Vape Burning Throat

Hi everybody, I’m an experienced mushroom user, and looking to broaden my horizons to the wonderful world of DMT!

I purchased a vape for $150… and I’m so sad I can’t inhale the fumes. It burns my throat, and the vapor can’t even really make its way into my lungs.

Do you all have any suggestions for me on a device I can use? Should I start with a pipe, or would that probably burn my throat too?

I appreciate any advice! Maybe this is something someone on the forum has been through as well.
