If you are new to kratom, finding the right product for you might seem like an impossible task. Also, if you have been using kratom for a while, you might have found yourself scratching your head before making a purchase decision on new products. With so many products in the market, finding the right one is not always easy. In many cases, people rely on the kratom color to choose a strain, as most people know that red is good for relaxation, white is good for energy, and green strains are more balanced. But this is not always the best way of choosing your kratom powder. There are other differences that you should take into consideration besides the color of the strain. In this article, we will see a comparison between Maeng Da vs. regular kratom powders to help you make an informed decision if you decide to go for the most popular kratom strain.
What Is Maeng Da?
So, first things first, what is Maeng Da and why is it so popular? Is it just another strain? Although Maeng Da can be considered as just another kratom strain, this is not entirely correct. Kratom strains are defined by the region where they come from. So, for instance, Bali kratom’s origin is the island of Bali, and Borneo Kratom is a Borneo native strain.
But where does Maeng Da come from? As you may know, Maeng Da is not a region, instead, it is a name that literally means “Pimp Grade”, in reference to its potency. In terms of its origin, it is not clear where Maeng Da comes from. But the first references to the strain are in Thailand, where manual laborers used it to increase stimulation and energy.
Maeng Da Vs. Regular Kratom Powders: Is It Worth the Price?
Maeng Da is considered one of the most potent kratom strains, some even compare it with a kratom extract. So, a smaller amount of Maeng Da will go a long way. However, not everyone agrees with this opinion. In fact, there are users who think that Maeng Da is just another strain.
On the other hand, Maeng Da is considered a well-rounded strain by most individuals, as it can give you not only energy but will also help you to sleep at night.
Is Maeng Da worth the price? There’s no easy answer to this question. For many people, Maeng Da is the best strain out there, conversely, for others, it is just marketing. So, the best thing to do would be to try it for yourself and decide whether or not this strain is for you.
Can You Mix Maeng Da?
Due to Maeng Da’s high price, many people wonder if they can mix it with a regular strain to make their money’s worth. The answer to this question is yes. In fact, many kratom users like to mix their strains to find the best results.
Nevertheless, take into consideration that mixing kratom strains is often a matter of trial and error, and it’s not always easy to find the best mix. So, if you would like to try mixing Maeng Da with other strains, we recommend that you start with small amounts. This way, if the mix doesn’t satisfy you, you won’t spoil the whole batch.
Also, consider what you want to achieve when mixing strains. So, if you are looking for energizing effects, you may want to try mixing a pinch of white Maeng Da, with another white strain. And, since Maeng Da will probably be the most expensive strain in the mix, we recommend that you start by using a smaller amount of Maeng Da and a higher amount of your regular kratom powder.
Should You Buy Maeng Da?
Now that you know Maeng Da, it is time to make a purchase decision. Is Maeng Da for you? Should you buy it? Again, there’s no general answer to this question, it depends on what you are looking for and, obviously, on your budget. So, before purchasing Maeng Da, ask yourself these questions:
- Am I new to kratom? If the answer is yes, you may want to try a less potent strain first.
- Does my strain cover my needs? If yes, you won’t need to change it, if no, it depends on why it isn’t giving you what you need. If the problem is that it is not giving you the effects that you are looking for, maybe you’d need to try out another strain (not necessarily Maeng Da). So, maybe if you are using a red strain for energy, you may need to switch to a white variety. But if your regular strain is not giving you the potency that you need, Maeng Da might be a good option.
- What’s my budget? If you are on a low budget, Maeng Da might not be the best option. But if your budget allows it, why not go for it?
Finally, remember that with kratom there’s not always a one-size-fits-all. What works for some people might not work for you and vice versa.
Where To Buy Maeng Da?
If you have decided to go for it and try Maeng Da, we recommend that you only buy from reputable vendors. Many people go for the cheapest price, but this is not always the wisest idea, since you never know what you are going to get. So, follow these tips to find a good vendor:
- Is it a well-established Company? Vendors that have been in the industry for a long time, often mean quality.
- Does the site look professional?
- Do they have good customer service that you can reach?
- Do they have good shipping and returns policy?
- What do their reviews look like?
Once you have found the vendor that best suits your needs, you can buy your Maeng Da!
