Quick question about NBOMe tabs

[snoop1]

SWIM has come to acquire some 25I NBOMe and 25C NBOMe tabs, dosed at 1mg per tab. Previously they have done upwards of those doses insufflated with bulking powder and achieved a much better psychedelic experience from the powders than the tabs.

My question is would it be possible to get the NBOMe off the tabs and into some snortable form, like would leaving a tab to soak in water then nose the solution have the desired effect, or once it's on the tab it's on the tab for good?

Bulking powder is bad form as it can lead to hot spots, hard to get your two powders homogenous.
You can soak your tabs in .5ml of warm water or so per dose (give it a good long while and stir, hot water bath is a good idea), and then drip the water down your nose - but not so much that it runs down your throat, and that will get you off.

I dose all my 25x-NBOMe tabs intranasally. I don't even bother to extract them off the tab, however. Dissolving in EtOH/Water and insufflating the solution will inevitably cause loss of some of the drug, depending on how long you leave them in the solvent, whether you tear them up, and so on. A much more convenient way to insufflate the NBOMe is simply place the tabs into your nose and leave them there for 30-60 minutes. Having a fair bit of experience dosing NBOMes this way, I have perfected a method that maximizes absorption while minimizing unpleasant side effects(I find the comeup to be very quick and intense, so I stagger the dose... this is personal preference):

-Cut your desired dose up evenly; If you have 1 tab, cut into two half tabs, If you have 1.5 tabs, cut into two half and two quarter tabs, etc.
-Wet your nasal canals. I use saline spray, you can also use a neti pot. This is to prevent bleeding and damage of the tissue from the tabs; I assume it is due to the fact that my tabs are HCl. In my experience insufflating drugs that contain HCl will almost always cause breakdown of sensitive tissue.
-Lightly spritz the tabs with water or liquid to ensure the tab will stay put in your nose. You can use a spray bottle, or simply drip water from the faucet carefully onto the tabs. Do not use too much water! You will lose a considerable amount of NBOMe doing this.
-Place an equal amount of NBOMe tabs in each nostril. Make sure the entire surface area of the tab is touching the skin of your nose. Hold for 15-30 minutes. Once that is completed, flip the tabs over, again making sure the entire surface area is covered and holding for an equal amount of time. Personally, I find the comeup too fast taking my dose all at once. I stagger the dose, placing half my dose and flipping them after 15 minutes then taking them out after 30. Then after an hour or two, I repeat the same process with the second portion of my dose. Although more experienced psychonauts may be able to handle the come up better than me.

So there you go. I find this method much more efficient than dissolving in a solvent and insufflating liquid. Be careful, the comeup is faster and the bioavailability is higher, so the drug will kick in faster and harder but wear off faster than sublingual dosing. I have tried dissolving it in a solvent and insufflating but even with an equal dose every trip I found the dosage to be wildly unpredictable and hit or miss.

^ That's an interesting method. Do you get any funny odor in your nose as you're doing it or after you take them out? The disgusting thing about doing sublingual/buccal NBOMe blotter is the weird bitter taste that lingers for much of the trip, that's why I'm curious. I assume it makes your nasal passages numb too?

OP: For a lot of people 1mg is a pretty high sublingual dose for either substance alone, so you'd probably want to cut that in half at least if you're going to snort it.

No. It is odorless and does not cause a numbing sensation, however if I leave it in too long my nose starts to hurt.

Also, be very careful with those 1mg 25C-NBOMe tabs. 25C is about twice as potent by weight as 25I, so one 25C tab would be roughly equal to 2mg of 25I (a little less actually). I'd say the maximum comfortable dose for 25I is 1.5mg and the max comfortable dose for 25C is around 900ug-1mg. And's thats the high end of the spectrum. My normal dose is 1mg 25I and 600ug 25C.

^ listen to the dose advice above. If both 25c and 25i blotters are dosed at 1mg then it's likely that the person laying the blotter had no idea what they were doing. I would proceed with caution for this reason alone.

You can trip just as strongly from buccal administration of a blotter as from snorting a powder. It requires a bit of effort though. Place between your inside lip and upper gum (not under your tongue) and leave it there for 40 minutes. Try as hard as possible not to swallow your saliva in that time.

Don't say SWIM on this forum, it is against the rules:

Reminder: SWIMming is discouraged forbidden. Replacing "I" with "SWIM" has not, to my knowledge, ever been accepted in a court of law as a defense against a statement that would otherwise be incriminating. All it does is make you sound foolish. 90% of the time, people would be fine saying "I" instead, and the other 10% of the time they're saying something they should never admit to on a public website like that, SWIM be damned. The best way to stay safe is to stick to hypothetical questions and avoid mentioning any illegal actions you have taken, are taking or plan to take.
Update: this guideline is now a general Bluelight forum rule, so using "SWIM" phrasing or other third person referrals to yourself as an attempt to avoid self-incrimination is unacceptable.

And indeed not every NBOMe compound is the same and they require different dosages. So always start low, something you should do with every batch anyway but extra if people are overdosing hits.

You can extract the drug from blotters (tabs) using a solvent - alcohol would work, water as well but certainly not preferred, there are some other somewhat polar options as well - you just soak the blotter in the solvent, strain it, then dry it and scrape the residue. If you add a solid carrier powder, namely something inert you can snort, before doing the drying step... you make it a lot easier since it is very hard to recover mere micrograms or milligrams of product.

Be very careful, these are highly potent and potentially dangerous compounds.
