Soul

[Surfer71]

I know Soul's business model isn't the most popular on this board, but his leaf is outstanding. Yes, there are alot of small batch vendors that provide very good quality Kratom but i have been fortunate to get some real gems from Souls drops as of lately. His new green bali is fantastic. Perfectly balanced mid with great mood lift. Alone its great, but man this strain blends so well. I took some this morning with STH's Thai MD and i will say this is a great combination of energy, focus and mood lift. Just knocked out 30 minutes of cardio(workout) and i am ready to get the day started. If anyone has these two strains try them together, it"s a great get up and go combination.

It doesn’t get much better than Soul in my opinion. I placed two orders last drop. It’s really not that crazy of a way to get his leaf. Get an email, set your alarm, pick what you want, and if one is out by checkout, get one that’s available and 9/10 times it’ll blow your doors off.

Its nice but i managed to try it once and succeeded with the order. I can assure you, Mitra fused, dennetes some of the smileys and lizas and others has also good above average leaf. I tried them, its good. But no one is missing out on anything what other vendors have in stock. Its kinda like Liza and smileys has so much, and some of them gems no one got or not reviewed so the gems just sitting their! But once someone figures them out it gets sold out fast especially if their like 4 positive reviews of it. So last 2 emails i got from soul, i just smiled, read it and left it alone not bothering with the drop. you really not missing out on anything since their are tons good vendors around. Luckys Herbals is on top 3 for me. Seems like always a hit no matter what. But variety with different signatures to it, TFH hands down. TFH is just different and very enjoyable to feel those different feels. Soul is more like Sosa, mitra and fused kratom it seems.

I must respectfully disagree, brave777- I agree with a lot of what you post but all the vendor's you mentioned have distinct strains IMO.

Now I'm not saying EVERY strain from each vendor qualifies with exceptional distinction, but each has provided me at least a few offering's that have stood out as special.

I just got 4 strains off the last soul drop and was blown away. My phrasing after trying them, in effort to say thanks, was "gee guys, just when I thought I tried all the best varieties of leaf I get you're red kali and all the sudden it's like a new discovery all over again"

If I didn't have Soul leaf, I certainly think I'd be missing or unaware of it's nature. That isn't to say there isn't a plethora of other amazing options from other vendors but by the same token, Soul leaf couldn't replace my White Takengon from fused nor my Green Malay from Mitra Man or my premium green horn 4 from heavensleaf... or Supreme MD from Rhino, or my Relaxation Elixer from Liza's, or my Grampa White from Denette, or my Red Sumatra from Sosa... point made.

I understand you're point in trying to make folks feel OK about not catching stock that vanishes in 90 seconds but there is a definite reason WHY it sells out that fast. To say otherwise would be neglecting to give credit where credit is most certainly due.

And this is the beauty of kratom to me. Just because you are totally satisfied with you're favorite vendor and current stash there is still always more out there to discover or re-discover. Variety may very well be the spice of life, but it is the essence or "soul" of a good kratomic routine

I managed to nab some of the green bali and tried it for the first time today too. Holy shit this strain is on a different level. Even the taste is wholly unique.

Yes, the Green Bali is fantastic. I was able to grab some Green Tanjung as well from this drop. I read Mike's notes and he said its an upper mid. Going to try it in the AM. I have a stockpile of Kratom from about 8 small batch vendors I keep in rotation There is something to say about the consistency and quality of Soul's leaf that make it very appealing.

every strain from soul is a gem!
(prove me wrong)

Brave - the funny thing is you bring up these other vendors - you really think that I don’t have those? It’s not as if I only buy from Soul drops. I have Fused, MM, about 6 kilos from TFH (multiple batches) Lucky, STH, etc etc) Opinions vary, but it seems like you’re one of the people that seems to have an issue with Soul. You chime in everytime he’s mentioned in a post. Without fail. I certainly don’t mind. More for me and everyone else. I just got a STH order 2 weeks ago and I was disappointed personally. All batches that people were drooling over. More Soul for the people that wanna take 10 minutes out of their day to purchase from a drop. And I’m not saying the other vendors you mention aren’t good, I wouldn’t also buy them and have them in my stash if they were, obviously.

I have one from Soul that is so awesome, I try not to use it that often. I don't want it to go away . It is revered in my tub of Kratom.

Honestly, I think Brave777 and Klyded are both right. I buy from Soul and it’s a major pain in the ass. It’s an upside-down business model that can lead to a lot of stress and nothing to show for it. On the other hand, Soul’s last three drops have been amazing. For those looking to try Soul leaf, keep an eye on Trading Post, or do a ISO post.

Fully agree with you and this was the very reason for my post. Yes, I have good strains from every vendor that was mentioned I keep in my rotation. My point is Soul's drops as of lately has produced some real gas. There is a reason why he sells out within minutes of his drop going live. (Supply vs Demand).
