Opioids smoking powder heroin?

I know there are a bunch of different types of dope out there, but only one kind ever seems to reach this part of the country - light tan powder with little specks of black and white in it. After doing a bit of research I'm pretty sure what we get is "no. 4" heroin, since my friend who shoots just dissolves, heats and injects it with no other prep work. Since I don't use needles (I don't use opiates much at all anymore tbh), I always snort my dope, but last night I decided to try vaporizing a bit by sandwiching it in a bong bowl between layers of bud and not applying the flame directly. It seemed like it worked, kind of, I got a bit of a rush that lasted maybe 15-20 minutes and quickly disappeared.

So, I'm curious if there is either a better way to smoke this kind, or if there is some kind of preparation I can do to increase the efficiency. I know smoking dope is a tried and true ROA but I don't want to waste any more until I know what I'm doing. Would using a box/whip-style vaporizer work? The idea of using foil sketches me out but I'd be down to try that too, although I thought that only works with tar.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out!
 
I get similiar powdered heroin as you described "light tan powder with little specks of black and white in it" and freebasing it off foil has always been a very effective ROA for me. I can understand why you're sketched out about foil, but there's a somewhat less toxic way of using foil to base heroin. You're gonna want to put your dope on the dull side of the foil, but first find the area that you're gonna put your dope on and heat the shinny side of the foil to burn off whatever toxins that can be burnt off. Now put your dope on the dull side that has been heated underneath previously and dance the flame lightly under the foil and you may want to form a trail with the dope and "chase the dragon" you just want to vape it. If you just keep it in one spot you'll burn away and waste a good majority of the dope. Hope this is helpful I'm a little throwed off right now so I hope it makes sense to ya' bud haha.
 
I get the same kind. Its like not even white more of a greyish tan color. I don't know about the specks, i mean it looks like it a little but its not all specks mostly just the tan grey color. I asked a guy in the city about it and they say you can smoke heroin in any form so I tried chasing it with foil few times. It sucks, out of all the times I did i only felt something about 3-4 times. One time though i sprinkled a little bit in a "oregano" joint since i don't smoke weed anymore. It felt like it worked but I dont even try anymore I just snort it. be careful
 
I'd say about a good inch, or maybe 2 depending on how high and big the flame is. use a weak one so that it dont sorch it all right away.
Yeah sounds right to me, I personally use a bic lighter. I just smoked some using the foil method a little bit ago and I'm feelin' mighty fine haha.
 
Not to sound like a dick but if you can wrap food with foil and cook it in a campfire then how many toxins can be on it?

Hmm that's a good point there Welderman, I'm curious as to if anybody knows the answer to that? But maybe the fire cooks off the toxins before it's consumed? Idk i'm not quite sure.

Actually when I have smoked coke off foil I never ever thought about the foil being bad for my health.
 
you cant use a bong because the chemicals getting you high in heroin/opiates in general are water soluble so if you pass the smoke through the water it will get filtered.
 
If you're in the US and have powder, you most likely have #4.

You have to lower its melting point to get it to vaporize well. Otherwise, you'll be destroying your dope burning it. Sure, you might get something, but it's a waste overall.

If you're really into experimenting, look into mixing it with caffeine to make #3.
 
Prep it into a liquid solution like a shot and put the liquid into an e-cig. Not the most efficient way to use, but it works.
Ofcourse, once you have it in a solution you could always plug it...
