Sipping vs Chugging

The only kava I've ever felt like sipping was the fresh frozen black beauty blend from Paradise Kava from back in the day. And by back in the day, I mean, like a year and a half ago. lol. That stuff tasted wonderful. But I'm with ya Ed, I've always chugged, not only because every kava website said that's how to do it, but because I make kava pretty thick --> can't sip that without gagging.

Sipping seems to work better for me.  I feel like I can keep drinking longer and pace it out - I like to keep a constant flow and effect in my body without the ups and downs (in a sense)  If I chug, sometimes my stomach does not agree as much and then the feeling is not as enjoyable (thats just me)

I can see what you're saying. When I chug, the effects from the shell are pretty much immediate, and then they fade away as time goes on. I would suppose that sipping would offer more control on where the experience goes? I'll have to actually sit down with a few shells and try just sipping the whole thing.

sipping is kinda like a constant IV drip, where chugging is taking your pills when the nurse says and waiting to see if it helps :)  hmmm..maybe moderate contant sipping with a few gulps every so often?
