extract dosage?

How are you supposed to dose extracts such as 5x and 10x? How can I measure the right amount out?

Take a very very small pinch. I use a bong, with a glass bowl and throw a screen at the bottom for extracts, since you need so little. Then just tap out like 1/10th of a bowl or less, like a small pinch from your fingers..tiny tiny bit. Start there, then work your way up.

right, take a thumbpinch in a bowl, enough for ONE hit and take it all the way in and hold it until the stuff is all burt up, then set the pipe down and be ready to lie down and not move for 10-15 minutes if it hits you hard enough.
it should definitely do something to you but you may not break through, but IMO it would be risky to take a second hit if you're dealing with extract as you might not know you're fucked up until it's too late as it hits very fast when it does hit, but until then you have some "free time" that could be wrongfully used by toking again.
i recommend not exhaling at all if possible, letting the smoke totally soak in and holding the breath while lying down for as long as possible.
one big hit from just a glass pipe of some decent 5 or 10x should be enough to at least give you a partial breakthrough. --------- i just plug the carb and hit it really hard until it hurts and the stuff is burnt, then unplug and inhale the rest.

Or you can fill up the bowl with as much as your want and go by lung capacity.
By that I mean take half or 3/4 of what air you can possibly take in and gauge it that way.
If you smoke as much as I do, you can control it real well.

I'm glad I didnt follow your advise when I first tried extract, I'd have been blown the fuck away off a full lungfull of 10x.

yeah, but then you have to worry about a burning bowl while you're tripping, it just seems like that would be a little wasteful to me as more smoke would escape into the air.
i'm not good at smoking techniques though, but i can't seem to stop a lit bowl once it gets going without at least some wasted substance.
