I've never tried a volcano for DMT, but if you're looking for a good pipe I would recommend the glass vapor genie. It's expensive, about $120, but well worth it. And if you don't drop it or lose it, I don't see any reason why it won't last for many years.

As for the "picture pattern waiting room," I think you have to smoalk more, and more quickly. With the GVG you can easily clear 30+ milligrams in one or two very condensed inhalations.

I began my experimentation with a "crack pipe," and this is just not the tool for the job. Unless you have an unusually solid technique, you waste a lot of product with a "crack pipe." Some claim that this is a sound method, but for me it pails in comparison to the GVG.

Good luck
