salvia 30x

i've used salvia 4-5 times in my life. each time, my friend supplied me with it - somewhere between 10x and 20x or 25x. for the first time, i find myself buying it off of an online vendor, and i plan on buying:
1 gram of 15x 1 gram of 20x and 1 gram of 30x
my question is:
a) what is the real difference between 15x and 20x, effects-wise?
b) what is the real difference between 20x and 30x, effects-wise?
i'm interested in finding this out, and then deciding whether or not i should get the 1g of 20x and 30x, or just 2 grams of 20x and save some money for the same experience.

well a gram of 15x is supposed to be 15 times the salvinorin concentration of 15 grams of leaf. 20x is supposed to be 33% more concentrated and 30x is supposed to be 50% more concentrated than the 20x or in other words double the concentration of 15x. the highest extract i've had is 10x and that is more than enough for me. i've made extracts of ~5x concentration at home and they are potent enough. sorry if that was a little hard to understand.

it wasn't hard to understand, and i actually appreciate you supplying me with all of that info, i actually learned something.
i heard that anything above 20x is pretty much a waste, as it's pretty much the same thing over and over.
is that true?
anybody here have experience with 30x, or anything higher and can compare and contrast?

i read it over a few times to see if it made sense or not.
as i said, all i've has been 6x and 10x and my homemade 5x. higher extracts should be more concentrated so i don't how they can be "the same over and over" unless it's some shady company trying to scam you.
if you're extract is good you should need markedly less amounts to have a effects and you could easily have too much if the extract is too high.

People seem to get confused on this for some reason. There is no difference between smoking 20X than smoking 4 times the amount of 5X aside from just having to consume more.
The "X" is simply the number of times stronger than plain leaf the extract is.
Buy whatever strength gets you the most salvinorum for the money.
If 20X is $20.00 then it would be stupid to pay $40.00 for 30X but people do it all the time.

the 20x is $10, and the 30x is around $16 i believe? i wanted to know if there are any more noticeable effects with this higher extract or not... or if it is just generally the same.

The difference is you will be paying an extra $1.00 to get your salvinorum in a more concentrated form that you can smoke 1/3 less of to get the same effect. The effects are no different. You just have to smoke slightly more of the 20X at a time to get the exact same effects of 30X. Buying a single gram it would be marginally worth the the extra $1.00 imo. If I were buying more though I'd go with the 20X.

That only holds true when buying from the same source though of course. One vendors 5X may be stronger than the next vendors 10X. It shouldn't be but it is.

You had it right with: Quote:
or just 2 grams of 20x and save some money for the same experience.
