Hi Harleybo,
Do you think if one were to do an acacia extraccion with the pickling lime "Fluffy white funfest tek", and then pull with heptane as Kula did, he or she would get the same results?

IME no matter the tek, or bark used; If heptane is the initial nps, it will pull a cleaner product. However, Bc it is harder to find/more expensive, it seems as though using naphtha is recommended for the simple fact that its readily available everywhere. Conclusion; Pull with naphtha, and clean with heptane. Unless you have a steady supply of course, but you'd be missing out on all the other active "mystery" alkaloids that the various source material have to offer. I'm still learning about Jungle Spice and methods to pull it from "spent" basic bark soup. Just hesitant to use harsher solvents. It doesn't seem worth the hassle required for the remaining "extraneous alkaloids" that make up Jungle Spice is it worth it? -Once you're shown an expanded reality, a divine inter-connectivity beyond explanation, your perception is forever changed.

Pics from the last batch all combined and re-x with heptane.

That's very potent stuff.
Just tried it today from a very small pull. q21q21's tek with too much water. The next pulls should be better...
Anyway, wow! That was the most beautiful and intense trip I've ever had: Everything just turned icy white and spectacular.

Back again to attempt to understand more about initial acid boil phases prior to defat and adding base. id like to start with 200g acrb and was wondering what others recommend as far as acid boils, combining boils and then proceeding with the extraction once all plant matter is filtered out. I have never conducted an acid boil REDUCTION. I usually start by soaking acrb in an acid bath (2-3pH) then add a saline solution then base. My question is whether or not doing the acid BOILS and subsequent reductions will increase the efficiency or yield as ive been having issues with plant matter remaining suspended near the meniscus, thus making it difficult to pull/separate NPS from aqueous solution without pulling trace plant material. ive read that i should boil the plant matter 200g acrb to 500ml h2o strain, and repeat, up to 3-4 times then adding all filtered bark solution and further reducing it prior to adding saline and then base. having issues with a new source acrb not producing like im used to, and seeking ways to increase yield. all advice welcome! -Once you're shown an expanded reality, a divine inter-connectivity beyond explanation, your perception is forever changed.
