Vicks Vapor Inhalers

[izzy31]

How suspicous is it to purchase more than one vicks inhaler? SWIM was thinking about using the 50mg of levmetamfetamine (the weak l-desoxyephedrine crap) to get buzzed.

[Beanfondler]

Swibf would sense the cashier feeling a bit awkward if 6+ where thrown down. More importantly Swiy is likely to have to go through a few cornerstores worth of stock to feel much of anything.

advising consumption of large amounts of methamphetamine?? advice like this leads to overdoses.

[allyourbase]

^ entirely incorrect. it is pharm grade L-meth, 50 milligrams will approximate about half that of D, some actually prefer it as the "high" comes from dopamine, as Lmeth causes only mild adrenergic effects. swim would advise starting with one. start low, it is not as weak as its over the counter status would lead one to believe.

within the past few months walgreens pharmacys have begun keeping the vicks inhalers BEHIND the psuedefed in bullet proof glass boxes, swim advises wal-mart, wal mart is so american, one can find guns, beer, and methamphetamine, all in the same place they buy their kids' christian rock cds and get their tires balanced.

This doesn't seem right. Vasoconstriction effects come from adrenal receptors. Which is what Vick's inhalers do, and they're pretty good at it, they're all I use for colds since psuedoephedrine went RX only in Oregon. Does swiy really get that much euphoria out of it? If so, swim will give it a try, because he knows they at least smell a lot better than Benzedrex.

[Beanfondler]

izzy31 seemed to be familiar with the less psychoactive isomer. The apparently genuine endorsement of pursuit suggested levels of consumption was accurately assessed. Swibf was honestly hesitant at first... He thought someone may incorrectly see the statement as a jest; concerning the motivation to obtain a substance more likely to result in what would obviously be an OD before anything worth the effort would pay any dividends.

Its obviously still MA, just happens to lack any of MA's more admirable qualities.

[allyourbase]

it only lacks the adrenergic qualities, the jittery part of the high, it is fully as euphoric, particle for particle with desoxyn. frankly swim is confused as to why it is not abused more often, the camphor tasting burps aside it is quite a reliable high for roughly 4 USD.

[Beanfondler]

Swibf must have been consuming large quantities of the vapo-rub, dosed to the extracted equivalent of more than five quite a few times. Other than chewing a hole in the side of his mouth Swibf has yet to yield a euphoric result.


Swibf took along time to give up on it, the other isomer is easier to come by... cheaper at least.

Propylhexedrine (Benzedrex) had marginally better results for Swibf, nothing worthwhile.

[allyourbase]

perhaps swibf's tolerance is too high. for swim, one cotton of vicks, or half a cotton of benzedrex, is more than enough to achieve the desired result. when on the rare occasion swim uses desoxyn or street MA, he usually takes 60 mg desoxyn and between 60 and 100 mg of MA. benzedrex has too many side effects for swim to take much more, and the problem swim has with vicks is as noted the price. but if one is in the need for a stimulant its always available, and swim has resorted more than once to these materials for all night study sessions. swim rather likes the vicks as opposed to adderal for this purpose as it doesnt cause the jitters.

[Beanfondler]

Swibf may have become too tolerant by now, but the vast majority of Vick's fraternization was on a clean slate. Amongst the first pursued/considered and essentially the first stage in his quest for amph.

[jazzmetalguitar]

SWIM would recommend any place with a self check-out line. Personally, he also thinks the inhalers are garbage, but to each his own. SWIM has even bought over state limits of DXM in a single checkout line before.

[Stephenwolf]

AllYourBase It seems odd that you say it has more euphoria. Several posts here about Lev-met have consistently said its a jittery Way too much coffee type of energy. That sounds very Adrenal Stimulating. But i may be wrong.

[Beanfondler]

Dmeth triggers the release of dopamine and to a lesser extent the reuptake of dopamine; while Lmeth works oppositely. Allyourbase appears to have attributed the methamphetamine euphoria to the reuptake rather than the release of dopamine. There is very minimal euphoric potential for Lmeth, but as many have anecdotally indicated and sources would indicate it is no where near that of Dmeth.

Methamphetamine and cocaine bind to VMAT2, which is a transporter that controls reuptake of noradrenaline and dopamine among other things. Cocaine simply turns this off and stops the reuptake. High levels of amphetamines reverse it's action, actually dumping presynaptic monoamines at inappropriate times. However, L-meth does not bind to this protein very well and therefore, no euphoria really. However, it seems clear that L-meth binds to peripheral receptors throughout the body, which sounds like it gives epinephrine(fight or flight) responses rather than norepinephrine responses. However, this is not to say that L-meth does not bind to VMAT2 at all, this could lead to persons with a low tolerance to amphetamines or someone who has increased dopamine neurons to have some euphoria as some reports seem to indicate.

Swim, a person with absolutely no amphetamine tolerance consumed half of Vick's vapor inhaler stick at 12:30 pm today, so far he has experienced slight peripheral stimulation and even slighter psychoactive stimulation, but no euphoric effects so to speak, but also no negative effects, so he will soon consume some more. Swim has taken Benzedrex on about 5 occasions and only needs half of a stick to get very good effects. The only store in his town that carries Benzedrex was out, so he thought he would give it a try. One plus though was the taste of Vick's compared to Benzedrex. Vick's went down nice and smooth with no lavender burps.He wishes Benzedrex would start using this formula.

Oh another note, no distinct raise in heartbeat or blood pressure was noted thus far

Update: Swim ingested a bit more cotton, but gagged on a bit, so he's waiting to finish it off. He is starting to feel much more focused and alert. His eyes are very wide open also.
Update: Psychoactive effects are increasing for swim. Lots of stimulation, but very pleasant, not harsh or caffeine like at all. Peripheral stimulation still feels quite normal also. Swim definitely has a mood boost, but has not crossed into euphoria. He is also beginning to lick his lips a bit, which Benzedrex causes swim to do a lot.
Swim thinks he has consumed about 30-40mg of the inhaler and will quit there, because effects are coming on pretty rapidly now.
Not a lot of change, but overall he's not disappointed. If swim can find the generic version he might consider grabbing some. He is experiencing the nice cold tingle of Benzedrex right now also.

By the way sorry for the jumbled up report, I'll clean it up tonight when swim is done.

When Bongo needed to stay awake for a long winter's drive through the Cascade Mountains in Washington, he tried a Vick's Inhaler - leaching out the l-deoxyephedrine. And down the hatch...

...Agitated. Nervous. Nasty skin tingling. Rapid heart rate. And a pounding headache. He made it through the mountain passes. No help from the Vick's.

[superwoman]

Swim is wondering how these inhalers are being consumed exactly... by eating the cotton inside? Or drinking the solution?

Swim was just checking out the thread and was curious.

Any further clarification is greatly appreciated. Thanks...

[Beanfondler]

They can be extracted with vodka and a few drops of muriatic acid. Just swallowing the cottons is alright if one isn't consuming large quantities.

[JaWill88]

all swim has done is the benzedrex propylhexadrine but is wondering if anyone finds the vicks inhaler (levo methamphetamine) to be better?

Swim says benzedrex is much better. Swim had the most awful hangover the day after levo. Also the effects were not worth the hang over. For swim, benzedrex is extremely strong and does cause a hang over, but as badly.

Would mixing the Vick's cotton with the Benzedrex cotton(maybe half dose to avoid bad effects) cause any potentiation? Swim has mixed 1 Benzedrex cotton with 20-30 mgs of Adderall and it was amazing. Are there any drug mixtures involving the l-meth from vicks and something else like small doses of adderall and/or Benezedrex?

swim just thought he'd bump his post since it hasnt recieved a response. any swimmers try combinations of the mentioned or other drugs? as swim said, he knows too much will cause nausea or worse, so would half a vicks inhaler and a benzedrex cotton have any increased effects? swim is used to 1 benzedrex cotton and consumes it maybe every other week, but it's starting to lose it's magic. any other potentiation tips from you "chemists" or "biologists"?

swim can tell this will need a bump in a few days...

I had a dream about this thread the other day.
In the dream SWIM went out and got one of these inhalers then cracked it open and just to see what happened put the whole cotton ball into a gelatin capsule and ingested the entire thing.
Surprisingly in this dream SWIM had no ill-effects, it was somewhere between a high (50 or 75mg) of Ephedrine and a low (25ish? mg) of adderall he said.
Not terrible, not too special as a speed experience but for cheap, OTC, legal, simple to acquire it is perfect.

[Beanfondler]

Swibf has found the Vick's inhalers to be completely worthless, the Benzedrex slightly better.

[justlookingthanks]

swim finds some of this thread pretty funny and driving threw the pass either highway 2 or i-90 on speed (meth) is always fun when its not snowing there

gotta love washington states weather lol

[Boca Bitch]

Wouldn't over-consumption of this product result in extreme nausea from the menthol?
