    Minimizing liquid volume but maximizing extraction?

    I have a really sensitive stomach as far as nausea goes, I live with some amount of nausea (usually mild but still...) for what seems like most of my waking hours in life. One of the things that, unsurprisingly, sets it off is a large amount of liquid at once. You can imagine with something that...

    Powdered Kava Review Premium Grade Waka

    I ordered 3 pounds of Premium Waka from BFK because I was looking for a good deal on some decent kava, and was suggested BFK. I'm gonna preface my reviews from now on by stating that I personally never have noticed a huge difference in kava effects between different origins, cuts (as in...

    Kava Beverage Review Kava Concentrate

    I bought the KWK Guava concentrate with my latest purchase of medium grind root because I've always wanted to try it but never felt like buying it just on its own, so adding a bottle to the order of house blend root worked out well for me. The flavor is nice, though you can definitely still...

    Is anyone aware of any laws banning kava in the Caribbean?

    I'm in the very early stages of planning a trip to the Caribbean in the fall, right now the top candidate is Trinidad & Tobago, I was looking at Grenada but flights are either rare and have super long layovers (think up to multiple days) or very expensive if you want a more direct flight so...

    For those of you who've developed a tolerance, how long of a break did you take to reset/lower it?

    I think I'm getting a bit of a tolerance to kava because 2 or 3 aluballs filled with strong kava is doing very little for me lately, a month ago or so, a single ball in a shaker could knock me on my ass. I haven't used it since Monday but wondering how long I should wait.. 2 days, a week, 3 weeks?

    Powdered Kava Review Loa Lawena

    I'm on mobile so this will be short and to the point. It's at least as potent as KWK's products I've tried, but a significant bit cheaper. To be honest, I don't notice a huge difference between kavas usually. They all affect me about 90% the same. This kava is maybe a little more heady than the...

    How long does it take Cactus to ship?

    Ordered on Saturday or Sunday and still haven't gotten an email, all the other vendors I've bought from ship it out in less than one business day.

    Anyone else have trouble resisting taking a nap after kava?

    No matter the cultivar (though I haven't tried THAT many) I always seem to pass out for 10-20 minutes an hour or so after kava, even if it's a fairly small amount. I don't mind it, it's nice to have a little nap, it feels good. It might also be because I don't have any obligations like work or...

    Cool little easter egg of the Marjorie McNeely conservatory in MN

    I know, it's not in full sun, it's not the absolute healthiest plant on Earth, but it's cool they have 2 of these kava plants growing in one of their tropical rooms. They're of course not growing it for use, just for display. This is my favorite place to be in the world, not because of the...

    Kava Physiology How long do y'all wait between finishing your kava and eating?

    To try to prevent too much kava from being absorbed by the food of course. Personally I try to wait 20-30 minutes but since I haven't eaten for several hours before, often times I'll eat 10-15 after my last bit of kava.

    Kava Physiology Beano works for me for kava farts

    Not much else to say. That's what it's meant to do. It digests cellulose and other polysaccharides that humans normally otherwise can barely digest. Undigested food getting through your GI tract almost always causes the obvious symptoms, very loose and sometimes explosive stool and flatulence...

    Powdered Kava Review Melomelo Vanuatu Kava

    Gonna try to keep this even shorter than my last review. I prepared my quart jar like last time, there was maybe 3 or 4oz of Samoa Ava left yesterday but it's pretty insignificant in a quart jar. The taste is leaning towards pretty strong and offensive, but nothing worse than many other kavas...

    Kava Blend Review Damu Kava Fiji Damu Fiji Kava Special Variety Kava – Samoa Ava

    Gonna try to keep this shorter than my last review so I don't get distracted and enjoy the krunk more. The time stamps are very rough, better to use it as a step-by-step timeline review rather than specific to the minute. First thing to note is oddly enough this didn't make my mouth numb so I...

    Powdered Kava Review Loa Waka Fijian Kava

    Been a while since I've had kava. I took a break for financial reasons and recently realized I had more saved than I thought so I made a big ol purchase of kava to help reduce my desire to drink or use other intoxicants. Bought a 1lb bag of this and writing the review as I go. Kneaded 4-6...

    Melomelo vs Samoa Ava?

    Making a big (for me) kava purchase. I was going to buy some computer stuff then realized it'd be mostly a waste of money so I decided I'd order some kava. I'm going to go with KWK since I know and trust their products for the most part. But I'm curious what the differences are mostly in taste...

    Any experiences with "overdose"

    Let me start by saying I know it's pretty much unheard of to overdose in the traditional sense, but what I'm talking about here is getting like wayyyyyyyy more krunk than you thought you would and getting some bad effects whether it be paranoia, anxiety, extreme nausea, etc. Has anyone ever had...

    Kava Candy Review Kava Kava Candies

    So far this is the most reliable sleep aid I've ever used. 3-5 orange candies over 20 minutes or so and within an hour I'm out. It doesn't seem to be much of an effects extender for powdered root like some people claim, at least in my experience. Save it to use it on its own as a sleep aid...

    What percent of strains you've tried simply don't work for you?

    After going through most of my nambawan I've come to the conclusion pretty much the only time it seemed to do much of anything was when I mixed a small amount of KWK Vula Waka with it. The Vula Waka on its own would never have been enough to get the huge effects (recently actually got so kava'd...

    How long does it take to get an email?

    I ordered this morning and the autofill was really tweaking out hardcore on my phone, so I'm worried the order got screwed up and I'm out $20. The charge is pending on my card, and I never got an email. I've NEVER ordered from anywhere that doesn't at least send an order acknowledgement email...

    What's better bang for your buck: candy or Gaia pills?

    I'm interested in finding things to extend my powdered root to make less root go a little longer possibly. I know the candy vendor (can never remember the name) is an active member on here so maybe we'll be a bit biased towards that, but strictly speaking from a value standpoint, which would you...
