Hi there, when making changa i filter out the powder.
Nobody likes inhaling fine powder, so i saved it up.
Now i have 250 grams of very fine caapi powder and i want to make 10x caapi with it.
As i understand the latest fashion is to boil the powder (for how long?), filter and then reduce the tea. When reduced you add your normal caapi and let it soak up the tea.
This sounds all clear to me but since i have very fine caapi dust floating in this tea i am thinking of what method i could use to filter the tea.
I was thinking of using plain (non bleached) coffee filtres. Will this work?
Thanks in advance.
p.s. if i understand correctly i should add 25 grams of normal caapi to this tea (of 250grams) and i will have 10x caapi? And for maximum but safe and reasonable maoi effects would you advice 10x or 20x caapi?

You can filter with coffee filter or with funnel and coffee filter.
People make this process that you are saying and it does work fine... Personally though, I wonder how effective smoking alkaloid salts (because in the plant its in salt form) is if compared to freebase, and if there are any possible health issues (for example you wouldnt want to smoke DMT fumarate because it can generate toxic/irritating compounds).
But since we are not sure whats the exact salt form of harmalas in the plant, its hard to even take a guess at how harmful it might be.
I dont want to scare you or anything, many people do this and so far I dont hear negative reports, but im exposing how I feel.. If I was to smoke harmalas, I would extract the harmalas by using a base to precipitate the freebase out of the solution, filter that, and add the freebase extract to whatever smoking mixture I have. This way you can also control the dosage better.
Regardless if you do the extraction or just this 10x infusion as you are doing, I suggest you do with a smaller amount of plant material because if for some reason you dont like it and you feel its too strong or whatever, you havent 'wasted' anything and you can just make a new batch with different strenght next time.

Hey thanks for your reply. it made me think.
I understand how you feel, but then i wondered and thought:
"if i smoke plain caapi with infused dmt i am also smoking the salts no?"
What's your thought on this? higher dosage more toxicity? Then whats the difference between smoking 1 gram of 20x or 20 grams plain health wise?
Cheers Haxxorz.
