Yeah like kavadude and akava said, those kavas shouldn't be giving you residual effects. You could try even high kavain strains like PK's "Hawaiian Grown AWA" which I found to be super-heady. Fu'u is a definitely another good choice but I think it's sold out.
Nambawan from BKH is also very heady in my experience but in a very different and much more subtle way than ones like Solomons (also very heady). Also, of course, it's my favorite so gotta always recommend it.

kavaboy.com's regular kava has the least residual effects of any kava I've ever tried. So much so, that I basically feel unaffected by it, by the end of the same night. If you wanna keep it nice but light like that...kava candy and the Kalm with Kava beverage would be in the same realm. They offer a nice, peaceful uplifting contentment, without bogging you down hard.

Also, of course, the new vendor here "Gourmet Hawaiian Kava" would be a good bet as all the Hawiian kava I've had (other than ISA) has been very heady. I'm sure he'd be glad to help you pick the right strain for you.
Also, shoot Andre an e-mail over at "Noble Kava" and he would be able to help you pick the right one as well seeing as his selection/knowledge is great.

If that makes you happy after a mug full, wait till you have some kava that isn't 3/4 sawdust! The current batch of Van3 is notoriously weak so it will give you a much more mild effect, but for a better value you should go with a good kava and just use less to address that IMO.

@infraredz I know this has been asked a lot here already, but what do you mean by "Heady" from an experience standpoint?
It seems like you understand your own body really well and I would appreciate your description of a "Heady" effect. I'm still not understanding what that term means.
Thanks
Heady describes a kava that produces more effects on your mind than on your body. Be it, euphoria, spaciness or just a gentle uplifting to your outlook and sense of well-being. On the other hand, Heavy kavas, can be felt more in your body & muscles and give you an all-around more slow & sedating experience. Balanced kavas do both. But I find most kava to fall closer to one side or the other. The more 'heady'/lighter kava's I've tried, almost always lack in the body/sedating side of the spectrum....and the heavier/body ones are typically somewhat lacking in that light, clean, whimsical contentment you get from the other.

@HeadHodge shakas got it right on.
Heady is how I describe kava that has a lot of cognitive, psychological and emotional effects (mental relaxation, sedation, motivation, empathy, mood uplift, etc) whereas heavy is how I describe kava that has the "heavy" feelings that relax your muscles, usually relieve some pain, and make your body feel very heavy as you sink into the couch. Even heavy kavas have lots of psychological effects, but a heady kava will have much less of this and generally be less sedating overall than heavy kava. Heavy kava still caries the same euphoric uplift in energy and mood, but then quickly fades to a kava that makes you feel like you are sinking into the couch along with the (usually) heavy sedation.
Like shakas said, no kava (IME) has every been just one or the other; they are a blend of the two but I use those words to describe the most dominant effect I feel the kava gives.

Makes sense Infraredz. I never got to try the previous batch of Van3 so I guess I was fooled by marketing. It did seem a bit weak, now I know why. Do you have a couple of fav.'s your willing to share. I'm always looking to try something new. I tried all of PK's and some of BKH's. I wish I could get some of Nakamal@Home but for some reason they won't ship to Canada.
