Why does it seem so hard to make a good extract?

[NobleSapien]

I have tried a few extracts over time but the vast majority were underwhelming. I hear that MO has great tincture and extract and on the site it says it is 60x. I have yet to try it because it seems very expensive at 1g being $30 plus in cost. I have had other 50x extracts for $2 a gram so I am a bit hesitant to try MO when I could get 15g of other extracts for the same cost. If both Mo and others are using 50-60g of leaf to create 1 gram of extract why would the extracts be so different in potency? There seems like there would only be a dozen ways to make extract and I am shocked by the lack of consistency in creating something potent. What would make MO so much better than say Gaia 50x or Socal 100x?

Extracts, just like powder, vary widely in quality and effects. I have tried many, and never really saw the attraction. MO's "PURE KRATOM ALKALOIDS" were a whole other experience to ME. First time I could truly, without a doubt, FEEL it work. Yes, it's EXPENSIVE...I for sure would not order it all the time. But if you want a treat, and see what REAL extract is like, give it a try. Takes very little to be active, and surprisingly felt pretty full spectrum by itself. Never had that before, other extracts NEEDED to be blended with plain leaf or it was "missing" something. I did like the ALKS better used WITH plain leaf, but it was able to stand on it's own if you wanted. I am no shill, just this stuff WORKED for ME...You may have a completely different experience. I'm sort of glad it costs so much, as I could see myself getting carried away with this stuff.
