edit: i don't condone this 'practice,' just merely pointing some things out. i think for the safety concious, smoking fentanyl using the drying method mentioned by insaneike, is probably better considering (based on headaches are common side affect smokin the gel while evaporating w. heat.)
after all is said, the longer drying it out method (posted by insaneike), if you can wait an hour or whatever. i only say this because i don't know about other people but headaches are a very common side affect using the faster gel smokin route.
browsing thru this section of the forum i notice different stated methods to smoke fent,. so i wanted to throw a tip out there with the others that i hadn't seen anyone else mention, if you're short on patience or whatever.
anyway, smooth out your foil a little to be able to see the gel on the foil
no need to bowl up the foil if you can be precise with gettin the smoke (smoke is visable, esp. in light)
get a drop of your serving size, then hold the flame like a foot away from the bottom of the foil slowly raise it to the foil and you'll not see smoke while the gel heats and evaporates, after it does a little tiny poof of smoke will go up, i assume that is the fent. cause that's when the feeling arises typically. and if i miss that smoke, i don't get the desired effects.
okay this doesn't sound like a tip anymore than obvious common sense. when i first smoked this shit i didn't feel anything cause i was doing it 'wrong.' i would lose patience after heating the gel (which if you blob on there and not smear thin takes some cooking time actually) so you're better off putting that extra inhalation into the last moments of process. what i do, if the pile is too big is take two inhalations. inhale all the gel, while cooking it down, then let off on the flame, (all while inhaling to miss nothing) then after the foil is cooled, hold, exhale.
at any rate, what i'm getting at is, it seems to be, that the fent. seems to burn last after the gel evaporates from heat. however, i inhale the whole time anyway just in case i am wrong about this 'cooking down.' probable source of headaching afterwards :D
