Try not to let the flame touch the brillo directly.
Just close enough so that you are heating the brillo up & allowing
it to form the vapor & keep it flowing steady while you inhale.
Except maybe on the last hit...to make sure you get anything that melted to the bottom side of the brillo.
Just a tip
If you find the Machine works well for you, get youself a small waterpipe, or bubbler
with a thumb carb on it & put the brillo in the bowl of that!!
Use just enough water to make it bubble & you'll like it even more!!
(and NO!...the water filtering dose not alter the potency at all!!)
A pull stem on the water pipe doesn't work as well, because
you need to keep the heat over the bowl constantly & you can't do that if you have to keep removing the bowl in order to clear the chamber.
With a thumb carb, I hold the lighter over the bowl &
fill the chamber, remove thumb & clear it, fill it, clear it, fill it, clear it,etc..etc.. until my lugs are full.
Varying the distance of the lighter above the bowl the whole time...keeping the vapor consistent.
A bunch of smaller hits in a row, adding up into one big-ass hit, makes it so I feel & taste nothing as I inhale!!
I'll do that 3-4 times for my full dose.
(with my new lil waterpipe, it has literary been 100% breakthroughs!! Never had that with any DMT device I've use before!)
This is the new water pipe I've been using & it's the best DMT device I've ever encountered!!!
100% ideal IMO!
It is not too big...it was cheap & it even came with a cool little box.
Here is a link to the place I got it at.
They have a lot of other ones that would work great too!
If the brillo thing works good for you, I highly recommend you get yerself one of these as it is perfect!!!!!!
This other pic is the bubbler I used to think was ideal...I broke it while moving to a new apt & it took me 6 months & about 5 different waterpipes, bongs & bubblers to find another that worked really well.
Not all of them work as good as others. Like I said, find one with a big, wide hole for the thumb-carb, so it easily clears the chamber.
Too big a chamber & it doesn't clear as smooth either.
Last thing...find one that's
plain-clear-glass...so you can see whats going on inside & clear the chamber as soon as it fills, for the smoothest, easiest results!!
Cheers
