Kava extracts

I have tried a bit of kava tincture, never had to strong of effects aside from sedation.
Anyways an ebay vendor I follow has been listing batches of 70% co2 extracted kavalactones, I was eying his last listing but they sold out very quick.
So just now I noticed he listed more and I jumped on it. 5g for 20$ with free shipping from Cali. There is a similiar listing from another vendor that costs more for less 
Here is a pic of it:

It looks pretty interesting 
Any thoughts? Should I start pretty low with it? The listing says "potent stuff", I have no idea how much I should take really need to do some research.
Anyone have experience with kava extracts like this?

Take a toothpick and roll up a bb sized ball or two, very little goes a long way w/ co2 extracts usually. i'd be interested to know if it's from tudei or noble kava.

Thanks for the advice! It should get here in a few days, can't wait to test it out.
The eBay seller is <SNIP!>, not sure if they make it or are just buying and re selling.
They ship from Cali if that helps you figure it out.
Their lives seem pretty good and they seem to list it in smaller batches so I assumed they made it most likely.

Would love to hear how it went. I have also tried a small amount from a kava tincture. The effects were mild but left one calm and content

Talked to the seller, whom I have bought seeds from before, and he definitely talked about it as if he made it, and claimed it lasted him about five uses. I might have to try some out, as I've never had kavva before and it sounds very enjoyable.

By 5 uses do you mean he eats 1 gram each time or what? I heard the recommended dose is a grain of rice sized speck or so.
For the price it seemed worth trying out to me, if I don't like it I will just sell or trade it to someone who hopefully will.
It seems promising though and kava tincture can be pretty enjoyable/ relaxing.

He said it was 70% kavalactones and did some simple math based on relaxation/sleep and higher, recreational doses and said that it would last 2-35 doses, and that it lasted him about five.

I just find that surprising becouse there is a near identical listing with this in the description:
Quote:
A small amount goes a long way... 
Dose for relaxing tea - 1-2 grains of rice worth. (can be made as tea, placed directly in mouth, put in gel caps, etc...)
That listing is a bit more expensive for only 3g but it looks similiar and is also 70% co2 extracted kavalactones.
I would be concerned taking that much kava extract at once personally. Who knows though

Remember, the five uses is anecdotal, we don't know his size or tolerance. Do your own research. Keep in mind these people are trying to sell their products.

It just got here! Interesting stuff, I a about to try my first dose of it.
It has a super strange smell that I think is best described as a citrus + pepper scent. Really intense smell. Not sure I want to taste it 
I might taste just a dab then put a little grain of rice sized ball into a capsule. Wish me luck!
So far I have only taken 1.5g of kratom so I a relatively sober albeit a bit relaxed and feeling good already

Wow it actually taste good kind of! It tastes like the kava tincture I have but super potent and without the alcohol 
I literally put a speck on my tongue and it made it go numb 
I think I am already feeling more sedated/ relaxed too! Damn that was fast...
It hasn't even been 10 minutes I think and my body is starting to feel pretty heavy 
I just put a decent little blob into a capsule, weighed it up at .08

I shave been super baked for weeks to cope with this election in general 
I just took my second dose, .12 along with some blue lotus extract. Feeling sedated already.
Hopefully I will be able to get to bed early for once.

I noticed that the effects of Kava tincture were more immediate and strong than traditional or even instant kava, but wear off quicker. There was a really good kava vendor making Co2 extract but he stopped because he didn't believe the effects felt enough like traditional kava.

The alcohol probably speeds up sub lingual absorption and likewise gets processed quicker. Or maybe fresh kava has a different profile of actives.
I am not too experienced with kava but the co2 extract did feel extra sedating/ relaxing I want to say and maybe not as uplifting as tincture.
I will have to experiment with it more though before deciding anything.

I have only tried extracts really but it is pretty cool. Very subtle/ mild compared to other plants like kratom and cannabis though.
IME it gives a nice mild relaxation/ sedation and can induce a slightly dreamlike quasi trance state. Reminds me of harmalas in some ways and can help with meditation.
Right now I have some 70x a generous member here gifted me and .3-4g or so in a capsule gives me a nice at ease/ relaxed/ sedated feeling.
Definitely worth checking out. I want to try the traditional method of consumption eventually where you mix the lotus flowers into wine and smoke joints of it.

I wonder if the kava extract was made with super critical co2, or sub critical liquid co2. Just curious

The listings don't say I believe but you can find em pretty easily and message the sellers if you really want to know.
