I just bought myself a 40x extract from the local head shop. About 2 hours ago I tried it out for the first time and I have to admit I experienced nothing great. A complete high came onto me like I was severely stoned but that's about it. I used a pipe with a regular Bic lighter. Did this keep me from having hallucinations? I have a bubbler which I may use tonight and try keeping the lighter on it longer.
for maximum effects, use a torch lighter and a bong. although, a pipe should have worked, as long as you kept direct flame on the extract the entire time you were inhaling. and of course, you need to hold it in for ~30 seconds. just don't use a torch lighter with a pipe, it makes it WAY too harsh to handle.
Tried it 2 more times since then and still nothing big. The second creating some simple visuals like breathing walls and tiny patterns. Third still having the stoned feeling. I don't know if I'm still doing something wrong or just the kind I bought was bad. I will try again but going to get it somewhere else.
if the walls are breathing, your pretty close. do not expect to suddenly end up in a world of smurs and unicorns. thats not what will happen. try taking a larger hit, and holding in. When its a proper hit, youll suddenly realise that you are fucked beyond all ability to preform regular tasks.
So I found out what the problem is. Apparently the brand Purple Sticky Salvia sells their labels saying 20x, 40x, 60x etc. What they don't tell you is that number represents the amount of salvia in mg instead of the extract. This means instead of what I thought was 40x turned out to be a 10x extract. So my next purchase will have to be 80x mg which will be a 20x extract. Totally confusing for first timers. And I kept thinking to myself why 40x didnt give me a good experience. tldr: Purple Sticky Salvia brand 40x extract isn't really what the label says, rather 40x mg and 10x extract. Buy 80x mg for 20x extract.
i bought some of the 20x purple sticky, it said 80x on the package. i looked it up online because well i wasn't sure at all about smoking 80x.. hahaha. use a bong if you have acess to one. otherwise a pipe should work. remember that holding a hit in really does make a MASSIVE difference. the first hit of salvia i took i held in for about 2 seconds (it was a massive rip out of my bong and i was having trouble keeping it down *coughs*) and i just felt stoned. then after that i took another hit and held it in for like 20 seconds and i don't even remember exhaling. 10x should be strong enough. just hold your hits in for 20+ seconds and keep taking hits until you break through. salvia is incredibly strong. there is nothing that can prepare you.
