100 ml vs. 50 ml of water in the SN method - 100 ml are better?

[c3po]

Hello,

In the SN Bible and also in this forum, 50 ml of water for 25 g of SN is considered the gold standard. However, I haven't seen any explanation for this anywhere yet. The PPEH recommends using between 50 and 100 ml of water.

My thoughts are: If the SN is more diluted (100 ml instead of 50 ml), the concentration of SN in the water is lower. Shouldn't that reduce the risk of nausea and vomiting?

I also did some research: A larger amount of water leaves the stomach and moves toward the intestines faster than a smaller amount of water because

1. the stretch receptors are activated more strongly.
2. Regardless of the stretch receptors, pressure on the stomach promotes faster emptying.
3. A liquid solution leaves the stomach faster than a viscous solution.

So, does everything actually point to 100 ml (or more?) and nothing against 50 ml? Or have I overlooked something?

I haven't read any justification for the 50 ml either in the forum or in the SN Bible. Some users point out that the SN is more diluted at 100 ml than at 50 ml. That's true, but it shouldn't matter because the total amount of SN consumed is the same.

I've always heard, or so it seems to me, that you shouldn't put too much on it.
50 ml

It shouldn't matter if you use 100mL instead. It's an interesting topic to brainstorm. If you used 100mL, it will be less concentrated so lower stomach irritation = lower chance of early puking? Maybe. I honestly think you could make arguments for both, but I believe 50mL is more popular because it is easier to chug it down in one gulp? You really shouldn't sip it in small amounts, it'll make you nauseous quicker.

This is why I'm going with 50 ML. It's about the same volume as a standard shot glass (in the U.S), so I can get it down in one swift gulp if I'm lucky, two if I'm not.
