PsychedelicEagle

In one of my Bufo Alvarius trips I had an insight into the importance of integrity in one's life. From that point forward I completely stopped drinking, having been tolerating small amounts of alcohol here and there in social events due to social pressure and habit. Then I said enough. I don't have to tolerate small portions of a substance I find counterproductive for health and development just because society is fucked up. IMO psychedelics help to interconnect your inner values and experiences and from there changes can happen. It's not a given, though. I see it as though your mind has to be ready and willing to work in a certain area for a breakthrough there to happen. In my case I had been fed up with putting up with alcohol for a few years before the 5-MeO experience took place. I had also been consuming health content which raised my awareness of the detrimental effects of alcohol. That said, I think I healed my deepest traumas with Ayahuasca. I don't have as much experience with 5-MeO as I have with Aya tho. Could the length of trip helps to settle the realizations you have into your emotional being? In this case Aya would have an advantage, especially vs 5-MeO-DMT smoked.

@shree Good point. Usually I do it with a trip sitter that takes care of the device after ingestion. That said, the devide isn't super large and the banger seems to be well isolated. Anyway, I would be careful with laying it on the bed one is tripping, or on places that could catch fire. I will try better assessing these risks next time I do it, and reporting them here, if any relevant finding.

Hi, This is my first post with this account, but I've been an Actualized.org follower since 2016. I had another account with a couple dozens posts, but since that revealed my real identity (with a lowercase i) I create this new one. Recently, I acquired 5-MeO-DMT (freebase) myself for the first time (already having 40+ psychedelic trips by then). Given the challenges in properly vaporizing it with torch lighters and whatnot, I looked for alternatives. I found this E-Rig named "Dr. Dabber Boost Evo" (image below) to work quite well, so I'd like to share it with the community. My friend and I have reliably and successfully tripped on 3 separate occasions using it. You can very easily and quickly inhale 10-15mg. I haven't tried larger doses yet, but I anticipate there should be no problems. I also anticipate it should work well for regular DMT (aka N,N-DMT). I have found the "orange" temperature color, corresponding to 371 °C (700 F), to be the best. That coincides with what Google says is the boiling point of 5-MeO-DMT, namely 370.5 °C. Lower temperatures don't fully vaporize it and you're left with some of the spice melted in the corners of the banger. After turned on, it takes 11 seconds to reach the set temperature, which is when the device vibrates and turns green (indicating it's time for the dab). However, I start to vape before it actually turns green -- around the 6 seconds mark -- since I found some of the spice is already vaporized by then. This probably happens due to irregular heating of the banger; parts of it will be hotter sooner. Cheers, happy & safe tripping. Do your research before using anything and treat psychedelics with the respect they deserve.

My (conservative) perspective: Do you have a solid experience with traditional psychedelics? Needless to say 5-MeO-DMT is one of the strongest. 5-MeO-DMT may cause flashbacks to happen a few times for weeks following the experience, usually when falling asleep/waking up. This scares some people. I met a guy saying who couldn't sleep for 3 weeks after 5-MeO. You gotta be in a healthy mental/social/professional state to handle that, if it happens. Having a good grasp of nonduality and the effects the substance can have is crucial before doing it. There's no need to rush. There will always be the opportunities to do it. The community is huge and if you search for it you find it in most places and countries. There's evidence the brain only completes its development at around the age of 25. Before then, I would be extra careful, especially to avoid the development of any type of psychosis (I'm no psychologist or psychiatrist, but just my understanding). Also, since you're young, I'd say that meditation would be even more important, given how it can positively affect your development. So maybe you could give more emphasis to more traditional spiritual/mindfulness practices at this point of your life, and also focus on regular self-development (career, etc.). That will pay dividends later on, allowing you to better enjoy psychedelics in the future. Personally, I've delayed using 5-MeO. I did dozens of "regular" psychedelic trips (Ayahuasca, mushrooms) over the course of three years before I did Bufo, and later synthetic 5-MeO. I started with the age of 29 and I'm 33 now. I don't regret taking my time to be ready for 5-MeO.
