Fused Flora's Red MaengDa / highly recommend / reason for coming back to a nonhitting batch

[IndelibleDotInk]

I have a difficult time finding reds which hit for me. I thought this was a no go, having tried it a few times. So I traded some and had just a bit left at the bottom of a bag, about 10g, just sitting in one of the cases I store my kratomic necessities in. Decided to try 5g, a largish dose for me, and got the ol' Fused patented jet lift off feeling, actually could have had 3.5g as a better dose, nice warm blanket body and mind relaxation, a bit too much, actually, head got swimmy for awhile. Moral of the story is not to write off as a dud some batches which don't hit at first, I have had (rare) misfires from each of my favorite, reliable vendors, keep rotating, play with dose size, pay attention to your body, find a buddy here who has a similar pattern of likes/dislikes and share notes. Much love to Shaun and fam for being people who care and have great product.

which batch is that one, Mike? I may have some of it.

I don't have the bag handy, but it was more than a few months ago... moved to Ewa Beach mid March, had it quite awhile before we moved, I'd say sometime last year when the yellow and gold mds got hyped. I need to revisit those too, plus a few greens.

I'm ok with what I got, tons of new stuff to try, but thanks for asking! I'm still glowing happy from the walter white I traded you for! Do you kno wwhat happened to Sacred Son anyway? I think they stopped making Walter, and they didn't return my emails, so dunno wth to think.

I have a bunch of 1 ounce samples from TFH (from WhiteAngelica here, I don't have a membership) that surprisingly just don't hit for me, and she and I have similar tastes in kratom.

I've put them aside to come back to at a later date. I'm sure it's my crazy body chemistry and not TFH, but it at least makes me feel like I'm not actually missing much by not having a membership. Hopefully they'll hit sometime in the future, but I was definitely surprised at how little success I had.

Some people need less than normal serving, so take a few several tries to dial in the right dose. Despite how good they are, it's not uncommon to have a few batches which need tweaking, or even a rare fizzle. I love all TFH golds, but their Wild Crafted Gold just does not hit for me despite being adored by just about everyone else. Lavender has a TFH sampler out at the moment, you might want to try.

If you haven't, read Chris TFH aka gumbyke1 's look behind the scenes post for a surely wonderful and terrible tale of kratom.

My current usual dose is 2 grams. I have success with Rhino, Lucky, Heaven Leaf, Fused Flora, etc. at that dosage, but not TFH for whatever reason. I've tried 3 grams with similar results, 10 different types. I have weird body chemistry though, so I'd chalk it up to that. I will return to these after a few weeks, hopefully with greater success.

Have you tried less, starting at 1g? Many people report success with a smaller dose of TFH.

I had a 2g dose of Green Bali 74 an hour ago that's hitting well right now. One gram is usually not enough to get my chronic pain in check, but perhaps I should revisit the others at a lower dose.

Thank you SO MUCH for this post! VERY informative!

... had just a bit left at the bottom of a bag ...

so essentially it oxidized into a working alkaloid profile?

No, no extra oxidation, was sealed tightly and not exposed to the atmosphere or outside conditions. The difference was tolerance and body chemistry.

It's really amazing how you can sit on one for 4-5 months that you didn't get much from and then think "Wow, this is a nice one!"

Glad you enjoyed it again bro

Generally my issue has been dosing too low over too much, but the majority of people here seem to dose too high, especially TFH or other 'clean' and 'strong' batches.

least you dont have to worry about WDs, to much dosing can be a bad thing if you dont keep your self in check and skip a day or two with no kratom. If you do know how to keep your self in check, dont worry bumb the reds up a bit. you will feel it 100%. more works better for pain, 2 grams is not enough for pain i think.
