While trying to recrystallise, I accidentally dropped the jar I was using, so now I've got a gram or two of spice floating in a few hundred ml of water.
How can I rescue my spice?

Pull with warm naptha, separate, then freezer precipitate. Just like in the extraction. to be careful you could add a little bit of sodium carbonate or lye to the water beforehand to make sure all the DMT is still freebased in case the water is slightly acidic if it is filtered it will likely be nasty and gooey and maybe never dry fully Q21Q21's Tek: A comprehensive guide to extracting DMTThe 2 teks use non-toxic lime and vinegar and Tek 1: d-Limonene or Xylene or Tek 2: Naptha to produce very quick high yields with the greatest of ease.I am almost never on this site anymore so I will likely not answer PMs

I thought of doing that, but how do I tell what is solvent and what is water? They're both the same colour.

Naptha always floats on water... always Q21Q21's Tek: A comprehensive guide to extracting DMTThe 2 teks use non-toxic lime and vinegar and Tek 1: d-Limonene or Xylene or Tek 2: Naptha to produce very quick high yields with the greatest of ease.I am almost never on this site anymore so I will likely not answer PMs

Ok, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to tell where the naphtha stopped and the water started, but there is sufficient discolouration in the water, not to mention a hefty skin of DMT sludge (my spiiiice  ) between the two layers. I think I can stop crying now. Thanks

...Or just evaporate off the liquid?

Adding acetone to the goo would help the water evaporate faster, but it would use up acetone when you could just use some nonpolar solvent to pull it off the water, as long as the water is basified somewhat. I suppose it depends on whether you would rather use up acetone or nonpolar solvent.

I used warm naphtha to do about 5 pulls or so, because I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Seems to have worked a charm. My main concern was that I would have trouble discerning the naphtha from the water, but there was enough of a discolouration to see the difference. My spice should be ready for recrystallisation soon
