KoKo Kratom

I forgot to say that they test for quality and impurities. 

Hi @ripley78 !!

Great to see you my friend , thx for sharing the positive review . I haven’t had the honor of trying this company yet .... def putting them on my list of vendors to try . 

How have you been ? 

@somethingsacred Hey Brandon, good to see you too! Doing well here. I got my 2nd vaccine yesterday and so far a sore arm, headache and some strange kidney pain but nothing a tylonol and a couple glasses of water won't help. They did tell me to drink at least 16 ounces of water before my shot and it slipped my mind. But it's been 17 hours so fingers crossed. ( no fever or tossing my cookies) 

And yeah, I would totally try this small vendor. I would have to say as far as potency goes it is may be the best on my shelf atm. 

Enjoy the day!

Nice one ☝️ @ripley78 !!!!

Congrats on your vaccine getting taken care of . I’m happy it’s available to those who want it . 

Well you def have me interested in trying KoKo’s products .... 

I don’t know if inert mentioned to you before , but I used to raise goats for a little bit , they are such cool characters.... but the day they broke out of their pen, and ate my cannabis plants ... took me a while to forgive them... I mean , couldn’t blame them for eating my medicinal crop 🤦‍♂️

Take care and kratom on! 

Welcome back to the forum, @Ripley78!  Interesting review and a new name to get curious about!  Awesome.

Hey there Brandon,

I spoke too soon as far as not feeling too bad after the 2nd shot. I ended up with a cramp in my back that lasted for several hours but no fever or cookie tossing. I hear that's common but I still say it's better then a ventilator. Feeling back to normal today. 

As for the goats..lol..That would do it. I have stopped trying to plant anything at all because between someone leaving the gate unlatched, and the 60 or so goats getting in the garden, and my herd of chickens that dig up Everything, and the fact that every person in my family has a dog, it's a losing battle. I'll make a hanging garden one of these days. 🙂 

Summers almost here! 

@laurie

Thank You! Good to be back.  So let me know if you get a chance to try them. So far I've bought 3 different reds and will soon try the red thai and elephant. All were very good but the red borneo was Really good. They will restock in June so I'll be sampling then too 🙂 

I'll review the thai and elephant soon as well. 

Enjoy the day!

@ripley78

 I forgot to check them out.  How are those reds?  Hope you have fully recovered from the vaccination.  Those reds should be useful for symptom relief. 

Wow @ripley78!  Thanks for the tip.  How are you liking the rest?  I’m stoked to see a vendor supplier who cares about the kratom community and is NOT contributing to the destruction of legal leaf by selling adulterated products and using the name kratom.

I am interested in your additional thoughts on their reds before I give it a try.  I don’t need more kratom, but I want to support like-minded vendors.  

@laurie

Hi Laurie!

Okay so, next I tried the red Thai. It is also Really good. My tolerance has been shot for some time. I wish I would have known not to use 2 different strains in one day when I first discovered Kratom. Now I stick with the same strain as I started with for the late afternoon. So, each day, whichever strain I had in the AM, that's the one I'll have again in the late afternoon. But..even with my tolerance being what it is, the Red Thai is Great. I am So pleased. Nice subtle little body buzz. Mild euphoria. Uplifting. Definetly high quality kratom. Every strain I've tried so far has blown past my crappy tolerance and worked really well. I'm looking forward to trying the Red elephant or Indo next. The red indo is a fermented strain. I'll get back and let you know what I try next. 

And I do know what you mean about adulterated. Happened to me twice. I bought a split kg from a vendor I had used in the past ( whose name I won't mention bc not looking to cause anyone harm bc maybe it's just me) but it was 2 red strains and both caused me to have heart palpitations. I was so disappointed. I thought maybe it was just me and waited some time and tried it again with the same result. An entire kg sitting in a cabinet wasted. Not sure if I want to bother sending it back, bc I have little time for that, and it'll probably go in the garbage but I think it had to be adulterated to cause that awfulness. I have no idea what vendors put in their kratom thinking to enhance it or stretch it but it was a really bad experience. If anyone knows what some vendors may be mixing into the kratom, I'd be interested to learn. I had once bought another brand and saw at once there was white powder mixed in. I called the vender and told them and they made it right at once by sending out a 'clean' batch. It was a potentiator and they were honest enough to tell me which I appreciated but I don't want Anything mixed in my kratom. Pure Leaf and nothing else. ( this wasn't the heart palpitation one, but a different vendor) 

Anyways,

Enjoy the day!

@ripley78!  WOW Thanks so much!  Potentiator added without consent or by request….holy cheese balls!  That’s CREEPY!  Never a dull story to be told with thee kratom journey!  

Thanks again for the vendor recommendation !  Thanks for tolerating the newish forum!

Goat Chops are delicious. 

I like Greens myself. Prices are just too good to be true. Would like to see a recommendation on the Greens.

@kratering

That may be true. I've never eaten one. We joke about an apocalypse and say who we'd eat first but doubt it'll come to that. Fainting or myotonic goats are on the endangered species list and are protected. For decades ranchers used them to run with their sheep and if a predator came the goat would faint and the sheep got away. This of course eventually decimated their numbers. That being said, they are pricey. We are working to bring them back. They are small, easy on fences and eat less then meat goats. You can see us at Falling For You Farms on Facebook in Modesto. 🙂 

@laurie

Hi there! Ok so I tried all the reds. ( Thinking they have 6) All are different. And all are way above average. But if I were to say which worked best for me? It would be a toss up between the red Indo and the red Borneo. Red horn never seems up to par for me personally but this one was also good. I'd say the red Bali was possibly the least potent ( altho very good) but might work great for someone else as kratom tends to do. They are supposed to restock this month. ( they told me they do so every six weeks) and so although I'm well stocked, I will be tempted to try the next round. 😉 

In other news. My other favorite vendor has had to change how you pay. Without mentioning who, it looks like it might be one of those 'offshore' type of payments which I hear are not secure. So glad I found KoKo. Anyone know anything about offshore credit card payments? 

Thanks and have a beautiful spring day! 

Hi @ripley78!

Good info on the reds.  I don’t think anyone knows how many reds there really are.  So six is as good a guess as any.  They are supposed to be named according to the heritage/origin of the original seed of the tree.  But a lot of the difference in reds is actually supposedly a result of how the leaves were dried and processed and have very little or nothing to do with genetics.  KEEP IN MIND, I’m still learning this stuff and then I learn other stuff and find out I was wrong.  So I am by no means saying I know this as fact!  It’s just kinda where I’m at with current information from Indonesian and Floridian growers.

@ripley78

I posted on the red issue first and posted before I got timed out.  

Last week, there was a vendor wide credit card processing issue where EVERYONE selling kratom using credit cards was halted abruptly with previous sales held hostage and no activity allowed starting NOW (last Thursday, I believe).  

Many vendors have to use overseas processing for considerably higher fees and sketchy security in order to be able to offer their customers the option to use credit cards versus many vendors now unable to accept credit card payment.  

Each vendor was affected and each are using various alternative methods of payment.  So just pay very close attention to the details to avoid problems.

Also, it’s always good to check here in DEALS AND DISCOUNTS or in posts for discount codes on quality leaf also.  Although k don’t recall seeing that vendor on the list, I’m not as active here and they might be listed.  

The kratom journey is never dull!  

So glad you are getting results from the various reds you’re trying.  Now what will you be thinking of doing when they restock? Still reds?

Interesting discussion here…

@laurie

Thank you!
