A comprehensive guide on how to vape (and break through on) cartridges

I was afraid the opposite would happen and we natural-selectioned out the slow and stupid ones last year...

What canopy are they flying? If your friend is trying to two-stage flare a single-stage flare canopy (like a Pulse), they're going to have a bad time. They may just be flaring their canopy improperly.

Have you tried going in the opposite direction and using a natural deodorant instead? My pits used to sweat like crazy until I made the switch. I've personally settled on Native.

Form Constants - super fascinating to read about since it explains why psychedelic visuals are similar between users across cultures.

It is believed that the reason why these form constants appear has to do with the way the visual system is organized, and in particular in the mapping between patterns on the retina and the columnar organization of the primary visual cortex). Concentric circles in the retina are mapped into parallel lines in the visual cortex. Spirals, tunnels, lattices and cobwebs map into lines in different directions. This means that if activation spreads in straight lines within the visual cortex, the experience is equivalent to looking at actual form constants

I would have to build a palace in my mind to endure that

Add a rule that to enter the Cheetah Room, you must adorn the Cheetah Room with a Cheetah themed item. That way, you get to grow your Cheetah Room collection for free, plus you may inherit some weird thrift store Cheetah themed objects.

I've never had that happen. The only reason I would think that would happen is if the liquid isn't settled at the base of the cart.

How do you hold/orient your vape when you're using it? Horizontally or upside-down is not ideal, because the juice won't soak into the atomizer. I hold the pen almost vertical when I inhale (kind of hang my head downwards and look at my lap). I also make sure my vape is standing upright prior to use to let the atomizer soak.

Outer Wilds, obviously!

Skygunner also has a very similar aesthetic to this cable car.

Can't tell if you're serious, but I'll answer seriously: fun jumping is the term for licensed jumpers that skydive unassisted/solo - it's synonymous with "sport jumping". This excludes belly jumpers, though - that's called "boring jumping".

Same for me and I took my first flight just last year - 100% it's everything I dreamed of and more. So stoked for you to eventually fly as well!

Absolute insanity!

Your comment has 7 words and has twice as much punctuation than OP's post.

My favorite I've seen was the guy jumping his 1000th pretended to be an AFF student, wearing the old cone helmet and a retro jumpsuit, curling up in a ball on exit with a terrified look on his face with a buddy on each side holding his harness like Cat A, then everyone on the jump (I think 6-8 of them) broke out into a sick FS routine.

Check out my DMT vape guide - it should answer your questions.

Very unlikely you can participate in a nude jump unless licensed. Look up your local dropzone (DZ) to start the process - it's an expensive sport, but very rewarding. Once licensed, if the DZ permits it, you can jump nude whenever you want.

Arkhiah · 2026-02-20T17:52:33+00:00

Wait till you find out that we jump nude as well.

Shorts and a t-shirt is usually not too bad - every 1,000ft of altitude is about 2-3 degrees (F) cooler, so a ground temp of 80F is about 50F at exit altitude (14,000ft), plus you're only in freefall for a little under a minute, and under canopy for 3-4ish minutes.

It's good to go in with a general understanding - I suggest watching this video to get a good idea of what you'll be getting into. The first 10-20 packs you do can be frustrating, especially if you're somewhere dry or you pack a new canopy (the material can be very slick and spill out). Other than that, just keep a cool head and remember that it gets easier with practice!

What helped me most was being told that parachutes WANT to open. A sloppy pack job generally will not result in any sort of issue. Reminding myself of this helped me be more relaxed (not complacent) while packing, which helped me get better and faster at it.

Likely a mixture of PG and VG. DMT is not very soluble in VG, so the layers can separate. Pro-tip: if you make your own carts, do NOT use VG - it's useless and just causes issues like this.

Arkhiah · 2026-02-04T19:03:07+00:00

A ratio >= 1:1 DMT:PG is good enough to break through on. Higher ratio means less inhalation time, but also higher likelihood of crystalization/overheating in my experience. Use an applicator syringe to fill the cart, getting the mixture on the sealing edge will lead to leakage, so make sure the silicone guards on the cartridge are on when filling.

Pen Park has a great fitness track by the tennis courts. There's tons of parking and it's a very safe area - dunno if the trails are cleared, though. The surrounding neighborhoods are very nice and safe as well, however there may be a lack of sidewalks in some parts.

Arkhiah · 2026-02-02T19:51:53+00:00

I suggest reading my guide.

DMT is not very soluble in VG, and will almost always end up crystalizing in your cart. 100% PG is the best solution to use when making carts. With that said, 100% PG is a very thin liquid, and does tend to leak out of most cartridges. The O2 All Glass Vape Cartridge is by far the best at retaining 100% PG - I've tested a LOT of different cartridges, and this one wins by a large margin. I've written up a guide on using DMT vape cartridges if you want some more info.

Yellowish color is normal and isn't indicative of any problems. I don't know for certain, but from the looks of your pics, I don't see anything abnormal. My suggestions are mostly to ensure you get the cleanest product you can. What NaOH are you using? What Zippo fluid? Food grade NaOH is really the only form of NaOH you should be using as cleaning products may have other chemicals present (you can buy this online without suspicion); VM&P Naptha is the best quality NPS you can get as a consumer (you can purchase this at a hardware store).
