Wouldn't be easier to just get a vape with temperature control, set a precise value and just evaporate the substance from a mesh? Like the DMT e-mesh method.
Easier than what?
I've set up
e-mesh before following guides people have put up on Reddit.
Not every temp control model is the same, some work better than others, and anyway the melting point /
vaping point of DMT isn't THAT narrow to warrant an attempt at strict TC. I've tried this with the GeekVape Aegis, the Smok G-PRIV 2, and an Eleaf Invoke. So far, the Smok G-PRIV 2 seems to perform the best in terms of reactivity to temperature changes according to the little tests I've run with a laser thermometer.
You have to know how to set up the mesh properly, and
I don't find it very easy or useful as each and every hit has to be setup prior to vaping. It's a little bit complicated when everyone's already tripping, say, on LSD and you'd like to pass around a vape with some friends… loading it correctly each time can be tricky. The deemers wants to go all over the place, sometimes running down the mesh and getting into the contacts. It's bad about not staying on the mesh. So I modified the approach in several key ways, and ultimately I think it's maybe best to create an e-juice from your DMT + 3:7 PG/VG; but you have to get used to building coils from wire and loading it properly w/cotton to wick up the juice from the tank's well. Most of the guides I've seen suggest
vaping from just the mesh alone, and I've found this
isn't very practical, as loading the mesh can be
insufficient and
difficult. It comes down to medium logistics.
I get the feeling that a
DMT vape juice squonk box is the real way to go, but I haven't attempted it yet.
My
go-to devices for DMT are as follows in descending order of preference:
- The Yocan Torch (attached to a bubbler) – easy to blast off, small size = portable, and the adapter fits virtually any bubbler. Plus price is lower than other e-nails, like…
- The Dabtech Duvo (or any Puffco Peak knock off – the Peak is $400+, so buy used or save money w/copycats) – makes vaporizing DMT stupid easy; use the low heat settings, lacquer the DMT with brief heat pulses before hitting it or it can suck the DMT through partially, wasting the hit.
- The Yocan Magneto – an e-nail pen w/disposable atomizer tanks, snaps together w/strong magnets. There's a threaded bottom piece in which to keep a small stash.
- "The Machine" – a small, inverted liquor miniature bottle with a hole drilled in the bottom to breathe through, and the neck stuffed w/ DMT-lacquered steel mesh heated w/standard cig. lighter. Low-tech but effective and charming once technique is mastered.
One important thing I've learned is that DMT is easier to vaporize from metal than it is from glass. When DMT is in an oil burner (read: meth pipe) for example, when it melts to liquid, the liquid is very viscous and has a tendency to "run away" from the flame in all directions, precluding the big hit needed for a breakthrough experience. Hence the above list. That said, I've often
wondered if a “nectar collector” could be used to break through.
EDIT: Sorry, I realize I'm rattling on and on about DMT vaping on a thread about 5-MeO-MiPT. In an attempt to tie it together, while one could consider any of the above methods of DMT consumption w/r/t vaporizing the aforementioned 5-MeO-MiPT (and the diisopropyl homologue as well), I feel the e-liquid method is most effective with that compound because of its easy route of administration, the lessened amount of body load and time commitment to tripping, and the relative protection to the molecule offered by the heat buffering effects of PG/VG solution.
