I am posting this in the knowledge that it will almost certainly be deleted and result in another suspension or removal of my account.

It was suggested to me tonight (by someone who doesn't extract, but who truly enjoys spice) that I consider adding a magnetic stirrer to my teks. So I am wondering if anyone has used one and what results they had.

I dont see why your post would be deleted, honestly dont see the point of your first sentence.

As for the topic itself, yeah ive used magnetic stirrer plenty of times, makes the mixing work much easier and safer.

Mag stirrers are a very useful piece of lab equipment. Particularly if they can heat too.
I wouldn't mind muddling through DMT extraction without one, I've done it before, but I'd be damned if I'd force myself to make mescaline without one.
At one point I didn't have a functional one when I decided to make THH, so rather than waiting for shipping I built a mag stirrer out of a computer fan and an old hard drive [they contain great magnets].

There are three basic grades. Adjustable stir-only, uncontrolled heating plus adjustable stirring, and adjustable heat plus adjustable stirring. Though I have seen antique ones with only one speed setting. Think carefully about which one you'll need now, and in a few years. Getting the cheapest version now might not make sense if your going to be steadily increasing your lab activities over time.

A centrifuge can also be very handy in the lab.

I second the home made stirrer. I have made a few from cannibalized computer parts and 12v dc chargers. I'm working on my best one yet right now. An LED light controller is cheap and works very well to control fan speed for the 12v computer fans.

My last post was deleted and I was suspended for a week without any warning or explanation. It seems that a mod doesn't want me posting here.

Anyway thanks for replying and thanks for all the other excellent replies. I'll look into making my own stirrer.

Here is another question. Do you guys use a stirrer at every stage, or just after adding the NPS? Thanks in advance.

I have no idea what this may have been about, but please consider the following piece of friendly advice:
Have another read through the Attitude Page just in case. Then you can be sure that what you say or the way that you say it, won't fall foul of these necessary rules in future.




“There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work."
― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli
