Vanishing Vendor Syndrome

[WhiteAngelica]

Hi. I was hoping anyone could add to my list of 'Vanished Vendors' because I want to stop feeling stupid that a vendor has vanished off the earth.

Can you help?

From my understanding, such vendors and their items are...not here. This includes Spirit Science, 7Ohm, Galactic, Koality...(I think)...please do share any other vendors that are MIA, off the grid, etc.

Thanks for your help identifying further instances of Vanishing Vendor Syndrome.

Enhansiosa

Enhanciosa left the kratom biz and moved on into other business ventures. Koality left for personal reasons. Other than those two, not sure about some of the others mentioned.

But another to add to the list is SoFlo who went MIA suddenly.

One called: Speciosa Life in 2019 - he was like Galactic and Koality... just imported maybe 1 or 2 loads from Indonesia, that's all - Went to trouble of putting up a website - Then for whatever reasons, quit. Jody was a good guy he's on Reddit more recently. Had some Landak Harvester leaf.

You can look over Past Years - of the Vendor List here. Some interesting names which I'd forgotten about too! - https://saidit.net/s/KratomVendors/

I had Koality on my bucket list - was waiting for a restock that did not happen.
Galactic- ah please come back.. Almost a "best kept secret" Everything distinctively different - I got 13, 17 counting huge welcome samples. 2 are pretty good. Everything else crowns my entire heap.
But didn't stop at that. Exceeding expectations makes a huge impression. A hard thing to do consistently if it's 'even possible.

fyi A Web search for Galactic B... can take you to King Tut - fyi it's a Golden Monk site.

>> Ah Got it JOHNSONS Botanicals
FDA supply shenanigans & a hurricane shook things up left him w/o any red varieties + plagued by harassment around the time I ordered.
Was gone when I came back around.
Fantastic greens & that White Mamba

I should have posted this to you directly
JOHNSONS Botanicals - commented on in reply to balls
Restore Botanicals - Benni carried some of theirs in past years
Currently a search turned up CBD sellers with very similar names but not exact. I think they were off and on a lot in their day.

one of my old favorites - Sacred Son.
and of course, Sosa Speciosa.

what happened to 7ohm? I thought he did a big site relaunch or something in the last year or so. seems like he still had a ton of 2017 leaf.

Enhanciosa is back! Joel did shut Enhanciosa down for a time to focus on his personal life and recent marriage, but Enhanciosa is alive and well at www.enhanciosa.co.

Joel is still advising the business so the focus is still on customer service and quality first as his brother Andrew (me...) runs the front end of the business.

Thanks for any that are willing to give us another look! We have a great discount posted right now.

I wasn't around forums and online back then, but I was fortunate enough to obtain some vintage 2019 SoFlo recently, and just burned about 6gm of the Red MD, and man...incredibly good.

Wish he or his supplier or that kind of leaf was still around. I'm new to online and smallbatch (been burning headshop and gas station wares for years off and on), but this was something mighty special. Packed a real wallop!

The industry is like that I guess. Except for certain dedicated vendors. Just from reading Chris' posts -- can you imagine the time and money and stress of going all in as a vendor these days? Established smallbatch vendors seem to have the ticket, but it takes a monumental effort to do it RIGHT.

Yes I applaud them for doing it right and overcoming the many difficulties. Grateful to have such wonderful options/choices. Admittedly Ive only been at it for a few years, but i have really broadened my horizons this last year or so. Really dig the journey.

Monumental effort for sure. Its nearly impossible. Its been going on for years and normally small batch vendors are the first to disappear. As they grow in size and customer base. They quickly overload their supplier who then buys powder from the wholesalers in indoensia to fulfill the orders. Another thing is most dont test and then when they start testing their original supplier, they find out bad news. Switching suppliers and end up with clean regular powder. Many end up switching to domestic suppliers for ease and reliability on shipments and testing.

I got a bunch of his Red Bali 2 and then he disappeared. I think I've only gotten into my second quarter of it and I did just gift someone a quarter. Don't think I'll be running out anytime soon though. I loved that he posted good color pix of the actual batches.

[IndelibleDotInk]

As someone mentioned, Sacred Son is no longer. They had White Walter, a great blend, and neat ideas like teablets and gummies.

[Renob]

The “Leaping Leaf”. I used to receive some questionable (crazy ) emails from the operator.

I hope 7ohm is doing ok, wherever he might be.

Wr need to remember for posterity that there was no exit scam, he just vanished.

He has his toes dipped into something that they want to fuck with him about. No clue what, but i believe him on the gangstalking and strange break-ins, etc. Lets just say ive seen that happen to someone IRL. Their goal is to make everyone (including you) think you're crazy.

My friend just disappeared like smoke. Haven't heard from her in four years. Her mother had HER toes dipped as well, but...the less i say the better here, lets leave it at Steve doesn't sound crazy to me, he sounds like a victim of some fucked tactics.

I've seen some wild shit, that's for sure.

Jodie (that was Speciosa Life's name, right?) didn't just vanish though, i remember firecrotch asking me if i wanted to go in on a $60 kilo of Estate Green Jong Kong and like a fool i said no, but he later traded me a quarter for something or other. They were getting rid of all of their stock cheap because they had some issue. They didn't vanish so much as "went out of business" i think.

I have to pack my house today, im just procrastinating.
