Hi,
I've recently had my first experiences with DMT. They were sub break-through, but i saw some serious potential. Enough that since the first try i've been inspired to commit to my final taper (doctor approved) off Diazepam, which i've been on for three years now, prescribed for anxiety.

That said, I believe my vaporizing method was poor. I used an Oil pipe, and i felt like i wasn't able to get enough in one hit. The vapor didn't feel dense enough, plus i kept burning it and myself.

So, i've been quite drawn to the idea of the 'Machine'. However, I am concerned about the Steel/Copper ball off-gassing from the heat of a lighter. Butane lighters reach very high temps... is this a valid concern? I have OCD, it's hard to know sometimes.

My concerns about the metal spurred me to find an all glass alternative and i came up with this:
It's simply a borosilicate jar. I figured it has the same principle as the machine, just heating the bottom of the jar, instead of the metal ball? I'm not sure if this would cause it to run into the same issues with burning the dmt as a free-base pipe would..
One of the things i liked about this jar; was the ability to 'load-up' all your hits in one chamber. This way for the 2nd /3rd hit you wouldn't have to mess around with a lighter - and maybe with it all in a jar, you could get it all in a single hit..


The mouth of the jar is too wide, a borosilicate bottle would be more appropriate.

Congratulations on your succes with getting away from benzo for anxiety !

As for this idea I like the concept of a no metal machine however "the machine" works off of the principal of convection not conduction as is the case here..

Lighter fire and heat is sucked up and this heats the metal mesh I have never seen any kind of ball but that could be a function of my own niavitay

If you want to emulate the machine in an all glass incarnation picture a test tube with a hole in the bottom and some glass beads if I can find the link I will edit and give it to you. The melted spice on these balls and the fire sucked thru the hole in the bottom of the test tube up thru the glass balls and dispersing some heat energy then the spice will vaporize.

However if I may point you in a new direction while keeping the all-glass-concept in mind would be a Quartz nail like people smoke weed oil off of, it sits in an all glass rig so there's no metal to speak of . Many people including myself have had success with "dabbing" the spice and it may be something to consider

At any rate best of luck and it's always good to look into alternative methods if you don't feel comfortable with a certain aspect of one
