Hey man thanks for the post you seem knowledgeable on the subject so I hope you don't mind if I ask you about my gear..
my preference is Smoking and I was wondering if you had any more tips on finding out the quality of my gear? Any simple testing I can try?
What method of taking the hit and holding it in etc seems to work best for you? How exactly does your gear look before and after melting it in the pipe?
How much do you put under your tongue? maybe more specific about the taste?
I'm just trying to get a more educated read on how quality my gear is... Does the extreme rush you feel happen after every hit? what kind of time spacing? Does it stop giving you the rush after a certain point on a binge?
Anything you can think of to help me would be greatly appreciated!
Hey man. My cubes of ice are crushed to perfection each little Crystal looking clean almost as white as crack like a shard of Sea salt. When it burns it looks like a puddle of water. On foil it looks like a pile of sugar and when burned looks like a dried piece of glue but thicker. But when my incense burner is cooked it only leaves a small dot or two of black which is the cut... Which shows quality. better shit leaves almost no cut stains. If your incense burner is dirty after then... It is cut as hell. On foil bad shit runs and doesn't crystallize together like good shit.
Before it should either look like a shard of Sea salt uncrushed, a shard of crack that's bigger then usual, if its a few points it should be a bag of little crystals or literally like a big ass Crystal looking rock kind of like ?
As far as taste... It should make you gag for sure in my experience. Basically just put a decent sized Crystal or two.. not really big like smaller than a bead? Just a taste bro enough to dissolve under your tongue you know.. It should make your skin tingle, your tongue tingle, give you the chills, make you want more, make your hair stand up, and make you feel more awake.
When your tasting it it should taste like chemicals i dont know how to explain it.. Like really strong chemicals that make you gag and that you can taste with each hit... but the smoke should be really smooth and in my experience it's like smoking hookah or almost vapor like but thick like cigarettes... It should have a really strong smell if someone were to walk in while you were smoking...
The way in melts in your incense burner is a big indicator. Good stuff melts rather quickly into a puddle and doesn't look brownish/dirty white but doesn't burn quickly and just turns your burner white with frost that is just as good.... Shitty stuff either take forever to melt, or burns so quickly and looks like tannish and flaky .. The taste obviously..
Most of all though.... That first hit should wake you up at the very least if it's fire it should send the rush immediately if you loaded say a 20-50 depending on how you wanna feel ... Bunk stuff just takes forever to kick in, a large amount, burns fast, crumbles like powder, doesn't feel dense, or if it powder... The first hit just has to do something.... That's how you'll know.. it should smell like nothing in my opinion can't really smell it till you smoke it or snort it.. the stronger the scent the better the stuff... The thicker the better. I dose once a day at noon. Everyday. In a 20-30 min time span just getting a few pieces and inhaling huge clouds of smoke and holding it for 5 seconds and letting out through my nose.... Just non stop... Usually load the whole sack at once I love big puddles..
Um the rush it gets stronger until a few more hits and then I get alert.... By the time I smoke a 15-25 alone I am tweaked... My stuff is made with care from this guy each batch... And yes after 6-10 days of a binge I crash for my own safety.. And yes when I smoke everyday I always get tweaked no matter what.... But then again for 30 or so I get a half a g ... Cheap cheap but quality.... That shit is big down here.
