Fire island. The krunk booster.

[krunkedout]

So today I received my shipment of a half pound of stone and a 55g tin of fire island. As well as another half pound of stone for an Xmas present for my buddy. But anyways, tonight I made a batch with 6 tablespoons and two teaspoons lecithin with 3 cups water. I then added 2 teaspoons fire island. I spent awhile finishing the bowl but it was fantastic. After that I ate a brownie and some toast and decided to have another shell of fire island with just a teaspoon. Wow, jut wow. Such a great krunk. And then I make a second squeez of the old java with half cup water. If you havnt tried adding instant to your grog I suggest you do! Sorry for any spelling errors, I'm pretty krunk right now lol.

Yay!!! Great information,this is what I am always looking for. My shell arrived last night,I am so happy with it. Well worth the money. It can stand up by itself while one fills it. The bottom has been leveled so it presents no spill hazard. Also the carving is intense,I saw a little Kava-god face in the bottom,or perhaps a menehune!!(spelling on that uncertain) It just feels right to drink Kava from it. Only me ,The Pea, will use it and I will take good care of it. Going to ask my son for instant kava when he comes to see me on xmas. Please post what kind you and anyone who wants to help me with this thinks is the best. Again the shell is wonderful. PS: I also has a second bowl after eating two hard cooked eggs and I still felt it.

I'm so glad that you're happy with your shell! I hope that it will serve you well and as for instants, I would definitely give bula kava house's instant green a try, it's stronger than fire island and cheaper than shaman. And also, an edit on the post, I realized this morning that the "teaspoon" I used wasn't a teaspoon at all, turns out it was a half teaspoon lol. But it was still fantastic, especially for giving your sesh an extra little kick! Today I will be taking my instant with me to work that way I won't loath everyone I see n_n

Thank you !! You are such a useful human!! If my Etsy plan works I may not have to leave my planet at all!!! Drinking from my little,perfect sized shell right now. LOL know exactly how the random humans can morph into 'bad things that walk and talk' Good luck at work

i have to agree with adding some instant to a bowl. it really intensifys the effect. I use BKH instant green for this purpose.

thank you my friend! I've been having good krunks every night now haha. At the rate one going with this instant it's going to begone fast, and I've only had it since Friday! I've already used about half or more of the 55gs. Hopefully my family will pull through for me and get me the 100gs of instant green that I requested. Yet somehow I don't think they will. Oh well anybody else find that self control flies out the window with instant? It's just so easily obtainable..

Drugs Are Really Expensive.  I calculated the cost for a tin of Shaman to be about $3 per shell, and that helps me keep a high degree of self control with the instants.

Over the years, I've gone to making kava in larger batches (it used to be always a quart or so, but it can be anywhere from a pint to a gallon), and I've been processing it more minimally.  I use a fine grind (where available), put it in a Fijian strainer bag, and squeeze for about five minutes.  Sometimes, I'll run the resultant grog through a paint strainer or another Fijian strainer to filter out some of the larger particles, but recently I've stopped caring.  Thick gritty-grog no longer nauseates me, and as far as the indigestible cellulose goes, the farts are more of a problem for the people around me than for me myself.

When I had both instant and extract it made me lazy, ha! It's so much easier just to through the instant in some water and shake'n'bake. I half agree with you, it certainly made it easily obtainable. Instant gratification, oh my!

I'm so high, Felix Baumgartner is jealous.

Today is the first day of Kwanzaa, which celebrates Umoja (Unity): To strive for and to maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.

I celebrate Kwanzaa because, as my fellow Englishman Richard Dawkins points out, we are all Africans.  I thought the perfect metaphor for this unity is a Papua New Guinea cultivar grown in Hawaiian soil mixed with spray-dried kava from Vanuatu.  My skin is gonna feel this.

It's officially a snow day for Prince Consorts, too, and I always celebrate the first snow day of the year by giving honor to the Krunk Gods for not having to drive in this shit.

And to answer an earlier point about overdoing it because it's easy... well, I do have that problem with Paradise extracts, from time to time.  I've gone through entire 10g lip-balm jars in a day if I was feeling the need for it.

Can't do this anymore.



You know, how you hear old people talk about how they used to party when they were younger but now they just get nauseous and wake up with a terribad hangover after 4 beers? That's kinda how I've been with kava as of recently. Can't push it, or else I risk nausea and general malaise, and next day fatigue like it ain't even funny.



Don't get me wrong, kava is still a godsend, I just can't get "high" or "crunked" like I used to. I gotta take it slow now, for some reason. Maybe I push too far, I dunno.

 

[sentiententity]

Hmm, sorry to hear that kavalover.



Would gradually reducing intake and then taking a break for a couple months maybe help? That's how it was with me regarding a, um, different substance. It took me back to the point of when first using it.

 

[krunkedout]

Yeah I'm sorry to hear that too man! Well maybe someday things will get back to the way they were and you can krunk yourself out once there is a new batch of black bag or something I havnt been in too great of a kava mood the past two days though because the taste has for some reason been bothering me. I think it's from a big sesh that I had a little while ago. But this happens sometimes, and so far it has always gone back to normal
