    Yeah that's the gist but I took it as a myth with a grain of truth rather than a hack. Su least with mushies. I think it works with specific chemicals.

    Interesting. I've heard of using citrus (we used to think orange juice) to intensify the high of LSD.
    Turns out some citrus specifically grapefruit have enzyme inhibitors that work like MAOI inhibitor what causing more of the chemical to move to your bloodstream and inhibits the breakdown of the molecules in your body.

    I'm sure my explanation is technically incorrect (any bio chemist feel free to correct me) but basically some citrus can interact with some medication for better or worse.

    'in a tek' ? I am unfamiliar with the term. What does it mean? Personally I'm, azurescens and cyanescens guy but I know that's not available most places.

    Nice! Personally I just like the body feel and the pretty colors. I'm not looking (perhaps I'm unable) to have a transformational experience.
    In very high doses people often start talking in tongues. The one time that happened to me I completely blacked out the experience.

    Fuzzy sparkly is good enough for me!

    People in my area were early adopters of vape DMT cartridges. They've been using them for over a decade. I rarely use it but have dabbled with it for over 20 years.
    My biggest technical suggestion is to use a vape battery/body that has adjustable temperature. Many do if you click it and hold the button, or some other combination of clicks and holds.
    DMT needs to be ripping hot to vaoprize--way hotter than any cannabis product.

    If you have a rig that can do this one hit is a reasonable start, 2-4 depending on volume of breath, how hard you want to trip, and your body.
    Be very sure that you are not taking any MAOI medication.

    Also I generally feel burned out after two or three rounds. Some people will carry on for a long time but you seem to be a person of moderation so I would plan on one to three trips max.

    I recently visited Albuquerque and spent almost a full day at their botanical gardens. It was awesome and made realize how much I love bioparks.
    Of all the attractions a city may have, they always delight and never leave me conflicted like I feel at zoos and aquariums.

    So I ask the people of Tides: where are the best bio parks and what makes them great?

    Fellow lumen nerd! I also bought the Pro Max but find the temperature to be way too green. Unfortunately even with the extra lumens I prefer the nichia emitter.

    OooOO flashlights!
    I dug deep into the surprisingly helpful subreddit and was astounded at the lengths some people would go for enthusiast flashlights. Some of these people are even going so far as to re-solder diodes for a better temperature emitter! (Warmer is generally better)

    I stand by the right angle 18650 included Armytech Wizard pro c2 nichia with a warm emitter.
    https://armytek.com/flashlights/models/wizard/armytek-wizard-c2-pro-nichia-pcb-warm/

    I use it both for camping or home utility. I find the light temperature to be very satisfying. The button placement on the right angle can take some getting used to but once you realize that you always know which direction the light is pointing when your finger is on the button it becomes second nature.

    It does use an 18650 battery which has enough power by itself to lasting multiple days however I also hike with a power pack.

    Bonus luminosity: For a handheld torch I love the Sofirn sp36 pro (I always go for the warmest AKA lowest temp emitter I can get. This has three 18650s in a fairly compact well machined aluminum form.

    It will smash any body else's flashlight and the Anduril interface is both customizable and intuitive. (Double press for turbo!)

    Cheers!
    ( Don't get me started on novelty level flashlights. " Tame the Sun" level gear.)
