What is DMT?
DMT stands for dimethyltryptamine — it’s a powerful hallucinogenic compound found in a variety of plants and animals. Our own brains even make DMT — albeit in very small concentrations. It’s thought that DMT contributes to our ability to dream and may be involved with other aspects of conscious and unconscious thought.
How to Use a DMT Vape Pen
The whole point of a DMT vape is that it’s simple to use. Nevertheless, there are a few steps to follow to get the most efficient hit from your vape.
Step 1: Shake the Pen
Always give the pen a good shake before you use it. The DMT will tend to separate from the e-liquid base, so if you skip this step, you will either get a hit of pure DMT or pure e-liquid.
Step 2: Take one Long Inhale, and Exhale Completely
This does two things; it calms you down before the hit, which is going to help reduce the chances of having a challenging or anxious experience. Secondly, it prepares you to take a longer, deeper breath during the next step, ultimately making the DMT more efficient.
Step 3: Take a Deep Inhale
Don’t rush it — inhale the vapor from the device slowly. It’s going to be pretty harsh, so taking longer, slower breaths will cut back on some of this harshness. Once you’ve taken a full inhale, release the pen and take one more inhale to bring all the vapor into the lungs.
Step 4: Hold Your Breath for a Few Seconds Before Exhaling
The DMT will immediately start absorbing through your lungs. Keeping the vapor in the lungs for a few seconds before exhaling allows you to get more efficiency from the DMT you’re using. The longer you hold your breath, the stronger the hit will be.
Step 5: Repeat as Necessary
Depending on the potency of your pen, the amount of vapor you inhaled, and the time you held the vapor in your lungs, you may need to take a few hits to reach breakthrough levels.
For a standard 400 mg, 0.5 mL vape cartridge, you may need between 5 and 15 hits to reach this effect level.
If using a mesh pen or stronger vape cartridge, you may only need 1–3 hits to reach breakthrough levels, so don’t rush it.
