Re-X is less pungent than the original product

[TheQuantumSoul]

Greetings

My Re-X has been safely stored for the last few months. I recently opened the vial and noticed that the odour is very faint now compared to what it once was, pre-ReX.

Do you think the potency might have been reduced too or is it simply because the impurities/plant fats have been removed?

In addition, is Re-X more potent per mg as a result of the process?

Thanks in advance for your input

Presumably by "RX" you mean recrystallised product ("re-x"). "Rx" can also refer to prescription medication so I would suggest you stick with a less ambiguous abbreviation for clarity's sake.

Recrystallisation removes impurities like indole and skatole which are the principal odour molecules responsible for the "DMT" smell.

In addition, is RX more potent per mg as a result of the process?

There would only be a significant increase in subjective potency if the crude material contained significant quantities of inert or antagonistic material. That said, over the years some users have reported a greater subjective potency from some seemingly less pure material (e.g., "Jungle spice") and the reasons for this have been debated inconclusively. It may be that the impure material vaporises more readily, or that the effect is purely placebo, or that some improbably potent contaminant enhances the efficacy of the DMT by a yet-to-be-explained mechanism. Occam's razor goes some way to eliminating this last option, however.

Thanks for your reply. What's your personal preference, re-x or not?

I only ever had the recrystallised stuff but for different reasons (heavy solvent clean-up) so that doesn't really count as a preference, other than I'd prefer to avoid random impurities. In the interest of keeping this post brief, I'll just say that I could write several paragraphs on this but pretty much all the information those paragraphs would contain can be found on the forum already.

It would be lovely to go into depth on this were my time commitments to allow that to happen. This lands somewhere near the middle of my practically infinite to do list, tbh.

I would encourage to to reconsider!! I would really like to hear more?
