Got my a-PHP in the other day and didn't get a chance to give it a shot until today. I would like to give a shout out to my block's postal worker, without you none of this would be possible
Almost my entire purchase came as one giant rock. Never seen a rock that big before. Very light (I mean very very) orangish/pinkish colored crystal rocks. I have never seen a PVP batch with that tint before, but it resembled a-PVP in all other physical regards besides tint/shade. I will base a lot of my comparisons on a-PVP which I have the most experience with and which is one of my favorite chemicals. I've gandered with 3-4 doses so far today ~15-20, maybe a tad bit less seems about 1 dose for me. Although when my actual GOOD scale gets back to my from a friend I can give a more accurate dose amount.
These are just my basic first impressions thus far after allergy testing the product of course:
-Chemically is melts and vapes better than a-PVP and much better than the MDPV I have tried. However it takes about double the time for anything to start vaporizing and therefore taking big sized hits means sucking in almost twice as long as you are used to.
-Tastes extremely similar to a-PVP, nearly identical. Melts similar, although doesn't trail quite as nicely, and personally in this one and only instance I have found the PV chems to work much better with foil for vaping.
-Vapor is extremely more harsh than anything else I have ever vaped. Usually after a PVP stint lasting 2-3 days my lungs start to ache a bit and I can feel the abuse they are taking. This stuff produced that same effect after 4 hits. By the end of the day when I was ready to go to bed my lungs felt blacker than Wesley Snipes after a vacation to the Bahamas.
-Hunger is DECREASED more than with both a-PVP and MDPV but once you set the drug down, hunger comes back much quicker in comparison. Along with that, stomach discomfort seems increased a bit compared to the others. Stomach discomfort subsides slowly, and is a bit annoying to say the least. Usually any discomfort I get from ``
-Not much of a "rush" (for me at least), and any rush I did manage to capture was considerably less than with a-PVP. Comparable [or less than] an MDPV rush.
-Takes a tad bit longer than a-PVP to really start to set in, but quicker than MDPV. It took about 3 minutes for a "good" high to be noticeable, and about 7-8 for it to seems strong and peak-like.
-Definitely less potent per MG. Stimulation-wise I would say 10mg a-PVP == ~15+mg a-PHP
-Stimulating but not as tweaky a-PVP, especially at first. Keep in mind that some of us prefer the tweaky kind of stimulation. I didn't buy this stuff to study or work on it. I bought it for fun. After about 10 minutes when it's in full effect it certainly gets more tweaky, but still doesn't quite top out as high as a-PVP does in that regard.
-More head-high thrown in than a-PVP.
-A bit less dry mouth than with a-PVP.
-I felt it was heavier on my heart than the other two PV's. Take that as you will however, I have been sober (besides a beer here and there) for about 15 days and I could be physically bias at the moment.
-Sex drive mildly increased, less than both PVP and MDPV. I would place it similar to 2-FMA, maybe even a bit less. Although I will note that so far all PxP sex drive is much more carnal and animalistic than the sex drive I get from amphetamines or even cathinones.
-Creativity boost seems the same as a-PVP, and less than MDPV. MDPV definitely gets my musical writing juices flowing considerably stronger than its non-MD bridged counter parts.
-Anxiety per dose equal to a-PVP
-Paranoia per dose the same as a-PVP. Get to paranoid levels with fewer doses (keeping in mind I'm only 3-4 deep). Will report on benzo's and their effect later, I wanted to try aPHP vanilla first.
-Euphoria definitely less than a-PVP, even MDPV I would say at the moment. Still euphoric I guess, but its much more subtle than I would have hoped.
-Comedown was less crappy than a-PVP, and when I was away from the drug for 5+ hours with some friends jamming some music, I didn't become as irritable or fiendish as I did with a-PVP in the same situation. THAT SAID: it still has a shitty fucking comedown. Please understand this, it has a crappy come down, just not quite as crappy as PVP.
I'll report one more time probably in a day or so once I got a better feel for the chem. I wanted to write a first impression post because first impressions (especially after a sobriety period) can always end up being deceiving and I wanted you guys to see any differences between the two write-ups as well as just have the information at hand to reference.
Update:
After a half a days worth of messing with this chem (vaping only) nothing I said above has really changed. As far as a "retrospective" thus far I would say.... [keeping in mind that its definitely possible I had a crap batch]
I can see why this would be considered the first go-to as an a-PVP replacement, and I can definitely see how a few people could prefer it over the other PVs, or say it has less come down. It's similar to a-PVP in a lot of respects, but doesn't have the same amount euphoria or rush. The "good" effects don't last as long as PV, and the residual seems the same. I personally found it actually a bit more paranoia inducing, although getting sleep and dealing with the comedown are a bit easier if you actually have the intention of not dosing again. a-PVP definitely has more of a "fuck it let's break shit!" mentality than this however, which I guess is a good thing?
I much prefer a-PVP, but I would settle for this if need be I guess. I don't plan on getting anymore in the future, and remember to treat your lungs well, this stuff will make them ache!
Peace.
