Questions on kratom

There's quite a bit of information on kratom out there but I just couldn't seem to come to a conclusion. So I have sone questions here. 1. Does powdered kratom loose potency over time? If so how fast because I wanna buy in bulk but not If I loose potency.
2. What's the most reliable vendor? I don't necessarily want the cheapest, I just want to be able to trust where I'm getting it from.
Thanks guys

Its doesn't loose potency that quick. It can be kept for years and its still good.
It varies quite a lot depending on the strain you buy in a similar way that weed does. I'd suggest trying various strains first to find out what one you prefer.
Personally I find the plant matter quite nauseating and I prefer extract. Extract is expensive so its best to make you own. You can just do a simple extraction with isopropyl.
Any of the shroomery supporting vendors will be very reliable.

What strain do you prefer? I'm pretty clueless on effects of different strains so I might just go by what others prefer

Kratom's alright, but that shit almost always has me gagging HARD as soon as I swallow it. Imagine mouthfuls of dirt. And every once in a while when I do it I'll lose a few hours to just straight puking on a constant.
If you like opiates, though, and don't want to become a junkie faster than you can say thirty milligrams then go with this shit. It's not the epic light up a 'Port and nothing else matters rush that you'll get from railing roxys, but it's smooth and warm and pretty damn euphoric in its own bittersweet way.
As far as potency? Go with an online vendor. I've only picked it up from local smoke shops- who LOVE to overprice it 'round here, and are really hit or miss with it- 'cause I don't feel like dealing with the day the front office to my apartment complex gets a box full of weird leafy/powdery shit in my name.
And strains? I don't know a god damn thing. I just know Kratom is that shit behind the counter, usually in the bag with the picture of a pirate, and I only bought it 'cause a girl working the register at this one shop told me it was like swallowing a few Percs if I took enough.

It really varies a lot. I like this thai I used to get from a particular vendor but not all thai was the same or as good. The thai from 1 vendor will be a bit different from the thai from another. All my friends prefered this indo strain to the thai I like as well so you might not like what I like. The bali is interesting its really pokey but can be really nauseating.
You'll have to experiment really because they do vary a lot from strain to strain and vendor to vendor. Have you ever used kratom before?

Opiate-like highs in general can be pretty nauseating. But trust me, once you're up, you won't mind throwing up once or twice or seven hundred times.
Okay, maybe 700 would be a tad obnoxious. But you catch my drift...

I'd recommend buying a small amount of a few different types, maybe thai, bali and indo. Say 30g ish of each and maybe get 10g of 20x or decent extract. the decent extract is the best. Def try it before you go bulk - a lot of people find it just doesn't agree with them or they don't like it at all !

Yeah, it's really hit or miss. I definitely enjoy the occasional Kratom buzz despite all the shitty side effects, but I let my pillhead friend swallow a whole ounce of some extract once, which is a lot more than I've ever done in one shot, when he was starting to graduate his dumb ass over to heroin and he thought it was decent, but was still just like..."meh, i'd rather have my pills or powders anyday" when it was over.
It might be too weak, too subtle or too nauseating. But if you do like it, you'll like it just fine. Trust me on that much.
