Ran Kali Mist around '96-97, pure sativa, yield was so so, buds were very light and fluffy but the smoke was awesome.
Picked up several more seeds about 10+ yrs ago to try it again and I've run it lots of times since then (still have 4 beans left). Albeit it has a little more indica influence than the early version, but you can still find 'very' sativa leaning phenos, and the smoke is still unmistakably Kali (even the indica leaning ones). It has a really nice exotic sandalwood/incense taste and real good 'up' high. Don't know what the newest version is like? Funny thing, I've grown tired of the rest of Simon's 'original' strains, but not this one, it was a 'staple in my stable' for years, will run it again this year or next.
While I agree there's probably some 'better' sativas floating about, Kali is still a great puff, is a lot easier to grow and manage than a lot of them and yields fairly well. Hope this helps.
Peace
