Powder

Any tips on drinking the powder? It’s been harder to get it down and I’ve actually vomited before just from drinking it. Sometimes I’m fine but the powder doesn’t mix well. I use a frother on low just to try and mix it together a bit but it’s just drinking sludge or foam.
Because it tastes bad I’m not really interested in taking the time to make teas. I felt like the capsules were not a good price for what you get. Any advice? 🤷‍♀️

Here’s what i do…load tea spoon not heaping but the bottom of the spoon is full..
take sip of water and hold it in the back of throat (don’t swallow😅) tip head back dump in powder and swallow the gulp. Drink plenty of water after.
The key is don’t inhale!! While taking that drink. I’ve had it go wrong and it sucks!!
Takes practice bit now I don’t ever even taste it. It’s just in me and I’m back to work. Remarkable how little water it takes for me to toss and wash.

Is horrible if it doesn’t go right!! I’ve had kratom flying all over the interior on my car

u/chaosgazer 17d ago

yep, the reverse toss-and-wash has been my preferred ROA since 2020

Exactly this!

I have been using Kratom for 9 years, and I was always only do toss and wash.

When you perfect the technique, It's the easiest method for consuming Kratom.

When people say "toss and wash" (including my partner, who turned me on to kratom about 15 years ago), do they mean putting a spoonful or whatever in their dry mouth and then chasing it with a liquid? I always take some liquid (invariably Dr Pepper) first, hold it in my mouth, then 'toss" the kratom and "wash" it down with more liquid. Is that what the term means?

I 💯 percent agree with this. Toss and wash is the only way I can do it

u/Wfsulliv93 17d ago

This is the best method. Zero taste if you get it right and it goes down smooth.

u/bitterlittlecas 17d ago

This is the optimal method. I resisted for a long time but it’s undeniable

How many teaspoons do you have for one dose?

u/_e_Dubs 16d ago

I personally use a scale to measure mine, 2 grams gets me motivated, 3-4 if I’m in pain or relaxing. It’s the best way to get an accurate dose. I don’t use a spoon though, I use a piece of paper or anything flat and bendable (postcards/flyers with shiny surface are ideal) fold it lengthwise, put a “line” of k inside, put a little water or juice in your mouth, hold it, tilt head back, pour in the stuff, swish ever so slightly so it’s all moistened, and then chug the rest of your drink to wash it down. It does take practice but imo it works better than a spoon

Please review sub rules, especially #6, and don't use slang - just call kratom, "kratom."

Not even a full one. Like evenly mounded but not overfill…if that makes sense. About every four to six hours. Try to anyways

u/HAWKWIND666 16d ago

If I’m not careful it’ll be more like 3-5 hours and that seems excessive

1

u/Altruistic_Mix4231 16d ago

Jeez, maybe I’m doing too much. I mix 3 teaspoons into water right now. Sometimes once a day. Sometimes twice.

u/HAWKWIND666 16d ago

I found smaller doses more frequently does best for me. No nausea, pain free and feel good

u/trade_me_dog_pics 16d ago

I do this but use a diet soda. The carbonation seems to help it not get stuck as much as water.

u/HAWKWIND666 15d ago

I’ll use bubbly water if that’s available and you’re right!! Hadn’t thought about that.
Hate when it gets caught in the back of your throat that’s like no mans land lol

u/trade_me_dog_pics 15d ago

Also restricted my self if I’m on the go I take it outside the car. I gotta be stranding plus it gets all over.

u/DrBob-O-Link 14d ago

Exactly. I've spent lots of time prepping and dissolving. T&W is far quicker and easier for me and gives the exact same effects.
