Can anyone describe the differences from the 3 hits that you take? For example what's the difference between my first hit and second hit and so forth in terms of effects.

I think you'll find that ultimately, you will have to find out alot of this for yourself.................it is very subjective, and can even be very different for the same person from launch to launch...........

For me, the 3 hit method doesn't have specific differences for each hit............it is just a means of receiving a high enough cumulative dose to launch you into hyperspace............for me, it takes 30 seconds plus to absorb into my system, which by that time, I have usually taken the 3rd hit.................

IMHO there isn't time or big changes between indiviual hits.............just a marked increase of effect over the time of the 3 hits....................its kind of like pulling back the elastic on the slingshot over the course of the 3 hits.........when done, let go........................

Many times......... without some assistance from a guide or friend, you may never get to the 3rd hit.........by the time you exhale hit #2, I find the effects are ramping up enough that I am no longer capable of remembering anything, much less the 3rd hit...............I think that's why McKenna always stressed....."You HAVE to take the 3rd hit"!. I have had to literally shove the pipe in someone's face and say "Take the 3rd hit!!!" and light the lighter and hold it for them.

Personally, thanks to the advice from other members, I have been using the GVG (Glass Vapor Genie), which allows you to easily take a full dose and clear the GVG in one inhalation............

I believe, the more you absorb in the shortest period of time, usually results in the most effective hyperspace experiences......IMHO.......

I also feel, for myself, that not having any expectations works best. Just relax, surrender completely, and let the spice take you for the most unbelievable experience you have ever known.......It is quite a gift....IMHO

Safe travels.............and make sure you remember to let go................

Much Love.........

I take the entire dose in one hit. By the time I have put the pipe down, I am losing contact with my body fast. It's the only way for me, taking multiple hits just gets confusing and becomes a hassle. Also, it is worth noting that taking 3 hits from a 20mg dose will produce a markedly different (less intense) trip than 20mg taken in one hit. Other factors come into play, such as the speed of inhalation and how long (each) hit was held in. One toke, held for 20 seconds. BOOM.

Sometimes I will have a Changa meditation session, where the goal isn't a journey to hyperspace, but a lower level, deep meditation. In these circumstances, I will take a 10-15mg puff every 10-20mins to keep the ball rolling. This I find is very centering, and lovely experience in its self. Depends what you are looking for IMO...

Only way to go for me, for the same reasons as stated above. Already before exhaling I am completely enveloped with a 20-30mg dose

Up until recently, I've always (well...at least for a while now ) been fond of two hits. Sometimes I just have trouble putting faith in the fact that I completely cleared the GVG, and had a compulsion with taking that second hit. Anyway, I started becoming fond of one hit, but it's for an unconventional reason.

So the deal is that when I'm holding in my hit, open-eyed holograms will start forming in the air and moving their way over to me, eventually colliding with my body. Now the cool thing that I've noticed is that if I align my body and perspective perfectly with the holograms, something just "clicks". Getting the alignment correct seems to create this sort of "in-phase" relationships between myself and hyperspace (it's been my observation that OEV holograms are made up of one and the same stuff as CEV hyperspace - including entities), and that when we're perfectly in-phase, it gives hyperspace more free "energy" to do the evermore spectacular things it likes to do. Meanwhile, if alignment is poor, the experience is often lame, and sometimes I've even found myself misaligned to the whole experience where I can see hyperspace taking place from an inappropriate angle where its actions don't even necessarily fall on me which isn't very satisfying.

So what does this all have to do with one hit, you're probably wondering? Well it seems that taking multiple hits can kinda screw up the alignment process for me, as I'm already starting to align on my first hit, but then I have to disrupt the whole process with a second, and the alignment is often inevitably not as good which actually results in a not as spectacular of an experience. I know DMT is different for everyone, but for those of you who are like me who get the holograms bubbling up while you're holding in a hit, try to get them to lock in with you, and then close your eyes and see if it makes any difference.

I agree HEAVILY with what was said above in regards to doing one huge hit. (if your lung capacity can take it) I had my most profound and highly intense experience awhile back with one huge hit (in a bong) and I will never go back to another way, although I still use my GVG quite often and can produce nearly the same intensity of experience.
