I've had a few misfires lately with what should have been powerful experiences - and the vapor has been tasting a little harsh on the back of my throat, as if its being overheated. So I am wondering whether it is possible that when the filter loosens in the lid over time (which has been the case with both my GVG's) that it may let too much heat in? recently gave a friend some dmt infused leaf and it seemed to burn and glow red.. even with the ceramic filter lid on top. the product that came out was smoke rather than vapor..
the other night had around 60-70mg of spice melted into the vaporgenie liquid concentration pad.. the ceramic filter lid was on.. but it still seemed to be burning. effects were threshhold and my throat felt quite sore afterwards..
Has anybody had similar experiences?
[edit: the "spice" could in fact be something else.. it was presumed to be dmt due to forming flat circular crystals after evap.. was from floribunda which I usually find pretty fruitful but it could be variable in alkaloid composition.. this issue with the genie still persist when using infused leaf preparations though]
