    Cramps from kava?

    Hi all, just an update 3 years later! When I finally went to the neurologist - about 6 months after the symptoms arose, my symptoms had stopped. Hence the tests they did, did not show anything. I am cautiously positive that it had something to do with my kava habit, but I cannot say for sure...

    New distributor for the Aluball in the UK and Europe!

    Including import taxes to DK, I'd end up paying around $65 for one bottle and one ball only. :( As a student, I cannot afford this these days... I guess I'll wait or try to do a DIY aluball somehow. Sadly ends up at pretty much the same price.

    New distributor for the Aluball in the UK and Europe!

    Hi, Is there any European base aluball vendor now? $23 shipping from aluball.com is too high for me.

    Cramps from kava?

    Hey guys, Sorry for taking so long. I am still experiencing these cramps quite consistently. Less than before, but still. As said, my muscles cramp during the first 1-5 times of me flexing the muscle, afterwards - when its "warmed up", I have no issues at all. I have been supplementing with...

    Cramps from kava?

    Thanks for the input. Yes, I'll keep an eye on it and consider a consultation at my GP. For now, I stopped drinking Kava.

    Cramps from kava?

    Hi all, Since about a week now, I've been experiencing cramping muscles. The sort of cramping you get when you need more electrolytes. As in, standing up super slowly, not being able to open the jaw directly after closing it firmly/tensing the jaw muscles, freezing muscles when starting you run...

    Straining Bag/Alternative Aluball Question...

    As a mate drinker myself, I have wondered whether this is possible. You're saying, you just shake up medium grind Kava in a mason jar and drink through the bombilla? I mean, the openings are much larger than a strainer bag (1-2mm)- no problems here? Hows the extraction efficiency, given that...

    Multi day hangover from noble Kava?

    So I've had this same kava again yesterday. Hadn't eaten for a good 6 hours, made the Kava and had some thai curry afterwards. I first blended some frozen maka (frozen after third wash, worth probably around 6-8 tbsp), felt slight numbness in my mouth and slight relaxation. Was expected...

    How many of you folks do the blender method?

    @Krunkie McKrunkface How come you'd normally let it sit for 10 mins? What's the rationale behind that?

    Multi day hangover from noble Kava?

    Thank you for reassuring me that the acetonic tests looks alright. I have actually ordered some new KWK Borongoru to test your hypothesis. It's been a couple months since I've had Borongoru the last time, but I'm sure I would have remembered if I felt like shit afterwards. On a side note, this...

    Multi day hangover from noble Kava?

    Yes, its very odd. I'm a healthy early 20s guy, so no idea whats going on there. I do rather often experience very strong hangovers from alcohol though, and I'm talking a couple of beers, nothing crazy. That's actually the main reason I've been looking for alternatives. We didn't drink anything...

    Multi day hangover from noble Kava?

    Thanks for the reply. So having 48h hangovers from noble kava is "normal" for some people/cultivars?

    Multi day hangover from noble Kava?

    Hey, two days ago I prepared about 30g of kava with the blender method. My friend had the first shell, I added new water to the Maka and did a shell for myself. For the 3rd go I used double the amount of water and split the brew into two shells - one for me and one for my friend. We were both...

    Shakas Kava Test Results

    Hey so I tried this with 99.9% isopropyl alcohol. I mixed about 1g of kava with 10 mL IPA. I had two controls (two KWK kavas) and one sample that I wanted to test on nobility. All of the tests resulted in a light yellow color. I did not see the orange coloration isopropyl alcohol is supposed to...
