hey guys i got some 6apb powder on the way over from a reputable UK vendor myself. i was wondering how to go about taking it when it arrives? take 1-2mg as an allergy test? i was gonna dissolve it in water or ethanol so i can more accurately know the mg's.. how long do you wait after allergy test to take your dose? 1 or 2hrs? how much should i take if the allergy test goes okay? i was thinking 45mg, wait an hour, then take 100mg, wait an hour and if i need top off with 50-100mg. does this sound logical??
First of all, you should invest in a digital mg range scale. These things are cheap nowadays, I got mine for 30€ and change. If you have the money for importing RCs, you should be able to easily afford one. It's really essential, even reputable vendors can make mistakes when weighing substances, you can never be sure to receive the exact amount you ordered. This is a reason why even liquid dosing is little better than eyeballing a dose.
Please don't get a wrong impression, and sorry for the lecture, but this is something you'll really need, maybe not necessarily for 6-APB, but in other research fields, where active doses are >10mg.
Ask anybody who's into researching chems, it's a thing you wouldn't want to miss once you bought one, and a great investment for small money.
For allergy testing, a waiting period of half an hour after ingesting a tiny amount (1 or 2mg) should be more than enough to determine whether you're allergic or not, the symptoms will set in rapidly and be very noticeable if you're strongly allergic, which is the main concern.
If you only detect typical allergy signs (runny nose, rashes, sneezing etc.) after half an hour, you may have a small allergy, but that could most likely be countered with any OTC anti-histamine (I use diphenhydramine/DPH, works like a charm). No need to abstain from your experiment in this case, if you aren't bothered by a bit of unpleasantness, you can and should leave out the anti-allergic med to prevent unforeseen interactions. At least that's my take on it, feel free to correct me, as I'm relatively inexperienced regarding RCs.
Come Friday, I'm going to go with Albion's dosing method, sounds very reasonable if you want to get full effects. Also proven to work, as he seems to know 6-APB quite well.
