Hello!

I've been fascinated with DMT for some time, and I bought all the things that I needed: DMT and a vape (Aspire Zealos kit).

I mixed the DMT with e-liquid (flavored, no nic 70%vg/30%pg), and it dissolved.

I used around 420mg DMT : 1.5Ml of vape juice. I know this is somewhat low, but I figured it'd be fine, since I'm just trying to get a feel of what DMT is like for now.

My vape coils can go up to 30 watts, which (even though I've read 45 watts is preferred) should work and has worked for others (as low as with 20 watts). I'm using a 0.7ohm coil by the way.

The problem is this: The smoke/vapor is really harsh on my throat. Every time I take a pull, I wanna cough so bad that I eventually cough even though I try my hardest not to. When I cough, the smoke hurts my throat, to the point of me getting nausea/wanting to vomit.

There were some noticeable visuals, but nothing crazy as normally described. Less than with 100mcg of LSD (even though the visuals were different in nature).

After taking a hit I can't take more, and I can only inhale/hold it for 5-7 seconds.

I have reagent tested, and confirmed its DMT.

Would very much appreciate some help.

Why not try to use a direct tek to vape the DMT, without any juice?

E.g. here some described good teks:

I can't speak to your particular vaporizer but when I tried higher VG mixtures I felt like it didn't wick fast enough causing me to burn my DMT. It sounds like yours is burning. 50/50 PG/VG seems better to me. I also think the flavored e-juice over time likely causes clogging of coils and burnt DMT.

I was going to say exactly this. I vape it, and that was definitely the case.
Now I'm using 30VG 70VG, and the vape is smooth, and I can make the liquid more concentrated, the coils last longer, etc. Haven't been able to breakthrough, but I still don't know if it's me, or the device. My gf trips balls hehe

You may need to change your coil now, because it could be burned, and that taste never goes away. If you can get 0.5ohm, even better (but start with lower power, 27W, and increase it slowly if needed)
It happened to me a lot at the beginning, now I'm getting way better at vaping it, but still a lot of trial and error. After the summer I'm definitely going to try some other direct ROA
