Bad news bear. It's now confirmed that it was in fact the basic solution that causes the plastic parts of the tanks to start cracking. I have not been able to continue my tests with the tank today. It had been sitting safely in an upright position since the last time i used it and upon inspection the plastic near the top where the mouth piece is, small to large fractures are forming and have actually gotten worse in the last few hours.

On top of that the stamped atomizer I have either is garbage now or might be able to be cleaned. I do not know yet what happened but there is a strange harsh taste that comes from it as soon as it starts to heat up. The smell/taste is not of burnt DMT. This is still not confirmation that this method does not work, but it still stands that an E-cig device has only proven to be useful for low non-breakthrough doses.

I'm going to take some time to figure out what route to take next.
