SWIM has about .7 g's of DMT and he just tried smoking it today out of a lightbulb vaporizer. SWIM crudely measured out about 40mg for his first dose. The DMT turned to liquid in the lightbulb, SWIM allowed the lightbulb to fill with smoke then SWIM would let off the lighter and clear it. SWIM got some pretty massive clouds. his pupils dialated. he felt a little unsteady standing and everything looked a little weird. The walls seemed to move a little bit, and stuff looked kinda weird, but that was all. SWIM did not hallucinate like people say you do, nor did he feel so disoriented that he fell or dropped the piece. Is SWIM doing something wrong? SWIM was thinking that maybe the DMT is being heated too much and thus the molecules are being destroyed. Any one have any related experiences? SWIM extracted the DMT himself and is sure it is DMT. It looks like the pictures, But SWIM probably got about 5-10 hits off of 40mg. Basically, SWIM wants to be sure that it is his smoking method that is causing this to not work well.

Sounds like SWIM's first few times. In SWIM's experience, heat source made all the difference. Substituted butane torch for lighter. Don't be afraid to really hit the spice with the heat (from the other side of the glass in the bulb, of course). You need that heat to really get everything vaporized quickly for massive rips. Hotter vapor is also more likely to make it to your lungs and less likely to condense in your mouth.

Wow, thanks for the info DrAstronaut. Is there any other advice you could give SWIM? or point SWIM to in any way? SWIM can't seem to find much info on the net about the percise method of smoking the spice.

another good way is to use a glass bowl..with a herb on the bottom to catch the spice as it melts..and some over the spice to keep the flame off of it..smoke as much as you can in one minute

Mate,

This is exactly what happened to SWIM until about half an hour ago.
He is/was new to all of this and so thought it would be a good idea to buy a vapourising pipe. The Eagle bill vapouriser to be precise. With this he only got effects as you described above. So then he decided to make a lightbulb vaporiser. Again, only similar effects as described above.
He decided that things with big bowls, like lightbulbs arent ideal, coz when the liquid heats up, it creeps up the side of the bowl and you dont vaporise it all and hence only get threshold effects.
So SWIM thought, hed make a good old fashioned bong, out of a small plastic bottle and a pen as the mouth piece. Put foil on the openeing. He used cigarette ash as the carrying medium and did a ash, spice, ash sandwhich. (the ash really helps with takinvthat horrible taste away too). With this method there is nowhere for the liquid to creep.

All he could say is oh my fuckin goodness. Im about to write a report about it in the experience section, but i dont know how because it is so hard to fuckin explain. It is quite literally beyond words.
Anys, good luck with your technique. If you have no luck, i strongly recomend you just fashion a simple bong like swim did. Its cheap and effective

another good way is to get a VaporGenie

Oil-burner type base pipes work like a charm, and the spice crystallizes on the inside. Vaporizer works too, just set it nice and hot.
