Question for Recent Fused Flora customers: high energy strains?

Hi everyone, I recently received my first order from Fused Flora and while I could not be more delighted by the excellent customer service, quick shipping and free samples, I am not sure what to order from there next time.
Anyhow, basically, I look for energy, because I've got a bunch of medical conditions that cause fatigue.
With other vendors, Green MD worked pretty well for me, but the Green MD from Fused relaxes me in small doses (two grams) and makes me sleepy if I go higher. And the green kapuas sample I tried made me nauseous to the point of vomiting. Has anyone else had similar issues with Fused Floras green strains?
Shaun also sent a Super White sample and I think that gave me energy but I would like to hear what other Fused Flora customers have to say about strains they tried recently.
Again, I am looking for energy above all else -- more than pain relief and / or euphoria (not that I wouldn't love euphoria, but getting my ass in gear to get through the day is my biggest priority).
Many thanks in advance for your input!
PS: if there is a strain from another vendor that gave you exceptional energy, I would still like to hear about it. But the ease of ordering from FF and Shaun's terrific service really appeal to me.

No guarantees, but try 1g, sometimes a low dose is more stimulating while a larger dose is sedating.

White takengon is speedy, white kapuas got super hyped this past year.

@IndelibleDotInk, thanks for the tips. What do you mean when you say "superhyped" -- is superhyped good or do you mean it was over-rated?
PS: re single gram dose ... I find it hard gauging less than a 2 gram dose in tea and usually don't do toss & wash, due to a gastro condition, but I'll give 1 gram T&W a try.

For tea, just make a convenient amount to divide by, and a measuring cup with proper increments, so you know your dose liquid wise. Like 10g kratom in 10 oz water, drink 1oz for 1gram dose. A mg scale is also recommended if you don't have one, on amazon for cheap, will save you lots of time and trouble with inconsistent dosing.

Superhyped here just means lot of hype, personally never tried, but more than a few seasoned veterans found a lot to like about it.

I can vouch for the White Kapuas, it's certainly on the energetic side and blends well with other greens to add some energy. The last batch of Green Kapuas I got about a month ago had a Mitra content of 1.7, so you might be over doing that one. Fused G Kapuas for me has been a go-to for energetic situations for quite some time, but I certainly understand your hesitation to try that one again since it caused you to vomit, but I'm betting you just need a little less of that one. I also really like the W Takengon as well. You may want to apply for a membership with Lucky's, his Green Maeng Da, White Thai, and Green Malay are energetic and usually stellar batches. MitraMan White Sibau is another great one on the energetic side. Rhino's whites have also been very helpful with energy for me. Also, Smiley Times' White Banjo is essentially rocket fuel, but I haven't purchased that one in a while, so I can't vouch for the current quality of that one. I have Lupus so I struggle with fatigue as well and sympathize with your dilemma . Hope you find some relief my friend. \m/

Yeah, you sound very sensitive to kratom, def take a smaller dose of the green kapuas. You're very fortunate to be able to take such small doses, esp. if you can dose multiple times per day. A realistic dose for me would be 3.5 - 7g once a day, though 2.5g can sometimes ring my bell.

Might wanna try Shaun's other botanicals. Hirsuta and javanica can be a nice alternative to kratom sometimes (I use both at the same time as javanica isn't very strong, but adds a nice layer of depth to the hirsuta), blue lotus to help with sleep and dreaming, akuamma, and magnolia bark.
