First, if she understands correctly, SWIY has
smoked "jungle fumarate"? This isn't working because it is a salt - salts for oral doses, freebase for vaporizing. The alkaloid (DMT) is locked to the fumarate molecule and does not readily become "free", if at all, when heated.
Conversion to usable freebase requires 1) dissolve the salt 2) basify the solution 3) extract with a non-polar solvent (naphtha, others)...
Search function and wiki are SWIY's friends - while not immediately obvious, the technical info required is here:

DMT fumarate is ~76% N,N DMT by weight and
solubility of DMT freebase in naphtha is ~ 1g/100ml thus
SWIY has (theoretical) 80g * .76 ~
61 g DMT ; SWIY needs ~ 6.1 L of solvent!
Yes, this is a lot - she guesses that DMT is more soluble than above, but thats the wiki talking.
Good news is, with freeze precipitation, one can keep pulling/recycling until the base solution is spent.
2 liters should be plenty. With some care and patience full recovery should be achieved.
