So I'm fairly certain I broke through for the first time, 1:1 ratio enhanced leaf with passion flower in a bong. On the 4th hit, holy hell, I was gone and felt like I didn't exist, no breathing or anything and was pretty sure I died. Kinda freaked out for a second, but then remember it being peaceful but the strange thing is I don't really remember anything other than being in a time warp.

it definitely sounds like you had a breakthrough, but not the full experience. I have not had the opportunity to experience dmt but I’ve read countless trip reports (which I know is not enough to even come close to understanding the experience itself, but I still want to help ) and I’ve seen many reports of people “breaking through the breakthrough” (which I understand it as, getting to the end of the time warp/tunnel or something of that nature, but everybody has different experiences so that may not be true for all). From what you posted it would seem your preferred method is conduction, but I would suggest maybe looking at some convection methods for better results? That is, if you persist to fall short of the full experience.

Peace & Love

this has happend to me at my first DMT experience. This is now about 3 years back. Loaded ca. 80mg under some ash and plant matter into my bong and hit it. First there were many klicking sound in my head, as if any tension has left nearly instant...then my mind was gone, ego-death...white out.. After some time i dropped back - the first forms and Images appeared and my mind came back. My first thought was: OMG if this stays like this i will never ever need anything more to alter my conciousnes.. xD

I do have a GVG but the two times I used it just experienced great fractals but that's all. Maybe it's time to move above 40mg freebase.
