Setting: My apartment, which is decked out with over 10,000 glow in the dark stars all through the living room and hall way, liquid wall lights and very pleasant, chill electronic music, very conducive for tripping. I had planned on it just being myself and a friend tripping, but it ended up being 15 other loud drunks, with tons of drama accompanying them (as always). This did not effect the trip in a real negative way, as will be explained later.

Amount: 9mg 2C-E with 13mg 2C-I at the 45 minute mark after ingestion of 2C-E. My friend took 12mg 2C-I, since it was her first psychedelic experience.

Reason for combining: 2C-I always seems a bit lacking when it comes to introspective thinking,which I think is mostly due to the stimulant effects. I find 2C-I very good for analyzing human behaviour though. 2C-E is very introspective but lacks any real positive push to it. While the 2C-I physical effects are very stimulative, the 2C-E effects are sedative (on the body). I was hoping the physical effects would meet somewhere in the middle and I would be able to relax. The two seemed like they would accompany each other well. I was hoping for a strong 2C-E-like trip with the euphoria of 2C-I.

9.45 p.m. : Ingested the 2C-E so that it would have time to build up before I took the 2C-I. I planned this so the peaks would coincide, atleast somewhat. I had eaten some pancakes for breakfast about 12 hours ago, along with a bit of bread 3 hours before ingestion of the 2C-E.

10.30 p.m. : Not really feeling any effects of the 2C-E yet, which I expected because I have a somewhat higher tolerance to 2C-E than others. I took 13mg of 2C-I with some tea to wash it down.

11.00 p.m. : Feeling the alerts of the 2C-I...crawling images in the back of my mind. Tons of drunks are around me but they are all friends of mine so the environment is not too uncomfortable. I am taking concern that this will send me into an angy trip, but try to prevent any of those thoughts from taking over my mind.

11.30 p.m.: Wow..I feel extremely euphoric now, much more than with just 2C-I. The body sensations are not like either 2C-I or 2C-E...much more pleasant than either. The walls are starting to breath and I am having a fun time talking with my friend about how impulse driven and moronic the drunks are acting. It is actually quite humerous ananylzing these idiots.

12.30a.m.: The 2C-E must have started to kick in as well because the visuals are manifested to a level I never even fathomed. When I turn the liquid lights on (when the drunks don't complain about it and are outside smoking) I can see the light particles emitting from the mechanism producing the light. I feel like I am in a nebula with all the stars and actually manage to forget myself and feel like a comet flying through the distant stars. Very surreal and beautiful.

1.00 a.m.: I cannot even put into words the sense of wonder and beauty going through my mind. I can only imagine how deep this would take me were it not for the drama occurring all around me. I am able to put them in the background and just let my mind guide me.

3.00 a.m. The effects feel like they are just now peaking (seemed to take a while) and I have lost all sense of time. The next 3 hours are spent with my eyes closed getting lost in my own head. This is definately one of the most intense experiences I have had, but intense in a very positive way.

6.30 a.m.: The effects are starting to wear down, although everything still has a very magnificent feel to it. Colours illuminate in ways I never fathomed to comprehend. It is like my visual perception of colour went up 1000%.

9.00 a.m. : Visuals are pretty much worn down, and I am able to catch about 2 hours of sleep.

11.00 a.m.: I awake feeling like I just had obtained 12 hours of great sleep. I feel more refreshed right now (3.30 pm next day) then I ever have after any sort of experience like this.


Ending notes: I feel like the synergy between these two chemicals was perfect. I was skeptical at first, considering the fact that 2C-I rarely plays well with anything else in the stomach, especially other psychoactives. I proved myself wrong. All I can say is that the experience I obtained from combining these two was more intense and definately more pleasant than either alone. There was approximately 5 to 10 minutes of stomach discomfort a couple of times a few hours into the experience, but it did not manifest to anything too serious.


Thanks for reading this! I look forward to trying it again in a better atmosphere sometime soon.
 
Just a quick update...

It is now Sunday (dosed friday night) and my upper back is kind of sore. Aside from this, I feel fine. This could be from going out last night on my friends birthday with less than 2 hours of sleep the night before under my belt.

There are a couple of really odd visuals I noticed during the trip that I forgot to mention in the original report. I noticed that when I closed one eye, the visuals intensified signifcantly. That happened with each eye, and it seemed like the visuals actually changed from eye to eye. When I closed one eye, then press the bottom of my other eye, I noticed a strange bright light in the top of my field of vision. It was extremely bright, but did not illuminate anything. The light was completely independent of anything in my room, so it was not simply a manipulation of what was already there. This happened with both of my eyes.

Thanks for reading!
 
An okay setting, anyway... I probably wouldn't have been comfortable in it though. Good old drunks...

Slippy, I know it's been a while, but do you have any new thoughts on the experience? Also, how much of each substance (2C-I and 2C-E) would you usually take alone? I'd like to try this combo soon, but I'm pretty sensitive to 2C-E especially so I want to get a frame of reference for dosing.
 
Xorkoth:

Yes I actually do have more input that you might find useful, and another experience with this combo as well.

First I'll describe my second experience briefly (and will probably have a trip report up by the end of the week.) I had a much better setting this time around, with a more rave atmosphere set up when I first took the substances. This was fine because I wanted a better feel for how this played out with music..I produce a lot of electronic music and this is a prime fascination of mine (psychedelics vs music).

I decided to throw down both chemicals at the same time and this time dosed 12.5mg 2C-I with 16mg 2C-E. The 2C-E definately acted to potentiate the 2C-I... the euphoria matched that of MDA while I was dancing and throwing glowsticks around. The longer I danced, the harder the visuals kicked in and eventually after about a half hour of straight dancing I would be forced to sit down because it literally felt as though the carpeted floor I was dancing on was a water-bed and I was sinking in with every step. The combo had a speedy-ish push to it that made it fun to dance and talk.

Now something to apply to both trips...

This combo seems to make it hard to achieve those mystical +4's that are obtainable with 2C-E, if not impossible. Now..this is not a bad thing, but it definately caused me to realize why 2C-E allows you to reach such a transcendental state. 2C-I seems to be one of those psychedelics that causes your mind to shoot from thought to thought quickly and it is kind of hard to hold focus (atleast for me). 2C-E makes it easy to hold your focus on one subject and this allows for one to ponder issues a bit more. The 2C-I definately overwhelms the 2C-E in the mental department, but as far as visuals go...all I can is WWWOOOOOOWWWW8o !!!!! The visuals collapsed and morphed into each other like I have never experienced before.... and if there is anything this combination should be known for it is the visuals (even though I consider visuals to take a backseat while tripping).

If you decide to combine these two, go into it with more of a notion to expect an enchanced 2C-I trip, minus the nervous energy going over 20mg 2C-I will give you. You might not learn anything too astounding, but you will definately have some fun and deep connections with those around you.

Note: I would not say that taking these two together alone would be a wise move. I found myself grateful to have mates around to converse with because I was DEFINATELY in a talking mood! I, however, enjoy 2C-E best alone.
 
I'm sorry bud, I forgot to note how much of each I take alone...

2C-I: Moderate dose for me: 18mg
High dose for me:23mg

2C-E: Moderate dose for me: 18mg
High dose for me: 23-25mg


Cripes... I never noticed the correlation till I typed this:)
