I hear all this hype about soul and how fast they sell out. Is it really that great ?

No one's talking so that should answer your question right there lol. I will say I've been buying from Soul for several years and a good amount of the ones I've had from him have been up there with my all time favorites. He had this one batch of WGK from 2019 that was not quite like any other kratom I've ever had and just gave me the most comfortable numb and amazing moodlift from kratom I've ever had. I've bought a good amount of his stuff over the years and I barely have anything left from him so that says a lot. I usually just grab greens, but the few reds I have from him are excellent as well. I have other stuff from several other vendors that I like just about as much but a lot of Soul's stuff just has a certain unique feel and usually very well balanced stuff. There's people who try his kratom and don't think it's anything really special but the people it jives with absolutely love it

Souls kratom is amazing ...about a year or two ago i got some kratom from him called green dream that sh!t was so fire almost put me on my a$$ lol. I was able to get some from his most recent drop couple days ago and just got it in the mail the order is kinda wrong I'm waiting on a email back i was suppose to get a kilo and ended up with 2 250g bags and a bunch of 14g samplers which didn't even come close to a kilo I'm 200g short i had to weigh each baggy which was kind of annoying because I've never ordered a 4 way split and ended up with a bunch of 14g baggies. I'm hoping Soul comes through and makes it right. this is my 3rd order from Soul . I normally order from LSMS. As for now I'm going to wait on a email back from him and see what he can do :cry:

That's definitely a bummer Raven. Did he send you tracking? I haven't even got that yet, I got a kilo as well. Sounds like you might've got burned a little bit but you're still doing better than me haha. Is the leaf you got good at least?

It's been awhile but... ALL the many flavors I got from Soultanic, were, pretty damn good!! :P seriously, the Dark Pinoh, his "Kappuas" stuff and "Old Ass Green Tree" etc. some favorites.. He's always had good Indo connections & has worked to build those relations, always Direct Import fresh!

It's hit or miss ime. How much are you willing to be jerked around?

The last / recent attempt was ridiculous. I, like many others gave up a day, turned into two days of our life to be in the right place at the right time. It would almost seem- selective the way some reported their order going through without a hitch while many or most were unable to order while charmed ones were comfortably picking up all the prime cuts. No hoops not jumped through this time, No, clearing my browser of everything did more harm than good.

Of course I was given the "were open" email the next day or two so they could sell off the leftovers. Knock yourself out on that. I lost interest. It's consistent with what can be observed over time- something I was directly accused of after my first buy a few years ago which reallly burned me- not a shred of truth about it. Call it what it was: customer abuse and it really appears that was misdirection of facts going on with a different substance.

You're in line at Studio 54. Is it reallly that great? ha, no Starck club in Dallas was better imo during it's time. But in both cases somebody had to like you personally- or for the way you looked to them or for the wares you were peddling before you could get pulled out of the line to be ushered in. That's how this is being played. As another stated - "that's fucked up". Somebody is. Good luck to those that were sent substitutes. I don't think it's all done on purpose but what does that matter?

My order is en route now, hopefully everything is good with that. For me I saw the email about 30 minutes after they opened and their was still a lot of good stuff left. Tbh I'm not sure it's worth the stress though, my fomo gets the best of me too often, I've bought from him before but I don't think its much better than the other top small batch vendors. I like to have variety and he has some top notch stuff, but it's much easier ordering from Denette, heavenleaf etc theyre professional, responsive and consistently puting out great stuff. At the end of the day it's just kratom and it's never as serious as we make it haha. Just like my name, I'm always chasing something better and greater but it never ends.

Well rumors are just that. Those are never without holes at least- it's more like... "this could happen more easily on this path- still" which surprised me. I know there are difficulties. I'm sure I'd screw things up too but he's been at this for a while. The question was is the hype worth it. I thought it might be this recent drop which is why I put in the time and attention. The let down added, added to past experience- I just had to go. It's one take of several. that's all

I think so. He’s a great sourcer with lots of connections, and since he’s not a full time vendor he has the luxury being able to wait for and only sell the best of the best. On average, I have a better chance of getting more gems from a Soul order.

I love when that happens, when you nail the right dose of the right leaf you get like a perfect flow state where you have fluid thoughts and movement without thinking....kratom is a good norotopic imo and it has a ton of potential for so many things. I hope this miracle herb is fully researched and reaches it's full potential too. Lol you know you're feeling good when you have to talk about how much you love kratom :D

Ill give a little update on my order. well i got two different packages the day it came in and one package had 500g of my 1kilo order the 250g Premium red Vein and 125g white By and a bag of 125g of white Tanj (which i didn't order :roll: )
then the other package was a shit load of 14g baggies of samples that i definitely didn't order and the order number on the bag wasn't even mine. i messaged [name removed by request] one of souls employees and he gave me some run around about soul going off the grid told me to keep the order and that one of his other employees was fire for messing up the order because they missed up 5 other orders . So i weighed the order out with the sample baggies of the order that wasn't mine and even if i keep this order im still missing 200g of kratom. i messaged him today about the rest of my 500g order didn't get which im still missing Dark Green Pinoh and white seduka . cause i will send these sample baggies back i want the kilo i paid for ..im a little pissed off about this right now sorry for the rant

I agree, kratom is kratom and only gets so good. Getcha handful of quality vendors and ur good. If its too hard to be among the chosen few with a particular seller, theres equally fine perhaps better product to be had.

I buy alot of kratom, and I dont stress about “getting in” with this vendor or that. Dont get me wrong, vendors have every right to be selective, my feeling is someone of comparable quality is going to want me as a customer. Nothing against soul, im sure they good, very limited experience w their stuff.

You need to get on his email list and he sends an email when he has a drop. I'm on the list but don't know how I got on it and never ordered so not sure how to get on his list, whether you need to be vouched for or not. Sorry not more helpful.

It's hit or miss ime. How much are you willing to be jerked around?

The last / recent attempt was ridiculous. I, like many others gave up a day, turned into two days of our life to be in the right place at the right time. It would almost seem- selective the way some reported their order going through without a hitch while many or most were unable to order while charmed ones were comfortably picking up all the prime cuts. No hoops not jumped through this time, No, clearing my browser of everything did more harm than good.

Of course I was given the "were open" email the next day or two so they could sell off the leftovers. Knock yourself out on that. I lost interest. It's consistent with what can be observed over time- something I was directly accused of after my first buy a few years ago which reallly burned me- not a shred of truth about it. Call it what it was: customer abuse and it really appears that was misdirection of facts going on with a different substance.

You're in line at Studio 54. Is it reallly that great? ha, no Starck club in Dallas was better imo during it's time. But in both cases somebody had to like you personally- or for the way you looked to them or for the wares you were peddling before you could get pulled out of the line to be ushered in. That's how this is being played. As another stated - "that's fucked up". Somebody is. Good luck to those that were sent substitutes. I don't think it's all done on purpose but what does that matter?
soul has been my favorite leaf for at least a couple of years now. it's always worked the best for me. the frustration of ordering... not so much. this last drop was complete insanity. much worse than the normal insanity lol. they said they'd be dropping at 4... we kept watching for it and watching for it... wasted hours. I started giving up and getting things done that I should have been getting done. so MISSED the opening of the drop. got in maybe 15 minutes late. and missed out on the premium strains 😕 THEN there weren't enough choices left to complete my third half split a n d it wouldn't let me double up on any one strain. so I had to do two separate orders. this equals two separate shipping charges. I emailed them about packing them together and didn't get a reply until a few days later that said don't pay the second shipping... or do. and they were getting ready to cancel orders that weren't paid. I've NEVER not paid the first day. they didn't cancel the order, and I paid one shipping fee. it wasn't my fault at all. had a small mistake in my order, but not a big enough deal to make a deal about it. b u t... I'm not getting much of anything from any of it 😮 something is so off. I've never had this happen with their stuff! I usually love almost everything. I told my friends I think DTE has ruined me for all others' leaf! I'm actually afraid that's true. or glad? keeps things simple lol. I did do a TFH order today. fingers crossed 🤞

it's always been hard to justify the leaf being worth the frustration of ordering. even when I knew it would be very very good. after this last time, I doubt I'll try it again. so glad we found Drew and Down to Earth 💗
