need suggestions (it's been awhile)

[tophat]

It's been almost 3 years sense I ordered kratom. The whole stock pile epidemic back, ya know... Anyways what are the good vendors now days?

For instance I always went thru Socalherbalremedies (which is now firstcoastteaco.com), etc for my "Cheap kratom" ($87 kilos type). The only other place I used was DG Botanicals for my "top shelf" kratom collection...

So what is good now? Is first coast tea still "so-so", where you might get lucky and get a good strain/batch still or at least just "okay" kratom?

Can you guys refer me to some vendors that are "cheap" but good? I'm guessing DG is still very good, right?

Thanks

Fused Flora has great leaf and very reasonable prices. Also, apply for a membership with Lucky Herbals, his leaf is easily in the top 3 for me for this season, and very reasonable prices as well, plus he's having a sale currently on select batches, I believe it's $70 kilos for his Green MD, and 20% off all of his leaf (though he is out of a lot of his stock, and the sale is to make room for the restock, but there is still plenty of fire to be had). MitraMan has exceptional leaf and $88 kilos. \m/

The ten recommended vendors '$' on Saidit Top 40 Vendor List, are all good... 4-way Split Kilos are $70 to $90 everywhere... not really "cheap" that's normal USA prices online!

Otherwise... Hype is everywhere. There are still over 300 "online vendors" wanting your money... The MeWe social platform has been good, but those tiny batch vendors Import from the same Indonesia sources as others do... Nobody's got an exclusive!! But of course sources are closely guarded secrets lol. - One big change from 3 years ago? Much of the USA market now is Wholesale, 100 Ton container loads of crap quality, sold at Retail shops.

SoCal, now First Coast, still has lots of customers... not sure about their Facebook group? Yes, they were known to import a range of quality. Lots of very average kratom... A few real winners (SoCal Red Bali batches, June 2018)... They import large enough loads, you might find a good batch? The super small guys, Sell Out quality batches sometimes within 24 hours? It's still... Good kratom goes fast!

Speaking of hype... DG ?? Who knows. Read the DG threads here on MM. Someone sez he's trolling here. Others say he's Private only and not really importing much these days. Again... Top quality kratom goes for $100 or less, per split. Not $450 for a so-called Premium.

I never saw “DG Botanicals” and “cheap” in the same paragraph. Ha!

Ballz vendor list is a good resource, and he also breaks down price per gram. Very useful.
