The result of the first attempt is to the majority a thing like a sticky skin with some powder...see picture for more details. The total weight of the extraction is around 38gr from 100gr of dry Peruvian Torch. Is all of this active (I will bioassay for sure...) but it seems to be too much in compare with the results of other extractions online. Waiting for your input

You have two strong doses there.

Did you start off with powder or mash the cactus a lot? It really shouldn't come out like that unless so. Still good though!

I would pulverize/blend the product for even consistency and encapsulate.

I hope so! Neither powder nor mashing, just dry pieces... maybe my boiling or my heating was too much...
How am i suppose to consume ~15gr of this? Maybe try to powder them and put them in juice?

Some people make resin balls with things like cocoa powder or corn starch.
Or you could just chug it and bite down on a lime.
I like encapsulating but I never had that much excess.

Dry cactus makes goopier resin than fresh.

I recently came up with very similar results for my first attempt.

Separated 13g into three balls and swallowed them. Good stuffs! I am very excited about doing it again. Next time, I'm starting at 11:00am in the morning.

On the first Bioassesment, I ingested at 1:45 pm and was still going at 3:30am- but finally fell asleep - still journeying

thanks for the info. My resin is more like skin than a resin..it seems its not possible to make a ball out of it. I wish i knew what i did wrong or if its the quality of my cactus.

I've gone the cactus route several times (I now use hcl only for mesc).

I've gone with the balls, made it into a smoothie, and stuck it in capsules. I have to say, out of all three, capsules were by far the easiest way to get it down. The balls are a pretty heavy ordeal (we went with pure cactus, so about 50g of balls, or around 5g per ball - was vile), but the smoothie was a whole new kind of disgusting. That said, the smoothie (which came out as two pints of thick-as-poop) got me higher than the other methods (the capsules had what I can only assume to be dud cactus).

I've got a mate who's gone the tea way, which is probably the most time consuming method to do properly, but apparently the best.

BTW, in my experience, nothing covers the taste. The smoothies had another smoothie, sugar, honey, and some random blended fruit in there, and yet all I tasted was cactus. Sweeter tasting cactus that gave me a sugar rush, granted, but still cactus.

Below is how it looked in the pyrex before and after the evaporation, maybe it gives some clues on why i have some much excess...

I've not actually used this extraction technique before, so can't comment.

Are you doing it solo or with someone else? Also, if it has boiled down from 100g, the two strong doses should be correct. Can you blend what you have left?

I don't understand the first part of your question. Yeah I also hope for two strong doses without nausea...Yeah I'm thinking of blending this with some juice or something because it seems impossible to eat in another way...

"Solo or with someone else" - I meant are you doing a trip by yourself, or with a friend

I should imagine there will be nausea either way - that's why I always use HCL now. However, you'll be glad to hear that purging (ie. throwing up) seems to get you higher

Try to keep any mixture as liquid-like as possible. It'd be handy both going down (and possibly coming back up) if it is liquid. My smoothies were so thick that they barely moved when you turned them upside down. I had to eat it with a spoon. Best if you can just neck it, IMO

in that case I will be with someone else thanks for the info... liquid shake

No worries! Just a quick note on the nausea - I found myself quite at peace with it, and got myself into a headspace where I was like "I might be sick. I might not be. Either way, I feel great."

It won't taste good at all going in, but once it kicks in, your give a f--- meter will hit -50

I hope you have a great time with your friend and mescalito!

thanks for the good vibes man. namaste

Anytime, dude. Let us know how it goes

Oh, one more thing, if you can control your music whilst on the trip, try hitting this when it kicks in. Absolute beauty.
