Hi Summer! I don't know if I'm the right person to be asked this either, heh, but I can definitely try to help considering I am the one who's doing the coverage for novel base tryptamines and do have some experience in this area. Thanks for reaching out!
FWIW I decided to start the coverage with MET (first few trials already run, trip reports and effects profile currently in the making) and MPT (yet to cover, but have plans for it -- particularly for the oral route). EPT is also in the works but I decided to lower the priority on that due to the fact that it is the most similar to DPT in chemical makeup, of which there is a pretty solid depository of information on already (including my own experiences with it). I will probably end up covering 4-HO-EPT before EPT itself.
From the look of it, these definitely look like oral doses to me -- or at the very least not ones to be insufflated. In fact, I highly recommend people avoid insufflating base tryptamines if they can. Not only does the drip tend to be incredibly unpleasant (esp if you're taking over like 20-30mg+ as it's listed), but it's painful and can clog up your sinuses to boot. All of these factors can act as catalysts for bad trips or otherwise interfere with or ruin the experience.
I'm saying this based off personal experience with insufflated DPT a few years ago, where I became so ego-fucked as well as dissociated (in the psychedelic sense) that I couldn't tell if I was experiencing a dangerous degree of respiratory depression (due to not being able to breathe well from my clogged sinuses). I had to wake up my roommate in the middle of the night to get him to check my vitals and get ready to call an ambulance if how I was feeling (anxiety, panic, uncertainty) was the reality. Thankfully, it turned out to be all just in my head and the feeling passed within 20 minutes. The aftermath was pretty neat, but yeah, ever since that experience I tend to caution people from insufflating base tryptamines (and DPT in particular because of how powerful it is). If what I suspect is true and EPT is more similar to DPT than not, I would expect this to hold true as well.
Either way, if you're going to experiment with insufflation of this substance I would start with doses much lower than the ones on Tripsit -- 20-30mg to start, then work your way up. I honestly have no idea how it would respond at these doses, but that's where I would start if I were in your shoes at least (and still willing to insufflate my psychs in general, I vastly prefer to take them orally these days or vape/smoke them if possible). Regardless, I am currently working on a disclaimer section for the insufflation route for our base tryptamine pages so any additional information or TRs would be useful, although not totally necessary (your health and safety are more important to us than data on obscure novel base tryptamines xD).
Regardless, thank you for bringing this to our attention! I am going to reach out to the Tripsit team and let them know that this page is confusing and ask for additional clarification/verification and get back to you (although if this process takes a while, I do believe my instincts are correct on this one).
Whatever happens, please let me know how it goes. Also, welcome to the community! And kudos to you for being cautious, especially with this one.
Cheers,
Claire
