Pulsar vapes has some good, cheap, vape batteries that fit a 510 cartridge in and they look like a disposable nicotine vape. They also usually have auto draw which is nice. They also have a wizard pipe battery that looks like gandalfs pipe, not discreet in public but could be nice for at home, especially if you get a nice display stand like this lol https://makerworld.com/en/models/657155-tobacco-smoking-pipe-stand-for-long-short-stem
I would recommend even lower voltages than the ones commonly recommended (~2.7v), closer to 2.1v. 2.7v seems to be kinda harsh and lead to coughing, but lower voltages work just as well for delivering the medicine. Note also that peg400 is smoother/less harsh than propylene glycol (pg), and isn't much more expensive on amazon.
A bit of coughing and a scratchy throat is probably nothing compared to a cluster headache, but we might as well reduce as much suffering as we can while we're at it

Edit: https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/DMT#Legal_status In the US, DMT is classified as a schedule 1 drug and producing it is very illegal. See the link for legal status in other countries
One potential way to help is to learn how to "safely" source these things. The darknet market bible is a great resource (pm me if you need a copy), and look into reagent testing. Are there resources on how to build a vape pen if you have dmt? I'm guessing pre built pens are a lot harder to test than dmt crystals/powder, plus probably a bit more expensive
And once you know how to source it, ask people you know if they know anyone who suffers from cluster headaches. If so, you might be in a good position to become a citizen pharmacist or teach sufferers better ways to source medicine.
If you want to do this, make sure you know how to test your stuff. Do not give other people substances if you don't know exactly what's in them (you can not trust drug vendors word, you have to test it yourself when you get it), and make sure they know what it is, potential risks, and how to use it safely. And, stay safe yourself, read the dnmb carefully and understand the risk you take by doing this too
This is a good idea, pointed at by ideas like sentientism and the veil of ignorance (https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/fcM7nshyCiKCadiGi/how-the-veil-of-ignorance-grounds-sentientism) but the problem is, who counts as a "person" whose utility function "gets a say" in deep democracy? If it's only humans, that's just blatantly arbitrary and speciesist. If we just say vertebrates, we rule out beings that clearly have a stake and a utility function, like octopi. But if we make a properly general filter and include all sentient beings, or in other words, all beings that can experience positive or negative valence, or in other words all beings that have a utility function at all, then we have to include insects and maybe even springtails and nematodes, and suddenly the interests of humans are a rounding error in the aggregate utility function. Most humans don't like that and would see that as a tyranny of the majority
I left religion, and had to explore ethics/morality beyond "whatever the bible says is right". I went in a pretty utilitarian direction, and then arguing with my dad about how you can have morality without god, he said "but wouldn't that include animals too?" And I initially said yes, any reasonable moral framework should be able to tell you that e.g. kicking dogs is wrong, but thinking about it more got me to veganism.
it's definitely not reason alone, I really don't like suffering/pain, so I'm probably more emotionally against it in general (i.e. even when it's not me experiencing it) than a lot of people?
I will say too that I don't dislike all animals, I like hanging out with some cats and dogs
Hot take: the fact that we kill more animals per year than the total number of humans who've ever lived, and ~99% of them are factory farmed, I think animal agriculture is a moral atrocity that dwarfs all human problems (including throughout history).
