30% kavalactones, I guess it's just some powder sprayed with them, or something to that effect. The kava subreddit seems to heavily frown upon extracts especially this particular type since there's a Chinese website that sells it in this form, but it might be more sketchy? Or the guy is just mildly racist or something lol. This particular guy is quite a smartass and isn't pleasant to interact with. At any rate, I don't know if any of you have tried an extract like this, I was talking with someone who said they're 220lbs and half a teaspoon was enough to feel really good, which is like 1 gram or something.

I'm once again summoning you for if you've tried this lol. I still have the medium grind and I've yet to get a strainer and do all the stuff correctly. Seems like a bit of a process, I mean probably only 10 minutes or something. I have a wire mesh and some rags but I'd risk getting root in the stuff so maybe that's not the best move. I finished my micronized which honestly sucks ass and wrecked my stomach, so then I bought tinctures from my local headshop, basically had to drink half or the whole bottle to feel pretty good. It's potent but $15 for a good kava buzz isn't that worth it.
I only wanted to try it because it seems that kava reduces my severe tinnitus exponentially or rather the kavalactones, there like 1.2mg of kavalactones in it in all. I'd also finished my last 15g of micronized which even after days of getting my stomach back to normally fucked me up all over again, but now I'm good again. I don't know why it helps my tinnitus that much but it does and this seems to be a common thing in users. The extract I only got because it seemed like easy prep, just a tiny bit and I feel pretty nice.
As soon as I stopped taking it my ears began ringing so bad after weeks of improvement, and I'd taken kava for weeks. It seemed to make sense, and it's been going back down. The extract probably won't arrive until mid to late this week as the website had no shipping option (free shipping but I would've paid more to get it sooner).
Otherwise if I'm impatient, maybe someone has a ghetto kava straining process. I've heard wire mesh can work but I'm not really sure how it would. There aren't many posts on it and the ones that exist aren't pleasant and imply a lot of root would get into the drink. Some people can somehow take it plain without stomach issues.
Oh one more thing, about "instant" kava. Is this literally just finely ground powder? I'm guessing yes, that's what I thought the medium grind would be. But some vendors show instant as micronized while others say it was extracted from liquid or something and is a finer powder.
