Smiley Wild Green Bota Review and more
Okay, I’ve ordered from Smiley before, but split the orders with my buddy, so technically this is my first order I’ve physically placed with my own account. I decided to order the Wild Green Bota, got a sample of Gold Bali, and I already had the Premium Maeng Da (from 6/30) and the Super Red MD JK
Wild Green Bota - I love this leaf. I had decided to order this as soon as the new batch came in on 7/10, as I’ve not to my knowledge had any truly Small batch Wild Grown Kratom yet. First thing I noticed, is the taste. It taste different, but good. Very energetic, and a phenomenal body burn. Great for the morning before coffee to really get rid of the aches and pains, and get rolling. This is my favorite of Smileys leaf I’ve had so far.
Premium Maeng Da - Fire, all around great mid spec leaf, I mixed with the WGB today and had one of the best burns I had in a while. Can’t go wrong, the perfect stand by to always have in your arsenal
Super Red MD Jong Kong - my least favorite of my leaf I’ve gotten from him this far, BUT, still decent. Plan on mixing with the Gold Bali this evening. Haven’t touched it for about a week, so I’m hoping by putting it away, maybe I’ll get some better results. Gonna try again mixed tonight, and if still nothing, I’ll revisit it in the future
Gold Bali - this was a sample, I tried it last night before bed, and was soooo pleased. Very sedating and phenomenal pain relief - nice euphoric relaxation, perfect for bed time and probably great for mixes.
I took 5g for all these doses. I take on average 3.5-5g for my burns. And burn once in the morning, and then again in the evening. I also take 3g first, and about 45 minutes later take the additional 2g, as I have a Chronic illness, as well as a back injury and that seems to stretch out the legs and give me longer relief. Smileys customer service was fantastic, and I ordered on a Wed and got it on Saturday, quick free shipping. I use a few vendors, but at the moment Smileys leaf seems the freshest. Everything has been a home run except the Super Red MDJK - But overall very satisfied

Is that someone’s pet peeve or something? Not really sure what you’re referring to. I use phenomenal quite a bit I suppose.instantKARMA wrote:*GASP*Morries said, ph....ph...ph...PHENOMENAL...TWICE!

No pet peeve, just makes HH(and I'm sure a lot of us) want to order some when people use words like phenomenal, amazing, extraordinary etc

Re: Smiley Wild Green Bota Review and more
This new batch of Wild Green Bota is DAMN GOOD. Excellent stimulation and mood boost.
The Wild Green Bota is outstanding for lifting those dark clouds that I wake up to most mornings due to MDD. Excellent strain. Easily a 8/10 with special focus on energy, mood-lift and euphoria. Love it! Definitely a stand out strain. There are quite a few stand out strains with Smiley Time Herbals right now. Great selection and excellent service!

Re: Smiley Wild Green Bota Review and more
The Gold Bali he gave me to sample was really good. I’m picking some up tomorrow. And for what it’s worth, I decided to crack out the Super Red MD Jong Kong, give it another shot. And low and behold - whammy. So weird how Kratom works like that. I’m assuming meals, mood, time of day all goes into effect. And Scotty K - did you say in an older post you’re in Wilmington NC? Small world. I’m in Wilmywood. Mayfair Town Center, right up the road from Wrightsville BeachScottyK wrote:Please help!

first, I thought it was just average with a "pre-jittery" feel to it. 15-20 minutes in, it's like, WTF?
This leaf has really settled down and has a very comfortable energy with nice pain relief and
wonderful focus......and that mood-lift/euphoria you mentioned is front 'n center.....love this stuff!
8/10 is right on the money! swablero's "commodity lust" and Mr. BallzZZ' "Kratom Buying Disorder"
is ramping up as I type!

Re: Smiley Wild Green Bota Review and more
Small world hombre. I’ve been in Wilmington for about 10yrs now. Will never leave this place. All the sun and saltwater I need. I’ve been sober from booze for 14 months. Was nervous that ILM would be too much temptation with all the boozing this town does, but I’m glad I didn’t leave.ScottyK wrote:Yup, I’m right on 17th and Saint Andrews across from Halyburton Park.MorriesWigs80 wrote:The Gold Bali he gave me to sample was really good.

Re: Smiley Wild Green Bota Review and more
Are you an old Mystic customer? They are out of Wilmington and have that Kratom/Kava bar downtown.
I ended up going with Smiley's Gold Banjo. I saw some positive reviews of it here a few days back. I tried all of his other great strains but had never tried a gold.

Let me know what you think of the Gold Banjo...I got both (On Smiley's recommendation)...LOVED the Gold Bali (just ordered more), but got very little out of the Banjo...admittedly, have only tried the G. Banjo ONE time...so just curious of your thoughts on it.ScottyK wrote:Are you an old Mystic customer? They are out of Wilmington and have that Kratom/Kava bar downtown.

No, I never tried Mystic, but knew they were local. Believe it or not I first tried Kratom when I was in Michigan for a few months for work. Let me know how the Gold Banjo is!ScottyK wrote:Are you an old Mystic customer? They are out of Wilmington and have that Kratom/Kava bar downtown.
