Where did you learn not to heat base soups from , because all the people I've spoke with say heating up to 45-50c and cooling to room temp in cycles is a very important part of the TEK in question as it truely does effect the yeilds , aswell Traveling Tommy is pulling from confusa !!!

Finally got my first extraction under my belt with cybs salt tek using ACRB, one thing i did notice is my first pull turned into goo as soon as i evaporated all the nahptha, i was puzzled about it so i performed a re-x and the next day i had some BEAUTIFUL snowflakes that glistened in the light, i wanted to make sure i didnt turn those back into goo so i tried this process and it worked beautifully! I drained off the naphtha, let the bowl sit at an angle in the freezer for about an hour, then i put the bowl in the fridge for an hour, after most of the condensation had left and the solvent was gone, i put the dish in front of a fan on its side for about 45 minutes and then turned it straight up and put a ceiling fan over it overnight...i woke up this morning to very hard crystals that dont break apart when i touch them, very clean smelling as well. Since this worked so well on my re-x i did the same procedure with my other pulls and none of my snowflakes turned into goo, and some of the more yellow crystals had turned a shade or 2 whiter overnight. Success!! Love you guys, happy travels! humuluslupuluslove attached the following image(s): 1403463023587.jpg (4,925kb) downloaded 437 time(s).

I guess i used the wrong terminology there, the crystals i was referring to where more like snowflakes... I've read up a bit about crystal growing and i am certainly not there yet.. Although i am doing another extract today so i may experiment a bit... Much love guys thanks for all the help

By heat I meant boil, like you would the acid solution. But heat isn't necessary at all. You can do a room temp(or colder) extraction and not suffer any yield.

Earth,
How much was your yield with that 100g ACRB?
You were doing room-temp pulls, right?
I yielded 1.2g from my 100g ACRB. I combined 6 pulls and pre-evapped, but I didn't do the backsalting step.

On this batch 1.7% that's with the defat so I'd reckon if I didn't defat or back salt I'd reckon with the plant fats etc I'd get close to 2% , I no some ppl proberly thinking bs but I have no reason to exaggerate ! I do my pulls with hot naps ( shellite ) and hot base soup , I also use hcl instead of vinegar or other acids , and I give a good shake as it seperates fine as it gets cooler it separates a little slower , and I find after 567or 8 pulls it starts to get more dusty or the pulls tend to get alittle purplely or pink but I have done up to 20+ pulls on one batch and it kept giving , and that the thing I love about confusa it's a fantastic teacher !
