I’ve always wondered how much DMT a thin copper “ChoreBoy” disc can hold, so I did an experiment to estimate:

I weighed a dry disc at 434mg, then I saturated it in water, shook it off a bit, and reweighed it at 633mg; a difference of just about 200mg.

Assuming that liquid DMT is even somewhat similar to water in terms of surface tension, viscosity and whatever else might affect its “clinginess”, it’s a safe bet that a copper disc will hold any size “normal” dose.

Can the experiment be done with the real McCoy? One would need exceptional technique ...

It would also be interesting if a disk can be preloaded, removed and carefully stored for later. Don't know why one would do that ... but neat none the less.

I always pre-load: With a disc on a heat-proof surface, I warm it a bit with a torch lighter (doesn’t take much heat) and then pour a pre-measured dose onto the warm copper. It melts right in. When I’m ready, I use a pair of tweezers to gently lower it into the GVG chamber.

I’ve never found the need, but I suppose one could prepare numerous discs with various amounts, and just load them up one after the other as desired. (For multiple users or multiple journeys.)

Cant believe I never considered a pre-load outside the GVG. Seems so obvious. Always get a bit of vapor trying to melt but not vaporize in the GVG.

Heating the copper first even removes the draft of the torch.

Wow, it feels like Christmas morning!

I pre-load outside as well its very easy this way.

i heat the mesh while its in the vapor genie, just as if i was smoking out of it, then once its warm i remove the top and add the spice, melts in perfectly and im ready to go

I thought copper and aluminum were a no no for smoking and steel or brass were ok. Doesn't the heat cause copper oxide to be inhaled into lungs? I swear I remember reading on some mj forums about copper pains. I don't mean to stir worries. What happened to steel wool, as used in the machine?

Short answer: Coarse steel wool is OK but imparts taste, fine steel wool is not safe, copper is safe and imparts no taste.
