Amazing First Burn of a Brand New Strain

[IjustFeltLikeRunnin’]

You know, the kind that makes you want to immediately go back and buy a kilo. But you don’t…because you have some self-restraint.

So you come back to it the next day to make sure you weren’t dreaming the first time. Eagerly anticipating…but instead, this time, it just gives you a headache.




Why! must this plant be so fickle?!

I get that sometimes too. First burn is amazing, but then you try it again and get a headache. Only solution is waiting a few days between burns of that particular strain. I wish we could really nail down the science on kratom.

I find when kratom does give me a headache, a quick 24 hour t-break is in order. Usually eating solves the headache.

A quick 24 hour t-break?! Was that 'quick' and '24 hours' put together? I do one better... a break from my last dose at 7pm or so until I wake up. That is all I need. That morning burn always hits right.

First burn fantastic! Buy more quick! 2 or 3 quarters!

Never again like that.

WHY???????

Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have put "quick". Whenever I do t-breaks, they tend to be 24 hours. Then the next burn is soooo good.

Am I the only one...?

This literally just happened...

burn was just not coming up right and had the grand debate of 'do I dose again? or go to bed early? We all know the benefits of that sweet, sweet morning burn.

I chose the first but more often than not, I simply go to bed with a smile on my face, knowing sunrise offers a new day.

I've discovered from Fused's Shaun's comments about regaining the sparkle of kratom that if doses don't work anymore, the next day all 3 of my doses are 0.5 - 1g. Then the next day after that I go back to my usual dose size & everything is wonderful again. That's not exactly Shaun's method, but I wouldn't have tried that if I hadn't seen his enhancement post.

IDK…I’m also chalking it up to “mood” and “hormones” right now.

I’m on my 4 day work stretch, so my dosing is low for the next couple of days. I’ll revisit it on Thursday or Friday and see what happens. If not, I’ll give it a week when my hormones even out again.

I’m sure the Universe will align for me again some day….

Whenever I do T-breaks, they tend to be 24 hours. Then the next burn is soooo good.

Yes absolutely. Even a 24 hour break is enough to freshen up receptors. Amount of suffering or withdrawal, during that 1 day, depends on Grams per Day dosage (GPD) - those on a reasonable daily amount, can do this... But, high gpd, may need a few days of taper?

Title is misleading... There are no real Brand New "strains". Kratom is like snowflakes... every batch is different, But they're all just snowflakes. 200+ vendors each selling 25 diff "strains" or blends, we've got ... 5000 "different strains" out there.

But nobody could identify a single one, blind folded.

I've collected a large number of strains from a lot of vendors, & most of those strains either only hit on the first try, or didn't hit at all. I have over 30 strains just from TFH. Very few of his reds ever did anything for me, but neither did reds from other vendors, so I figured I wasn't designed for reds.

Then last April I decided to wash all the green, gold, & white strains out if my bloodstream & try all my dud reds. I'd say maybe 50% of my red strains came alive but not all. I never dose more than 2g for greens & 3g for reds. But after my broken tooth experience, everything's changed.

As I wrote earlier, I needed some big time pain relief, so I started taking 4-5g doses. The results were spectacular. Now that my tooth is fixed I'm going through all my reds again to see how they work at 5g. All those TFH reds I thought were duds are anything but. Wow - this is great fun. When I notice the good times diminishing, I switch to 1g doses for one day, then the next all the magic returns. I'm trying to take a 1-day break every week so I can minimize any development of wd. I feel kinda dumb for not thinking of simply upping my dose for all that time, but I'm also glad I hung onto all those "dud" bags of kratom.

TFH reds are absolutely amazing ! They make up close to 75% of my collection. Nothing can compare to the pain relief that they provide for me. Though I still take some greens and a couple of yellows, 2 out of 3 of my doses are TFH reds. Have fun !
