New cart, new solution, any insight?

[saxbari]

Hi there. I am pretty new to this still. Should any of you be so inclined, I would certainly appreciate your input. I have included pictures. So - I have a new cart. The first couple that I had were .5 mL carts. They contained 400 mg. They were like a dark golden honey color. There was no crystallization evident in either of them. My new one is a full gram in what I presume is a 1 ml cart. It is much darker in color, and looks to be experiencing some crystallization, as seen in the photo. I have a question. It is: what is the technique for getting these crystals to be reabsorbed into the solution? From what I understand, applying some kind of low heat can accomplish this, if it is applied for several minutes. If this is correct, what is the best method and temperature? I was going to ask another question, pertaining to how I should approach this stronger one, but I think I already know the answer.. try going at it at a lower dose before increasing. I'm very interested in trying progressively larger doses than what I worked up to before, but of course there are different parameters so I should maybe start a little slower first and then ramp it up. I have less fear than I did before, but still have some apprehension. This cart was tried by somebody first, so it is safe. It is so much darker! I think it may be conducive to a more intense experience. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Good day Saxbari, there are few ways to reverse crystallization, you can use an hairdryer and blow on it or place it in a ziplock bag and submerge in to the warm water bath for a few minutes. If none of that options are available you can try and gently heat up the cart with the lighter. As soon as it becomes liquid make sure you shake the cart well so the spice and vape liquid mix properly. As for the temperature, when making the carts, the spice is placed in small glass container in a water bath so I reckon any temperatures around 80c should work well with no potential damage to the spice. Just make sure you don't over heat it and shake as this carts tend to leak, I have found that ratios of VG/PG also contribute to re crystallization since your cart is already pre made you can't have much control over that. Have successfully made 800mg carts that works well I prefer full ceramic Ccell for best flavor and consistency. As for the darker color can be that the cart is a little older they tend to go slightly red after a while, or that there was some color left with the spice in the first place, yellow to white. It is always the best practice making it yourself. I hope this helps a bit and you enjoy the journey.

Turns out that the cart doesn't work anyway... Too bad! I was all set... Down at the beach, an hour before sunset, thinking away at a brand new spot... I was a lot more nervous I anticipated... A lot more nervous than I anticipated, but I was really looking forward to it... And it didn't work! Who knows, maybe it was just as well, as I have certainly thought a great deal more since then, and experienced a great deal of growth. I think there may be something to the notion that spice makes itself available to us when it is appropriate. However, I now have this full gram of DMT solution trapped in my non-functioning vape cartridge. I am going to supposedly have it replaced soon, but - if this does not happen, is there a way to get this stuff out of there without destroying it on the process? I'm not going to do it right away, I am going to wait and work on it being replaced, but if it doesn't happen, can this be extracted from the cart and put into a new one without the spice being wrecked? Any input would be appreciated. All the best, and thank you in advance for your input.
