Longtime purkratom customer looking for something new
Since I began using kratom couple years ago I've been ordering exclusively from purkratom. Before then all I tried was the gas station/headshop stuff. Ready for something new, and also hopefully cheaper. Although their products do an adequate job I cant help but think i'm missing out not trying anyone else, and the prices are insane(average price $15 for an ounce). I'm also starting to feel like the quality isn't quite what it was but not sure if it might just be my tolerance. Has anyone else using them noticed a change in quality? If anyone could recommend some good alternatives, particularly with good reds? I use kratom as an opiate substitute and have a high tolerance from years of opiate use, so I generally stick to reds.

Re: Longtime purkratom customer looking for something new
I have tried quite a few vendors and, of all of them, Purekratom is - imo- bunk. I was 'sold' by the whole "pure" marketing ploy. When the bag arrived I saw something I had never seen before: an actual "additive" listed in the Ingredients. Some kind of 'texturizing' or preservative material. So much for "pure." I did some more research and discovered - at the time anyway - that the company is run by an electronics manufacturing outfit. Not a good profile for someone looking for quality and responsibly sourced leaf. And it was ridiculously priced.
I'm very sorry that you ended up with them for so long. We don't always know where the information is so we have to do some experimenting. You came to the right place.

Re: Longtime purkratom customer looking for something new
After doing some reading around here on vendor reviews i'm making a small order from botanical bunny for some super red and md red kapuas and gonna look into some of others you guys mentioned. From what I've read i'm hoping it will far exceed my expiences so far. Wish i could order some of this tfh I've read about on here but looks like I'm late to the party for that. I actually found purkratom 2 years ago through google reading those top 10 kratom site type reviews, and it seemed more legit at least than others i'd come upon an I also fell into trap of thinking because it seemed professionally run and price is high so quality must be top notch..not so of course. I probably would've delved deeper into kratom world sooner but I didn't stick with the kratom long term back then but bounced between it and opiates. Now I'm looking to get off suboxone and make full transition to kratom and the purkratom stuff just isn't cutting it, nevermind the price. Thank you all for recommendations.

Google for kratom, is the worst way to find good kratom!Lnr9400 wrote: I actually found purkratom 2 years ago through google reading those top 10 kratom site type reviews, and it seemed more legit at least than others i'd come upon an I also fell into trap of thinking because it seemed professionally run and price is high so quality must be top notch...
Sadly it appears the AKA *American Kratom Association* now IS a group of the WORST scammer vendors :: Purkratom, Kraken, Hippo, etc. these are profiteers and some of these guys are kratom millionaires - Dude who invented VivaZen, imagine the $ bucks he's raked in over 5+ years ? having his cheap ass "Legal High" product sold to dumb dopers in gas stations all over America!
It's all about clipping the flock - Extract the MOST money, from the most ignorant people, in the least amount of time lol

Re: Longtime purkratom customer looking for something new
I agree with you Ballz. But still believe Hippo is an ethical company providing quality product, granted for a much higher price from what I now realize is the actual “norm”. Kraken and Pur are complete poop. I know Hippo has a staff of people they pay well to process their products, and that is not free.BallzDeep9 wrote:Google for kratom, is the worst way to find good kratom!Lnr9400 wrote: I actually found purkratom 2 years ago through google reading those top 10 kratom site type reviews, and it seemed more legit at least than others i'd come upon an I also fell into trap of thinking because it seemed professionally run and price is high so quality must be top notch...Professional is right, they are Pro scammers it takes work to manipulate Google through SEO marketing, its become big business on the Internet.. (Those Top 10 sites are paid shills!) - How to scam people out of their money: Kratom IS the #1 "scam product" on the Internet & has been for years now, What other product has a 1000 % percent markup, even 2000 % which is Purkratom's profit - they probably know or care, very little about kratom. The whole scheme is a fancy website and ship out some green powder in a bag...

Re: Longtime purkratom customer looking for something new
Unfortunately, if you ask me, the fact that hippo pays their staff well and has "good" product does not excuse them from the reality of charging quadruple for the same products/quality at best as many of our top vendors on this forum!! They pay their friends and family well.... But it is at ours/their customers expense which definitely isn't right IMHO. This truth and reality needs to be brought further to the forefront so that the average Kratom consumer knows what they are dealing with and the right type of companies to frequent i.e. TFH, Fused Flora, MitraMan, Rhino, Spintripfall, Denette, SOSA, Spirit Science, Galactic, Garuda/Hudson Valley, and plenty of others we know and love. Just my take....ChefNateHippo wrote: I agree with you Ballz.

Check out Leaves of Eden, HeavenLeaf, Soultanic Stew, and Spirit Science Botanicals. All four of these vendors are on MeWe. If you're not into Mewe vendors, I'd look at Smiley Time Herbals and Liza's Botanicals.

Oh man prepare you mind to be blown. Purkeatom is basically gas station kratom. Pick up some rhino remedies or TFH. Also check out botanical bunny their stuff is always good especially white jongkong and Yellow 12.
