Okay, I finally got a day off work tomorrow (or shall I say today, since it's past midnight)... And in anticipation, I decided to see if I could at least get my little device working. Shortened the copper scrubber plug a little...
Sprinkled some DMT in, only meaning to melt it to the copper...
Couldn't seem to melt it without sucking on the straw... And then... I got that feeling I remember getting when I used to vaporize with a vapor genie. That warmth when you know it's working and you've just inhaled something.
I'll say right off the bat I had no intention of having a trip, so I didn't hold it in, and I didn't mean to inhale much at all.
So once I noticed "gee, well it works anyways" I put down my device, lay back, and felt my heart beating like it was gonna propel me to another universe by pumping really hard.
So yeah, I didn't get anything more than that really neat feeling I got from the pipe, but hey, I didn't actually try.
The DMT collects in the copper without getting out the bottom, all I really have to do is inhale and I get a funny tasting vapour.
Next time, when I'm ready (either tomorrow or whenever it feels right), I'll try in earnest and I'm sure I'll get more than a heart-pounding prelude to nothing.
Edit: By the way, I did pre-burn my copper. Was advertised as "pure copper" and seems to be untainted by burnable surface substances. Oh, and I also felt a scratchy tingly sensation in my throat. Not like it matters, as I didn't really go all into it.
