How to Vape E-Juice - I've never vaped before

Ok then, I'm a Dry Herb Vaper but have never vaped e-juice before, I've got a Smok 22 with a 2ml tank which I'm hoping to have a go with this afternoon.
I'm wanting a gentle effect that I can build on and I'm currently pre-loading on Harmala seeds, some now before breakfast 300mg and I'll have some more before lunch 500mg.

Into 2ml of of PG how much DMT should I add (I'm thinking 500mg?
How many Puffs would 2ml last for and should it be 'Suck into the mouth' before inhaling or a constant 'long inhale'?

Bear in mind that I want a gradual effect i can try build on, I want to be on a Weather Balloon rather than a Rocket, and no need to break through anything simply a gradual rise.

I may start things off with a tiny hit on the glass pipe, currently I'm only experimenting with 5mg per hit like this so I will be starting lower than that with the Harmala seeds / MAOI in my system.

Thanks for any advice.
 
The inhaling should preferably be straight into the lungs, not into the mouth. You can practice first vaping some PG without anything added, but you'll see it's not difficult. Check that your device is fit for that (what they call "direct to lung").

As for the ratio, that depends on what you want. The ratio you say is probably good if you're going to be using harmalas and want it to be gradual, as it's very unlikely to be very strong with a single puff.

Thanks for that, I may have other technical problems before I manage this, I'm not sure the new Vape is charging (problem 1) and the seals for the glass tank won't assemble without being wonky (problem 2).
But yeah its got flow control on it so its ok to into mouth or straight to lungs.
 
Yeah, I kinda don't want to even want to put any juice in this and waste it.
Hopefully the vape shop will let me return it for a refund and I'll get something better.

Ended up having 800mg of Harmala seeds before lunch.
 
I've gone an ordered a proper Vape, a Geekvape Aegis Legend 3 Kit and some batteries (Obvs).
Fingers crossed this will be the right kit for some subtly spicy juice hits.
I'll probably follow the Minty calculator and mix the following to make 2ml (2.5ml with wick soak) to fill the tank: 500mg Spice, 1.2ml PG, 0.8ml VG

I think the tank provided with the kit you choosed is 5,5ml, which is not the most convenient. The Legend 3 kit is a little bit overkill, single battery is more than enough even with low impedance coils. We are not going to chase clouds 😄 Not a big problem though, just a heavy machine when a lighter one would have done the job. You still can order separately a more suitable clearomiser, like the one @blig-blug evoked, the Geekvape Z Nano 2. It is provided with a 2ml spare glass, which is, IMO, the most convenient capacity for this purpose. If I were you : get a Z Nano 2 + 0.2ohms coils. Make a 50%PG/50%VG juice with 1g DMT/2,5ml juice. Or any recipe you want. Vape at about 25w, more or less. Maybe start a little lower and increase gradually until you find the good spot without burning the spice.

There's no need for VG, it's up to personal preference. I don't really like VG, feels harsher to me.

Good to know, I was just using the calculator's default PG:VG ratio.
Any thoughts on whether I should add Citric Acid to tweak the pH?

I read lots and it said 2ml spare glass, though yeah, i agree maybe a single battery one would have been ok - its already ordered now anyway.
 
OK, so.... Vaping is a weird thing, its certainly not smoking or DHV or like a glass pipe. I might have to practice with it before adding DMT.
its kinda tickly on the throat.
 
So far...
  • I've learned to be very careful when assembling a vape, without me doing the 5 presses to turn it on it was already on as soon as the batteries went in and I toasted a bit of the cotton in the coil by accident.
  • I learned that once adding PG that bit of scorched cotton doesn't matter, though not ideal.
  • I learned that when the vape runs dry you get a puff of cotton smoke but when you refill and puff a few mouthfuls the smoke taste clears.
  • I learned that the airflow should be closed down quite far, just 2-3mm open at most.
Kinda glad I decided to learn this device before mixing up spicy juice! I've ordered a pack of new coils just to be safe.
