Hi nexians,

I've been looking into making changa.
Last week I made some 10x Caapi leaf by boiling 10gr of leaf in water for 3x 30 minutes, combine liquids and evap almost completely, then add 1gr of leaf and letting it evaporate completely. This left me with approximately 2.5 grams of final product.

Which, if I were to take 1 gram of this final product would give me 4x strength (right?)

So I decided to try and get closer to a final 10x/gram product by repeating the above procedure and boiling 20gr of leaf instead.
After letting it evap on 1gr I now ended up with 5.5 gr.

Which would mean i now have a final product with a potency of 3.6x/ gr...

So by using more leaf, I ended up with a weaker final product/ gram!

And, it would also mean it's actually impossible to create a 10x Caapi leaf, as the weight increase is simply too high?

My final product is very dry, and rock hard, although I might be able to dry the larger clumps a tiny bit more.

Any thoughts on this?

Safe travels...

Ps. It does smell very sweet and inviting, both before smoking and during
