Does anyone find it easier to break through with a pipe than a bong/bubbler? I consider myself pretty good at smoking it, but whenever I try to smoke it through water it always takes me alot more effort to break through. Does anyone else experience this as well?

Mind you I cant hold a large volume of smoke from a bong very long, because I dont smoke much weed anymore.

Are you using screens? an herb bed? an ash bed? If there's not enough 'stoppage" stuff then the DMT'll most likely just run off into the water where it's pretty much useless.

I dont think i would use a bong/bubbler, when smoking Cannabis(for medical use only) through a bong/bubbler you are using the water to cool the smoke so that you can take more in. The THC is heavy and will stick to the water but a good amount still gets through resulting in a very powerful THC experience. DMT alkaloids are different, You dont have as many in the smoke so if you use a bong/bubbler the water will pull some of the DMT alkaloids out resulting in a weaker experience and wasting some DMT. This is only my theory.

I've never noticed ANY loss of potency using a bubbler.....just use the leaf bed method...never put spice right on a screen.
