Hey folks, I have been browsing these and other forums for the last 3 months or so for extraction TEK, smoking equipment, trip reports etc. In short, generally getting my head around this bizarre but amazing world of DMT.
I have done a few successful extractions of spice, and harmalas as well and have used them in various combinations, with varying degrees of success orally and smoked. My main problems are this:
1. Smoking spice without burning it is hard without something like a VG. Burned spice tastes terrible, is hard(er) on the lungs, and is wasteful.
2. I am a tight-ass and don't want to spend money on something I may have to throw away if I get an unfriendly knock on the door.
3. Glass is a no-go, too fragile. Brass gets too damn hot.
I had a trusty old Missouri Meerschaum laying around and had revelation!
-I take a few screens from the hardware store and mold them into baskets via a crude forming die made from two sockets: this is placed on a bed of ash in the pipe to catch any runoff as the spice vaporizes.
-take a few screens and cover the top of the pipe bowl via a brass swing-hinge lid to act as the heat diffuser.
I have only used this for about 10 breakthrough experiences thus far, but it seems to work pretty well. I have noticed that with regular ash-spice-leaf sandwich it takes approx 60mg to blast off and I have cut that down to about 40mg. Plus it's so Rube Goldberg... I laugh every time I use it.

He is an adventurous fish, and I feel his exploits are worth sharing...so much so, I occasionally forget that HE is the one who does these things. Sometimes I get caught in the moment and write of his experiences in the first person; this is a mistake, for I am an upstanding citizen who never does wrong. Stimpy is the degenerate.
