My top vendors are TFH, DTE, and LSMS..... As far as the last DTE drop.... The Green JK Elite is good as well, the other three I got are okay nothing to write home about. The K18 fiasco was sketch, threw away all my leaf from that drop. Never been sick from dosing kratom (outside of puking once or twice from too big a dose) as I'd like to think I have a strong stomach but I expect the vendors I purchase from to take the necessary precautions to
keep the leaf bug and contaminant free.
Bugs, Bacteria, contaminants, and heavy metals (Lead, mercury arsenic, etc.)

WHY ?? It's 2026 - there is NO need to Buy or consume, ANY "Raw Kratom" crapola since this Industry has evolved - BOOMED - the past 2-3 years...
Anyone can READ my posts here since 2019, I always recommended a Extraction = "Red Bubble Tea",

or some method of NOT eating the dirt !! ALL Raw Powder = 98% Dirt / 2% Alkaloids, and... we only want the Alkaloids - yes ? So, back to DTE - the #1 Quality product DTE sells - is the
Solar Flare Extract - around 65% Mitragynine.
Vendors = NOW in 2026, you have a few "types" of Vendors... the "Online Retail" that sell -
Brand Name Kratom products (which are ONLY available since 2023!) ~ All of the
Advanced Alkaloid products - 7OH, Pseudo, MGM, etc... Yes there are SOME very good Kratom products, developed by & sold in Retail stores.
Then -
Online Vendors - who Do NOT sell the Retail products... you've got like 3 different groups: 1- AKA Affiliated - the AKA "Criminal Cartel", Happy Hippo, and Kats, and MIT-45, etc. I think most people here, will agree - Do Not support any AKA Affiliated vendors. Why ? Mainly - Low quality and Ripoff prices!
OK then, we have the NON AKA, vendors who for some reason, allow AKA to dictate - WHAT kratom products they can SELL ? OR "Wannabee" vendors who DON'T sell the new 7OH,
Advanced Alkaloids - DTE, MitraMan, Philly, its a long list.. Many very SMALL operators who really can't afford
Lab Testing 
/ can't afford to carry 7OH products.
Finally - the SPECIAL vendors! Either "Private" and unique like TFH - OR a few like TOP "That One Place", and ANA "All Natural Artisan"... who DO sell
Advanced products, extracts, and 7OH - either directly or through separate websites... and the newer 7OH Vendors like "RAW MIT" and -
Kratomheads.com - those are where I shop these days. Should be interesting to see, WHO survives the DEA "Ban" this week.
