You can smoke your acetates but like others have said, it is harsh and often times you never really seem to get rid of all the vinegar.  I had been convinced that the freebase conversion with heat was absolutely correct.  Through experimentation I feel as though it does not work all the time.  It is much too inconsistent for me to recommend anymore. It probably is the reason behind why my trips fluctuated from barely anything to "Holy Smokes, I can't believe I made it back alive!"

I thank dreamer042 for clearing things up for me.

This is my preference as well.  It is very easy and you (xa) mentioned in another thread that this was the way you would most likely do it.  Why do you want to smoke the acetates?
