Your experience sounds about right for a first attempt at an aethyer. Here is something they do not tell you about scrying an aethyr, there is a big difference between scrying it and getting in the aethyr. The first few times you try, you will only be able to see into it, and not let in. Mark Stavish in "Between the Gates" says the aethyrs are a good way to test your initiatory level. If you try a aethyr that is beyond you, you will not be let in. He compares it to taking an elevator to a floor but cannot get off, only can see a bit before the doors shut again. This has been my experience and checking with others who have done a lot more enochian work, they have confirmed the same with me.
My advise is keep trying. It was my third or fourth attempt before I was let into TEX. The first few attempts were as you described, odd bits of visions that came on quickly and left quickly. Finally when I did get in, it was a completely different experience. You will find yourself almost physically there and can see and interact with the occupants. Also don't be concerned with the odd effects that accompany the reading of the call. That still happens to me as well, find my vision fades in and out as I read it and get odd physical and auditory phenomenon as well. Almost like pre-astral projection type sensations.
Also be sure to perform a thorough banishing before and after. You cannot banish an aethyr, the effect just has to ware off, but attempts to get in do seem to attract some nastiness to you. That has been my experience as well. Good luck!
