Purge too soo = before the intensities are build up. If such a purge happens it's possible that only weakened intensities will follow because dose was lost. With aya it can take 45 to 2 hours before the works start, depending on digestion track speed. Once the intensities are present you cannot loose dose so to speak, any purge from there is not too-soon.
On the odd side there are too-soon purges reported that did got followed by sheer intensities. I suppose it is possible that during the stomach 'contraction' a part of it's content got forced into the bowels to beneficial effect.
Since drinking maoi+spice together (or separate) has a wide variety in timings for different people, you might guess it's a no-brainer and it's hard to do something wrong. The success of a trip depends on many factors and the drink-time between maoi & spice is just one play in that whole of dynamics. It's not a concern actually.
Dose: for a starter I always advise 3 to 4 gr mimo and for caapi a 50 gr dose should work. But degree of activity depend on the efficacy of your brewing, and the activity of your starting material. Powder works best. If shredded then you need a lot of boiling time.
Note that a simple 4 gr mimo can deliver already 80mg of deems if the brew allowed for it's 2% of actives to reach the waters.
You might as well try 50 gr caapi on it's own first, the most elemental form of ayahuasca.
Happy trials wished.
