I remember 2cb being somewhat visual for me. A lot of pastel colors and especially fun to look at cloud patterns like Charlie said. I took 2cb and went to see Contagion at the movies. A pandemic movie when that stuff was basically only fiction.
Come to think of it, I haven't used a psychedelic that I wouldn't describe as visual. Some trips are less so, but I've gotten visuals from all the psychedelics I've tried.
For me, I feel like, in general, I tend to experience less visuals than most people report, with most things. But the 2C-Xs in general are quite visual for me, and 2C-B is among the most visuals of them. It's not the most interesting of the visuals, though, it's just very colorful and bright, and everything is embellished, it's quite saturating in the visual field. It's the "persian rug"-style visuals, quite predictable in nature, not anything that is mind blowing in any way, just pretty.
2C-E can be even more visual, but sometimes, it hasn't been all that visual. Seems to be quite trip-dependent (not dose-dependent though, unlike 2C-B which is quite dose-dependent). 2C-E's visuals, when they're pronounced, are unpredictable and pretty profound, including things such as seeing fractals of breathtaking complexity, emerging from the air, things becoming so altered as to be unrecognizable as they get farther away from my eyes (for example, I was watching TV and I was like wtf am I watching? It looked and sounded like some hostile blue/green alien from Star Wars or something, shouting gibberish... then when I walked closer to the TV, I was able to see it was the Pope giving an address - lol). And large-scale perspective shifting/breathing, like a whole mountainside appearing to breathe. Then other times, it's not all that visual. 12mg can be very visual, then 16mg can be not that much some other time. I've only taken 18mg a few times but it was always very visual. Never taken more than 18mg, never plan to. 10-12mg produces an experience that can be difficult at times and is quite strong.
2C-E can be very visual, but the sense that is the most profoundly altered, which is also a consistent effect for me, is my hearing. It has an incredible audio enhancement/distortion that is really unique. If I listen to music, I feel like I can hear every intricacy of every note of every instrument as if it were happening slowly enough for me to observe it, crystallized in place, or something. Yet it doesn't actually sound slow, it's like my brain is able to comprehend a massive level of detail and also think about it, in a tiny amount of time. My ears also feel incredibly sensitive to the most miniscule sounds or qualities to sounds, but without feeling like everything is too loud and without being overly sensitive. And my sense of wonder and awe is at full tilt, too, so the experience of listening to music is just unparalleled on 2C-E. It's really unlike any other psychedelic in that regard.
It doesn't stop with music, either. 2C-E makes me really sensitive in a similar way, to all sounds. Listening to the "silence", I realize how not silent it really is. Every single tiny little noise, I feel that I can glean so much information and experience from. One time in particular stands out, I was on maybe 14mg, or 16mg, and on my deck, at my house I live in now, but along time ago. It was summer, and night time, and I was outside. The night forest sounds were a symphony, I could hear absolutely everything, down to a tiny little twig breaking or leaf rustle, all at the same time. All of it was registering.... every tree frog or insect calling out, every leaf rustle... no matter how quiet, I could hear them all, but not just hear them... I could point to the exact spot each sound was happening, I could also thinking about what it was, what made it happen, etc. And the forest here at night is LOUD and, well, it's a jungle... tons of stuff going on. It seemed like I could hold any amount of sensory input and accompanying thought, all at once, effortlessly. So cool.
