Mixing kavas

[kl.Project460]

Im not sure if their is a thread on here yet, but I wanted to get peoples input on what kavas they have mixed and how it turned out!
One of my favorite things to do is mix kavas together. Im currently mixing KBR tongan pride and fiji waka, and also paradise kavas dry awa with fiji waka (which is realllllllly good).
In the past ive made a couple more mixtures, like stone/wow and OLD solomon/wow.
What mixtures have you guys tried?

I really like fiji waka and tongan pride. Really makes me wanna get up and do housework though lol.



I mixed magic and kona kava last night and it was pretty mild but relaxing. haven't really been impressed with either one, to be honest.



Haven't had much luck mixing solomon with anything. It only seems to amplify the other kava, with no traces of solomon effects. but this is not "old" solomon.



I have some hiwa on the way from HKC and im kind of excited to see if it mixes well with majic or waka.

mixed hkc hiwa and magic today. taste is a bit funky but i like the effects. not overpowering but just nice and relaxing. more so than by themselves. i can feel it in head and body, and i can't wait to go have another bowl.



this combo gets an a+ in effects. and a b- in taste.

A mainstay of my Kava drinking regimen is 2 parts Stone to 1 part Tongan pride. Flavor and head effects of Stone is improved, and I get that instant Kavain kick, and am more sociable than with just Stone, also not so tired.  Haven't tried the Tongan, Fiji Waka combo yet, but think I will soon since you both like it.  Also for some really nice cerebral effects I have used equal parts Tongan, Solomon, Hiwa, Moi.  Haven't tried mixing the Van3 with anything yet.  Just came in yesterday and it.....was really.....awesome......  Best Kava in my book for that "feeling of well being."

Kava Royale with 'shots' of Instant Paradise in between shells was good.

I'm not a big fan of Solomon Island by itself. One day I mixed what I had left with my left over mahakea. Wow is all I can say.

i agree i hadn't had much luck with solomon but when i mix it with something it seems to amplify the something i mixed it with

I've been drinking the last of my Paradise Kava frozen stash mixed with some Hiwa from HKC, man that's good. The Hiwa tastes alright by itself, but the frozen blend realy brought out chocolatey notes, almost to where it became cinnamon-y. Very, very good. Effects were wonderful, exaggerated bodily sedation, mindset was happily at peace. Great combination all around.

would mixing HKC mo'i and vanuatu 3 be a good idea?

 

[starsofclay]

yeah, go for it. could really tip the scale into awesome land.



Today i mixed hiwa, solomon, black sands, malekulah magic, and van3.



took it to work and drank it in small doses with long intervals inbetween. was quite nice, but now im home and tired

I would love to mix some mo'i with van3, that sounds like a euphoric combination. I wonder if the mildly stimulated buzz mo'i gives me would be subdued by the sedating calmness van3 gave me when I first tried it. Let us know how that combo went r3mote if ya did it



Anyway, I'm currently staring at a nice bowl of HKC Hiwa and KBR Fiji waka. What a happy mixture, although a bit nauseating. My muscles feel nice, I don't get that warm fuzzy muscles feeling with either of these kavas alone but together they produce a nice bodily "calm rush" with an added mental lift. Really great, the taste of the two don't work too well, not bad though.



I know I'll sleep the kava sleep tonight

 

[kl.r3mote]

i see you got nauseous kavalover. are nauseous/dizzy effects typical when you mix kavas? that's all i'm worried about.





will try the mo'i and kava by rex vanuatu3 this evening will try to post back within a week ;]



i have an idea, we could keep a thread on here devoted to kava mixes that we try, and attach a rating to each mix. kava cocktails.

 

[kavalover]

The thing to take note of when mixing kavas is the particular kavalactone profile of the kavas you're mixing. DHM can be very nauseating by itself, and the Fiji waka is said to be higher in DHM, so I probably should have used a smaller amount when mixing. I think that was the root of my nausea, as I've never experienced any nausea when mixing kavain rich kavas. If you're worried about the added kick though, it's never a bad idea to use a few tbsp less when mixing. I'm telling you, some mixtures can be a totally different animal.



I like that idea, btw. I enjoy mixing kavas

Hiwa and Wow! yields amazing results

EDIT - That really is a nice combination, nice and numbing with a euphoric touch. Very sedative, real heavy on the muscles. Everything just feels very pleasant and sleepy. Only downside was the "hangover" in the morning. I had no trouble getting up but was slightly nauseous upon waking.
