Vendor/strain suggestions for energy?

[Billiegoat]

I hear mixed things about color and type. White seems to be historically suggested for energy but I’ve also had good experiences with some greens, specifically super green. Lately no matter the dose I feel really tired afterwards. And suggestions are super appreciated!

Cut your dose in half. If that doesn't work, cut it in half again. You would be surprised how little you need to get noticeable effects. Just an idea that worked for me.

Totally agree. I get very good energy/lift from aprox. 1.2-1.6g of good quality kratom nearly everyday. Prior to that dose range, I'd gotten up to around 2.3-2.8g and found that kratom was often making me tired and not actually feeling very pleasant at all. But that's my body chem.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve been dosing 1x tsp multiple times per day. I will start dosing a half. I need to get myself on a schedule. How many times per day is too many to dose?

Get a mg scale, cheap on Amazon. Total game changer, you will get more consistent results than trying to use a tsp. Absolute necessity.

As for number of doses per day, it varies from person to person. Some have effective burns 4x/day, lucky buggahs, some less. I can only dose 1x/day, or maybe 2x if spread way apart.

For energy, you want to take smaller doses, as the more kratom you take, the more sedating the effect. And dose size varies from person to person, and the particular batch of kratom. Ex- Vendor X may have a green Bali from June 2021 and you found that 4g was a good dose. But then you try their green Bali newer batch from August 2021 and get the results you want from 1g! So lots of trial and experimenting. Good luck!

Yes, absolutely to a scale. Lots of reasonably good small ones on Amazon for around $10-$12. You'll be able to find your sweet spot(s) and control your dosages more effectively.

And yes; Like IDI, I've never really been able to get more than two good burns a day. Morning dose on empty stomach has always remained the best and I try to wait at least 8 hours before my second dose (and often don't make it, but always wait at least 6 hours). Taking multiple doses per day is tempting when one is first really enjoying kratom, but it's ultimately what often drives tolerance up for many of us!
