I'm curious about the efficacy of vaporizing a-f, though my trials so far haven't been promising. What I obtained is supposedly the HCl salt - a light orange crystally substance. I have had perfectly good results insufflating eyeballed doses (that I estimate are around 1 mg) for effects that are equivalent to 3-5 mg of oxycodone, so I assume it is of decent purity. I've tried vaporizing/smoking it and it melts quite nicely, but I don't think it is actually vaporizing properly without pyrolizing (burning), because the effects are much weaker than I would expect. So then I took 20 mg and added 4 mL of water to try a freebase conversion but, even after a couple hours, the shit just floats around in there; it seems to have almost no water solubility.
I'm taking the vendor's word that it is indeed the HCL. If a salt isn't water soluble, how does one go about converting to freebase? Does its lack of water solubility indicate that this is just a bad idea as a ROA for this material? Are there some freebase alkaloids that just don't vaporize properly? Just curious. Thanks folks.
