Getting same from various vendors.

[Mimi]

I know this is impossible to catch but how can you tell is a vendor is getting their source from a different place then other vendors. Trying to keep a rotation going but it’s hard when you have wholesalers in the in US selling to a lot of vendors.

They tend to promote each other. MBC, Creepy Tiki, Mitra Mike, and a couple others all use the same leaf. Cactus Jack may be in there too but not sure on that one.

Now it makes sense why none of those work for me. Ughhh.

Yep. Facebook "vendors" (just dudes on FB buying & re-selling crap leaf from wholesalers!) A good question from Mimi, how can you tell source? Only buy from vendors who "are known" to Import real Indo kratom!! Check out the MeWe small batch vendors, they are legit.

Others who have a FB Group (Herbal RVA, Okie Naturals) have long relationships with Indo sources... Lucky Herbals, Fused Flora, Smiley Time, and Treasure House also. All those vendors have a social media or Blog, give dates on their next "drop", the quality, strains, etc. These vendors are popular, and good kratom sells fast, so keep watching their Emails for latest news!

haha "Creepy Tiki" had to laugh at that one! Avoid!!

Thank you very much!!! I feel like such an idiot for spending so much money from all these vendors only to found out they all are using the same supplier. Live and learn I guess. I’m headed to MeWe to do some researching.

Try fused flora or bennis botanicals. You wont be disappointed. They do 100gram bags.

Thank you for all the recommendations. I sure need them.

don't feel bad! even those of us who 'know' have a hard time sometimes. two years in and I'm still learning... and will always be learning. once you're immersed in the community for a while you'll start getting a feel for the vendors who import from suppliers unique to them (hopefully? lol... seee?). at least somewhat confident anyhow. and, you can always ask a vendor how they source their leaf. hopefully they will be honest. lucky herbals is a nice happy medium. a little bit bigger than some, but really good, small vendor leaf. denette and TFH are also top favs. but you'll have to watch the forum for their open events as they are membership only. they're both talking about possibly doing open events here soon. keep an eye out for that.

I always wonder this too even w the small batch vendors. Hopefully most of them communicate to prevent this from happening.

Its always good seeing vendors buy from each other. You know your getting different leaf. Like rhino, dennete, heaven leaf, 7hom, they are all trading leaf to test from lurking on mewe chat. But good to know its different

On mewe we do our best to ensure we’re not selling the same leaf, but if it is the same farmer it will be a different batch.
