I read every report and I thought it was rather ironic how that many people couldn't lift off.
A bunch of exxperienced people decide to blast off at once and most can't do it? Seems strange.
Not so strange...like I said before, vaporizing DMT takes some practice, there is a technique to learn...
your technique.
To tell you the truth, especially if you are smoking by yourself (
meaning there isn't anyone else there, to help you with heating the pipe correctly etc... ), most people will end up misfiring & only reach
just short of a full breakthrough, more often than not.
If you have someone there to light the 2nd, 3rd, 4th.... tokes for you, this can be less of an issue. Of course they have to have a good heating technique too, or else they'll just burn it anyway.
Not that there is anything wrong with a sub-breakthrough dose, BTW!!
The effects experienced on a sub-breakthrough dose are wonderful in their own right!!
Nothing to shake a stick at by any means, but there is a point where it no longer seems like...
"effects"...but more like you've literally "
broken into" another dimension, or existence & you are there, for real!!
There are a lot of different ways to vaporize DMT that are much easier & way more reliable than using a "meth" style glass bulb pipe!
Everyone seems to have a method that works better
for them than all the others, so you may want to try a few of them.
I prefer to use a piece of Brillo (
metal mesh, ala' crackpipe...:? ), stuffed into the bowl of a bubbler-type herb pipe or small bong, with just enough
room temp water in there to make it bubble when inhaling through it.
Search for "the Machine" for the original idea & concept of using the Brillo as a vaporization medium.
The metal mesh of the Brillo not only holds the oil perfectly, it also allows the oil to flow over the mesh when it "runs" from the heat source,
without being able to get away from it. While doing this, it is also vaporizing it for you, very clean & efficiently & providing extremely smooth, tasteless vapor!! (
if done right!)
Here is a link to a thread with a good, detailed explanation of how to do this correctly.
The whole thread is actually about different smoking methods, you should give the whole thing a good reading!!
This is another one, once again this whole thread is about this same issue!!
Check 'em both out! They each have some info the other doesn't.

I was under the impression that shillae was how most people smoke DMT, is this not true? Or is it true but also the least effective?
That's the way a lot of people try it
the first time for some reason (
myself included
), probably having more to do with the classic Terrence McKenna reports & explanations, than actual usage though.
At the same time, some people have
their best results using a glass bulb pipe.
But for most people it is just way too easy to burn up the spice instead of just vaporizing it...
correctly.
And it's nearly impossible to get a good 3rd hit for sure, by yourself.
Once the effects of the first hit start to warp & stretch my vision, I can never tell how close the flame is to the bowl...much less where a clear oil actually is, inside that bowl!!:lol:
DMT melts at around 100-120F degrees, vaporizes at around 140F & then starts to burn at around 160F!! (
I think those are the correct numbers. If not, it's right around there...)
So you've only got a small window of vaporization before it starts to burn.
When it burns, the taste gets
much worse, the vapor becomes very,
very harsh & you
loose a good amount of the intended dose to being burned up!!
So some practice
is in order!
Let me know if you have any other questions!!
