I'm sorry to just hop in here, but there are SO many pages to read...I'm wondering if someone can answer a few of my questions. I really apologize if they have been asked before but they are semi-specific.
I'm supposed to be getting a 10mg sample in the mail. My plan was to dissolve this 10mg in 1ml of iso alcohol, and drop it onto some blotter art I bought as a novelty a few years ago. Will 10mg fit in my 1ml of iso? I've been reading a few pages - is vinegar preferable? its the HCL not freebase.
I did a "dry run" with a 16 strip of my blotter art. I found that 1ml of my "solution" (just the iso) is equal to ~40 drops from my dropper, give or take one or two depending on how close I get to the line. My math says 10,000 / 40 = 250 - I'd much rather have smaller doses like that and work my way up. So, I have that much figured out at least.
I did find however that my blotter is NOT very absorbent. I only dropped 1 drop on each of the 16 hits, and when I lifted it up, it was sitting in a pool of the solution. Obviously this is NOT preferable. Would it be better to just drop it on sugar cubes and do it that way? I was really hoping for the convenient storage of a blotter...but I'll do whatever I have to do I guess. If you guys could maybe suggest something that'd be great - but it looks like a lot of people are having the same trouble as I am.
I'll keep reading this thread, but any help you can offer me for my situation would be MUCH appreciated
