First off, never, ever, ever, make a salvia joint. salvinorin A. is the active main chemical, and you need temps of atleast 240C to release it. Use a torch lighter if you can or a just a regular lighter. Take big hits, hold them for a long time. If you're used to a bong, use a bong. You can smoke it out of pretty much anything though, I use a glass pipe with a screen.

I tripped hard on 10x my first time, it was wacky.
