    Moi vs Nene, Nene for sleep?

    Nene in the past has been the best kava to put me to sleep. I didn't notice as much sedation, just half an hour later I was ready to sleep. Mo'i had a more heady effect for me, good daytime kava. It made me feel like chatting with people more, and noticing more uplifting things around me. A good...

    Kava and cold sores

    Occasionally I have the displeasure of a cold sore. When I first started drinking kava a few years ago, it would dry out my lips and almost feel like I was about to get a cold sore. I didn't for a long time, though, and then some more stressful life events happened and I got them a few times...

    It has been a good kava Friday for me. PSL Traditional Mix and Palarasul.

    I'm flaky and forgetful today - accidental toss n wash

    That's what I was thinking, as long as the car is still cold, it won't get wet from the snow. If it's cleaned out really well, the heat can probably evaporate out the rest of the moisture. I did have a car flood once, but luckily no water got in the engine or transaxle, but the inside was...

    I'm flaky and forgetful today - accidental toss n wash

    There was some nausea, but I've felt more nausea from properly strained kava that I've had in the past. No indigestion/gas/diarrhea. This was Kavafied's Bati. Still one of my favorites.

    I'm flaky and forgetful today - accidental toss n wash

    Yes, mine was much more potent than expected, as well. That may be a good way to get a consistently stronger drink that is less likely to have ill effects. I'll have to check that out. It's too bad we can't record our hallucinations. Imagine the new breed of Youtubers that would create...

    I'm flaky and forgetful today - accidental toss n wash

    That was my initial concern, but there wasn't much nausea and I didn't get the "backdoor trots". I'm wondering if it was a combination of it already being blended and strained once, then blended a second time, and that I had a large slice of ginger (not garlic, which I mistakenly said when I was...

    I've seen pictures of that. What an unpleasant thing.

    I'm flaky and forgetful today - accidental toss n wash

    I remember when that song got a lot of rotation on the radio, haven't heard it in ages. I didn't feel like ripping anyone's head off though. :cool: I was more of ::hugsmiley::.

    I'm flaky and forgetful today - accidental toss n wash

    I strained the first shell of my blended kava and then went to blend a second shell, and without even thinking, just poured it from the blender into the cup. I use hot water, so I had put some ice cubes in it and was just waiting for it to get cold. Once it did, I started chugging it down and...

    Kava song

    I thought of a kava song, sung to the tune of Billy Idol's "Daytime Drama". Beautiful day... for my daytime kava... That's as far as I've gotten so far.

    Best strain to lift mood?

    My favorites have been Kava Bati from Kavafied and Samoa Ava from Kalm with Kava.

    Ball washing to bag washing

    It worked great, the bag seemed to rinse the soap out more easily. I'm still mildly curious now about cleaning my old aluballs that I got when I first started drinking Kava, and didn't wash them well. They've got a white residue that is clogging up the screens and I have tried all kinds of stuff...

    Lightest, least-sedating strains?

    Kavafied's Kava Tonga is the lightest I've had, and it has good effects, and good flavor.

    @Zaphod thanks for the vinegar tip. I'll give it a shot.

    Ball washing to bag washing

    I've started soaking it overnight, and when I put the bowl and bag on the scale to weigh the kava I was about to put in, I noticed the bowl/bag combo was 2 grams lighter. I'll do the boiling also, that's a good idea. The unperfumed WUL is good too, thank you.

    Ball washing to bag washing

    I used aluballs for a long time and after having several highly-stained balls where the mesh was completely clogged up, I found a way to wash my balls so they would last longer. I'm doing traditional prep now and I will usually wash the bag at the end of an evening. At times I have washed the...
