Has anyone else experienced this?
I just smoked it for the first time after extracting from MHRB using Cyb's tek. The crystals were very clear/white as opposed to yellowish, probably because I didn't apply quite as much heat during the process, resulting in a slightly purer product albeit lower yield.
Anyway, I used a glass VG for my first time with the liquid pad. The pads sold by VG are slightly too small for their own pipe, so you have to flatten them out a bit in order to get a tight fit. I loaded 20mg directly onto the pad and reapplied the glass bushing with ceramic filter. I did not use any additional screens - just the one that comes pre-loaded in the pipe.
I used a torch lighter and held the the visible part of the flame about 1-1.5 inches from the ceramic filter for a few seconds. Vapor started to form in the pipe and I inhaled while still applying the flame to the filter. It was so harsh that I couldn't hold it in my lungs for more than a couple of seconds. I exhaled, coughed, and set the pipe and lighter back onto the table. I felt like I was being launched into space while melting into my chair, but I was quickly distracted by the harsh feeling in my throat and the difficulty I was having swallowing, so I couldn't bring myself to take another hit. The visuals were mild and lasted only about 30 seconds when my eyes were closed (very faint blue/purplish symmetrical swirls). The entire experience lasted only about 4 minutes.
Do you think I burned the product or should I have forced myself to take another hit? Should I use a bic instead of a torch lighter? Or maybe there was too much lye in the final product?
