I'd still encourage you to give it another try doing it using "the proper method", because the way you burn the Salvia is the most important thing. Bong + blowtorch butane lighter , and keep the flame on the leaves/powder all the time while you inhale. You might also want to try some 10x or 15x extract rather than regular leaves or 5x.
When I tried it with a regular lighter, all I got was heavy sweating.
When I used a "blowtorch" lighter, I remember inhaling and thinking "I have to try to hold it to get the strongest effect possible", but I don't know/remember ever exhaling or putting the bong back on the table (of course I did exhale, but I remember "not remembering" this), that is to tell you how fast it started. It is quite difficult to express the experience with words, I remember the table in front of me seemed to be growing very slowly and kind of float, and I could "feel" patterns in things around me, but also in thoughts.
I was also thinking that I had a complete and perfect understanding of the sentence "to open the gates of perception", that I was acctualy understanding the "essence" and true meaning of those words, all that with a very strong (not to say extreme) feeling of empathy for what the sentence meant. At the same time, I felt kind of sad because I "knew" that the people around me could not understand that, because they were not on a superior level of consciousness like I knew I was (I should say that I was "aware of beeing conscious of this fact"). Things seemed very clear and simple to me, but at the same time, I felt difficult to follow a thought for very long, and I was completely unable to understand what people were saying around me, it was all sounding like mumbles.
All this might not be entiery linked to the salvia only, because we had smoked marijuana through the evening, but the "trip" was fairly intense for something like 10 minutes (from what I was told ; not realy sure on how long it acctualy lasted, my perception of time was gone at the time)
