Interactions

DMT in its pure form must be administered either by vaporization or smoking. This article covers a variety of different techniques which one can use to ingest DMT via inhalation.

Vaporization

Oil burner/Freebase pipe

In an oil burner or freebase pipe, sometimes referred to as a meth pipe, DMT crystals are placed in the bulb, then a heat source is used to heat up the glass and vaporize the DMT via conduction. The resulting vapor is then inhaled and held in the lungs for a 10-20 second period to allow for maximum absorption.

Glass Vapor Genie (GVG)

Often referred to as one of the most efficient and easy ways to ingest DMT, the Glass Vapor Genie and similar vaporizers use convection to vaporize the DMT by passing a heated air stream over the crystals. While the GVG is one of the more expensive tools for DMT ingestion, it is often the highest-rated due to it's ease of use and efficiency.

"The Machine"

"The Machine" is made by taking a small glass bottle and putting a copper scrubber in the neck and a hole in the bottom. The copper mesh is heated before pouring the DMT onto it, allowing it to stick to the metal. It is important to heat the scrubber thoroughly before using it to burn off any coatings that may be on it. After the DMT is on the copper, a lighter is used much the same way as the GVG above in order to vaporize using a hot air stream and by heating the scrubber. A straw is often put in the hole of the bottle to make it easier to breathe from.

Dab Rigs

Dab rigs, commonly used to vaporize cannabis concentrate, can also be used to vaporize DMT. As with other vaporization methods, care must be taken to ensure the dose you are taking is adequate. If your normal sandwich method dose were, say, 50mg, start dabbing at half that (25mg), as no DMT will be lost to accidental combustion (assuming your nail has been heated adequately). For any normal sized DMT dab, a temperature of 300 degrees Fahrenheit is more than enough to allow for complete vaporization, and too much higher than this may cause unwanted combustion. If you are using a quartz banger/nail you use for THC concentrate as well, consider investing in another nail for DMT dabbing, as you may receive unwanted psychoactive effects from cannabis dabs thereafter, and not to mention the residue that would be left on the nail.

Smoked

Sandwich method

The sandwich method involves layering DMT between a herb such a marijuana, an inactive herb, or ash, put into a pipe, bong, or anything else commonly used for smoking. With this method a lighter is used above the bed of herbs, trying not to light it on fire, in order to use the heat to vaporize the DMT between the layers. This method allows for a little room for error in that it will still work fairly well if the herb is allowed to catch on fire, but is otherwise known to be inefficient and difficult to fully breakthrough on without using up excess material.

This method can also be used to create a gravity or waterfall bong to create a larger hit easier.

Enhanced leaf

Enhanced leaf is created by taking a herb (often an inactive one such as mint) and mixing it with a solution of DMT and solvent such as isopropyl alcohol, butane, or acetone. There are many different recipes and mixtures for enhanced leaf, often based on changing the proportions of DMT and herb, but the basic recipe for a simple 1:1 mix is as follows:

Weigh out the amount of DMT you wish to use. It is often suggested to work for the amount in excess of 250mg to make it easier to work with.
Weigh out an equal amount of herb.
Put DMT and herb in a container. Often a glass shot glass is reccomended due to it's appropriate size, clearness, and ease of cleaning.
Add enough solvent to cover the DMT-herb mix.
Mix until no DMT is visible, so it all dissolves in the solvent.
Let dry for several days. Drying is complete when you can no longer smell the solvent, and the herb may take on a slight DMT smell.

Once the enhanced leaf is done, it can be smoked like any other herb. There have been accounts of attempting to vaporize but with limited success.

A note on naming: some claim "enhanced leaf" is a term for adding DMT to something that is already active, such as marijuana or salvia, so perhaps this could be more appropriately called "infused leaf" if an inactive herb is used.

Changa

Changa is similar to enhanced leaf in the process to make it, but uses an MAOI containg herb in order to lengthen the experience. There are also many different changa recipes in terms of ratios and what is used to make it, with common MAOIs being caapi, blue lotus, and passionflower. While the experience is lengthened by the addition of an MAOI, it is also reported to be slowed down, similar to an Ayahuasca experience, but not lasting as long.

Other methods (not suggested due to possible toxicity)

Bottle and tinfoil

The bottle and tinfoil method works by cutting the bottom of a plastic bottle off and covering the bottom with tinfoil. The DMT is then placed on the tinfoil and vaporized with a lighter under the foil. This method is not suggested due to possible toxicity of the heated foil.

Light bulb

A light bulb can be used like an oil burner pipe, but can be hard to handle safely, and some light bulbs have coatings that can be toxic when inhaled.

 __NOTOC__
-'''DMT''' alone must be vaporized to ingest. When combined with an [[MAOI]] it can be taken orally and is commonly refered to as [[ayahuasca]] when taken in this form. This article covers a variety of different techniques which one can use to ingest DMT.
-=== "Ecig" vaporizer and eliquid mix ===
+'''DMT''' in its pure form must be administered either by vaporization or smoking. This article covers a variety of different techniques which one can use to ingest DMT via inhalation.
-''Note: This is listed first by the author not because it is necessarily the most used or suggested method, but because it seems to be the easiest method for beginners(the most likely to read this) as it produces a particularly smooth vapor and you don't need much technique other than breathing.''
-===== '''Preparing the eliquid''' =====
+==Vaporization==
-Use an eliquid that is a 70/30 PG/VG mix. Flavor does not matter, but ideally a liquid without nicotine should be used so the experience is "pure". Measure out the amount of milliliters you need, then weigh out DMT to mix with it. Ratios between 1:1(g:ml) and 1:6(g:ml) are commonly suggested. 1:4 is a good place to start, giving some wiggle-room on either side. ''Ex: 2ml liquid and 500mg DMT would be a 1:4 mix''
-Mix thoroughly, taking care to break up any clumps of DMT and make a consistent mixture. Prime the coil on the vape and then fill the tank with this mix.
+===Oil burner/Freebase pipe===
+In an oil burner or freebase pipe, sometimes referred to as a meth pipe, DMT crystals are placed in the bulb, then a heat source is used to heat up the glass and vaporize the DMT via conduction. The resulting vapor is then inhaled and held in the lungs for a 10-20 second period to allow for maximum absorption.
-Run the tank under warm/hot water for about a minute to dissolve the DMT better. Now no floating particles should be visible.
+===Glass Vapor Genie (GVG)===
+Often referred to as one of the most efficient and easy ways to ingest DMT, the Glass Vapor Genie and similar vaporizers use convection to vaporize the DMT by passing a heated air stream over the crystals. While the GVG is one of the more expensive tools for DMT ingestion, it is often the highest-rated due to it's ease of use and efficiency.
-''Optional: Use a blunt tipped syringe to suck up the mix and heat it before putting it in the tank. This makes it easier to make sure it' dissolves well, and is also easier to fill the tank.''
+==="The Machine"===
+"The Machine" is made by taking a small glass bottle and putting a copper scrubber in the neck and a hole in the bottom. The copper mesh is heated before pouring the DMT onto it, allowing it to stick to the metal. It is important to heat the scrubber thoroughly before using it to burn off any coatings that may be on it. After the DMT is on the copper, a lighter is used much the same way as the GVG above in order to vaporize using a hot air stream and by heating the scrubber. A straw is often put in the hole of the bottle to make it easier to breathe from.
-===== '''Use''' =====
+=== Dab Rigs ===
-''Note: This is by no means the only or necessarily best technique, but will work and has several benefits''
+Dab rigs, commonly used to vaporize cannabis concentrate, can also be used to vaporize DMT. As with other vaporization methods, care must be taken to ensure the dose you are taking is adequate.

-Most battery and tank combinations should work fine. The big thing is to have a sub-ohm coil in the tank, and ideally a battery that allows the power to be adjusted. As a place to start, try 35W for power and a 0.4ohm coil.
+==Smoked==
-# Attach the tank to the battery and prepare for the experience however you wish
-# Do whatever your vape does to turn on the power and inhale as much as you can without coughing or burning your throat
-# Hold for 10 seconds
-# Exhale, then quickly take one or two breaths of fresh air to refresh your lungs
-# Repeat 3-6 times, or until you are where you want to be
-===== Timing: Try to take breaths quickly to get as the breaths in quick before the tolerance builds up. After 2 minutes or so the tolerance should be present =====

-===== Storage: Store the tank in a dark and ideally cool place to prevent the DMT from breaking down. =====
+This method can also be used to create a gravity or waterfall bong to create a larger hit easier.
-===== Benefits of this method: easy to prepare, easy to use (no worrying about managing the lighter or heat or where to put a hot pipe as you begin to feel effects), convenient to travel with and use, no harsh smoke and extremely little risk of burning material. =====
