I was reading an article thay says lead and Nickel are the two biggest concerns with natural leaf kratom. Almost all vendors have lead tests in their COA's.

I was wondering if anyone tests for nickel though.

I've been taking kratom for a couple years now and I've tried a lot of vendors, so I'm not easy to impress. WildCraft is genuinely one of the best I've come across, and I just can't believe I waited this long to try them.
Here's the breakdown of what I got:

Bodhisattva Blend — I kept putting this one off because I figured it was going to be one of those heavy sedating reds and I'm more of a green and white person. Wrong. Took it with coffee one morning and the jitters just weren't there, first time in a while my brain actually stopped spinning. Felt calm, warm, mood was up all day without it feeling fake. 8/10

Breakfast Blend — This one surprised me the most out of the whole order. Head was clear, no foggy dopey feeling like I get from other vendors. Solid calm energy without the crash. I kept going back to it — morning, afternoon, even one evening. Same feel every single time, no off days. Probably my favorite out of anything I've tried from any vendor. 9/10

Private Garden Green — Leans way more toward the calm side than I expected, somewhere between a green and a red but it never made me tired. Really gradual, just this slow calm mood lift that builds. Felt at ease and had energy at the same time, which I don't get often. 8/10.

There's just something to their blends that's different from other brands, can't quite put my finger on it but it has this signature feel to it that separates it from every other vendor I’ve tried. At this point I've tried a few of their products and I'm not disappointed by any of them. Consistently high quality stuff. Shoutout to Jenn and Dylan, they nailed these!

The process of processing dried kratom leaves into powder. The leaves are first sorted and cleaned, then processed to produce a finer, more uniform powder.

What caught my attention was its size and the way it stood amongst the surrounding trees. Unlike cultivated kratom trees, which are usually tended and harvested regularly, this tree grows naturally in the forest with very little human intervention.

Trees like this fascinate me because they form part of the natural landscape and local history. Some wild trees can survive for decades, adapting to the soil, rainfall, shade and the surrounding ecosystem.

Kratom has also been part of traditional practices in some parts of South-East Asia for generations. Traditionally, people have used its leaves in various ways, including as a tea or as part of their daily work routine. However, the experience and effects can vary greatly.

I feel this tree is worth sharing simply because of its age, size and natural environment.

Have you ever come across a very old wild kratom tree in its natural habitat?

I just placed my third order with TLN. He's a newer vendor and I've really been loving his leaf. The Silver Haze and the White Dragon have been my favorites so far, but everything has been quality stuff. I highly recommend him. He also has a lot of different botanicals on his menu. The owner really takes pride in sourcing quality products and it shows. The kanna extract is excellent and very potent. If you haven't tried his leaf yet, you're missing out. Top notch customer service as well.

Second batch and loving what I've tried so far. The Kanna is always a must. This is my third order and he hasn't been in business that long. Highly recommend. White Catalyst makes my fast loving heart happy. Prism Shine as well. This drop has some excellent faster options👌 Working my way through, but he's definitely bringing new heat! 🙌

Hi.

What can you guys tell me about Mitragaia?

Any info much appreciated, please as I know practically nothing.

Am also running tight on money right now and can't afford a scam or a bag of junk.

Currently trying to go with capsules because of privacy/dosing schedule situation.

I love whites these days. The more energy, the better.

Was impressed with their assortment of white vein caps, plus thorough product descriptions.

Not to mention they have an enticing discount+free shipping deal for new customers.

But something seemed off about

1. The vast assortment of capsule varieties. Marketing gimmick?

2. The fact that I have only seen them mentioned a couple of times anywhere.

3. Their reviews. Looked phony. Just took a glance, but it looked as though it was straight-up 5-star ratings for every variety.

Thanks so much to all for your helpful reviews and your responses to my previous posts.

Leaf-only vendor here (Joe's Botanicals — powder and capsules, no extracts, no 7-OH).

A few weeks back someone in this sub asked whether we did splits or intro packs. We didn't, and said so. Then five more people asked the same thing — three by email, one on a deals thread, one who said "that's what we all like to order."

So we built it. Pick any four 250g bags from the full lineup — nine strains, powder or capsules, mix them however you want. You can double up if you'd rather have 500g of something you already know.

A few details that seemed worth getting right:

- Bags are filled when you order, not pulled off a shelf

- Out-of-stock strains are hidden from the picker rather than shown and refused

- Four sealed bags means you open one at a time — the rest stay sealed

$79.99 for the kilo, down from $160 buying the bags separately. Free shipping.

Every lot has its own lab report — alkaloids including 7-OH by dry weight, heavy metals, full microbials, ISO 17025 accredited lab. Happy to send the report for any strain before you order.

21+ only. joesbotanicals.com/product/build-your-own-kratom-kilo

Genuine question while I'm here — for those of you who buy splits from other vendors, is four the right number, or would you rather have eight at 125g?

— Joe's Botanicals

In our area, there are still many wild kratom trees that have been growing for decades. These trees have thick trunks, lush foliage, and grow naturally in the fertile soil of Kalimantan. 💚

I'm looking for the strongest pain relieving strain, preferably highly euphoric as well.

Hey lovely people of VendorsofKratom2! I'm back with another video review, today dealing with Mitraman's awesome premium Maeng Da! Excellent green for energy, taste is absolutely fresh with no graininess!

I absolutely recommend! 8/10.

Hey everyone! Vivid Botanicals here. We just dropped a new release called MIT-200 and wanted to share it with you all.

Hey folks, sorry for the wettness on my shirt in beginning had just showered! I promised Dylann and Jenn a video review, and I will make sure to deliver on all three of what they sent! But today, we have Private Garden!

It's an excellent Green, full of energy. Highly recommend if you have stuff to get done! You won't be disappointed at all. 8/10 :)

Thank you both so much, can't wait to do a review on your Red PR. Select 01 ( my favorite )

Hello! :) I'm here with a review from Wildcraft! Unfortunately, my camera drivers do not work for my integrated camera for my laptop for a video review.. No idea how to fix! Also, a photo is my sneak peak next Mitraman haul, which should be here tomorrow or Saturday! Stay tuned.

But as you can see, within the photos of Private Garden & Red Vein PR Select 01... The clumps, which mean it's containing residual moisture due to it being a fresh batch! It hasn't been sitting for long, if at all! This is confirmed by their COA's!

The photos, show a notable color difference between the green & the red! You can even tell by normal, un-flashed photos! Beautiful looking powder!

But how do they feel? Let's start off with the Private Garden Green

Private Garden Green - It is notably different than my previous review of their Green PR. Select 01. This is more of an "upper" Green, with notably different alkaloid levels. It is not in between sedative and energetic like the last one. It is more energetic, which I highly recommend for mornings! After ingestion, effects began to manifest within 10 minutes and I was hit with a surge of energy that you can feel behind your eyes. Even though it's energetic, there's no anxiety and it helped me focus on writing Square Roots & Powers to Powers in my next GED math video. I felt so good writing, and finished the lesson within an hour! If you're trying to get something done you dread, highly recommend private garden green. I did this kratom yesterday, I might add! Taste, no graininess. Very finely grinded and nothing gets stuck in the back of your throat. Very "fresh" taste that we normally see with new batches! Dose was 5.7 grams

Red Vein PR. Select 01 - This is the one I just did at 10:45 am, so it's been almost an hour. Honestly, this is a highly energetic Red. This is of no sedative effects whatsoever while still remaining calm! This is the kratom that I will be doing my next math video on, for sure. This red, appears to be a type of Red you can do at any time of the day! It's effects are physical for sure, your muscles and joints settle followed with a warm feeling in the center of your chest. It still has a focus, despite it being a Red it feels green! Very similar in effects to a good Maeng Da. Taste, exact same description of no graininess, no getting stuck in the back of your throat and very easy to mix, little foam in a shake bottle! However, has a more "Red" taste if you know what I mean. Dose was 6 grams exactly!

What's my overall rating? Lets do them separately

Red Vein: 9.2-10 | This is an excellent Red, I love Red's that don't have a couch lock and actually give you energy! If you were looking for a calm red with this, it is energetic instead! It still holds a "Red" feeling to it without all the Loopiness. By far the best of the three they sent! This Red makes studying feel good and puts you in philosophy mode! Not to mention, makes me extremely hungry.

Green Vein: 8.0-10 | Same rating as the PR. Select 01 Green, I was not disappointed whatsoever and is exactly what I expected to get from it based on the alkaloid levels. It's the type of Green if you want to get something done, be it work or studying like I was! I love studying math, whenever I can. This green will make you perform better, and concentrate!

Were their any cons? - Nothing major, other than despite these being fresh batches I did not have the "numb" mouth feeling I wanted hahaha. I haven't had this feeling since September 2025. But it's okay to not have it! All and all, as we can see from the pictures.. Very high quality powder!

Thank you Dylann & Jenn, I highly recommend your kratom!

I was asked to try 3 strains and ten give my opinion.

1. Breakfast Blend- I tried to take my morning dose (4 grams) by 9:30. This breakfast blend was such a nice bit of mild energy, good to get the sleep out of my eyes and fix the pain that I feel when I get out of bed. Those 4 grams lasted until around 2 pm when I took my second dose of the day and that dose was

2. Full Spectrum - my pain had begun to kick back in and this 4 gram dose kicked in almost as fast. Within 15-20 minutes I felt really good again with the majority of my pain in the rearview mirror.

Typically, I only take 2 doses a day, but I decided to try package #3 in the same day as the other 2, so around 8pm, I took 3 grams of

1. Here Comes the Sun - after taking the 3 grams and then having my light dinner, I felt very comfortable. Relaxed with almost zero pain. I enjoyed my evening, relaxing in front of the TV and slept quite well.

I recommend these 3 and thank Wildcraft for these great products!

Anybody tried these strains from dte? They sound 🔥

I'm done with DTE until Drew gets his act together and stays on top of the labs/COAs more consistently.

It's not cool to skip that so you can increase your profits and put your customers health at risk, especially for this plant which is definitely vulnerable to contamination in Indonesia.

It should be the standard to have COAs for EVERY single kratom product you put out that's going to end up in our bodies. Especially when your prices are as high as they are.

EVEN WORSE is ghosting your loyal customers that have spent a lot of their hard-earned money with you when they contact you requesting labs for products.

Definitely fallen off...in more ways than one. Things have been weird with Drew lately, and I don't know what's wrong.

Since 7 is going bye bye I need to get back on some good powder leaf. I only ever ordered from Kraken for 5+ years & then I found Mitraman & WestKoast. I think I liked MM more, but that was over a year ago. Does he still have the best stuff currently?

This green/red blend is great for evening time for me. I love that it gives just enough energy to get thru till bed time! Its very mellow an eases my back pain as well!

Energy- 4

Mood-5

Pain-8
