honestly, I was going to see about getting a super accurate scale. I have a decent one, but I rather be on the safe side and be accurate.

I was planning on starting stupid small. maybe 10mg, and slowly work my way up by 5mg until I hit the controllable dose.

it was super smooth. all I did was pour it into the cup, warm it up until it melted, put the top back on, hold button until hit 180C, not harsh imo so was able to take a deep breath and hold. I believe I mightve took a smaller 2nd hit and still prob had smoke inside, and by then I was gone.

Reflecting back as much as I can, thats one of the biggest things that caused me to freak out. I was used to my bong attachment I made and working with the flame. the amount of smoke at once was never that much so instantly knew even with half the dose, i was about to go beyond what I've done in the past.

i know better than to resist, but somehow my consciousness wanted to stop the roller coaster ride but was too late.

plus a few other concerns so I def wasnt in the right set and setting and I paid for it.

when finally returned from dmt land, I was shaking from fear, my mouth was completely metallic from adrenaline, and instantly went to check my pulse.

1st attempt I actually got an error with the machine. 2nd attempt my blood pressure had spiked to fkn 233/135!

also I can tell this dose was way too much as first time I had deep open eyed hallucinations for almost an hour later? everything was moving like if I was on a 350ug of acid dose.

I think i still have left in the cup too btw. a nice brownish solidified puddle still remains. nothing seemed to get on anywhere else and very clean / tight fitting.

settings btw I have eleaf istick rim c? I have it set to temp Ni. 180C at 33W, ohm reads at .50-51

I didn't see an answer to this older question, but I think we may have a possible answer now.

Working hypothesis is that oily spice is "polymerized" or "aggregated" DMT. This may happen during the basisng steps of the extraction (could depend on DMT concentration, ionic strength, alkaline pH, time, temperature, etc).

How to convert orange oil to white fluff: Acidic treatment of the FB and a subsequent quick base step with mild conditions can make oily spice fluffy again. Idea is that the acid treatment breaks up the DMT aggregate, and the subsequent base treatment is minimal to avoid re-aggregation in water. Here is an example.

It makes sense that high temp open flame devices can deal with oily spice, while electronic (more precise + low temp) devices are more consistent with fluffy white xtals.
