Hi all,
I'm new to this forum, and today I tried DMT for the first time. I'm looking for advice on how to get more out of my future trips.
For context, I extracted freebase DMT, I mixed 500 mg of it with about 0.5 mL of a mixture of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine. My PG:VG mix was 4:1 and I mixed the result 1:1 with melted DMT before loading into a vape. I have a Yocan Uni Pro vape, I used a 2.4 volt setting, and I made sure to pre-heat the cartridge.
I asked a friend to trip sit me for my first journey and I divided it into 2 stages. First I wanted to just get a taste of it with a 2 5-second pulls. I immediately felt dreamy, I felt like I could light trails from moving my head, I also noticed that everything in my peripherals began to melt. I was looking at an unassuming plant right in front of me and it quickly began to look somewhat unrecognisable. I felt like something significant was happening. I also felt almost spellbound to not speak or move. I don't know if I actually had it in me to speak, but I felt like I must not. And I felt... love. I had this profound sense that love is the ultimate force of nature, love is the reason absolutely anything exists, love is the ultimate creator. Then the experience ended.
This first attempt helped me calm my nerves. I felt like I got a little bit of a feel for the substance. I was awfully nervous the night before, so I needed this confidence boost.
45 minutes later, I had another attempt. This time I tried to go as far as I could. But it was not easy. I took my first hit and held the smoke in the lungs for 5 seconds. I released it over 2 seconds or so. I repeated the process once more. On the 3rd time, I found it very difficult not to cough, so I could not take as big of an inhale nor could I hold it in much longer. I ended up taking about 4 short puffs and that was about it. I ended up experiencing something similar to my first attempt, but to a greater extent. This time I was looking out my apartment window towards the city skyline, and all buildings began to sorta deconstruct into abstract layers. Again, I felt like something significant was happening. I felt connected to the universe. But that was it.
To be honest, if that was everything that DMT could offer, I would be pretty happy -- it was a beautiful experience. However, I understand that I haven't even scratched the surface. I would like to go much deeper next time -- ideally, I'd like to break through, but even getting a deeper threshold experience would be great. And this is where I would love to get your help.
I understand there are several variables involved:
Thank you so much

I understand there are several variables involved:
- DMT : PG ratios: I followed a video that recommended trying ratios of 1:1 to 1:3 where there'd be 3 times more DMT than PG/VG mixture, which would make it easier to break through, but it would also probably make it harder to smoke, not to mention that it would be harder to manage, since DMT would probably recrystalise inside the cartridge periodically
- Voltage: I used 2.4V, but maybe I should go higher -- would love to hear what you can tell me about that
- Inhalation: This is a hard one, but I think it matters a lot. I noticed that as soon as I started smoking, my heart started racing like crazy -- I guess I was just nervous, but it made it hard to consistently inhale. I'm also not sure how to manage the harsh smoke here. Any tips would be highly appreciated
Thank you so much
