You certainly won't go too deep at that dose. Couldn't hurt, better to dip your toes in first than jump into the deep end.
Nice, I'm glad you enjoyed it. My favorite dose is around 30mg. I'm a bit of a hardhead, but I bet you'll like it a lot more at a higher dose. If 5mg did something substantial for you, you're likely very sensitive to make sure to work up slowly.
For me 30mg is a fun night with friends, a strong trip but purely recreational. This particular substance is highly recreational, it has a lot more euphoria and laughter to it than most tryptamines.

LSD - 125-250ug (but I generally use ALD-52 which is slightly smoother, but I know the dose for sure - it's 2 hits, but it's rare to find street hits as strong as 125ug), or mushrooms... up to 3.5 grams. Mushrooms produce a lot more anxiety, or at least they're much more prone to it, than 4-AcO-MiPT or LSD.
So, if I understand you correctly, the Pharmacokinetics is different (at least a bit), but the Pharmacodynamics is identical? Do you think that 4-AcO-substituted tryptamines directly dock on some brain receptors, or only their 4-HO-counterparts do?It seems like some people find the 4-AcO and 4-HO tryptamines to be indistinguishable, but most find at least some differences, with some people finding them distinct enough to be able to tell apart in a blind test. My belief is that it has to do with individual metabolic factors, and that the 4-AcO is broken down in vivo to its corresponding 4-HO, but that the 4-AcO itself is also able to pass the BBB, so that the differences in the way people react to them is based on how quickly they break it down.
For me, I find that the 4-AcO is different, it lasts a little longer and is smoother/more sparkly. The difference seems to be greatest with 4-AcO/HO-DMT for me, as I find those to be very different drugs (and I've tried pure 4-HO-DMT a few times).
This is exciting to me! I already have 4-AcO-DMT in my collection, but never taken it. This makes me eager to make it the next 4-substituted tryptamine to try. What I know from oral communication by a fellow psychonaut from my town: if one has experienced the machine elves from smoking DMT, they also appear after eating Psilocybin-containing mushrooms. Unfortunately, I have never met entities while being on tryptamines yet, but, very recently while on a high dose of 3-HO-PCP.4-AcO-DMT begins exactly like an oral smoked DMT experience... it has that same high-frequecncy buzzing, same sort of mind state, same style of visuals... then after the peak it feels almost exactly like mushrooms. But for some people, they report it being indistinguishable from mushrooms.
That's correct, it's highly water soluble, and once it's dissolved, it will be evenly distributed. That's the whole reasoning behind using liquid measurement for really potent chems (and why you always see LSD in liquid form or on blotters/etc).
No question is stupid to ask if you're trying to be careful with drugs.
I assume you're planning to dose a few people and want to split the dose evenly? That'll work just fine. But a word of warning, if you're planning to store some of the doses, tryptamines break down rather quickly when they're dissolved in liquid. So if you're trying to keep it around for a while, I wouldn't do this. If you are trying to store it and this is just the way you're using to ensure you dose 25mg accurately, and you don't have a scale, I would recommend using a small amount of alcohol (like vodka or something), or at the VERY LEAST distilled water, and then freezing the unused doses, in the liquid (if you use vodka, it won't freeze but store it in the freezer). The alcohol will prevent it from being contaminated by microorganisms. The freezer will make it take longer to break down. You should only bother with this if you're not trying to consume it all right away. Also it's best to use a smaller amount of liquid than a cup full, if possible. 100mg of it will dissolve into a very small amount of water or alcohol. Again, i you're consuming it all immediately, that also doesn't matter. The reason I suggest a small amount is that if you use alcohol, which you should, you won't need to drink a significant amount of alcohol when you dose it.
As an aside, if you can afford drugs you can afford an AWS Gemini-20 milligram scale from amazon, they're under $30, and then you'll always be able to accurately dose. This particular model is pretty good, with an error of +/-2mg. It's all I've ever used

Nice, yeah they can be kind of a pain. What I noticed makes them read more accurately is to tare it with nothing on it, then put the tray on and note how many milligrams. Then put the drug in the tray and take note of what it weighs then, and subtract. For some reason these scales read more accurately when they're in the middle of their range. So if the tray weighs 2234mg, decide you want 25mg, then put powder on there until the scale reads 2259mg.
