Smoking crystal can be a hassle so I recommend mixing the crystals with some herbs (see:
DMT Handbook page 23) handling tiny crystal can lead to fuck ups when trying to reload while tripping.
I have tried using blue lotus with dmt to great effect using a bong and a torch lighter, the trip was mindblowing in the visions and smoking it with herb was so much easier because I was able to take it all in one hit also the smoke itself was not harsh but very smooth went in like air.
The leaf bed method could be very similar but I haven't tried it so I don't know.
I hope you'll trip harder next time because 50mg of almost pure crystal should be enough and I warn you to tread carefully do not underestimate this drug.
