Difficulty swallowing/harsh on throat?

Migrated topic.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I just smoked it for the first time after extracting from MHRB using Cyb's tek. The crystals were very clear/white as opposed to yellowish, probably because I didn't apply quite as much heat during the process, resulting in a slightly purer product albeit lower yield.

Anyway, I used a glass VG for my first time with the liquid pad. The pads sold by VG are slightly too small for their own pipe, so you have to flatten them out a bit in order to get a tight fit. I loaded 20mg directly onto the pad and reapplied the glass bushing with ceramic filter. I did not use any additional screens - just the one that comes pre-loaded in the pipe.

I used a torch lighter and held the the visible part of the flame about 1-1.5 inches from the ceramic filter for a few seconds. Vapor started to form in the pipe and I inhaled while still applying the flame to the filter. It was so harsh that I couldn't hold it in my lungs for more than a couple of seconds. I exhaled, coughed, and set the pipe and lighter back onto the table. I felt like I was being launched into space while melting into my chair, but I was quickly distracted by the harsh feeling in my throat and the difficulty I was having swallowing, so I couldn't bring myself to take another hit. The visuals were mild and lasted only about 30 seconds when my eyes were closed (very faint blue/purplish symmetrical swirls). The entire experience lasted only about 4 minutes.

Do you think I burned the product or should I have forced myself to take another hit? Should I use a bic instead of a torch lighter? Or maybe there was too much lye in the final product?

DMT is polymorphic, it has pure forms which are yellow as well as translucent.

And:

Translucent DMT does not indicate purity, NaOH, solvent impurities, and other contaminants are also translucent and may not be visually detectable.

I highly recommend the thread in the link above.

Misc. Information regarding polymorphic properties of DMT:
The free base products were dissolved at room temperature using minimal amounts of either hexane or acetonitrile until further dissolution was not observable. The solvent of each solution was evaporated at room temperatures under a gentle stream of nitrogen, giving samples W1, W2, Y1 and Y2. DMT samples W1 and W2 were predominantly white crystals obtained using crystallization from hexane; whereas yellow DMT samples Y1 and Y2 were obtained following crystallization with acetonitrile. Samples W1 and Y1 were crystallized from DMT prepared by organic synthesis, while samples W2 and Y2 were from DMT isolated from the bark of M. tenuiflora. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0026265X13000544
