SWIM just can't seem to breakthrough!

[gratefulfloyd]

A few things to consider
1. Hold your hits in for as long as possible, 10 seconds minimum (This really makes a difference)
2. Hold your lighter away from the spice, you are supposed to vape it not let it burn by torching it.
3. Try, try, and try again.

swim usually holds for 30+secs minimum, when using xtals, only uses a crack style vape or gets the changa to glow then removes the flame and sucks hard to no break through success. tho has a hell of alota fun. and he started off with over 10g from his last extraction now has none. yes, half was shared with friends, but still,4-5g to himself? oh well... one day...

Consider buying a vaporgenie or building a machine.

i'd love to but vaporgenies are so dam expensive. not to mention kinda rare-ish here in my neck of the woods. have to look into how to build a machine

CHRISTO!

I have some good advice for you, since i have the same problem regarding throat / coughing, even with a vaporizer! I find that my throat is very sensitive to spice, and the more I try to take, the more it feels like it's "closing up" and rejecting it!
HERE IS THE SOLUTION...
go to your nearest pharmacy, and buy some "SORE THROAT SPRAY" make sure it says "anesthetic" on the label (should contain Phenol). Spray this on your throat, gargle it a bit, wait a few minutes, NOW try taking dmt hits!
I was SOOOOO surprised when I loaded a huge bowl, and was able to clear it in ONE HIT without any discomfort, something I could never have imagined doing before getting the spray!

However, I'm in the same boat as you, I haven't been able to breakthrough for some reason, not sure about my body. I may have tolerance to it. Latest session started out with 30mg - nothing intense, felt happy, carpet was alive. Then did 50mg soon after, slight colourful OEV patterns in the room about 50% opacity, no CEV's - then about 10-20 minutes after that, did 80mg, no effects whatsoever. I was sitting there and looked over to my friend and said ... "Wow...i'm still here, was kind of expecting SOMETHING with that huge of a dose..."
Pretty weird, might take a break from it all for a while. Probably need to START OFF with 80mg dose.

Do you have any pain issues ? I suffer from chronic pain (and I don't take opiates anymore) and have a HUGE tolerance (and I use a GVG).
However strong changa can usually defeat the tolerance, have you tried it?

No, that's the thing Justine, I don't really have any pain issues. I was a little more sensitive to it a few months ago, and slowly I've noticed my sensitivity going down since then ( funny because with time I've gotten over my fears and anxiety of spice, so before I started doing small doses to test the waters, now when I'm actually trying to reach hyperspace I can't seem to do it ).

Well, I'm using this as a kind of wake up call to get back in shape. I think that's one of the main things that I've let go recently, so I'm just gonna stay in the mindset that the spirits won't let me in unless I get my health back up and overall have a better body balance.

I will try to make some changa though and see how well that works. Thanks for the suggestion!

ok i admit i havent read all the replies so i might be repeating someone here but i just wanted to put my 2 cents in, first 1/2 match stick = not a break through, theres no harm in putting too much in the bowl you just wont finish it but it will be easier to break through, swims (foolproof)"non technical" way is as follows, aquire a normal pipe or bong device (not a freebase or vape type) get some combo of mild herbs swim recomends from the following list: mullien, uva ursi, tulsi, mint, blue lotus, mugwort,passion flower....swim likes making special mixtures but aside from that mullien is the best all around good texture, smooth smoke, and helps absorption by the lungs...moving on start with a hefty bed on bottom of so so as spice melts it goes into herbs as aposed to in the pipe then sprinkle spice on top and put another hefty layer of herbs on top to avoid burning the spice (this is often refered to as the sandwich technique)..then proceed to smoke as you would marajuana...if you want get even a bit more technical light the top just enough to get it cherried then cover the top of bowl and release the carb, this will result in a long slow toke with lots of air mixed in so no more harsh coughing problems...when lungs are comfortably full hold as long as possible...ussually the first toke is just getting the spice melted in and aquinting your body the the feeling then second toke is blast off...if you are able feel free to take the 3rd toke it is very rare that anyone can take a 4th

swim just made some changa with damiana, roughly 65%dmt and red hamala. I know red hamala has unknown activity from what i'm read, but cant hurt ya?
Hopefully finally swim will blast off!
