That's pretty cool!
So simple really.
Someone towards the beginning of this thread mentioned having ordered a nebulizer to try with DMT, I forget who it was though.
So did it show up yet?
Have you tried it yet?
How'd it work?
Except for the initial price being rather high, I am thinking that using a nebulizer could be quiet the revolution in taking DMT in through the lungs!!
WS
antrocles has received his nebulizer today--and thinks it looks cool. He has some stuff he's involved in for the next week or two that keeps him from experiementing with it...but I gave some suggestions on what he should work with first. Most importantly: I emphasized with him to please be careful:
ONLY PURE DMT and DISTILLED WATER in very SMALL AMOUNTS should be tried at first.
Below I'll reprint the relevant contents of a PM I just sent to antrocles on what I think are the ideal first experiements with the nebulizer.
#1: I want to know what it's like to inhale SIMPLE WATER VAPOR. Might it affect breathing? Give you some sort of "watery lung" feeling? Etc. So, I'd like to see the simple experiment of nebulizing about 10 drops of distilled water (of course STOPPING if anything feels wrong!). I would (1) Swish some 70% alcohol around the nebulizer medicine chamber to help sterilize--70% sterilizes better than 100%, btw (and, of course, read and be fully aware of similar suggestions with the nebulizer instructions) (2) Make sure the distilled water is clean!! Please no chugging out of the bottle and then loading up the same water into the nebulizer!
With this experiement I want to find out:
1) How many seconds does it take to nebulize 10 drops? You can just nebulize into the air when doing this.
2) By whatever means (pouring out?), how many drops FAIL to nebulize, and remain in the chamber.
3) Do some inhalations and see how it feels.
No matter how quickly the nebulizations take, I'd also like to do the following:
1) Get a clean 2 liter soda bottle and cut a small hole in the bottom to act as a "carb."
2) See if you can fill the bottle with nebulizer mist through the regular neck of the bottle. (experiement whether it's best to cover or uncover the hole on the bottom when filling.
3) See if it will work to "resevoir" the mist in this way, and then inhale all at once (making single hit dosing possible). HOWEVER, I suggest you start with SMALL AMOUNTS--I wouldn't try to BEGIN with inhaling the mist from all 10 drops at first. I THINK it would be OK, but let's work up from only 2-3 drops.
#2 Making DMT-acetate.
1) Unless you feel your spice is ULTRA-PURE (i.e., you happen to be a purity FANATIC), I suggest you do a final ROOM TEMP wash and recrystallization using the technique that warrensaged describes
here (see his items 4&5).
2) According to 69ron (and it makes chemical sense to me),
DMT-HCl or
DMT-acetate are both made by the same process, simply add sufficient HCl or vinegar to the freebase, and wait for the excess water, HCl or acetic acid to evaporate. You may need to store the final bit in a jar with plenty of silicon moisture absorbers--either DMT-HCl or -acetate tends to be hygroscopic--meaning it will absorb water from the air, and have a hard time crystalizing in air with any humidity.
3) When you get your HCl/acetate you can start experiementing, of course AGAIN starting out VERY SMALL (both in terms of how much DMT you use AND in terms in how many drops you use). You can also experiement with the "resevoir" technique to try to get single hit doses. In my mind, there is SIGNIFICANT REASON TO BELIEVE that significantly smaller doses from the nebulizer will be needed compared to vaporization. With vaporization there's little doubt in my mind that at least some oxidation occurs.
