It's hard to say which is more intense, really. vaporized DMT is like free-fall, instant launching into outer-space. It's way more confusing than the longer lasting entheogens.

Oral DMT at good doses have left me biting into my blanket and screaming into it to muffle the sounds, wanting to explode out of joy or due the epiphany I was experiencing. It#s really hard to say which is more intense.

What's clearly more intense is the come-up with vaporized DMT. It's so fast it scares me. With oral you sort of wade into it. With vaporized you just suddenly find yourself in it without even remembering how you got there.

@ZenSpice, with the GVGs a lot of users swear by warming the whole pipe up a bit before using it - this reduces the condensation of dmt vapor on the glass. Perhaps you can try this with your machine as well. vaporizing 40mg and not breaking through just seems strange to me. For me 30-33mg do the trick if I manage to inhale them all in one go.
