Ehhh I'm not really sure what I'm looking for here. Advice? Maybe just sharing the learning curve? (always have a learning curve when I switch a batch, but what I learn is rarely applicable to the next time!)
I've gone through 8oz in the last week of KWK Loa Waka micro after switching from lat root KK. I don't feel like I'm through RT yet...having effects but that kinda 'watching yourself have effects', not the being-one-with-the-kava (not talking krunk, just finding the groove). It is a very fine line between feeling anything and intense nausea, as well. I had the Loa Waka micro a few years ago and it was a good match for me, I didn't need much either, only about a tbsp...this batch isn't talking to me...yet. I'm taking up to 4tbsp at a time, on an empty stomach, and aside from some impressive nausea I've not had much in the way of benefits.
couple o questions...what's your opinion on breaking through RT (assuming you believe in RT at all--I sure do, having gone through this a few times with same strains, same prep)? is it quantity consumed or does timeframe play a role as well? Last time with this kava I took 8oz over 4 weeks and I was through (naturally, batch discrepancies could play a role here, too). Should I pull back on the amount while I wait for my body to catch up? Just wanna maximize the good stuff I've got before returning to my makatastic brew...
(a side note: my dermo has really cleared up since I started the KWK. could be in part the supplements I'm taking, but good to observe nonetheless...)
