Given all the comparisons, with people seeming to vastly prefer 6-APB to 5-APB, I was expecting a bit of a disappointment tonight when I dosed 110mg of 5-APB.
Thankfully I'm pleased that I was wrong :D
They're both quite different.
The euphoria on 6-APB was overwhelming (in a good way of course) and very clean and strong, with quite a sudden drop after the peak where I suddenly started longing to be back there and feeling a little down that I knew I'd be awake for the next several hours without feeling quite as good as I had before.
5-APB didn't quite have that same euphoric push, if I was just sitting around, I almost felt sober at times, but.. the moment touch, good music, and talking came into the equation - bang, the euphoria came in grand rushes like 6-APB. I agree about this one feeling quite messy - while 6-APB had visuals it felt like I was on a straight stimulant rather than a psychedelic, but with 5-APB I had the opposite, no visuals but a lot of the time I felt like I was tripping, and a few times I really zoned out and completely forgot what I was doing. My favourite part of the night though is that the comedown was so gradual, no big drop off like 6-APB, it's 9 and a half hours since I dosed and I still feel great, slooooowly returning to baseline, with music and cigarettes giving me flashes back to the peak :D
I feel like 6-APB wins in pure euphoria, but 5-APB wins in the tactile department for sure for me.
Hopefully I'll be able to write up a proper trip report later. I think I'm going to put on a film until I pass out
For reference, in terms of overall strength, 110mg 5-APB feels a bit stronger than my experience with 150mg 6-APB, but nowhere near the strength of 250mg. Maybe ~165-175 or so if I were to hazard a guess.
