Hey guys,
I know there have been numerous topics discussing the machine - shapes, sizes, techniques, etc..
That being said, I do not mean to repeat any of these. I have thoroughly searched through all of the search results. I have used the same machine since my first steps in hyperspace. It is a machine made out of a hennessy bottle, as pictured here:
I've played around with techniques some - with mostly good results. However, my last experience was...harsh. Tasted horrible - not that it usually tastes good, but it was different. I was also unable to get a large enough dose to break through...couldn't find the sweet spot, and just kept hitting it. In my state I might have accidentally lit the steel wool a little - hence the harshness and taste. Aside from my concerns about breathing in steel wool vapors, I was mostly curious as to what changed since my last experience.
I'd say i've used it about 15 times total. There is a pretty good amount of crystallized spice, and dark black residue on the inside of the glass.
I'm wondering if I should replace the steel wool, or make an entirely new machine? It seems wasteful to make a new one as there is the aforementioned crystallized spice - but it would be worth it if it meant breaking through and not inhaling steel wool.
Would love some advice from anyone with machine experience.
Thanks! Hope this finds you all well.
