fully intend on coming back to it in the future.

Same with me. I've only ordered from them once. A couple to few months ago.

The batches I ordered had raving reviews here.

Completely bunk.

Doesn't work for me, all 4.

I know it's not just me, because my cousin who is new to kratom didn't like it either, and same with my friend I sold some too who requested to switch with other stuff.


It sucks, because I've always heard great things... And want to try again... But when everything you order is not just average, but bunk... It's tough to be willing to order another kilo of throw away kratom.


I know shit happens, but the best vendors in my eyes will not sell the bunk batches, and will sooner say "out of stock for now! Be back soon!".

At least that's what I think of when I think about Texas Family Harvest.

I don't "hit" with TFH all the time, but I've NEVER had a bunk batch from them. Not once, and I have EVERY strain they have in stock currently (batch, we know, strains aren't a real thing)


It sucks... I should try Benni again though, but bunk batches are a super turn off.

FYI, other places I received below average to bunk batches were Kratom Distro and Mitra Gaia. Mitra Gaia is garbage.

Kratom distro... Well, I only tried 4 batches, but I will say, their kratom extract is great for the price, and if you seek extracts, they are a good source.
