I have always found oxy to be more moreish than other oral opiates. also the fact that oxy can be snorted doesn't help with that. I took heroin for pain and recreation for years, never shot only smoked and waterlined (and tried plugging but sticking things in my butt doesn't work, Id run out of anal cavity space before I caught a buzz). One of the reasons I liked snorting it was because some of the dope would drip into my stomach and turn into morphine (which settles the hell out of my tummy). When I tried giving up smoking and sniffing because mexi-tar is a caustic caustic substance, eating it didn't come close to even making me feel better muchless get me high. whats funny is shortly after I was prescribed instant release morphine tablets and they worked just fine (had to take a bunch but thats just my tolly). I recently had my prescription switched to oxy from morphine because the oral bioavailability difference is so extreme that oxy works Way better orally in the same dosage as morphine (YMMV). And I can snort my oxy if i need to.
Heroin "Pills" as far as i understand, are just a regional method of packaging powdered heroin like balloons on the west coast or stamp bags on the east. A "pill" is not a standardized dose, or even a standardized weight from dealer to dealer. The word "pill" is just a synonym for "bag" in this circumstance.
ALSO: why use words/phrases like "tempt" and " might not be able to put it down" in an attempt to dissuade someone from trying heroin. The whole "its so good don't even try it once" thing creates this super mythological status for heroin that totally makes people feel like their missing out on something. This is misleading, because they're not. What most people are talking about being "too good" is IV use, heroin is really just an opiate. Furthermore, virtually any drug via IV use could come with the same warnings, there's not some magical property of heroin that makes it better to shoot or snort than other drugs. Smoking it, wasteful as it is, has a special place in my heart simply because I really like to smoke things, its relaxing, and since i can't just stroll into the local opium den, there's something appealing about chasing the dragon simply by being the only smokeable opiate that's readily accessible.
SpeedyB': all that said, since you seem to like opiates, there's no reason not to rotate up your pills a bit- try oral morphine sulfate pills: they're usually cheaper than oxy because people can't snort em and when I first tried MS pills after being on oxy and vic and codeine everyday, it was like a whole different drug. It was my all time favorite opiate for a very long time. Recently, after months on the stuff and years alternating between morphine and heroin, switching back to oxycodone had that same "oh this is whats been missing" feeling that I had when i initially switched from the XX-codones to morph/heroin.
