First time user. And I have several questions.

[Kuroth]

So I’ve never tried DMT but always wanted to. I’m planning on maybe trying it for the very first time in the next few months. I had a few questions.


I have a Sherlock GVG pipe that I will use.

My questions.

I live alone and don’t really have anyone. I trust to be a sitter. I’ve read where they suggest you have a sitter. Will I be OK doing it alone?


I won’t jump out my window or walk out of my room naked or anything will I lol

Having a hot pipe and using a lighter. Well, I have time to set those down? I don’t wanna end up burning myself or catching my bed on fire.

Smoking it this way in a Sherlock pipe how long does the experience usually last. I’ve read a few minutes?

Is the experience all closed eyes. Or do you have your eyes open the whole time.

I assume with the Sherlock pipe I just take one big giant inhale? Or will I have to take several inhale?


Well, that’s all of the questions I can think of now. Thank you for any input. You can give me to my questions. And also if you have any other information, I need to know.


Thanks

For me, I'd recommend sitting in a comfy chair, set your self up so you have somewhere to put your pipe down safely, have a Glass of water or a drink too.

I started with a glass pipe and a jet lighter and I made sure I had a little tray to put the hot things down on so I didn't either burn myself or set something alight!

You will be just fine all by yourself, you won't be running around naked once the DMT hits, you'll be sat pretty still. Some shakes can be normal so just let them come out if they start.
Open and closed eye experiences are both valuable, a blind fold / eye mask can help you go deeper with less DMT.

Take your Pipe hit, usually a long slow inhale, Hold it in while taking a drink, and relax, let go..... its the speed that reality changes that is the SHOCK, the destinations are beautiful, love, peace and welcoming.

Good luck and be sure to report back.

And remember start low and go slow, you can always take more hits and re-enter the space again and again. I started with a badly weight 5 milligrams and got pretty far with that, but you'll have to experiment and find your own levels.

 

[Kuroth]

Thank you for your detailed answers.. That makes me feel better..

Can you tell me the avg time the experience usually lasts on average?

 

[WallyG]

In my experience the peak lasts about 5 minutes but there's a pleasant come-down that lasts another 20 mintes or so, gradually fading out.

 

[TransistorBass]

You’ll be in and out in 5-10mins, and the afterglow from your first experiences is also well worth the initial shock.

As someone new to this, I can absolutely guarantee that you will not be running anywhere on DMT

Some of the other users who left comments in this thread have far more experience than me, but based on my limited time with DMT, I find that DMT has an incredible power to lock you right into place. You might even find it effortful to remember that you have the option to close your eyes, at least that's coming from my experience.

I also considered a Sherlock pipe, but I was concerned that it may be a fire hazard, especially when doing it alone, so I'd actually be curious to hear from the others how they manage this aspect. I settled for a vape, vapes are safer, more reliable and consistent, but apparently harder to break through on.

 

[Perihelic lunacy]

from my personal experience, so take this with a grain of salt, but:
-you won't be running anywhere. Or walking anywhere. Standing up in any capacity is pretty much off the table, for that matter.
-you will be able to put your lighter and pipe down while you are holding your breath. I'd make sure somewhere safe to put them is close at hand, though.
-Is "Sherlock pipe" some terminology I don't know, or are you talking about an actual, big-ass, meerschaum pipe? either way, you should be able to see reality again in 5-10 minutes, after 20 you should be completely back to normal.
-It makes literally no difference if your eyes are open or closed. It will be incomprehensible and you probably wont know if they were open or shut after the fact.
-Seriously, please explain the nature of this Sherlock pipe, because I'm picturing you in a deerstalker blasting off and mumbling about finding clues. But i actually don't know. I use, and would recommend you invest in, a vape pen for it. Guarantee there'll be a thread somewhere on here for good, cheap options.

Seriously, please explain the nature of this Sherlock pipe

Sherlock pipe is usually a pipe shaped in a similar way than Sherlock Holmes' one. It's the name often given to the Glass Vapor Genie pipe aka the GVG.

 

[Kuroth]

Thanks everyone for the great input. It really helps. Yes I have read here and lots of other sites that the Sherlock GVG is up there as one of the best devices to use for DMT.

Thread 'BEST DMT SMOKING DEVICES'

Feb 25, 2012

Can someone provide a list of the best devices used for smoking - I am not a smoker (hate the burning in lungs n throat) but have tried the volcano a few times which is smooth.

I need a device which is not as expensive that is possible portable (ideal) the smaller the better but if not no worries.

This is my first post so go easy if this question has been asked - I know some forums the members are like lions lol

Cheers

But I am open to other suggestions...

it was suggested to me to start at 5mg and go up 5mg at a time until i get the "desired effect"
dose is the most important factor and accurate scales are essential.
for me 25 mg is perfect.

How do you measure that small of a milligram? I have a really good expensive scale that works great. But it only measures down to 10 mg. I guess I could eyeball it and just split it in half or something.

Weeellll… More than once I've been grasped by an urgent need to urinate immediately after blasting off, so standing up is just about possible if you really put your mind to it. Doing so is rather reminiscent of what it must be like learning how to drive a robot suit, so I'm glad I managed to stay stood up during and after peeing.

The main message here is to make sure you've emptied your bladder before embarking on your DMT journey, unless you're happy peeing on yourself/in your pants.

There's volumetric dosing, where you dissolve a carefully weighed and recorded amount in a precisely measured volume of benign solvent, typically ethanol, and use a graduated pipette to measure out doses based on the amount of mg per mL in the solution. One thing to be wary of there is solvent evaporation, which may cause the last couple of doses to be significantly stronger through diminution of solvent volume. If the solvent is hygroscopic, the opposite effect may come into play, albeit in a more limited fashion.

i bought expensive and cheap scales which measure in milligrams.
the cheap one ($25) is about on par with the expensive one ($110).
i would recommend NOT eyeballing it, im sure that is the cause of many a "bad trip"
even though they will happen anyway, best practice is to know what the load amount is, that way you will have a baseline

 

[iownme]

this works pretty well for the price

 

[Kuroth]

That scale gets a lot of good reviews and a lot of bad reviews.. The makers must have a QA issue, and it's hit or miss if you get a good one.. But for the price, I will try it out..

Thanks!

 

[DexterMTripp]

Here was my first trip experience and the rig I used. I’ve since realized that the wings on the screen are unnecessary. I’ve also bought the smaller one battery model since then. Same setup though with the screen.

I can imagine that not having help to light the glass, while already being nervous and perhaps putting too much heat on it could lead to a bad experience.

With my rig it’s all in the setup. Once you get the measured amount on the screen you give it a quick click to melt the DMT and then you’re ready to go for two puffs. I suppose adding it to a tank may be even easier but I’ve never done that. I’ve never tried another method. This was pretty plug and play for me.

I have the same scale it it's been doing well for me. At that price point, all scales of such a precision will be hit or miss. I think it's worth the gamble, since you could miss on 1 out of 2 or 3 and still come out ahead. That said, it may be worth spending a little more for peace of mind--the choice is yours based on what your personal values are.

i simply weight it multiple times. (3-5) to make sure its correct.
i have 2 small same weight squares of card which i tare out then weigh, then tap the spice onto the other card and weigh that.
a difference of an extra 2- 3mg is massive (to me)
i find my expensive one is so sensitive i cannot use it with the heat or ac on as the air blowing anywhere near it throws it off.
i used that in the beginning but now i prefer the cheaper one

i agree, lighting gvg's and bowls with a flame is for the ultra experienced !
im like you... plug n play though i use a totally different vaporizer

 

[new_science]

Looks like I used the wrong word in my previous post: I said precision when I should have said accurate. Ideally we want both, however an accurate scale (giving a number close to the true amount) is better than a precise scale (a scale that shows the exact same number for a given mass repeatedly).
