ok so the first.5 extraction went ok, left a darker yellow product which i plan to recrystallize. anyways when smoked it leaves a pool of dark yellowish brown liquid, im just wondering if this is to be expected or if im brutally murdering my lungs. i haven't seen much info at all on this particular sub subject, so any light would be nice as i am very new to this. thanks!

Yeah, it's normal. You can clean it out with isopropyl alcohol, and collect the "dirty" alcohol and let it evaporate, and it should leave you with some dark crystals after the evaporation is complete and you can scrape them up. I don't know why, but I've always found them to be significantly stronger than regular crystals for some reason and they add some color to the experience. The first full blown white light encounter with the godhead I had came from smoking a marginal amount of the stuff while peaking on ayahuasca.

that sounds interesting, kind of like scraping resin from a weed pipe dmt style. which makes sense that it'd be stronger, it may be denser afterwards, more in the punch.
i haven't broke through yet, but obtained a nice yield so far, after recrys it should allow me to. ayahuasca sounds nice

I've had similar leftovers after smoking some light yellow crystals. As Global said, when smoked it is delightfully colorful. I'm not quite sure why, but wow it seemed potent and incredibly vivid. Also very humorously strange, even for a DMT trip.

When you melt the DMT with too much temperature it will melt brownish(gibran2 described it as "caramelization" ) and you're supposed to smoke that as it's the same DMT. If it is going through your screen you are wasting it. The only thing that's supposed to be left from your DMT is condensation (for example the GVG curve).

Personally my experience with it is opposite from globals. Once when it leaked through my screen and I recollected it and smoalked it I found the experience almost like "second hand DMT" with lack of colors and vividness, but maybe I should experiment more with it... It was more physical experience though.
