Half gram cartridge I use 370mg DMT 130mg CBC and one drop of Cannabis Derived Terpenes. The resulting vapor is very smooth. I have no problem breaking through with this setup. It does require a little finesse like preheating first and checking for bubbles before each use and "re-priming" if bubbles are present after reheating AND pulse firing. 4 seconds on, 2 seconds off, hold it in between firing and only inhale when firing. My estimate with this technique is 2mg per 1 second draw. I breakthrough in one long draw about 12 seconds total firing time with two 2 second breaks if that makes sense.
One last note, you said the taste was acidic? NaoH cannot vaporize at the temperature created by vaporization devices. You aren't trying to vape NnDMT Acetate(fumarate/HCl) are you? Vaping DMT salts are very caustic and can cause severe permanent lung damage(along with most acidic substances, I've seen companies selling THCO-acetate for vaporizer use and that's a big "oh, hell no". Medicine 8s not supposed to cause permanent lung injury and that's a stark possibility when you vaporize salts. Remember the big THC vape pen problem? Vitamin E Acetate. It was the acetate that was hurting people so badly. That pesky little acid wrecks havoc on our lungs. If you ever get ahold of Cannabis concentrate that is super harsh it's usually because the people that made it are idiots and didn't adjust the PH.) For safety purposes please stick to freebase DMT for vaporizer use.
Thanks for the feedback, T. My material is freebase, not a salt.
Could you expand upon your cartridge info, or point to another string that discusses it:
Make?
Model?
What is CBC? (Do you mean CDB?)
Technique for mixing vape solution?
CBC is Cabbinachrome, it's a non psychoactive oil derived from hemp (for our purposes it also happens to be a NPS and excellent carrier agent.
I use .5 gram "full ceramic medical grade cartridges"
I mix in a shot glass with a stirbar on a scientific hot plate stirrer at 80*C and 300RPM
For 1 gram cartridge - Combine
750mg DMT
0.25ml CBC
2 drops of terpenes of your choice -OPTIONAL- (The terpenes help it flow in the cart and not gel up at lower temperatures)
Combine in shot glass with magnetic stirrer set on hot plate at 80*C 300rpm until the stir bar spins on it's own unhindered. When you fill the cartridge cap with the mouthpiece immediately as the "wick" creates a capillary action pulling a vacuum on the fluid in the cartridge. Never open or reuse a cartridge, they will bubble and dry fire.
Use instructions -
ALWAYS PRE HEAT FIRST.
I use a Yocan Uni set to the lowest voltage (ALWAYS use the lowest voltage setting)
If your device doesn't have a preheat function you can preheat manually by firing without drawing, two seconds on two seconds off for 10 cycles
ALWAYS CHECK FOR BUBBLES AFTER PREHEAT AND BEFORE USE.
Bubbles will form naturally. If there are bubbles present after preheat you can "reprime" the cartridge by putting the small protective silicone disc that came with it over the threaded end and drawing on the mouthpiece.
PULSE FIRE WHILE USING
Bubbles will always form naturally, to prevent dry fire use the device by firing 4 seconds on 2 seconds off. Using this method average delivery is 2mg per second draw. Average dose is 20-25mg.
My 2nd Vandy Vape order was cancelled (so frustrating) I'm going to a local place this week where I've heard stories the owner has some old RDAs for sell and should have an acceptable mesh device. In the meantime this cartridge method has worked awesome and I've even depleted a cart with no burning or any poor effects toward the end of the cart.
CBC is US legal and natural/safe to vape (as safe as CBD or CBG, etc) it's not created with synthesis like Delta8, CBC is naturally occurring. It doesn't have much taste and adds or subtracts nothing from the trip. For our purposes it is a non psychoactive carrier agent. When you add the CBC to the DMT you may think it will never work but once the DMT melts and mixes with the CBC it will remain a viscous liquid.
Hope I helped!
