Using Emesh With Harmala
We Are Currently Gathering Info about this, please report your experiences on our Discord (link on home page)
IMPORTANT: Freebase may be smoked with caution, however salt forms of haramalas are not considered smokable owing to extremely high vaporisation temperature.
** Be sure to check the food/medication interraction lists before attempting to use harmala in any form **
Key Points From The Experience Reports
Around 0.125 - 0.15mg of freebase per kilo bodyweight (work up slowly, starting from 0.05mg/kg or less). Weigh very carefully as overdosing is very easily done in error
Temperature setting around 300-315°C, fixed wattage 14W. Possibly try holding the Fire button for 3 seconds before commencing the toke
Very careful slow toking to avoid inhaling the powder, multiple tokes may be preferable
Takes effect very quickly ("nearly as quickly as DMT, almost instant, recommend being seated/stationary the first handful of minutes after toking")
Possibly strong diuretic effect
"A Colourful Success" By Dimitri-Ologist
Amount and method
0.25mg/kg 96% harmala freebase extract (but see Additional Notes below) vaped with the eMesh in Power Mode [13W] over the course of a minute.
Vape hit was not only not harsh -contrary to my expectations, it was barely noticeable. However, take care not to inhale the powder.
It doesn't melt wholesale like dimitri before vaporizing, instead it seems almost to partially sublimate. My extract did not vape clean but left a very small amount of residue.
After ~5 mins, using a 1:1 dimitri-PG in a Geekvape Wenax K1 pod system ~2 second inhalations at ~1 min intervals.
Effects
I found I was able to maintain OEV's with the Wenax - scintillating color saturated-blending-trailing-morphing fractal-geometries- with a ~2sec hit every 10min or so and kept this up for ~45min before ending the session.
Physical effects were confusing,both tranquilizing and highly energetic. Respiration and heart rate are only somewhat elevated. No fear or even generalized anxiety, but highly energized.
Additional notes
Strong diuretic effect also more prominent than my previous oral MAOI experiences.
I've since tried 0.125g/kg with good inhibition, much reduced diuretic and confused energy effects. I think 0.1mg/kg or even 0.05mg/kg would be worth investigating
No nausea, even at the higher dose especially when combined with dmt in my experience.
Placing lips above the drip tip - pan flute style - and gently inhaling is a pretty good technique. This might also be useful for regular eMesh use for those who need additional air for whatever reason
The auditory effects which are quite pronounced for 2-3min after toking but then gradually fading
"My Preferred Method of Using Harmala" By AugieWest
Emesh temperature control mode at 315°C. My preferred dosage is 10mg harmine freebase. Harmine doesn't melt well so I don't pre-melt it into the mesh like one does with dimitri, I just load the mesh and hit. But because the harmine is loose powder on the mesh, it can accidentally get sucked into your mouth if inhaled too hard.
Therefore I either close the air flow intake to only 20% open, or use my glass drip tip that has a narrower airway. The goal being to restrict air flow one way or another.
I begin by holding the fire button for 3 secs before I start inhaling. Then, while continuing to hold the fire button, I toke very gently for the next second or two, eventually ramping up to a normal, medium strength toke for the rest of the hit. This method keeps the loose powder on the mesh and prevents accidentally inhaling the powder.
I take a second hit with just a normal draw to smoke any remaining harmine. Harmine freebase on emesh is currently my preferred method of harmala dosing, although this may evolve over time.
"It Makes The RDA Dirty" By Hugh Fungus
Just as a heads-up, vaping harmala freebase can make your mesh RDA pretty oily and manky! I'm thinking of buying a 2nd RDA just for this purpose. I think this oily stuff crept into the contacts and affected the resistance (can't get it below 0.2 any more), so I'm giving mine a clean

Using 0.15mg per Kilo Bodyweight by irhawker
I've done this 10-15mg (I weigh ~85 kg so ~0.15mg/kg approx) both prior to DMT and on it's own. Augie West recommended 315°C, and I was slightly under than (~300°C). I've tried with harmine FB and harmaline FB, prefering the harmine for emesh.
I would say don't try to eyeball it - getting a higher dose than expected can be unpleasant, it just hits very fast and can be disorienting.. and like Sev said, it makes a mess of your RDA, definitely worth using a dedicated one for it
The vapour can be slightly hard to hold without coughing, it has a "spicy" throat feel to it and it's hotter than DMT vapor, but after a few tries you get used to it. I think I could move up to 315C with practice, but if you're new to it, start a tad lower. You have to be very gentle on the inhale because harmalas won't melt onto the emesh, so for the first couple seconds it's gotta be very gentle so you don't accidentally pull the powder off the mesh.
The haramala takes effect nearly as quickly as DMT, almost instantantaneous, though I guess it maybe intensifies in the ~2 min following the toke. Recommend being seated/stationary the first handful of minutes after toking.
