First Changa Blend! Any suggestions?

[jbudman]

Hello, so today I made my first batch of Changa!

The blend I used is as follows:

Herbs:
peppermint (50mg), passionflower (150mg), mullein (200mg)

Spices:
Acacia spice (400mg)
Harmaline Freebase (110mg)


First I dissolved the 110mg of Harmaline freebase into 91% ISO Alcohol, then I added the 400mg of spice to the same ISO Alcohol. I only used enough alcohol to cover the herbs. Next I dumped the alcohol over the herbs, which were sitting in the bottom of a shotglass. I'm hoping that the alcohol will be evaporated within the week so I can try this blend out

Does anyone have any suggestions to add, or change about this blend?
I have plenty of Acacia spice at my disposal, and today I picked up the following herbs:
Mullein, Passionflower, Mugwort, Damiana, peppermint, lavender, sage.

I think it is fine as you have made it. :thumb_up:

Just be sure that the IPA has evaporated COMPLETELY and there is no smell
of it at all on your blend.

So today I made a few more batches of changa! Sadly someone mistakenly dumped out the other changa I was waiting on thinking it was a dirty shot glass.. Needless to say, I went and grabbed a couple tiny jars so that won't happen again.

Batch #1 (~1g total weight)

Herbs:
200mg Wild Lettuce
100mg Valerian Root
100mg Sage
100mg Mullein

Extracts:
500mg Acacia Spice
100mg Harmaline Freebase

1:1/Spice:Leaf
5:1/Spice:Harmaline


Batch #2 (~2g total weight)

Herbs:
200mg Sage
100mg Peppermint
300mg Mullein
100mg Valerian Root
100mg Lavendar
200mg Mugwort

Extracts:
1g Acacia Spice
100mg Harmaline Freebase
100mg Harmala Alkaloids from Rue

1:1/Spice:Lead
5:1/Spice:Harmaline


To make the changa, I used room temperature 91% ISO (is this okay?), and dissolved the Harmalas as much as I could, then added the spice, which dissolved fairly easy. I then added the mixture of herbs and stirred it up so all the leaves were soaking evenly. In 1 jar, there is about 1/4 inch of ISO above the herbs, and in the other jar there was JUST enough ISO to cover the herbs. Does it matter?
I am hoping that I am using enough Harmalas in these mixtures to potentiate the spice.
Any suggestions are welcome!!

So my Changa is almost dry finally! The herbs look and feel dry but when I closed the jar for an hour, I could still smell the IPA so I am letting them sit for another few hours :] Here are some pics!

Batch #3:
I forgot to write down what herbs I used in this mix, but I know it was mainly mullein. I learned that the mullein so far is the most absorbent of the leaves I have used so far.
