Vaporization of 2-FMA

[RedBaron]

Hi, I read on drugs-forum that when smoking 2-fma, you add a drop of water to the powder and "cook it lightly" to vape it. I've done this, and it has worked to some effect (I assume you want to avoid the water boiling).
But can someone explain why this would be preferable to just vaporizing the powder without adding water, and only applying heat to the dry powder?
Edit: I'm guessing that the water attracts the heat and helps the 2-FMA not burn up as easily, but I'm not an expert in this type of thing. Also, I am using a freebase pipe, not chasing off foil, and it seems to work well, lots of vapor comes up after the water is gone, but I don't know why the water is needed in the first place.

I can't see any reason as to why you would add water, just heat it gentlier and vape away.

I figured as much, I tried both ways, with effect, but I was not sure if the h2o heating somehow changed the structure to easier heating (like freebase?)... I'm not exactly a chemistry expert...

I'll exclude the water in future vape sessions, as it adds more time to to the process.

How would you say the high compares with snorting/oral dosing?

I might the only different with snorting is the quicker on set and slightly lower dose needed. Still, curious to try vaping to see how it effects the initial wave of euphoria..
