Hi MantisShrimp, welcome!
to be honest, i have similar problems vaping freebase. The reason i haven't solved them yet is that i like changa so much, i rarely ever feel like attempting the freebase vape. You can definitely get help here, should probably give some detail on what you did and how.
There are several threads about the e-mesh method, eg. one with
great step by step instructions, and one that is
open for new members to post in.
Some alternatives are
the GVG and
the Key V2If you are used to smoke herbs in bongs/pipes,
enhanced leaf and changa are great routes of administration.
I'm not sure if that works for dmt alone, but dmt with harmalas work well in a joint too. It is a less inefficient method, you need more substance than with other methods. In turn, you have fine grained control over how deep you want to go.
