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!

Thank you for the links! And yes, if you could move my thread to the vaping section, that would be wonderful! I'm sorry, I'm still learning my way around this forum, I should have created there in the first place.

I tend to mix up 3ml of Juice:
PG 2.52ml + 500mg NN DMT (1:5 Ratio) - This was quite strong enough for me to have some entry level experiences.
PG 2.40ml + 600mg NN DMT (1:4 Ratio) - This is my regular mix, it gets me where I personally want to be.
PG 2.20ml + 800mg NN DMT (1:3 Ratio) - This one gets the Job done easier, a good steady 5 second hit can definitely open the door.
(to the 800mg DMT mix I also added 80-100mg Citric Acid to bring the juice to a more friendly pH so its less 'melty' on your lips, mouth and lungs)
If you find you like a bit of VG in the mix, you can substitute a small portion of the PG for VG, I sometime feel a bit of VG helps settle the vapour in the lungs better.

I've done a stronger mix by accident when I fixed a mix I'd put too much Citric Acid in by adding more DMT which I'm guessing has about 1g NN DMT and a 2-3 second hit really feels like its got the oomph to tip me right over and through the door without much effort. I'll hopefully get chance to play with this more in a week or two.

Thanks for sharing! That's interesting, so, a 1:1 mix is considered to be strong, right? As you may see in my original post, I suggested going as far as 1:3 where there is more DMT than PG, so I'm guessing that it's... not recommended? I saw this mentioned in one extraction tek, but perhaps I incorrectly assumed that DMT is the dominant ingredient, perhaps they meant 1:3 with PG: DMT, not the other way around!

For me starting I think the 600mg 1:4 mix is a nice place, not too strong to keep taking little 2-3 second hits and stay in our current reality with benefits, or take small pre-load hits then go in for a bigger hit to cross the line into something new.

For me at least, this is my experience, I'm only going to suggest things I know about.

I'm guessing a 1:1 is considered strong, I think I could get a 1-hit-breakthrough from a medium-to-big hit on a 1:1 mix as its very close on a 1:3 (For me at least, other user's experiences may vary)

It really depends on the device you're using and your intentions. 1g/2ml might be (too) strong if you use a fat sub-ohm tank (≥26mm at base) like Zeus Sub-ohm but weak if you use a small cartridge. 1g/2ml might be OK with a moderate size sub-ohm tank (22-24mm at base) like Z Nano 2. It's the kind of setup I prefer, the most versatile IME. It all also depends on what you want to do. If you want to blast off with minimal puffs intake, 1g/2ml with a fat sub-ohm tank is what you'll need. If you want to blast off with weak carts, go for 1g/1ml, but this kind of ratio tends to crystallize at room temp.
