DMT oil residue after burning

[shufflelot]

SWIM noticed after burning their first extraction a fair bit of brown oil residue was left over, that would solidify when cold and melt under heat, but not burn. Unfortunately what did vaporize was so harsh they coughed it out and experienced only discontent. The extract was a pale yellow and very fluffy, from MHRB using STB. Is this normal or perhaps signs of a bad extraction? There was no post cleaning/recrystalization, perhaps that was the mistake made? Should note also 70mg was used, the entire extract weighing in at .5 g from 50g MHRB.

maybe you are using too much heat and burning your spice? which would also explain the harshness

how are you smoking?

I would recommend a vaporgenie for the smoothest dmt vapour.. otherwise a water bong sandwhiched between thick layer of ashes or thin layer of herbs

remember to keep the fire away from the dmt, just close enough so the flame starts getting sucked in but not touching the dmt

take sloooooooooooooooow long puffs.. when you feel you are about to cough, stop puffing, rather breath a bit of cold air (and if you can continue puffing to finish filling the lungs, do it, otherwise just keep holding that in the lungs for at least 10-20 seconds, and go for next hit.. 50mg (plus maybe the herbs if you do it with herbs) should be good for, say, around 3 lungfulls, so dont stop after the first one

a) if you haven't already recrystalize your spice. Yellow spice leaves behind A LOT of oils that burn

b) use less heat when smoking spice, if it turns brow you are overheating it.

c) clean out your pipe/vape after every/every other use. Naphtha, heptane, IPA, denatured alcohol, or even some clear spirits (vodka, white rum, etc..) will work, that and a q-tip. Left over burnt oils will mess up your next launch. I try and smoke everything I put in my vape (when I use it which is rare now-a-days), and it gets cleaned out each and every time. Those burnt oils will smoke up quickly and ruin your clean spice experience...

d) If all else fails, use a bong/pipe (leaf bed method or ash/leaf bed) or buy the vapor genie, it apparently works quite well for spice.

the entire extract weighing in at .5 g from 50g MHRB.

This seems to be a very good yield. 1% yield is very good and congratulations if this is pure, however it is more than likely not. :? (apologies if it is pure)

I recommend that you recrystallize your DMT, as one problem you might have with the smoke being harsh is that you are burning plant oils that has been extracted as well as the DMT by the NPS.

Here is a link to another topic that has a video on recrystallization posted by SWIMfriend. Here is the Link: Recrystallization (Recrystallization is the 9th video)

By recrystallizing and removing any precipitate that does not dissolve, you are removing impurities, making your final product purer, and possibly smoother to smoke.

Hope this helped. :d

Thanks for the advice! A crack pipe and tinfoil on top to keep the smoke in was used,holding the lighter about an inch beneath the glass and moving it slowly. at first it would melt and then nothing, and then slowly start filling with smoke, not sure if it burned or not, the tinfoil was a bit loose and SWIM panicked and inhaled too fast. I have a feeling it is dirty, full of oils which I suppose is what the residue was, will check out the recrystalization video thanks. Was considering the vapogenie, rigged up the crackpipe to a small water bong for next attempt, SWIMS lungs are a bit sensitive

BTW the colder the water in the water bong, the smoother the smoke tends to be. (I dissolve a few ice cubes in my bong water before lighting up) :d

Just thought i would help your sensitive lungs out.
