Tried a DMT vape, terrible experience

Hi, I just got home from the cottage. Buddy of mine had a little vape thingy that was DMT. I had smoked some from a bong twice before, but didn't really get much effect - just some mild visual/perspective changes.

So I took a big damn hit on the vape, thinking "let's get this right with a strong dose!" First ten seconds, nothing. Then I started to feel a bit of a loss of focus, and I knew it was coming. Ten more seconds, and it hit hard. Extreme loss of focus - I could still see everything, but it was useless to try and use my eyes for anything because of the massive disorientation.

I told my friend I feel a little nauseous, and then that also ramped up instantly and I had no chance to try and fight the sudden and violent vomiting that tore itself out of me.

I was always still present, mentally, on the cottage deck, crouching and clutching the railing and staring at nothing. I could speak with my friends, but it took a little extra effort because of the overwhelming disorientation. I was able to get someone to grab me paper towels to wipe my face from the puke. I was also suddenly sweating profusely and ditched my hat and shirt.

Over the next ten or fifteen minutes, I just waited for my focus to return and ease back to normal. I had a headache for the rest of the day.

So.... that really really sucked, and I'm disappointed because I wanted revelations, or at least vivid hallucinations. I got neither, not even slightly.

I probably "did it wrong" because I didn't prepare a setting, and I had some weed and alcohol in my system. It was 100% awful, with not even the slightest redeeming quality of fun visuals or slight revelation. Just extreme disorientation and the most violent and sudden vomiting ever.

Also, those vapes tend to be too weak to deliver a one-hit breakthrough. Plus the purity and quality of the material are unknown. Best to extract your own, there's a lot of info here on that and people willing to help.

Using your eyes, attempting to communicate, etc. will only make it worse. It's actively resisting the experience. It's much better to close your eyes and let go.

Don't expect it to be a walk in the park, it can get much much more challenging than just disorientation (normal) and vomiting. Even though psychedelics can be fun, they can be many other things too. At least you only got some annoying symptoms this time (and disorientation is to be expected if you keep your eyes open) instead of some hellish experience.

What do you seek in DMT or psychedelics in general?

Something beyond the material, I guess? I'm intrigued by the stories I hear of similar experiences between people who have never met, describing perception of reality that's beyond what we get from our senses.

It's not entirely unheard of, so it may well have been a byproduct of your alcohol + weed intake. Even so, I'd be distinctly suspicious of this happening with any product that hadn't been extracted either by myself or someone whom I could trust 1001%.
 
In my experience, not with vaped DMT for most people. A subset of people do seem to vomit. I have known people who vape and have to run to the washroom seconds after.
 
It has happened to me too, with my own spice. Idk why it happened exactly but I chalked it up to being dehydrated, and maybe blood sugar was off or something. I also suspected that maybe the volcano bag I was vaping it out of was getting contaminated with old spice and making it taste worse than it should. The physical disorientation is probably what kicks it off though. It might be psychological in that once you acknowledge the nausea and rapid disorientation, you subconsciously decide better safe than sorry and purge.

I've also read about a technique to dissolve DMT into vape juice that involves HPBCD. I'm not sure how prevalent it is, but HPBCD toxicity can cause disruptions to the ear fluids that give you sense of balance. But even without HPBCD nausea could happen.

That's definitely not fun or enlightening, and is embarrassing, but it's not the norm. I'd suggest doing it while reclined to limit the disorientation.
