Opioids Plugging vs Oral - few questions

Hey all, I'm just looking for opinions. I used to always swallow my opiates until one day I discovered plugging. Back when 20mg of hydrocodone wouldn't do much, I tried plugging and it gave a stronger effect than I ever expected. Since then, I almost exclusively have plugged them.

Some times I notice that a plugged dose doesn't work very well, while other times it will work great. What varying conditions do you guys notice result in a plugged dose not absorbing well? For example a 30mg plugged dose at the end of a day AFTER two doses of kratom over the course of the day have already come and gone proved very effective. A few days later, in the MORNING before any other drugs whatsoever, a 40mg plugged dose didn't seem to do a thing. Besides having to poop, what could cause a dose to not work when plugged?

Plugging is supposed to be more effective than oral, but I've noticed that sometimes my oral doses will be way stronger than a plugged dose. Does anyone else find plugging opiates to be hit or miss?

Lastly, I occasionally feel like my plugged dose might not fully absorb right away, and I have to re-saturate it later on, which then results in it working as expected. Is this common?


Thanks for any replies. I'm just curious because I don't often buy painkillers and can't really afford to experiment with various ROA's.
 
Decided to have another experiment. I drank a significant amount of grapefruit juice, over the course of an hour or so, dissolved 40mg hydrocodone into water, and then just pounded back the milky solution on a relatively empty stomach. The resulting opiate experience was the strongest, longest lasting, and most satisfying high I've had in a very, very long time. This was after an entire weekend of plugging the same amount to varying results, none of which as good as this though.

Any idea what gives?
