Salvia dosing?

[Lucent]

So i've read the post about Salvia dosing, but I don't actually have a scale that can measure in mgs. Should I just half my ~gram of salvia until I get ~20mgs of my 15x extract? My past experiences with salvia have been pretty bad and I want to do it right this time. Thanks

Okay so this is my reasoning here.. I'm not very confident in math or science skills so if somebody could confirm this, that would really ease my mind. I mean, it makes sense to me and seems pretty basic, but I've been wrong plenty of times before..

Grams
1.000 = FULL
0.500 = Half #1
0.250 = Half #2
0.125 = Half #3
0.075 = Half #4
0.0375 = Half #5
0.01875 = Half #6
0.009375 = Half #7

and
0.01875 + 0.009375 = 0.028125

So would that be my dose, since I am looking for an ~25mg dose?

I've smoked salvia plenty of times, but I've never really measured (usually do measure for DMT though). For salvia for me, the use of a butane lighter is significantly more important than neither the dose nor even the extract's concentration. I know I've had debates with others here about this before, but to me, the key to opening up Sally D's gates is the butane lighter.

Depends entirely on the quality of your extract. Poorly prepared resinous extracts require more heat, but a good quality extract burns very hot. A butane torch never hurts.

Yeah, I've been experimenting with low doses ever since the initial "semi breakthrough" I had. I just keep adding a little bit more than last time, and it is definitely easing me into the experience a lot better than taking a giant rip of salvia and freaking the fuck out would. I am starting to understand what is going on with the lower doses, as I am more aware of the distortions and hallucinations and my surroundings while I am under the Salvia effects. I haven't been able to break through since, but I've gradually increased my dosages and I am getting pretty close, while eliminating the fear I have about ingesting Salvia. I don't know if that makes any sense.. but I feel like it does!

As for the butane lighter, I'll have to try it out and post my findings..
