Has anyone else noticed this? My girlfriend and I both experienced this three times the other night after a 4 month break from DMT. They were there, but they were hiding in the peripheral vision and behind shapes.

Also, I'm having a hard time breaking through. I'm having to take 6 or 8 hits and when I FINALLY break the experience is clouded by hurting lungs. Any tips?? Should I use food grade lye instead??

I'm about to take the next leap too to 5-meo-dmt. Is there a plant that would yield this and would nomans tek be sufficient??

Thanks guys! It's great to be back

Food grade lye is always preferable, but probably isn't responsible for hurting lungs. If it does have additives though, that is an issue. A reX would probably be beneficial.
6-8 hits is slightly vague. Is the material changa or crystals? Chances are that your need to take so many hits is due to improper smoking technique...burning of the spice and such.

Some elves want to be seen, some appear to hide, others seem to be completely malevolent....so much depends on setting and mindset. Fascinating creatures, those.

Yes sometimes the elves seem to hide, other times they are right in front of you, jumping into your face... I didnt find any big meaning in this, its a varied ecology in hyperspace

How many mgs are you loading up? Indeed 6-8 hits is vague.. What is your smoking method? Probably you are having a bad smoking method, burning spice, not holding the vapour long enoguh, etc. I highly suggest getting a vaporgenie!

You shouldnt have lye in your product in the first place, regardless of it being foodgrade or not. Do a sodium carb wash if you are affraid of lye remains.

As for 5-meo-dmt, virola theiodora resin is your best bet, but Im not sure how soluble it is in naphtha. And no, dont use noman's tek, use sodium carbonate instead, some people have trouble using hydroxides and 5-meo-dmt, maybe its unstable to them.

In some DMT tryps SWIM hasn't seen a sinlge humanoid or animalistic being. Instead he would just see shapes and abstract images, also manifestations of their presence only more formless.

However the majority of his tryps have been filled with animal and humanoid like beings of light that were almost screaming for his attention and were very eager to communicate knowledge to him. They were right in his face, constantly revealing layer after layer of themselves. In fact it would have been pretty close to impossible to point his attention elsewhere, that's how completely they demanded his full attention.

In order to breakthrough SWIM has always used a classical, simple base-pipe.
He fills it up with a needlepin worth of DMT(The waxy, impure, yellow kind obtained through a STB extraction of MHRB), heats it shortly to turn it into liquid, then heats it for a longer time over a steady candle flame untill it vaporises to fill the base-pipe's round chamber up with white, thick vapor.

This vapor is to be inhaled in long, deep but slow tokes. If it is too harsh on the lungs, loosen your lips around the pipe/s mouth-piece to draw in a bit of air to cool and soothe your lungs. Take in as much as you can, but inhale slowly, softly and lengthy.

If SWIY does it this way SWIY should be able to break through with only one proper toke. SWIM has never needed more than 3 deep tokes to break through.

Thanks for your replies guys! I'm sure it's my smoking technique, I'm using parsley and a water pipe. I've tried a bass pipe before but I never new how to use it so I didn't get decent result. I am using the powdery crystals that comes straight from nomans tek. No re-crystallization of any other process.

It's odd, because I've extracted pure white crystals before but they were not nearly as potent as the yellow stuff, especially when it's had a chance to oxodiize really well. With the white crystals, we've both seen aliens and "kazoos" (like the Flintstones), appearing IN the room with the fresh white crystals. But when we let this oxodize for a few months (in an amber vile), the experience looks like the banner above .

So, I'm about to order a vaporgenie. Can I get a second confirmation from someone before I do? Do you use it with parsley or anything like that??

Thanks again guys! We love you!!
