I am relaying to you a message from my uncle Bob, who is definitely not me:
Hello friends,
I hope some of you can help me out with some advice. I have traveled the DMT realms a few times in recent months, always grazing at sub-break-through levels. I am a solo traveler, so I stick to launch devices that work without an exposed flame or exposed heating elements. My device of choice so far is the Yocan Evolve Plus XL vape pen.
My first true success was with the Yocan, and I have achieved a decent lift-off every time. However, I fail to reach escape velocity. This may or may not be an issue with the device, but I think it has to do with my technique.
So I am reaching out to those of you who have had success with this device and maybe can point me to what I am doing wrong.
Here’s what I do. I use the ceramic donut coil instead of the standard quad coil. I load the coil with 40 – 50 mg of DMT freebase crystals. At 40 mg, the coil is maybe 70% full.
I try to pre-melt the DMT by pulsing the button, maybe ½ second on ½ second off. This works perfectly for 20 mg, but for 40+ mg, I run into some issues. Sometimes, the crystals further down in the coil melt, forming a cavity, while the DMT crystals on the top don’t move. I then flick the coil with my fingers to get the DMT to move downwards. It takes a while for 40 mg of DMT crystals to melt, and I wonder if some of the liquid DMT drains out of the coil and into the air intake canal.
I also wonder if it makes sense to push the crystals down into the coil using a toothpick or something. Maybe it makes sense to compact the DMT instead of pre-melting it? What is the risk of liquid DMT draining out of the coil?
I press the button for around 1 to 2 seconds before I start inhaling. I then keep the button pressed for maybe 5 or 6 seconds while pulling in air. I release the button and keep pulling for maybe another second or two.
The last time I traveled, I took three hits from a pen that was loaded with 48 mg. The hits were maybe 30 seconds apart. The first hit gave me an intense body buzz, but no OEV. The second hit produced some minor visual distortions, but no shapes or patterns. The third hit then produces some patterns. At that point, I closed my eyes and let the DMT carry me away.
After landing back on earth, I wondered how much spice is still left in the pen. So, to test that, I took another couple of hits, and it turns out there was still enough in there for another lift off. The second run was not as deep as the first one, but still significant.
The pen was pretty much empty after that. So maybe the first trip was a total of 25 mg and the second 20 mg, just guessing. If that was so, then it appears that one toke from the pen delivers around 10 mg of spice.
Any advice welcome. If I get this to work reliably, I will definitely take the time and write up a detailed Yocan pen guide and post it.
Love
