Opioids Questions about fentanyl patches

[Stoned Sour]

Let me start off by saying I've never done fentanyl before, but I have a pretty good tolerance to opiates.
I usually take anywhere between 40-80mg of hydrocodone/oxycodone most days & snort 15-30mg of oxymorphone a few times a month or whenever I can get a hold of them.
With that said somebody gave me a couple 25mcg/per hour fentanyl patches mylan brand & wanted to try them.
Having read about them & knowing the dangers I was still cautious even though I have a tolerance to opiates.

Anyways I cut them in to 3 strips & i've been chewing on a strip for an hour & I really don't feel anything.
So I have a few questions
1) How long does it usually take to start working?
2) How long do you chew on it for?
3) Is redosing ok & how long should I wait?
4) What is a 25mcg equivelant to of hydrocodone or oxymorphone if I chewed the whole thing? (which I don't plan on doing just curious)

I want to take some more, but i'm hesitant because I know nothing about them & knowing the potential dangers.
Thanks

here is the opioid conversion chart.

you've got a fairly high tolerance so 25 ug won't probably do much I think, and even if they did you'd be disappointed by the effects.

still, much better to play it safe with such a powerful opiate.

yeah I kinda figured I wouldn't feel it much, but I was still being cautious.
I went ahead & started on another strip & starting to feel a little bit of a warm sensation but nothing else.
so I guess I could chew a whole 25mcg strip & be ok, oh well at least it was given to me lol.
anyways thanks for the conversion chart... also one more thing do you know how long I should chew on them?

honestly I don't know but since fent has a low duration iirc it shouldn't take a lot to absorb.
