also posted in another thread but....
My good friend speaks, as I write for him:
I got a decent amount of jwh-018, I know its legit. I smoked it, as well as others and its definitely a synth cannabinoid. We smoked it off tinfoil like tar heroin and got sufficient effects, as well as in a bowl which works ok. joints work ok.
SO.... I wanted to try to make dippers (or cigarettes infused with...) with jwh-018. I did all my reading and homework. Bought the 100% pure acetone and a pack of smokes.
The jwh-018 powder comes as a clean white powder thats relatively fluffy and fine in consistency. it has an odor, but hard to describe. It almost immediately dissolved in the acetone, leaving one or two grain-of-sand-size insolubles. After making a nice potency solution, I had gently pulled on each cig as each tip was briefly dipped into the solution, and the solution obviously was sucked up and was visible on the cig.
although I worked fast doing this, the solution was evaporating quickly as it was such pure acetone. Hence, the saturation increased. so the first dipped cigarette will very likely be weaker than the last one.
after all was evaporated (remarkably fast), cleaned up and all; we had to have a go. I dont really care for cigarettes anymore, although I used to smoke them (still smoke trees n shit tho), therefore I split a dipped smoke with a friend. this dipper was of medium potency. I am able to get a rough estimate of the potency by telling the color of the residue left on the cigarette.
we split it and really didnt feel anything. I wasnt taking large drags or holding it in at all.
I guess that specific concentration isnt enough dose, isnt efficient enough delivery mechanism, or some unknown variable.
Since I have a lil bit more jwh, I may make another solution with the rest and try to get these cigs worth-while to smoke by dipping them again.
I know this isnt directly related, as making a legal smoking blend by spraying a solution was mentioned; but this relates.
All in all, seems like you really gotta have the proper measuring equipment and know what you're doing.
I'll update as to how the effects of the twice dipped cigs are turn out.
Thanks for the info contributed in this thread!!!
