Changa: A smoking blend containing Ayahuasca and other herbs

Migrated topic.
Anyone have any insight as to using a fan during the evap process? Is it better to let the leaf sit in the ISO for an extended saturation process rather than greatly speedup that process with a fan?

I think the leaf also has to saturate and if you use a fan that might be less effective. Also using a fan on such a chemical may be a bit unhealthy in a closed room / office.

Perhaps a soaking period followed by fan-assisted evaporation would be optimal, then? Definitely evaporate in a well-ventilated area, whichever way one chooses to go.

Yeah, that's basically where i landed. It soaked for about 5 hours with continuous stirring and then the fan evaporated it rather quickly. It's curing now and I'll be able to test my first changa batch over the weekend. I added my caapi vine vodka extraction (that sat for a month) to the ISO along with 1.5g spice and added a botanical mix of leaf to soak it up. It was a lot of work—especially because of the oddly-behaving hetpane that messed up a bunch of batches—as well as my own inclination to want to improve and perfect on processes which, in this case, due to lack of understanding, resulted in a fair share of screw-ups. Anyway, sometimes that's what learning looks like. It ain't always pretty :)
