ABV and me, finally ready?

I don't vape very often, as a result my ABV pile is a bit on the thin side. I am guessing I have about 1.5 to 2.5 g worth, it's hard to estimate with no scale. This is about 3 months worth for me. As you can imagine I don't want to waste this try. It will be my first attempt and I am super excited.

I remember reading a recipe for firecrackers, but couldn't find it in a search. If memory serves I'm to mix finely ground ABV with nutella, spread on cracker, cover in foil and bake at 200 F for 20 mins.

Firstly does the recipe sound accurate? Secondly what dose should I start at? I don't want to be at an 11, but I would hate to under shoot and have to wait another few months. I do understand that tolerances and potency may vary too much to have a precise answer, but any opinion would be welcome.

Lots of different recipes for firecrackers, and that one is one of them.

Regarding dosing, there's so many variable to consider, from your own body chemistry to how well vaped your ABV is, to who much you weigh, your age, etc etc.

For me, my ABV is vaped down to just a few shades below black............dark coffee brown. I weigh in at 193, my tolerance to vapor is pretty low and I'm 71 years old. For me, a dosage of 2.25 grams is about perfect but keep in mind, for you, that "could" be way too much. It's always best to start low to find a baseline.

It sounds like your tolerance is low. Try it out on a weekend or when you don't need to go to work the next day too. Try later in the day closer to evening and if you get too medicated you could just go to sleep.

I'm with every one above, with a bit of a difference. If you are too impatient to start slowly, start big! But do it on a day you can veg on the sofa and don't have to make any big decisions. I'm too impatient myself, and after a few slow starts I now start rather high, and work my way down to a reasonable dose.

You could also mix it with peanut butter that's been heated in the microwave, and then mix all that with some ice cream.

I over did it with a chocolate peanut butter milkshake. I used way too much and I was medicated for over 24 hours. I had to go to work the next day. It was awful.

I used half the milkshake and put the rest in the freezer and waited. I didn't notice much so after 2 hours I drank the rest, that was my mistake. I should have waited.:evil:

I really didn't think that ABV could hit me like that.

I would break that up into 4 sessions personally. It can take anything between half an hour to 4 hours to kick in, I find eating something tends to trigger it to kick in. In terms of recipe do what works for you, I started out with brownies but on my next batch I will try it with milkshake, as long as you have infused with fat it should be effective.

Being capable and being lazy are not mutually exclusive. I'm both. Also with my firecrackers made with Trader Joes Cinnamon Graham Crackers and their organic Peanut Butter, I can't taste the ABV at all and I've got some sensitive taste buds.

I usually use my abv to make a simple topical, but I've done abv & pbj a few times too. I guess some ppl just sprinkle the abv and eat? I'm not sure you get full decarb off vaping so I usually put mine in a pan in the oven for 20-30mins when I get an oz or so built up. Figure it can't hurt it for anything I may do with it.

I would advise the opposite actually; my advice would be to go with the firecracker. And it has nothing to do with being lazy or incompetent, as I imagine he has the necessary skills to follow a brownie recipe. I would go with the firecracker purely based on the fact that he only has a couple grams of ABV. If he decided to whip up a batch of brownies with that amount of ABV in it, he might very well end up having to eat most if not the whole batch to feel any effects. Now, I love brownies as much as (or possibly more than) the next person, but I don't think I could eat a whole batch of brownies in one sitting. He could cut all the ingredients in half and make a half-batch, and that might be doable, but for all the time and effort he would put into what would likely be one or two doses, it's just not worth it IMO. I would just toss it into a firecracker, or a milkshake, or a bowl of oatmeal, et cetera, before I made brownies with it. Just my :2c:.

If your ABV is light-colored, I'd weigh it out maybe 2 x your normal flower dosage.

it hits differently, and will ramp up on you, but for a first time, I'd try just double the amount you normally vape, and see what happens.

Thank you all for the responses. Bright and early tmr my plan is to try about 0.3gr, about 2x my normal dose. Then 2-3 hrs later if all is well blast off with about 10x my normal dose. Will report back, wish me luck.

@slick - If you don't mind could you do us all a favour and document your day? I always enjoy reading posts... what was the one a couple of months back? 'I'm at a 7 out of 10', followed by a 'I'm at 12 out of 10'... :)



Or make this, but add a couple of grams of fresh herb to it as well. Just to be on the safe side! (just kidding about the extra. Unless you document it for the rest of the class :evil:

Thats the recipe. Who follows recipes? Not this almost-cured type 2 diabetic ;)

I use 'Stevia in the Raw' in place of white sugar, and have recently found 'SweetDrops' flavoured Stevia drops. One or two drops of Hazelnut or Vanilla really help cover my coffee tinctures!

T -11:45 Make 3 firecrackers with the first having 1/4 avb and the second two splitting the rest. Place into fridge.

T +00:00 Eat first cracker w/ morning cereal.

T +00:17 I realized I was at a 3 climbing to a 4. I remembered reading multiple time how long it usually takes to kick in. Glad I started this thread and changed my mind about just making 2 with 1/2 the ABV each. Seatbelt fastened and tray in the upright position.

T + 00:46 Note that it's becoming difficult to follow simple thoughts past a certain point. Can feel my heartbeat every time I close my eyes. Getting side effects, a bit of nauseous and dry mouth like never before. Despite these, I still feel comfortable.

T +01:30 Time is feeling slow, minutes are like hours...Bit of an exaggeration, every 15 mins feels like an hour. Could this be a 10? I still feel functional, but only with great effort.

T + 05:00 Spent most of the time until now exploring my head space. My mind is racing too much to sleep. Despite an almost tangible knowing that sleep would be heaven. Regret not putting music on until now.

T + 07:00 At a 4 and falling. Debating on formatting of time indicators. T: +XX.XX? T. +XX:XX? Settle on current configuration.

Conclusion: Very high for a long while. At times bordering on regret but in the end glad for the experience. Would not repeat soon but plan to at some point.

Thankfully that idea never crossed my mind. I was way up there but felt there might be a next level that I best avoid. A solid 9 that got a peak at what a 10 could be.

My main concern about any next time is that it sucked my day away before I was done. Hard to find a free day where that will be OK again.

Yep, me too! When is the day when you know outside influences will be at a minimum? It sometimes feels that life is getting in the way of my buzz.

Next time plan ahead - some music, some strawberries, some cheap sparkling plonk, a bit of tincture, mebbe a touch of 'creme de cassis' or 'parfait d'amour', and the special guest 'el firecracker del muerte', or something kinda dramatic. Somewhere in the middle of your mix should be a the Disco version of the music from 'Phantom of the Opera', as I remember reading in one of dad's hidden playboy magazines that it was a best-seller that year!
