A Beginner’s Guide To Changa (2 Methods)
Here is a comprehensive guide to Changa that you might have been looking for.
Guide To Changa: The Dosage
Changa contains a certain percentage of DMT which generally varies between 30% and 50%. In order to know the amount of Changa to administer, start with choosing the DMT dosage you want, then divide it by the percentage of

of your Changa.DMT dosages (from PsychonautWiki and Erowid):
Threshold: 2mg
Light: 10-20mg
Common: 20-40 mg
Strong: 40-60mg
Heavy: +60mg
Onset: 15-60 seconds
Duration: 5-30 minutes (Changa lasts a bit longer than pure DMT)
Normal After Effects: 15-60 minutes
Example:
You have some Changa (35% DMT) and want a common DMT experience. You look in the table above and find that a common DMT experience is 30mg (between 20mg and 40mg).
The calculation gives:
30mg / 0.35 = 86mg
You need 86mg of your Changa (35% DMT) in order to have a common DMT experience.
General Considerations: Guide to Changa
An easy way to administer Changa is with a small glass pipe (the ones about 5 inches long that you can hold in one hand).
Changa is almost like a powder, so you need a pipe screen otherwise it might fall in the bottom of the pipe. I have used brass pipe screens but there's also stainless steel pipe screens. A quick research online and you'll find them for cheap. The Changa will not leak through those thats for sure!
Method 1: The classic back to back
The idea with this method in this Guide to Changa is to take a series of back to back hits until the entire dose is administered.
Weigh out the dose of Changa you want, place it on the pipe screen. I have had similar results with and without the flame touching, but generally for the first hit at least I try to ignite the Changa without the flame touching, only with the hot air.
The number of hits isn't important. What's important is taking in the entire dose you weighed out. If you reach the end of your lungs capacity before all the Changa has been consumed, you'll need to take another hit.
Before each hit, take a deep breath to get oxygen to your brain, then a gentle exhale. Take the hit, hold your breath and count slowly to at least 15. I found that the effects really are stronger the longer you keep it in. For the last hit you may count longer if you wish, even count until you forget that you are holding your breath (advice from Tart). I try to count to about 30 but I often get lost before. Remember: the numbers are not important, but there is a significant difference between holding it 1 second vs 15 seconds. Do what feels right.

. Method 2: The Multi-dip
The idea with this Guide to Changa method is to have a series of trips/dips that get progressively deeper.
With Changa you don't develop as much instant tolerance as with pure DMT. So you could -for example- have a first hit of 60mg, count to at least 15. That first hit will give you a first impression of what Changa is. Kinda like a warm up. Meanwhile, have a friend prepare a second 60mg Changa in the glass pipe. It's easier if you weigh out everything beforehand and place doses in gelcaps, so your friend just has to empty them in the pipe (after clearing the ashes from the previous hit). I've always done it myself but then you lose some time and it gets tricky towards the last hits.
As soon as you come back from that first 60mg dip, don't be in a hurry, be relaxed about it -but don't wait ages. Take a deep breath in to oxygen your brain, then a gentle exhale, and take in the second 60mg. Count to at least 15. Enjoy. Repeat as many times as you wish. I think it's nice to decide on 3 doses beforehand and stick to those. For example 3x60mg. I think it's generally good practice to decide beforehand how much of any substance you intend to consume, in order to avoid mistakes.
Although 3x60mg = 180mg will not be as strong as taking 180 mg at once (in however many back-to-back hits necessary as described in the previous method), each dip into the Changa realm will be deeper and deeper. I like that method because I can take my time and it takes a lot of anxiety away from the experience, and you can work your way into hyperspace at your own pace.
If you intend to break through with the multi-dip method, you might want to split in 2 doses only, first small for warm up, then large for breakthrough, for example with 60mg + 120mg.
Last Piece of Advice
The first time you try Changa you could take a light dose (corresponding to 10mg DMT) and keep your eyes open. We could call this inspecting the spaceship. This is good practice to learn how to navigate these news waters and Guide to Changa.
