Hello,
I'm a long time lurker of the Nexus, wishing to become a contributor. I begun my research into spice roughly two years ago after a friend had brought it up. After a quick Google to find out more about this wonderful substance I was directed to the Nexus where I have been pouring through the wiki and posts to the best of my ability.
To give you a little background on me, I'm in my mid 20's and while I had always wished to expand my mind with the aid of various chemicals, I didn't take the dive until my early 20's. I procured my ACRB well over a year ago and only in the last 3 months did I decide that I was ready to develop the root bark into something more potent. I first started off with Cyb's Salt A/B tek and had moderate success. I had done an acid boil and kept the boil off but did not run it through the tek, so my yield was low. Thankfully I did not discard it and was able to recover everything in my second attempt at exposing the spice this last weekend. I also changed to using a combination of Earthwalker's and Cyb's tek which produced the prettiest crystals I have ever seen.
Being a newbie, I'm still having issues properly vaping the spice. I have made a classy machine using a 12yr old single-serving Glenlivet bottle and I am using an SOS pad w/all the soap washed out and torched to make sure nothing else is left. I have been measuring out 50mg for each dose but after reading other peoples experiences it seems I may be wasting a lot. I plan on trying the e-cig/ethanol route and if that doesn't work then I will spend the money on a GVG as they are held in high opinion around here.
As for my experiences, I've completely broken through 3 times and seen tracers probably 5. I've used music all three times and I believe I need to wane myself off so that I can experience something completely spiritual. I like how music eases me in but I do feel that it makes the experience difficult to remember. Thus far my journey's have been mostly static and observatory. They last for 5ish minutes and I seem to find myself in hallways. The first time I broke through I had this wonderful odd experience where the world stuttered as I turned my head. Almost like a broken gif. The second time I broke through I momentarily lost myself. It's such an odd sensation when you go to move parts of your body, be it your head or your arm and the mind temporarily forgets, "What is this?" "Oh yeah it's your arm silly."
I hope to contribute in anyway I can and I feel motivated to join the others that have tried in finding a economical and sure fire way for ingesting the spice using an e-cigarette or similar device.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
