rolled into the back of his head, twisted around and ended up in this blueish green room staring straight down at the floor. SWIM noticed these 2 things standing on legs very much like his own, carrying on about their business as usual. SWIM kept feeling like he was going to slip away so he started yelling WAIT! WAIT! What is going on here! What is this? WAIT! What is going on? They didn't seem to care for SWIM's curiosity and continued doing what they do, and SWIM slowly returned to planet earth left with same desire for knowledge that SWIM left with.

welcome to the nexus! was this your first time?

thanks, and no. This was not SWIM's first time. SWIM has been experimenting with smoking the spice on top of marijuana. SWIM is still trying to get the technique down. Only today did SWIM realize SWIM should use a different herb other than marijuana. SWIM says there is still lots of spice absorbed in the remaining marijuana, but next time he will try using something else. SWIM also has a cheap digi-vape that he is considering using. However the vape doesn't read the actual temperature, but rather gives a number ranging from 1-106 to gauge temperature. SWIM has tried the spice about 6-7 times now and says all of his experiences have left him more curious than before. SWIM wants to explore the wonder at hand, but is having difficulty doing so. He says the effects so quick and cloudy that it's hard to do anything. SWIM wants to know how to have more successful breakthroughs and more meaningful experiences. Just like everyone I guess.

well may i recommend a VaporGenie..if you can afford it..its the most wonderful vaporizing pipe ever..its flame powered..just like a bowl..except its a beautiful wooden bowl..perfect for spice...its got a screw on top with a ceramic filter that disperses the heat and gets any air that passes through it really warm..perfect for vaping..the other good thing about the screw on top is that no vapor can come out of the pipe...and nothing can fall out!! which is good too...and lastly...well not really but..when you come out of hyperspace and you jump up and scream 'oh my god!' and drop your piece..it wont break!! which is handy...

the vaporgenie also seems to make the experience last a bit longer..and may even smooth it out a bit..SWIM hasnt used anything but that in so long he doesnt even know what its like to smoke spice on top of weed..

SWIM recommends using some MAOI's to slow down and clear up the experience..its like a wonderful key to the spice realm...you can make a very simple syrian rue tea by grinding up 2-3 grams of rue..and then pour boiling(60ml) water over them and stir it for 30 seconds...and then immediately filter the liquid through a coffee filter...this will keep the rue tea from tasting nasty..and you supposedly get most of the maoi's out..

drink this down...and then maybe 30 minutes after you should be feeling the effects fairly well by then...you can smoke some spice and have a really nice time with it...makes it much more enjoyable and also much more powerful..

SWIM also finds it good to do a little preparation before doing breakthroughs...he likes to clean his space...light some incense and spread the smell around...he recommends Palo Santo wood..its a wonderful incense because its wood..and you dont have to burn barely any of it to get a nice aroma floating around...after he burns incense..he may get some stones and crystals out that he is attracted to...some are better for journeying than others...and makes a little pattern with them in front of himself...

he then sits for a few minutes and breathes and focuses on love going out to the universe and to everybody and everything..and he likes to hold this thought while he takes his hits..and then as he counts down to lift off...

after taking your hit..it helps to take a little bit of air on top of it..to get some oxygen for one..and it pushes the spice deep into your lungs and it clears your throat out..then he swallows..it sort of locks his lungs up making it easier to hold his hit in..and then the most important part is SMILING..its seriously the most important part...it does something to the trip...intensifies it but makes it nicer as well...

he holds his hits in for 20 seconds..and if he hasnt broken through from the first hit..he will then take another one and hold that one for 20 seconds...but usually but the time he gets 10 seconds through the second hit..hes already gone...

just remember to smile no matter what happens

SWIM has been reading about the use of MAOI's with smoked spice. SWIM was considering trying THH. SWIM wants to know if he should start with a different MAOI, and what the differences are.

SWIM is looking into VaporGenies, and is curious how well they work. SWIM liked the fact that it's portable and much cheaper than a lot of vapes, but is wondering if they are HIGH quality vaporizers? When doing spice (with a vaporgenie) does SWIY mix it with anything?

they are very high quality..they are made of beautiful hard wood..which actually makes the experience a little nicer...instead of smoking out of some weird ass crack pipe..you can smoke it out of a beautiful natural wooden bowl! SWIM usually puts a bed of blue lotus flowers down..they seem to catch the spice pretty well..and any vapor from them isnt going to make you cough like say..weed does...weed makes it pretty hard to hold the hit in long enough to absorb all the spice...

there are quite a few people that i have convinced to get the genie..and im pretty sure that most of them are pretty happy with them...it tastes better too because you arent burning any of the spice...no smoke..only vapor!

and THH is a fine place to start..but SWIM also recommends getting use to all the maoi's at some point..well all..harmine harmaline and thh..SWIM doesnt have much experience with any other ones...take them a few times by themselves so you can get use to just their effects...then test it with a bit of spice..and then when you think you are ready go all the way

SWIM appreciates all the info I've been relaying him

VaporGenie is very nice. It's easy to overdo it because you take one slow hit. 15mg sent me, whew, gone. Perfect if you've had some THH before, but freakin intense. VaporGenie, very nice. Vapor is very smooth and mild.

Actually, with the VaporGenie you can breath in slow and in one long hit you'll start feeling the effects already, and still haven't even reached 75% lung capacity. You could just keep inhaling until you're in hyperspace. Very, very efficient.

Jorkest, I will definitely have to remember to smile. I didn't even remember to take in a bit of clean air and swallow beforehand. Sounds like it would prove very useful.

Again, thank you for the feedback. SWIM thinks he'll be purchasing a vaporgenie in the near future.
