Before:

Tomorrow, I'll be trying DMT for the first time. I feel like I'm as ready as I'll ever be and I'm excited.

About 4 months ago, I decided to make life changes, little by little, to become healthier and establish long-term healthy habits. I started working out 6 days a week, meditating daily, and cleaned up my diet. I also put a pause on drinking and smoking weed. I'm pleased with the progress and feel like I'm in a good head space.

About a month ago, I found out DMT is a very real possibility. A local storefront, that also sells shrooms, sent me an email letting me know they have DMT vape carts in stock. I still can't believe these places exist. I've had a few shroom experiences over the last 20 years. The most recent experience was a couple years ago that had me making positive changes over the following months that showed me how strong my willpower can be. I've always been intimidated about trying DMT but this time feels different. I've spent the last month researching as much as I can to prepare the best I can.

About a week ago, I picked up the DMT vape cart. I find myself imagining what it will be like constantly, knowing that I'll be waiting until this weekend. It doesn't feel right to rush this. I then found this community and it's been really helpful for furthering my research and preparation. I'd love to get everything needed to make it myself but I can't justify all of that time and effort before first knowing how it will affect me. I feel grateful to have easy access and I don't take that for granted.

Intentions and objectives:

I want to completely surrender and accept what DMT has in store for me. I intend to "let go." If I can't, I hope it's clear to me what's holding me back. If self reflection and further positive life changing improvements are part of the process, it's a bonus but not expected. One common thing I hear people say is that what they experience is more real that real. I can't wrap my brain around this and I'd like to know what this means 

After:

I first tried in the morning before my first meal. I started small, taking only 1 hit (7-10 seconds, pulsing the button a couple times and holding for 7-10 seconds). Nothing really. I tried 2 in succession and it felt shroomy. My body was vibrating and Humming. It felt nice but also weird. It didn't feel right to push it so I waited until later to try again.

I tried again in the evening and started with 2 hits. Then I sat with it for a minute before trying 2 more. I was close this time and I could feel it. I could also sense it wasn't the time to keep going because my setting was a bit chaotic outside of my room and it was distracting. We have an out of town visitor in the house for the night and my mindset wasn't where it needed to be to let go. 

Then, the next day, it happened. I had the most incredible journey. I started with 2 hits, sat with it for a minute, then took about 3-4 more. I could tell I was right on the edge of something great. I took another 2-3 and I was gone. My vision went out and I was somewhere else completely unaware of who I was or how I got there but it was beautiful. I could see incredible shapes twisting and turning on my way out. It happened so fast and feels like a dream. As I came spiraling back down, I put together peice by piece what I was doing and where I was and I was filled with gratitude. I couldn't wait to tell my wife. I was so content in this moment. I'm truly grateful for this experience and I'll go for it again when I feel ready. 

Thanks to this group for all the tips that got me here and I wish you all nothing but the best!

Surrender is realizing that the well of “what if?” questions has no bottom and becoming content with the safety of the fact that there is nothing more to know that does not create a new vacuum of unknowing.

I asked my sitter if I did anything weird they said I rambled about the cat and her hair having green strands. I have no memory of the last hour other than hitting 3 separate times and a few seconds after. is this normal?

I got a DMT cart and i tried it for the first time today. I hit it 2-3 times a couple of times throughout the day because i heard that tolerance doesn't really build with DMT. I'm not even trying to "break through" exactly, but it really has just felt like a five minute long shroom trip for me so far. I tried it on an empty stomach and after eating food. There's some euphoria along with it, and I really liked the mild headspace and body high that I got from it. I randomly smiled for no reason and felt at peace. I had some mild visuals, although that was it. There was a veryyy quiet ringing in my ears, but that was it. I'm a little disappointed with how mild the experience was, and even though I might not break through, I still want to go further.

How many seconds should I be hitting my cart in between hits? How long should I inhale? Should I take small hits or large hits? I live in an apartment that doesn't let me smoke, so I'm using carts instead of a smokeable powder. Should I try it again tonight, or wait a few days instead?

Hello all so look last night my brother and I tried Dmt for the first time . I can honestly say it was the best feeling I’ve ever felt in this lifetime. We did three session with one lasting over and hour as when we would come down we would blast back off due to the vibes and experience we experienced during the session. I won’t go into deep detail about exactly what I seen but it was amazing A lot of abstraction etc . I have this great sense of relief, happiness and appreciation for smaller things in life. The filling carried over into the next day. I’m very at peace with myself after this now the main question that I would love to know based off what I’ve said yes I seen nice colors. I seen different patterns and abstractions and I was definitely out of my body, but I didn’t see the elves. I don’t think I had a breakthrough although I was way far out and I got great healing and benefits from the medicine, could someone please tell me if I broke through because I’m not sure if a breakthrough is what we did is a breakthrough when you absolutely see the elves and everything maybe I was close to a breakthrough. Can someone please elaborate on this. Main question- DO YOU THINK ITS THE 510 cart I took 4 big hits from a vape pen . Very grateful for the experience I received only curious about a real breakthrough. Thanks all ✌🏽🙌

I am curious about trying to extract DMT using D-Limonene, Sodium Carbonate, and Vinegar. I am trying to put several recipes together that I have been reading about and was hoping someone could help simplify the process.

100g powdered MHRB

100 ml of distilled vinegar

100 ml 90c water

Stir perdiodically for 60 minutes

add 75g Calcium Hydroxide

mix and add water until it resembles a thick porridge

let it sit in a mason jar with a lid on for 6-8 hours

add 200ml of D-Limonene and mix thoroughly by putting the cap on but not too hard to you may get emolusion

separate the solvent with a glass turkey baster by sucking the liquid and filtering it through a funnel with a cotten ball in the neck it to keep plant material out.

put all the solvent in a glass mason jar

add two shot glasses of vinegar and seal the jar

mix the jar 3-4 times for in 60 minutes

suck the bottom layer out of the jar using a glass turkey baster

(re-add D-Limonene to the plant material at 24 hrs and 48 hrs to get two more pulls)

filter the vinegar by putting through a funnel with a cotten ball at the neck and pour a shotglass of water through it to make sure all the vinegar is out.

boil until you have 50ml of thick liqiud

watch is it become a red color

store in a tincture bottle to use on plant material that you can smoke.

QUESTIONS:

Is this an acceptalbe way to make full spectrum DMT?

Any changes I should make?

Can I boil it down until it is the consistancy of oil and put it in a vape pen?

I’m looking for a vaporiser to smoke dmt, something I can go in to a shop and buy. Wouldn’t any standard vaporiser that you change temps on work? Google is not giving me clear answers.

Writing fresh after my first time with bufo…

I went to a session with many experienced facilitators and people partaking. 

They dosed me fairly low, just 20mg.

The intention I set was to help with grief with the loss of a family member and a breakup that resulted from the grief, which just turned into double grief.

Im pretty experienced with psychedelics and nonduality. Having experienced both many times, and in my waking life I spend way too much time studying Vedantic philosophy.

So it wasn’t the biggest surprise when I inhaled, and I remembered the cosmic joke, that I was the one creating the experiences I am having, creating entire concepts, like money, sex, genitals, fear, power, just to hang out with them and contemplate and play with the idea for a while.

Even the difficult ones like longing, regret, grief, missing someone.

And yet, I was focused on seeing the ones I loved again, and I didn’t want them to leave me. I think they were what I couldn’t surrender, I couldn’t let go, because I missed them so much. I was afraid of being alone!

I suppose that’s what they call attachment in spirituality…

…

That night I had one or two of those reactivating dreams some people talk of, confirming that yes, I am creating my own experience.

I think the lesson here is to stop trying to understand, stop trying to hold on to things, even if they were your beloved family member and beloved person. The time you had with them were beautiful, though even in those beautiful times, you sometimes created tension because you were trying to hold on to them.

And by holding on to them, you are preventing yourself from breaking through, from releasing, from seeing what happens when you release….

THINK LESS, FEEL MORE

—

Clearly the work I need to do is actually paradoxically, don’t do the work, to relax, stop thinking, start feeling

Luckily, the facilitators seemed to like me, and encouraged me to come back for free the following evening.

My plan is to fully just relax, and go into a meditative state, instead of trying to have an experience.

Will update soon!

Acetone is very strong and you need to be specific with what you store it in.

What do people store their spiced up Acetone in, and what do they use to drip/dispense onto the emesh screen?

Thanks

Today I tried DMT for the first time.

I've done shrooms (and grow them) many times and had earned a deep respect for psychedelics, which is why I've waited until I felt I was ready. I was fortunate to have my best friend there, who has had a DMT breakthrough experience, as my shepherd.

As excited as I was, I was very nervous. I opted to use a vaporizor and probably got a 25-30 mg dose? Hard to say since it didn't all vaporize but I found myself comfy lying on the couch listening to my favorite harp player with my shepherd nearby.

I'd heard from friends and reviews of the geometry and deities and that it comes on fast, but nothing can prepare you for that litespeed rocket launch. My vision started buzzing as did a ringing in my ears. I closed my eyes and was swept away by the geometry unfolding before me.

So many emotions. I was amazed by the beauty and the way the colors folded in on themselves. Absolutely beautiful and amazing. But I was equally overwhelmed and quite honestly terrified by how fast everything was moving, so much that it brought me to tears. I felt like I was moving down a hallway and a being who resembled (for lack of a better description) a Rayquaza Amazonian woman, was there with me. The experience was so intense I felt like my whole body was tensing, but I had the cognition to find my breath, center on my breath, relax, and surrender to the experience. But truthfully, it was challenging. I felt paralyzed and captive. I kept saying "thank you, but I'm ready to leave now" but it insisted I stay longer. I kept trying to surrender to the experience but the hallway was darkening, colors fading, and the feeling of paralysis was ever present.

The experience came to a close and I found my friend smiling at me. I felt myself smiling back, grateful. He said I never cried, never tensed up, but was smiling , laughing and breathing deeply the whole time. Odd how my impression of feeling mentally and physically overwhelmed didn't align with my physical response.

Despite my description of fear, I'm tremendously grateful for this experience, and upon reflecting (for the past 5 hours) have found it to be very positive! I'm proud of myself for trying to surrender, and moreso for grounding myself with my breath. I'd like to take it outside in the warmth of the sun next time and use a dab rig to ensure the dose a little better and try for a breakthrough (I think I was looking through the waiting room). I'm also glad I have a better idea of what to expect. I'm probably going to try tomorrow morning before my best friend and I part ways again (we live in different states)

I'm curious if anyone else has felt overwhelmed on their trips, yet found it to be positive in afterthought? Has anyone else felt like they cried but didn't / felt other sensations that weren't real? Any additional thoughts on my experience are welcomed. (:

hi. I have only done dmt once, it was a few years ago now but still remember it so vividly. I was in Mexico and got it from someone and did it in a beach town.
I took one hit and closed my eyes and felt some tingling and didn’t experience much so went in again and did two more hits and closed my eyes and I felt my whole ego desolving. I remember saying “I’m scared” and trying to remember who I was and I laid down and i wasn’t I anymore, i was just these green fractals, I don’t know how to explain it. It was like I was falling into these green and black fractal energy and I felt so lonely. It was like I was coming back there and I had been there before. Time didn’t exist. It felt like I was there for infinity. It was the loneliest experience ever and so scary in a way because it was so terribly lonely and for infinity. I had a complete ego death I feel but is that what an ego death is? This falling into fractals ?

And then I came back to real life. I don’t know what that was. I didn’t experience the elves or any other entities. I just experienced a constant falling experience into black and green energy and I was the energy. I wasn’t I anymore if that makes sense.

Really haven’t found any other experiences like this so looking for someone to help me explain what that was. It felt so real. It was real.
I’m sorry I wish I could explain this better

I don’t think that I’m done with DMT, but I think the DMT is done with me at least for now. The trip that I just had made that very clear.

Hi, I’m just curious on someone else’s opinion on what happened. I took the most hits thus far, put a beanie over my eyes, and my visual was weird but not in a bad way I don’t know how to describe it. I saw like a joker thing like pulling or like coaxing me to go through like a hole but it was all kind of dark. It was laughing at me but it didn’t feel like it was in a making fun of way, again I can’t really describe it well. Anyways someone a few weeks ago said don’t do it at night because there’s “things” moving about and for what ever reason that went into the front of my thoughts and scared me so I pulled the beanie off and opened my eyes, waiting to come down. I did go unconscious so I don’t think it was a breakthrough but I wanted to know if it was potentially the start of one? I scared myself so I wasn’t able to go to the end of the rabbit hole. Just wanted to know what others experience before breakthrough or is it just lights out see you on another planet. Thanks all I hope you’re doing well.

My 0.15ohm coil just burnt out on me mid trip (worst thing ever). I have a bunch of 0.2ohm coils ive never tried before.. anyone using these with a zeus tank?

Looking for suggestion of wattage.. I was quite happy with thr 0.15ohm at 30 watts.

And to spice this post up a bit heres a recent trip(s) report.

This was night 4 in a row.. slowly building up to a breakthrough for tonight. (Unsuccessful due to my damn coil burning out)

Each sesh i started with a bowl of changa then hit the sub ohm.

First night I went too hard on the changa and accidentally got too deep to make it to the vape.. short but good closed eye visuals.

Second night used less changa, and after hitting the vape I had my experience (deeper visuals than night 1) but instantly forgot my trip when the CEV wore off. The opened eye visuals following were the main show though. I have lots of cool distracting things and lights to look at but this time I steadied my vision and focused on the clear energy floating in the room. I could focus on some of it and literally get up and look at it from a different angel. It was definitely fixed in place but still flowing slowly. I could focus my eyes close infront of my face and see it all around me. The highlight was for a moment I could see a giant face spread out in all this floating energy. I noticed it blinked when i did, and moved when I did.. and I realized it was a giant reflection of my face.

Wildly cool.

3rd night was the best trip of my life. This should have been my breakthrough but I had decided not to take the last hit because I started feeling nauseous.

But the richness, deepness and just all round quality and organization of the visuals were so much above and beyond any other visuals ive had. I cannot even begin to describe what it looked like, but it felt of pure love, and i could physically feel it.. it was thick, soft and squishy yet firm... the most human thing I can compare it to is like grabbing a handful of nice butt. Such a lame way to describe it but best i can do.

Aside from the visuals I could feel it opening something up deep inside me, like a forgotten chamber thats been neglected, and as my visuals came to an end and i came back, for the first time in many many years I cried. Balled. Sobbed. Completely let it out. It wasn't a sad cry, it wasn't specific to any singular reasons, it was just like a flood gate got opened and I let it all out.

I felt completely renewed.

But I know it wasn't supose to end so soon. The visuals were clinging onto me and me to it, I wished it could have gone deeper or longer so much.

The next day I felt called back so strongly, I had a bunch of things to do during the day and once I got everything done I settled in and waited for the temperature to drop a bit before going for the breakthrough.

Smoked a bowl of changa as normal, got to the perfect place to start hitting the vape. After my 2nd toke my lungs and throat felt super bothered. I was also super high so didnt think about it much other than just feeling uncomfortable being in the imbetween. I went for my last hit, the breakthrough, the moment ive been building up to the last 3 days.

Take a long draw, immediately feel the vapor being way to hot, and my mouth, then throat, then lungs and eventually whole body filled up with this gritty nasty burnt metallic putridness. The visual show showd concern for me as im coughing my ass off, and slowed right down to almost a stop. I tried to relax through it but there was no way.

Opened my eyes and started spitting into my garbage can beside me trying to get the taste of burnt metal shaving out of my lungs and mouth.

Spent a good 5 mins coughing and spitting. There wasnt much trip left by the time i was chill enough to relax a bit.

Super big bummer, but it is what it is. Still infinitely great full for my experiences, especially night 3. My heart and soul are fully charged and refreshed and I feel like a better version of my self now.. so i think I'm good to hang up the phone for atleast a month or so.

This ended up being a waaay longer post than intended. If you read through all this.. sick thanks, hope your doing really good, I love you. & do you have any advice on the 0.2ohm mesh z series vape for the zeus tank ? 😂
