Might work, but why bother? With a bit of practice you should have no issues with runny DMT. I think on its side will actually be worse because the DMT will all clump together in one spot, where it will more easily form a liquid drop. The best way to ensure that doesn't happen is grinding up the DMT a little bit and spreading it around evenly on top of your screens. I usually do a small inhalation to make sure all the DMT is melted into the screens, and then a second large inhalation to vaporize it all.
