DMT e-juice dosage and mixture recommendations

[reun]

Greetings everyone!

I'm a newbie preparing for my first journey and I'm looking for your advice.

I will be using an STB tek described here -- you'll find that the demonstrator combined DMT freebase with PG before loading it into a vape cartridge. The demonstrator suggested trying PG: DMT proportions between 1:1 to 1:3, so it would get quite potent. I understand that getting the right mix is important for multiple reasons, namely:

• Balancing between increasing your likelihood of breaking through and suffering from a whiteout (which I understand is highly unlikely with vapes anyway)
• Dealing with crystalisation management -- freebase DMT is fussy and it can recrystalise inside a vape cartridge (not the end of the world, but unpleasant)
• Making the smoke more pleasant to inhale -- I think this is the primary reason to introduce a bit of vegetable glycerine in addition to propylene glycol
• Increasing the shelf life of the mixture (although to be honest I'm not entirely sure about this part)
• Ensuring that the mixture is spread more evenly across the cartridge

With all this in mind, I would love to hear your recommendations for someone who is cooking up an e-juice for the first time. More specifically:

• How much DMT would you recommend loading up into a cartridge? I'm a little concerned that I may screw up the mixture the first time, so I'd like to start with small batches. I was planning to start with 500 mg of DMT.
• What should be the ratio of carrier liquid to DMT freebase inside the cartridge? The video I shared above suggests trying 1:3 (3 times more DMT than carrier liquid), which feels heavy-handed based on my research. I was planning to start with 1:1.
• What carrier liquid composition can you recommend? I was planning to create a PG:VG mixture with a ratio of 4:1.
• Do you recommend converting DMT freebase into citrate by adding citric acid? I was considering throwing about 225 mg of it in hopes of preventing crystallisation
• Is there anything else that I may have missed here? Any other recommendations?

It is also worth noting that I'm expecting to be using this mixture in a 1ml ceramic vape cartridge with a screw-on mouthpiece, and I'll be using a Yocan KODO Pro 510 thread battery.

Thank you in advance!
