Hello everybody, SWIM has just bougth 200g of Chaliponga on Maya shop to make his own DMT crystals; There are a lot of extraction teks on this site (especially wiki), which he read, but he still have some questions about it. SWIM think tahat the best method for Chali is Vovin tek, but there are a lot of big differences between vovin and for example q21s... First big difference is how high temperature can/should I reach while acidating the Chaliponga? Q21 says that it should be boiled (so I understand that it should be about 100 celsius for couple hours), but Vovin says that it CANNOT be boiled, just keep it warm (50-70 celsius? More? Less?); There are a lot of differences like that, according to pH on each steps of extraction, temperatures, number of defats etc. Could you explain which method is correct to maximize yields?
I created this topic because I would like to unify the way of extraction with Chaliponga, not MRHB, cause Chaliponga is in my country (and lots of other countries) only legal DMT-indicate plant...
Ok, so next thing is present you SWIMs plan for extraction:
He need to have (thats wat SWIMS said to me it is quotation):
-200g Chaliponga grinded to flour
-DCM (non-polar solvent)
-citric acid/vinegar 10% (Which is better to have more and more persistent DMT salt?)
-jugs, jars, pots and so on
-pH test papers
-NaOH(lye) or Ca(OH)2 or CaO (which is better? Which is safe and don't cause SWIM's spice harsh?)
-coffee paper filters, funnel
-kitchen with electric oven and electric induction hob, NO FLAME
-distilled water
STEPS:
0 - Make a pH 4 water.(? 4 or 2? There is a contradiction between diff. teks)
1 - Chaliflour to big Jar and pour it with acidic water (how much water on one batch with 200g chali?)
2 - Keep it warm (50C) in water batch for couple hours (2? 4? One day?) Then, decant water to big glass dish
3 - Make upper thing 3 times; filter the water solutions througt coffee filters
3.5 - Throw away chaliponga flour (Is it useless now? Maybe Can I do some light huasca? Maybe another extraction?)
4 - Collect acidic, DMTsalt water and reduce it in oven (not overheat) to about 300-500ml
5 - Make defat with 100ml of DCM (or naphta better?). Should I shake naphta with acidic water or just stir or what? Should non-polar solvent be warm or cold, and the same question for acidic solution
.
6 - Make many defats (how can I recognize that it is enough defatting?)
7 - Make alkaline water with base (pH 12? 14? or maybe less, 10? 9?)
8 - Pour alkaline water into my acidic soluton to receive a pH (how much? 9,10,11,12,13,14?) Should I warm it?
9 - Extract the freebase DMT from basewater with 150ml of DCM (to extract a full-spectrum alkaloids), What are recomended temperatures for: DCM? Basewater? Should I keep it warm in water batch? How long should I mix DCM with basewater (what is a lasting for one extraction?); What is a recommended way to mix basewater with dcm? Shaking, stiring? What?
10 - Do it 3-4 times
11 - Collect DCM fractions, and throw away basewater...
12 - Reduce DCM? Or maybe not? If should I do it, to what capacity?
13 - Normal-temperature-DCM pour into the jar and add to it 50ml of water to wash a solution from base (lye or sth), collect the DCM and throw away the water
14 - Evaporate all the DCM and scrap the extracted freebase (n,n-dmt + dmt oxide + jungle dmt + bufo + 5meo)
What is expected yield?
Please answer on my questions with form, for example:
0 - Better is 4 because: sososososo
1 - 1 liter on each bath to sososososososo
etc.
I am confused especially about temperatures of water and solvents on each steps, time periods of every extractions (acid and base, defatting etc.), and amounts of liquids in use;
Ofcourse, I realize that there might be a lot of ways to do it, so that I expect answer from advanced users, ideally chemists;
I am a new member of this forum, but certainly NOT a unconscious begginer so please don't underestimate me ;D
If you help me, I'll make a photostory "How to extract spice from Chaliponga" ^^
PS - Sorry for my engish because I am not from english-language-country ^^

TO MODERATOR: Please move the topic to A/B extraction tek or to general extraction questions please
