Wow, I was enthralled, so that was a bit of an anticlimax
I am also particularly interested in the approximately 50:50 5-APB/6-APB combos, more so making the combo yourself with powder, as opposed to pellets that some places are putting forward as the ideal mix.
Given the amount of poly-drug use that is (frankly unfortunately) discussed on this site, especially it seems when experimenting with substances the experimenter is not too familiar with, I am surprised that there is not more information on this combo, which from my mind is a sensible and natural combo to gravitate towards. Much like the legendary MDMA/MDA combos of times gone by.
What is it like? Is it better than either of them on their own? So far, from this thread at least, it seems set and setting are basically determinative of which is better, the 6 or 5. It seems like the 6 is the harder hitter and the more club orientated and the 5 is potentially the more beautiful.
People I know have found the 6 to be very trashy, like you are simply too visibly effected by the substance to be in public. These were doses of about 130 to 140mg of powder in a capsule. Is this simply too much for a club environment and would a dose closer to 100mg be preferred?
What is clear is that there is a long come up, that much is certain. The pellets are understandly even worse. It is much longer than MDMA or MDA.
The other matter I am curious about is what form the most commonly supplied 5/6-APB comes in. Is it the chemical itself straight up (I have no idea if this is a solid a room temperature, I would guess not, which would answer the question) or is it in salt form like MDMA normally is and if so what salt - e.g. MDMA HCl.
The reason I ask is many people have said snorting is no good and plugging is no better. If it is not in salt form then this fact would completely explain this outcome and frankly snorting or plugging would be a complete waste. If a substance does not very readily, like fantastically, dissolve in water then snorting and plugging should not be attempted. Snorting will not properly absorb and who knows what issues this might cause. Swallowing the drip is the best outcome you will get. Plugging just won't absorb the substance at all and you will just simply expel your precious APB down the S-Bend the next time you sit on the toilet. This is even if it is a long time afterwards.
Finally, it still amazes me that people compare both of these substances to MDMA. The reality is, the chemical structure is very similar to MDA, bar one slight modification, and not MDMA. And the actual pharmacological/physiological/psychoactive etc etc effects are more similar to MDA imo. I don't believe this is a coincidence. It plainly isn't. So the question is, when will we see some N-methyl-5-APB or 6-APB being made, because I believe that substance will share very similar properties with MDMA, as these substances seem to share with MDA.
