Hi,

I'm just getting in to this scene after many years of considerations due to a couple of bad trips from mushrooms in my youth. Now that I feel more confident and interested in what this experience can give and/or open up for me (i.e. ways of seeing the reality).

So I've been lurking around here for some time and decided that I wanted to do the mini machine, which I eventually succeeded with but not without a few failures!

So the main reason I created this account is to share an easy way to make the hardest step in the mini machine creation to become a walk in the park. As I found out, it is not easy to contact people or create threads as a new user as well as I had some issues while creating a user account for the wiki-page.. Either way, if you read this and know how to forward it to any moderator who can change/update the wiki it would be great!

To the point!

The hardest part of creating the mini machine while following SWIM's/q21q21's guide is where you want to create a small hole for the scrubber-ball. By using a screwdriver you don't have any good way of controlling the cracking of the bulb.

My solution is simply to use a sandpaper, preferably a grit designation of P80 or P100, and then just grind the tip until it matches your goal/scrubber ball!

My result: Inspirational picture

I wish you all the best!

Hello, welcome and thanks for the tip!

Any flat, abrasive surface should do the job, but don't press too hard.

Welcome to the Nexus!

Apart from DMT, are you interested in other psychedelics again? Have you tried mushrooms since those bad trips?

Be well!
