DMT Vape Pens: What You Need to Know

DMT VAPE PEN-   DMT is rapidly becoming one of the most popular illegal drugs on the planet for its mind-altering and life-changing capabilities. Many people report that, after using DMT (Dimethyltryptamine), they have completely changed their negative patterns of thinking and replaced them with a newfound awareness that completely changed their life and mental health for the better.

The most popular method of consuming DMT has been by smoking it in a bowl alongside marijuana or by consuming it as a drink – also known as Ayahuasca. But modern times call for a modern method of tripping, and that brings us to DMT vape pens.

Why do people vape DMT?

Vaping DMT makes it much more convenient when compared to actually lighting it up and smoking it. Vaping also makes DMT use much more discreet, which is a major plus when you realize that the government treats this life-saving substance as the equivalent of crack or heroin. No one wants to risk getting in trouble with the law, and using a vape pen can help obscure the signature odor that is emitted through combustion.

What is DMT?

DMT is a naturally-occurring psychedelic drug that is found in many plants and animals.

DMT is frequently consumed for it’s mind-altering properties and has been used by many cultures throughout history for ritual purposes. The drug has a rapid onset and a relatively short duration. Despite the fast-acting nature of this drug, it’s also one of the most “intense” substances available. A user can achieve a full psychedelic experience in 5-15 minutes, considerably less when compared to psilocybin, LSD, or most other psychedelics.

Despite it’s popularity and despite the fact that it is a naturally-occurring substance, it is completely illegal in the United States and in most other countries. So if you want that DMT experience, make sure you know that you’re going to be breaking the law.  DMT VAPE PEN

What are the effects of DMT?

During the 1990’s, researcher Rick Strassman conducted a series of studies on the effects of DMT at the University of New Mexico. In this particularly study, the participants were given the hallucinogen intravenously and then observed in a controlled environment.

The study found that low doses produced a somaesthetic and emotional responses, but didn’t cause hallucinations. Higher doses gave participants a hallucinogenic experience which produced “intensely colored, rapidly moving display of visual images, formed, abstract or both”. These visual hallucinations often take the form of other living beings, oftentimes described as being “elf-like” or looking like dwarves.

Bottom line: DMT produces a hallucinogenic experience. It induces a state or feeling to a person where the feel like they can “communicate with other intelligent life forms”. When consumed in extremely high doses, it can produce a state where there is a sense of “another intelligence” that is sometimes described as being emotionally-detached and “super-intelligent”. These mystical experiences are one of the major reasons why people seek to use DMT. DMT VAPE PEN

As far as physical effects go, a study stated that “dimethyltryptamine does slightly elevate blood pressure, heart rate, pupil diameter, and rectal temperature, in addition to elevating blood concentrations of beta-endorphin, corticotropin, cortisol, and prolactin. Growth hormone blood levels rise equally in response to all doses of DMT, and melatonin levels were unaffected.”

When it comes to the lasting effects; many users report experiencing reduced anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders when used in high concentrations.

What are the methods of administration?

DMT can be administered using the following methods:

• Inhalation (smoking, vaping, using a bong, etc.)
• Injection
• Oral ingestion (Ayahuasca)

DMT Vape Pens: Are They Safe to Use?

Several cannabis vape pens have been linked to a new, life-threatening lung disease, but are DMT vape pens any better?

Offering a quick blast into another dimension, DMT is known to occasion among the most profound trips of any psychedelic. Although its effects last only about 30 minutes, the peak of a DMT trip happens almost instantaneously, within about the first 10 minutes.  DMT VAPE PEN

While it’s also found in ayahuasca (which, in said form, lasts a few hours), drinking ayahuasca or smoking powder from a pipe isn’t the only way to experience DMT. It can also be mixed into e-liquid (a.k.a. “vape juice”) and inhaled using common vaporizers. These vapes require no alterations for those who want to use them for DMT, according to various online forums for DMT enthusiasts, who recommend using the DMT e-liquid with vapes like the SMOK AL85 (which retails for $50 USD). Pre-loaded DMT vape pens can also be found online for as little as $280 for a package of five cartridges.

And while the intensity of the experience is dose-dependent, vaping DMT can cause similarly intense hallucinations as consuming it in more traditional ways. DMT VAPE PEN

Is vaping safe when it comes to DMT?

“The bed in front of me seemed to breathe, inhaling and exhaling like a lung,” journalist Lester Black recalled after using a DMT vape pen in 2018. “The unkempt sheets appeared to grow and fall like a cresting wave. I looked around, but it became too tiring to focus on my oscillating furniture, so I closed my eyes and felt my body fall away. I couldn’t tell if I wasn’t in control of my arms and legs or if I had just completely lost interest in controlling them. I saw prisms of purple and white light, extending into infinity, behind my closed eyelids.”

As with cannabis, vaping DMT has its benefits, like convenience, ease of use, and a degree of control over how big of a hit you can take. But also, as with cannabis, the question remains: Is vaping safe when it comes to DMT?

There’s plenty of reason to be concerned about the health effects of inhaling DMT-infused e-liquid in light of the new, deadly lung disease that’s been tied to vaping.

EVALI causes severe lung infections in otherwise healthy individuals. Health experts have found that vaping cannabis and/or tobacco e-liquid is a common thread among patients with EVALI. Since making that discovery, researchers have begun analyzing the chemicals used to produce cannabis and tobacco e-liquid, but they haven’t given the same attention to the potential health risks of vaping other substances, like DMT.

While there is no hard evidence on this issue, there are reasons to be wary of inhaling DMT-infused vape juice. The CDC notes that cannabis vape pens purchased through “informal sources” (including the black market) “are linked to most EVALI cases and play a major role in the outbreak.” Those findings suggest that cannabis consumers could drastically reduce the risk of developing EVALI if they stick to using regulated vaping products purchased through licensed sources in states that have legalized marijuana. By sticking to regulated products, consumers can rest assured that what they are vaping does not contain vitamin E acetate, a cutting agent that has been strongly linked to cases of EVALI.

But that solution won’t work for anyone using DMT, which is still prohibited throughout America and most of the world, so there are no regulated devices or licensed retailers for DMT vape pens. Without regulation, consumers cannot be 100 percent certain that DMT vape juice acquired from an informal source is free of vitamin E acetate or other harmful additives.
