Apologies if I get the terminology wrong; I’m a total noob in training 
.
So, I made my first batch from 50g of Acacia acuminata.
I tried this method (roughly)
I used heptane instead of Shellite. My results were poor, as I did everything cold and didn’t do multiple boils, I guess that explains why I ended up with so little. I just did 2 pulls with heptane, the first got it all, with nothing in the second pull. I got 176mg, which was less than I was hoping for, but the crystals were very white, possibly slightly pink after I scraped it together, with no goo.
I popped it into a vape pen with the ratio of 500mg DMT to 1 ml PG juice, which was just over a third of the 1 ml ceramic cartridge.
I did it last night while laying in bed; I took a couple of hits, holding the inhale for about 10 seconds or more; nothing on the first hit, but from the 2nd, I started to trip quite strongly; my first thought was awesome, It’s working, I made DMT!!! The trip was more intense with my eyes open; objects were changing and melting it was incredibly bizarre, the plain white cushion on my bed looked like it was orange felt fabric and it was in a pool of green goo; everything had a 70’s psychedelic vibe, I have never experienced such a strong visual trip compared to intense mushroom trips in the past. As I was smoking and holding for 10 seconds and more, I would forget to breathe out sometimes as I was tripping so hard, the trip would intensify, and I would keep taking hits. However, when I lay down, I still hadn’t broken through it would start to fade so I would take another hit even though the world was melting around me. I was tripping off my head, I remember people saying take another hit no matter how intense the current trip was, I would reach for the pen that was hard to see and take a hit as the trip was still intense, but the same cycle would happen, intense just around the inhale and hold. As I waited, it would wear off relatively quick.
I am currently on SSRIs for depression related to having cancer, and people mentioned it may not work because of them. I kept taking hits and tripping heavier, but I had no breakthrough. Then I started to get this uncomfortable headache and tightness behind my head and started shivering like crazy; it was pretty unpleasant. It didn’t feel right, and I thought it might be related to the SSRI, so after a while, I thought the shivering might be from too many hits, that maybe it was drawn out too long, I was losing count because I was tripping so hard, but it could have been 8 hits, the vape pen was hard to see, visuals were intense and surreal, I eased off as I was having doubts because of the SSRI’s. I waited for about 15 minutes until I felt normal again and tried again; still no breakthrough but I felt less off, so at least it was better, but I certainly wasn’t feeling terrific.
I noticed the smell, which I found somewhat unpleasant and smelt like chemicals or melting plastic; I wasn’t sure if it was because my vape had mainly PG but also VG. I also wondered if I should have used a flavour, it made me feel uneasy about the experience as I wasn’t sure if that was how it should smell.
I’ll try making more, but this time, I’ll do a heated stovetop/crockpot version. I might use Shellite for pulls and wash it after with heptane if I get goo.
It was a fantastic experience. I love intense triping, but the intense shivers and uncomfortable feelings affected the experience negatively as it drove doubts associated with SSRIs
I have some questions…
Thanks in advance for any help/tips; I am excited to have embarked on this wild adventure!

I have some questions…
- Has anyone experienced uncontrollable shivers and feeling off while doing it, even while under a blanket?
- Has anyone managed to experience a breakthrough while on SSRIs?
- Should it have an unpleasant smell, like melting plastic? Is it something you grow to like, or do you mask it?
- I have some very old Shellite in my garage. Does it degrade, or should I be okay with using it? I live in Australia and hear that Shellite is not the same quality as it used to be.
- I’m also thinking that I should try turning my vape up a bit and maybe try fasting in the morning. It was on low (baby steps), but I also thought something like a Vapor Genie might be a good idea. I had a look here: vaporgenie.com. I was wondering if they all work as well as each other, or should I go for the Glass Sherlock?
- Do people trip with their eyes open or close, or does it make any difference when you blast off?
