A Mediocre Experience

I recently acquired some Pentedrone (tested on FTIR) and decided I wanted to try vaping it after having tried it insufflated a few times. I found a few small posts of people saying they had tried vaping it but no full reports of the experience so here we go :)

I have experience with a few other stimulants but only with oral or insufflated use, I'd never vaped a stimulant (other than nicotine I guess) before this.

I like to use harm reduction strategies while I use substances so before starting I decided to set myself a redose limit for the night. I was allowed 4 bowls total.

8:05pm: Loaded up approximately 12mg of powder in my quartz banger cone piece in my bong and hit it slowly with a blowtorch from underneath. It slowly melted into a puddle and started letting off vapor. It vaped quite nicely, was very easy to vape but not burn it. It had kind of a sour chemically taste to the vapor, didn't taste too bad. Numbs my lips and throat as I vape it which isn't surprising as it numbs my nose when I snort it too. I feel quite content after vaping my 12mg, but no rush or anything, just a feeling of contentment.

8:15pm: mild anxiety setting in, just in my heart, nothing mentally. Still feel quite nice, body feels buzzy and warm, there's mild tactile enhancement.
8:23pm: There's some time dilation going on. it felt like 2 minutes passed between 8:15pm and now but it's been 8.
8:40pm: Feeling pretty normal by this point, time to redose

8:45pm: Loaded up approximately 24mg more, feel confident to up the dose as 12mg was quite mild. Slowly hitting it over time.
8:55pm: Mostly finished the next bowl by this point. mouth and throat are feeling even number this time around. Feeling of contentment is increased with this higher dose, I'm feeling lovely. I also feel a bit on edge, probably from the increased norepinephrine. Tactile enhancement is also increased. I don't feel compelled to be active, I'm currently watching old Simpsons episodes with my partner and cuddling up/relaxing on the couch, it's very nice.
9:02pm: Finished 2nd bowl
9:26pm: Came to the realization that this isn't even as nice as a cigarette was (I quit multiple years ago), it's somewhat similar but less satisfying and I feel more on edge than I would with a cigarette.
9:33pm: Feeling pretty normal by this point, haven't noticed a comedown feeling. There's not really a drop off it kinda just eases me back down slowly.

9:52pm: Loaded up my 3rd bowl with 24 more mg of powder.
10:02pm: Finished 3rd bowl, feeling lovely and satisfied again, had it a bit faster this time so the nice feeling is a bit nicer. No anxiety feeling at all this time.
10:28pm: Feeling pretty chill and normal again

10:47pm: Loaded up my 4th bowl with 32mg of powder, this is my last reload.
11:04pm: Finished my last bowl, this was mildly enjoyable, I would've had more fun just snorting it but it was interesting to try a new ROA.
I would've had more fun just snorting it but it was interesting to try a new ROA.
This bowl also gave me no anxiety, but the effects seem pretty lackluster, definitely diminishing over time even with increasing the dose throughout the night.

I have no desire to do this again with this chemical, and I'm not allowed to try vaping better stimulants as I want to avoid addiction so this will likely be the last time I vape a stimulant. I'm happy I tried this but the best ROA for this substance is definitely sniffing.

11:11pm: Smoked a cone of weed, it boosted the tactile enhancement quite a bit, there was a hint of anxiety, I don't know if it was from the weed stims combo or from the Pentedrone comedown but it was very minor.

Didn't manage to sleep until about 2am but I'm not sure if that was the Pentedrone's fault or if it was because I just didn't want to go to sleep early that night.

The next morning I felt very anxious until I had my coffee and breakfast which pretty much fixed me immediately. I managed to go out that day and even go on a first date without any issues. I was pretty exhausted that day and the next day but that could be due to many factors.

In conclusion, vaping Pentedrone was very mediocre, I wouldn't really recommend it but it was an interesting experience to have as someone who'd never vaped a stimulant before.
