Hey everybody,
Sorry for asking these questions, too many posts are there on this, mostly none of them are resolved.
As for enriching caapi, which is it better
1. To soak the caapi leaves in IPA/Ethyl Alcohol for a month and strain the alcohol(alkaloid enriched alcohol) over 1 gram of caapi leaf ( to get alkaloids extracted from 10 gram caapi onto 1 gram leaf).
2. Boiling 10 gram caapi leaves in water followed by reducing that quantity and finally adding that water into 1 gram leaf followed by evaporation.
Does it really take a month for all the alkaloids to be extracted into the alcohol or will a 3x boiling do it ?
And as for changa,which is better ?
1. Dissolving extracted harmala alkaloids in alcohol with the spice and then infusing that alcohol ( enriched with spice and harmala) onto 1 gram caapi leaves.
2. Infusing 1 gram leaves into resin from 10x caapi leaf (using one of the above enriching method), followed by dissolving spice in alcohol and then letting the 1 gram enriched leaves absorb this alcohol.
Finally,which is smoother to smoke and easier to hold in?
1. Water enhanced caapi and spice.
2. Alcohol enhanced caapi and spice.
3. Harmala alkaloid, spice and caapi leaves ?]
