ok bbb has what seems to be the best prices... plus they sell viridis really cheap so it can be an all in one stop n' shop.
what is the biggest difference in the non-standardized vs. standardized... i realize that its not a definte measurement.... but does that mean it is less effective?
i.e. takes more to break through therefore burning up more product quicker than if you went with the standardized?

"i.e. takes more to break through therefore burning up more product quicker than if you went with the standardized"? Salvinorum A is going to kick your ass if you light it on fire and smoke it. Im surprized so many people think that salvia needs to be burned at any specific temperature. A normal lighter works just fine. What ever standardized means, it has nothing to do with "waisting more or less salvinorum A".
All I know is that all extracts work nicely.
Why they have even made these two classifications is beyond me. Salvia is so potent that I never cared to learn what the difference is.
A salvia extract is usually an extract set onto leaf, and I have no idea why they give them these names. For All I know standardized means "in comparison to the average potency". Some leaf is stronger than others, so that might make some sense.

so essentially the nonstandardized to standardized does not affect potency?
does anyone know why that have these two classifications?
i thought standardized was more "pure" and able to tell the potency?

ok i read over some old posts, and basically with non standardized your not getting a true gram of pure salvinorium A because other waxes and extras are also in the extract therefore giving it more weight.
so the standardized actually should be more potent since it technically has more salnivorium A per square inch right?

If its put onto leaf its not "one gram of" pure Salv A. Extracts all vary in potency.
That would make some sense though.

sure sure i see what your saying as you see what im saying.
so ideally standardized is better because there is more salnivorium A per square inch basically.

for the record, can you do an extraction of just leaves the way you do an extraction of HBWR seeds with a polar and non polar solvent?
are all alkaloids of different plants and chemicals able to be extracted with a polar and non polar solvent wash?

very different
this link shows that what is advertised is not always what is there http://sagewisdom.org/wolowichetal.pdf
this link shows how to extract etc. which is easier than extraction of alkaloids, salvinorin is not an alkaloid.
http://imageevent.com/sphere/salviadivinorumextractiontech;jsessionid=7yxgnq4ec1.tiger_s
I reccommend the chilled acetone extraction. and then making salvinorin infused cigarette papers for easy storage and easy portability, handling, dose measurement and use.

i dont have time to check out the links.. but as always i appreciate them and will defintially check them out in a little bit.
just for the record, in laymans terms... what is considered a "chilled acetone" solution?

if you have insufficient time to look at those excellent and pictorially specific links, then it is reasonable to say that no salvinorin preparation information will suit your pace of life.

Standardized means they put a specific amount of the chemical, salvinorin, in each gram that is the extract's strength multiplied by the chemical found in normal leaf.
Nonstandardized means they don't test the amount of chemical in the leaf, they just do an extraction by mass- for example, for 20x, they'd just take 19 grams and evaporate all the chemicals in it onto 1 gram.
Trust me, nonstandardized is fine and will definitely work just as well, plus standardized is a hell of a lot more expensive without giving you much back. I've done both from several suppliers, including BBB and IAmShaman, and nowadays I just go with the 20x from BBB. As a matter of fact, I just received my 20x nonstandardized extract from BBB, and after testing it out, I can tell you that you won't be disappointed.
My recommendation is to get whatever's cheapest, and that's obviously always nonstandardized.
