Shell interval

[mlenny]

I tried searching the forum for this question, but I couldn't find anything. How long do you recommend waiting between shells? Sorry if this has already been asked and answered.

Thanks,
Matthew

Oh you're good.

Usually we suggest giving it 15-20 minutes between shells. I go 24 hours between shells as I drink all of my kava at once

i like to start with 2 back to back, then go about 10-15 minute intervals til its gone

Right now I'm using 50/50 Kava Society Borogoru, and Fiji Vanua Kava Malo Tonga.

20 grams each

400ml of water

This makes about 10-12oz of kava so thick you could paint with it.

70 grams- 1 liter- warm water- shells every 10 min between first 2. That will be the more euphoric headdy effects then most kavas ease into that heavier feeling so every 30 min shells after that. Much love and bula

Right now, it's Stone from N@H. Anywhere from 15-30 grams consumed as 3 or 4 servings.

Thanks,

Kap’m,

I’m curious. Do you consume your 40 gm’s in between lunch and dinner or do you wait a certain time interval after dinner and before bed?
TIA

I eat at 6:00 pm, make kava at 7:30 pm, and drink it all in one shot at 10. This is about 30 minutes before I turn in.

 

[KavaBobo]

Cool! I was thinking about cutting back to one shell. I think I’ll follow your protocol. It Does help me sleep like a baby

I do about 20-30 minutes between shells depending on strength. If you front load too much there isn't much going on with the latter shells.

Whoa. I have to say this strategy seems quite wild to me. In essence, Kapm (a vaunted and hallowed Kava consumer) breaks quite a few rules of Kava for me. Many is the post in these forums recommending a good deal of time between imbibing and sleep, yet Kapm is downing 40 grams 30 minutes before bed! Wow.

Do you ever vary your kava consumption, Kapm? Seems that strategy would really go haywire with a more heady variety. Just never saw that coming. Assumed you were an evening shell sort....

What’s crazy is that it doesn’t really matter which kava I’m drinking, it either turns might lights off instantly, or just less instantly. Some I notice a distinct antidepressant effect with and some can carry over a little into the next day, but yep, that’s my routine.

I really like the idea of doing this, but in practice, I haven't had the self control. I'm going to try giving this routine a go.

Whoah one shot? How do you keep from peeing constantly at night?

Fiji Vanua Kava Malo Tonga.

I'd expect thick kava, from a name that thick !

Over the years, that issue has slowly faded. I guess we get tolerant to some of effects of kava, even if they're not the psychological ones.

It's a thick brew.

For a heady kava, no delay at all otherwise the effects will be diminished which is not really a economical way to drink kava.

 

[Edward]

I normally leave at least 45 mins between shells and drink 3 to 5 a night. I don't eat in the evening, just drink kava.

This is pretty much what I do - two shells right off the bat, followed by additional shells 15 minutes later.
