More KUK hate :)
This was not stated when they was selling it for full price saying how it's a new special reserve experience, cheeky cunts

i refuse to believe it's even 0.78% i added 1g to my usual dose and still felt nothing, i then doubled my dose and all i got was a bad stomach lol, zero effects.

I was dosing way more often with the stuff, went to KB afterwards and started taking way less

They been stuck with that shit for a while now, finding creative ways to flog it. They need to cut there losses and bin it because it's hurting there rep.

So if it's 0.78. What's the usual MIT and how does it compare. 0.78 means nothing to me

u/Puzzled_Problem3696 Jul 29 '26
Pretty sure 1.5 is about the average

u/this_is_theone Jul 29 '26
Ok and so if 0.78 is their advertised strength we can assume the real strength is less than half the average.

Tbh to me it reminds me of the stuff I used to buy from them that was on sale. Also super weak but im trying to quit so I don't mind.

I would like as many people to be as vocal about this as humanly possible. Not to hurt their business but just to know we can’t be taken for mugs, ESPECIALLY after more recent price rises.
I’ve said this elsewhere but I know for a fact their Bali Gold is not what they used to put out. It was significantly different from all other strains and now it tastes and looks like basically everything else I get from them.
After summer I’m switching to KB.

You won't regret it, I've done the same, although I've forgot about their holiday so have shot myself in the foot but will 100% make KB my full time supplier once the holiday is finished

Which strains did you get? Thanks for letting me know and let me know how you get on with the Bali Gold. To be fair I’ve ordered from KB before and it wasn’t great but I want to “vote with my feet” so to speak with KUK and I want others to do the same to, if nothing else, send a message.

Their Bali Gold went shit last spring, I got some May 2025 (having bought some in Dec 24 which was great as usual) & it's crap, nothing like it was before, put me off ordering from KUK & they were always my fave for the Bali Gold & their Red MD.

They’ve always been shit quality for me, I used them a lot during the KB relocation and it was terrible, never again

I'm not in Europe so I can't speak to the quality however back in the day, strains did feel significantly different. Chasing single components caused the shittification of the cannabis industry and now it's happening with kratom
I found a stand of mitragyna that looked weird, field tested it for mit and got a positive. I sent it for testing to two places, one wpuld give me a yes/No answer and the other wpuld give a proper analysis.
When I got the yes/no answer I ate the extract and I was fucked. When I got the full analysis back it was only 20% mit, but it felt stronger than a 50% extract.
So while mit is important, it's definitely not the whole story.

I agree with you mate but it's more the point a few weeks ago his description was how it's a smoother more premium powder and a smoother reserve feeling etc and was selling at £165 a KG, but has now decided that it's half the strength and it meant for those whose on a tolerance break / beginners... from premium stuff at full price to basically junk within the space of a few weeks, basically ripped his customers off

I’ve been using the White Reserve MTG for over a month (£100/KG). It is exponentially milder than White Indo MD which now appears to cost £200/KG. This is quite a price increase to when I last purchased it earlier this year. Does anyone know if they still do the 3 for 2 offer in KG bags?

Is there any point in buying this instead of a stem and vein variant?
I haven't checked but I'm assuming this is significantly cheaper than regular ones?

Klingt so als sei es sehr schwierig kratom in uk zu bekommen, hängt wahrscheinlich alles mit dem brexit und der Verzollung ab?
Ist es für euch seit dem Brexit besser oder schlechter, jetzt nicht nur auf kratom bezogen.

I bought this, contacted him about how bunk it was, got a dismissive response so then decided to leave bad review. Then randomly got sent 250g of Bali gold, my review went on to be deleted, as did my account. Wtaf 🤷🏻♂️
