I've been having trouble getting an immersive DMT experience so I built a Machine (pic) as ostensibly my best option aside from GVG or similar costly devices. I vaped ~18 mg one day and ~37 mg the next, and effects were similar and very mild both times, milder than when I would just smoke spice with herbs, so I'm thinking I'm doing something wrong. Below is a description originally posted elsewhere of my apparatus and my approach, and I'm hoping someone experienced can take a look and offer some advice for improvement.
"[...]I bored a hole ~2-3/16'' in diameter into the bottom of a pint-sized liquor bottle with a ~1-inch long neck, diameter ~3/4'' inside, into which I stuffed a ball of copper wire scrubber large enough to sit freely in the neck without falling through, and small enough so as to not restrict airflow unnecessarily.
I would measure a dose of DMT onto the copper wire, then stand the bottle upright on a surface, at which point I would apply a butane torch flame on the lowest setting pointed at the neck 3-4'' away while with my other hand I would rotate the bottle. Soon, the familiar mothball smell would emerge and the DMT would begin to melt, at which point I would ease back slightly on the flame and stop slightly before it would all melt, allowing the heat from the wire to finish the job. Then, meditate for five minutes, grab the bottle and get sat on the bed. I'd hold the bottle upside down so that any vapor would be released into it, then ignite the torch, again on the lowest flame, and hold it about 1.5 inches from the copper scrubber until strands of vapor would appear in the bottle, all the while inhaling lightly from the hole at the other end, then deeply once vaporization starts. I'd inhale until my lungs were full, hold about fifteen seconds while keeping my finger on the hole, then exhale, and a small but visible vapor cloud would come out. Then I'd clear what was left in the bottle and repeat the process until no more vapor was forthcoming. As I'd start to get high it's hard to estimate how long this would take but I'd say about two minutes.
[...]The bottle is definitely airtight aside from the two intentional holes. Maybe I need to apply heat more forcefully during vaporization. Maybe I'm losing some through melting by heating it too much or for too long. At first I thought my bottle might be too big and significant vapor was coating the bottle rather than coming out through the mouth hole, but recently I found a video of someone demonstrating their machine and its use, saying they can break through dosing as little as 25 mg using it. It's about the same size as mine, but the neck is longer, there is more copper, and the end of the copper is protruding out the mouth of the bottle while mine rests just inside the lip. Also, he's run plastic tubing through the mouth hole with the end pretty close to the mouth of the bottle. His reasoning is that it allows you to better see what you're doing with the lighter but I'm wondering if it helps make sure less is lost to the inside of the bottle as well."
