I'm just sitting here stuffing it in with a small stick. Takes forever.
Does anyone recommend I make a tea?

I recommend tea. It tastes nasty, but you can get a lot down that way.

just shovel the cap into the bag, then get a tiny measuring spoon to top it off.

Its weird that the tea tastes bad. I think that kratom itself smells a lot like tea.

For me, the tea has never been as effective as taking the stuff straight.
I just toss it on the tongue & wash it down with some water or juice. Done and over with. If done with the right technique you can't even taste it and none of the powder will be left on the tongue or in the throat.

That's what it smells like to me as well...A dark earthy tea. Taste like it to me as well, not bad just strong & bitter. I've actually had some kratom leaf that has a slight orange/citrus aroma & flavor under the bitterness.
I've made kratom tea with some hibiscus and honey and it was actually pleasant tasting.

I have a couple of suggestions that would worth considering.
1. You can take the large part of the capsule, dip it in the bag then take the end (not the end with ink) of a Retractable Ballpoint Pen and tamp down the Kratom. Repeat this process until it's full, then put on the small end of the cap.
2. If that's too much of a pain, you can do what I do and take a scoop of Kratom (3 - 4 grams), put it in a small cup of orange juice, stir it up and drink it fast. The citrus in the juice also helps to activate the alkaloids faster.
3. Go to Amazon and use the search term "Capsule Maker" and you'll find a cool capsule maker from Capsule Connection that makes 24 capsules at a time. I have one that's size "0" and "00". You can also order gelatin or vegetarian capsules there for purchase. I buy my empty capsules at a local Health/ Grocery here in California, so do a search on a search engine to see if you can buy them locally.
4. You can make tea, but as openmind posted, it's not as effective. You can either buy those empty tea bags from your local grocer or use the tea make with the built in steeper. Worst case scenario, you can make a steeper with a clean piece of shirt that you cut into one, or something similar.
I hope this helps

I have the capsule machine with size 00 capsules. I use it for powdered shroom. It works awesome!

This is what I did. I was disappointed with kratom, I didn't feel a buzz at all, not even a head change. It was maeng da kratom. I probably ordered from a shitty vendor, but meh.. who knows?
Having an opioid tolerance probably doesn't help either.

Last time I just ate straight powder I threw up. Sometimes I'm fine then others I feel sick I tried the tea doing two boilings of 15mins then adding the remaining liquid together and drinking that. It worked for me. It tastes and smells like green tea to me. Even the toss n wash taste like green tea. Cold nasty powdered green tea but still.

If you get one of those pill encapsulating machines, make sure it's 00 gauge. I have one that makes 24 caps at once, and at 00 gauge, I can only cram, at ultimate max, .8g into one cap. I have a friend who has the exact same one, and he can't get more than a half gram into a capsule, so I think there's a bit to be said for technique. But I used to cap up a pound or so at a time, so I had a lot of practice.

The capsule machines work excellent, but honestly toss and wash is the way to go. But I also take 20+ grams at a time so I can't exactly be eating 40 caps at a time.
I just toss and wash 5-7 grams at a time and I'm good to go.

Most of mine end up at .7, but on occasion, they'll hit .8. This is also calculating in cap weight (~.1 per), so while they mostly read at .8 on the scale, I'll sometimes get a few that are .9. My theory is that I can get the most into the interior pills. I really wish I could get a whole gram into one. Once I tried putting a small amount into the cap tops, fucked everything up.
