so im thinking of one had one of the excesivly fancy doodads it could be used to make fancy spice from the most basic spice or mesc extraction, just make some simple resin tek or something and at the point were it is spice all dissolved in liquid whatnots, you refraction window dry it and get some good xtals. now i know some folks are gonna come on this thread and say blah blah why do it that way when you can just do it chemy way, but i have a dream that one day we will be able to make pure spice without chem'ness.... anywhoo heres a write up on what a refractence window dryer is and does, tell me what you think
http://www.bsyse.wsu.edu...s-published/tang133a.pdf

seriously? nobody's got a take on this? im thinking it could totaly be used in crude resin tek for cactus or something, just cold brew the cactus strain it and run the liquid through the window dryer for high quality full spectrum mescaline flakes...

So I'm not the smartest person. But this is basically making tea and putting it in a glass dish with heated water underneath to evap the tea faster?

Sounds like pouring some aya into shallow trays on a food dehydrator to me. On a related note, now I need to look for some shallow trays that will fit into my food dehydrator...

well...if you follow the link there is a details write up with pictures as to exactly what a refractance window dryer is, but since you feel the need to guess at what it is without looking i shall summarize my understanding of it, it is essentially a conveyor belt with a see through belt and a mirror underneath a heat is applied to the lower chamber and refractoratorness reflects it through the window, with this your liquid is in a very thin layer constantly moving accross the drying surface the result is complete dehydration in a very fast time with very little heat, the product ends up better just from the high quality drying process it will end up as iridescent shiny flakes...extra aesthetic points plus theoreticly awsome mesc or spice from a simple process (aside from the fact that the window dryer itself is pretty expensive/complex)but thats why im questioning you folks, maybe someones clever enough to make one, or knows where to get one, or maybe they happen to know that it would or would not work well? soooo, special dehydrator for full spectrum water/alcohol based extracts?

Well I DID read that link and understand what it explains. But thank you for guessing that I didn't.
I was simply trying to convert this technology into a form more kitchen chemist friendly, since the
majority of us here at DMT-Nexus don't have extra thousands of dollars sitting around to make more
aesthetically pleasing drugs. I really just see this as a big waste of time and money for such a
small scale operation unless you are processing hundreds of kilos of raw materials for mass production.
Which we don't do here.

I don't see how the quality of mescaline would be affected from this either. Can you explain this part further?
Like I said, I'm not the smartest guy in the world.

well the technology was developed for high quality food that one does not want to be decreased in quality because of the drying process like blue green algae, you are probably right about it not being economics friendly unless one was making thousands of pounds or something.(thus my inquery, something previously thought not possible could be found feasible if you come to understand the process well enough) i suppose if i were to try and make it on a minimal budget it would have to be a seasonal thing because i would make a BIG glass or clear acrylic table thing with a big mirror under it, set the whole thing out in the sun then it would either be make sides and fill it with just enough liquid to barely cover the surface, and let it dissolve then scrape and do again, it might get hotter than optimum this way (or not hot enough if you live in the pcnw!) or put a container under it with a small water pump at the upper side(the whole thing would be set at a slight angle with this design) so then you would have the same thing basically, i like the no pump idea cause i dont like the prospect of having my liquid going through extra containers and tubes and stuff
to explain the difference in quality from regular drying, i would compare it to curing cannabis when done very well it makes the herb better, but when it is sloppily cured it decreases in quality dramatically,(it also looks much nicer when cured well so you could say that the aesthetics are a potential indicator or quality) if you had some regular dehydrated water extract and some RWD extract i garuntee you would prefer the RWD stuff
(rwd=refractence window dried)
if one had shallow trays in dehydrator it would probably be the simplest kindof close solution (ive never seen shallow trays for dehydrator?)

i dig this idea alot
