Evaporating d-limonene will require lots of heat. It has a quite high boiling point.

It will, but takes ages. Compare it to veggie oil.
Distilling it without water requires temperature of 200 C, which most probably will render your stuff inactive.
Best bet will be to distill it with water. It's boil just under 100C when it's mixed. If you're actives can handle 100C, that would be your fastest option (if of course the active fats/oil have a higher or lower boiling point, otherwise it will come over with the limonene leaving you in the same place you started)
BTW Welcome @ the Nexus.

That would be doable. So it's the freebase you're after?

Still I think you're better of using a solvent which evaporates more easily.

You could do your main extraction with D-limonene, and then do your second mini A/B with a small amount of acetone.
The advantage is that it boils away at 60C so you can easily boil it away au bain marie outside of course.
I'm not really experienced in the DMT extraction part so better wait for some good advice from the experts here.

But just for giggles if we are talking opinion I would think limonene is just as safe as acetone. And in that case namptha(my choice) come with my arms, eyes and wings spread wide.

D-Limonene ORAL LD50 5600 mg/kg Acetone ORAL LD50 5340 mg/kg (Reminder: lower value means more toxic. Anything above 2000 mg/kg can be regarded as non toxic.) In all of reality there are not two. There is just the one thing. And I am that.

I hope this isn't mistook for saying that these chemicals are safe to handle with out cation!!! They are all potential hazards if ingested or vapor is inhaled. Along with several other risks associated with "thinners" come with my arms, eyes and wings spread wide.

But is the ld50 measured orally if the test chemicals arent food grade. I was thinking subdermal come with my arms, eyes and wings spread wide.
