Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're doing here, but DMT is very soluble in naphtha and plant fats/oils/NMT are only slightly soluble. So precipitating at room temperature would leave behind some DMT, and all the other stuff. Some of the DMT will still be left in the solvent.
A defat would absolutely remove the plant oils, if you are saying they are soluble in naphtha. Defatting is similar to the concept you are describing, but much easier. It is as simple as doing one relatively large naphtha pull on the solution before basifying. This simple step will remove anything that is not an alkaloid but is soluble in naphtha (i.e. the plant fats/oils you claim to be removing).
De fatting is something i should have tryed but just lazy and skiped it...
Besides..Ive read that de fatting probibly doesnt remove all fats and oils..
And now that i found a way to get this done in even less time by simply pouring off the last 20 percent of un evaporated napatha ...It works for me..
I wish I could show you the dry crystiline powder im getting ..!!
I think you would then understand why im happy with the final product from acacia...
Ive also vaped this stuff and its quite potent..
Im also happy with its ease of handling..it can be fine like white flour or salt..
I noticed that if stored in plastic zip lock bag some of it sticks to sides of plastic bag a little ..but doesnt melt or lump up ..
I took no chemistry in school.. im just using common sense and observation from my many atempts with acacia and found out that much of the plant oils remain in last 20 percent of the evaporating napatha ..so just pour it off into another jar..
Then tip crystal dish upright.. slanting a little downward alowing remaining napatha to drain downwards and quickly place fan in front of dish...5 or 10 minutes later super dry powdery crystals...simple..
Any doubts about purity?..then re crystalize..by re desolving powder and evaporate again and pour off remaining 20 percent and there it it maybe a little cleaner..
Doing things by the book is good!.. but sometimes we learn things by simple observation..
This method is easy to do.. if you have time try it and see the end product you may like it..
Try this method i would like to hear your opinion...
