Underrated

[DarthWobbles]

How come no one ever mentions EE botanicals? Every time I’ve ordered from them the quality has been superb

[Gasman]

im interested, been almost a year since I last stocked up, coming into the best time of the year for quality. Personally I like strains and do my own blends. (Even if the strains are already blended).
Are there connessuer grade as good as they sound? Like a DG premium? I would do a 4 way kilo 2 green a red and there white. What did you like from there?
Any one else have a favorite or recommendation from EE.

EE? Lol this thread feels hella shilly so far. But whatev. The "EE" name did remind me of some Eden's Ethnos MD caps I got at a head shop a few years ago and they were fekkin awesome lol. Anyways kratom on folks!

[DarthWobbles]

I definitely recommend any of their whites, and the super MD was good. But their blends is where it’s at. The tsunami and joker in particular. I’ve tried the white bengal as far as connoisseur stuff and it wasn’t near as good as DG, coulda been the time of year though

EE? Lol this thread feels hella shilly so far.

Why's that? Vendors get mentioned here all the time. In fact, I've been assuming that's what we're all here for.

Would you be calling it shilly if the vendor being discussed were one of the usual faves like RVA or Mystic or KOG? There are about ten vendors that get a lot of attention here and the rest seldom get mentioned, which is a shame. I was happy to see someone mention a vendor I'd never heard of for once.

Speaking of which, that's my bad. EE is on Ballzy's vendor list, which means it's not a pop-up vendor and they're not known for problems. If anyone has reviews or commentary, I'd love to hear more.

Like that. Exactly. Never heard of them either, though I just now looked and they have a couple of pre-ban Reddit mentions (not all good). My bad, I really should stay on top of this stuff.

My sense is that EE Botanicals is just a good, well established, vendor who gets overlooked - for whatever reason? They WERE definitely on the old Reddit list a year ago, before I began the Kratom_Vendors sub.

By coincidence I was looking at EE this week (aka Ethical Ethnobotanicals ) before this thread was posted.. They have a Logo. I think I saw someone wearing their Logo T-shirt at the Washington DC rally June 5th. They're in California. They have a nice website which is all about promoting quality. "Where Quality Matters" nothing wrong with that!

One theory I have about vendors, is that experience counts. Most vendors ARE trying to source the best quality they can find. More time in the business = More contacts, more knowledge, which should mean better sources = higher quality. This guy has strains listed, that I've never seen anywhere else .. he fits the definition of "P" = Premium. I'll update the Listing.

My apologies, two new accounts and the first thing they each post is about a vendor I’ve never heard of. That was usually a clear sign of shilling on reddit. Carry on and kratom on folks, don’t listen to me I’m just super cranky when pain is higher than usual.

[BlendsAreMyFriends]

Thanks for the update Ballz. I may have to try them out when I get ready to order.

No problem, it's all good. Believe it or not, behind the scenes we actually keep a much closer eye on that kind of thing than you might guess. I don't want to get into the details, but we've busted 'em before and we'll keep right on kicking that behavior off this site.

Your concern was a valid one; should you ever notice that kind of thing again, please do contact a mod via PM or email. I mean it, too: your eyes and ears help us keep this a good place to be, and we do keep an eye out, -especially- when someone gives us a heads up. But we don't want to discourage discussion of legitimate vendors, which is why open accusations of shilling are specifically forbidden in the site rules (Rule #1).

Carry on and kratom on folks, don’t listen to me I’m just super cranky when pain is higher than usual.

It's all good, and thanks again for keeping an eye out for us. Hope your pain lets up soon.

Sorry if I was misinterpreted as shilling. I was genuinely wondering why a vendor which I’ve had good kratom from never gets any recognition. My apologies

You're all good darth, sorry for my cranky post last night. Welcome! I've taken the leaf since 2016 for chronic back and leg pain due to lumbar disc issues. For 6 years before I found kratom I was dependent on prescribed oxy. Tell me more about EE and any other vendors you like!

[whiffypants]

Darth, man, you have -nothing- to apologize for. Really. This is exactly why we don't use the "shill" word: it makes people feel bad for saying anything about vendors they like. So no worries. You keep right on talking about the vendors who have done right by you: that's exactly what we come here for!

TL;DR: It's ALL good!

Code: Select all

... A vendor which I’ve had good kratom from never gets any recognition. 

Did you ever give them a Review, or say anything about them?

I mean the easy answer IS - nobody ever says anything about EE Botanicals. Never. I can't remember EVER hearing anything about them. Not here.. Not on MeWe.. and not on Facebook - they're like a ghost.

Maybe they don't want more customers -- fine. I see other vendors posting, advertising, being pro-active about their business .. Not really the super Big Vendor types but even SoCal used to post on Reddit to answer questions. Herbal Salvations, OTOH, apparently has an idea they don't need to advertise or promote. They've got enough business already.. that's OK .. I don't need HS either

Some vendors, have an "attitude" they don't want or need to interact with customers. Some think it's beneath them, they are superior to other vendors anyway, they think they've got better kratom -- So make it a big secret and that's better for business ?? I don't know.

Also many are paranoid - they'll get questions about Medical Claims .. so better to NOT interact with all the n00bs out there who will ask "What strain of yours is best for my Back Pain" - They're selling kratom NFHC - Not For Human Consumption .. Many vendors feel this way. FDA is monitoring this Forum !! Don't talk to customers online!!

No need for you to apologize, you did nothing wrong.

[DarthWobbles]

Thanks for being so welcoming and positive guys, I can’t say that about many other forums or sites. I’m new to this forum (and technology in general really) and 22 years old lol. But I’m not new to kratom. I’ve been taking it for a few years as well. At one point I was on a quest to find “the best” kratom and ordered from probably dozens of vendors. EE is right up there with Kog or mystic in my book. When I have more time I’ll give a review. Again, thanks everyone!
