Smoking High-Quality Crystal - Results Not What I Expected? (methamphetamine)

[untweaked]

For several months now I've had access to very high quality methamphetamine crystals. They are almost perfectly clear with a white tint, split perfectly into smaller crystals, and my hookup's big bag usually has giant perfect 5-10g looking rocks of crystal which leads me to believe it's lightly cut, if at all. I've been buying 100mg bags and snorting it occasionally, usually in 10-25mg lines with no redosing, and have gotten effects very similar to snorting Adderall or Dexedrine but with an overlaid sense of calmness.

Recently I tried smoking some on foil, and while it seems to be working (at least to some extent), the results have been unexpected for the most part. I fold the foil twice to prevent holes from burning through, stick a chunk of ice in the crease, and sweep the lighter underneath. My lung capacity is pretty average as far as I can tell, and it takes me a good 4-6 lungfuls and several minutes to finish a ~5-10mg piece. I was expecting the high to be like that of snorting the drug, but with more of a rushing effect and possibly an altered duration of effect. Each time I've tried it, here's what has happened:

- I blow out massive lungfuls of smoke/vapor that seem to indicate a good hit.
- I feel no rush whatsoever, even from really effective tokes.
- The high is nothing like snorting ice, it is very discrete (not so great) and even less jittery (which is legit) and still keeps me awake, albeit in a less physically stimulated way.
- I get immediate cravings to do more and try and achieve the high I've heard so much about.

Is this normal for someone new to this ROA? Are there any tips anyone could offer on getting fatter hits or bettering my technique? Thanks a lot.

Hi there,

Meth is not common in the UK so I'm not the best person to answer this but hopefully someone can - have added "methamphetamine" to your thread title for clarity.

Obvious question is are you sure you are vaping it not burning it? Chasing things off foil can be a tricky art to master.

I have the same experience with this crank I've been trying to smoke off foil. But then I figured, what the hell, it's probably some low grade crank so I never bothered to try it again. Still have half a g in a little hiding spot in my dresser drawer that I haven't touched in months haha.
Maybe it's better to smoke it out of a pipe if it's good crystal. I've always heard smoking off foil isn't the best technique when it comes to that drug.

chasing it on foil is a very tricky technique to master, like you said you dont do it right it will burn a hole in it. let it slide up and down the crease and smoke the end not right where the ice is. if you can get a glass pipe to do it, much more effective, you wont waste it, just keep twisting it around. just use a straw to scoop up a few crystals and tap it down in the bulb, dont touch it with your fingers or it may stick to the stem and get stuck. good luck

i dont do uppers no more cuz i burnt myself out on them.. i used so much, i HATE how everything smells like dope when you been doing it for a day.. but foil sucks but i was more addicted to actually smoking it than the high.. i was fascintated by bombing the pirexx out and blowing out that thick ass cloud, so what im saying is you might be the same, even tho your high you'll want to hit it cuz its fun i guess

Invest in a crack/meth pipe. They're cheap, they work way better, and inhaling vaporized foil is pretty bad for you. I think if you'll find you get more out of less if you upgrade to a proper pipe.

I heard that high quality crank was a light blue color.

meth amphetamine has a rather high vaporization temperature, thus it is extremely difficult and ineffective to smoke off foil, without just burning the sh*t out of it, or not getting it hot enough to vape.

That is why a glass pipe or bulb is key, because you can effectively kinda twirl it back and forth to get it to the right heat without just burning it, so you can find the key vape point.

someone's watched to much breaking bad

this is false, pure meth should be clear crystals.

It's strange that you're getting little effect from smoking, while it's working when you snort. Smoking off foil is not the most efficient way, but if the stuff is high quality, it should still work well enough for you to get a distinct high. Have you tried snorting this particular batch? Perhaps this isn't as high quality as other lots you've been getting. There are many cuts for meth that can look/taste/burn almost identically to the real thing, so it can be very hard to discern the purity of your stuff.

I agree with everyone else who says get a crackie.
