Help me help you and new people to find this easy to read cut to the chase chart. With everyones help this can be the go to post regarding solvents and other related things.


Hey guys, this is SWIM's WIP cheat sheet that SWIM decided to write up to condense hours of reading different posts and opinions into one place.

This guide was made mostly for acacia acuminata extraction research. But could be applied to other plants

This covers main solvents that i commonly see used SWIM probably missed a few. Help SWIM update this chart and correct mistakes in the replies. Thanks




Solvents

FULL SPECTRUM

Xylene: Full spectrum alkaloids
(can't freeze percipitate, evaporation only)

Toulene: Full spectrum alkaloids
(can't freeze percipitate, evaporation only)

d-limonene: Full spectrum alkaloids
(can't freeze percipitate, evaporation only)

- Creates DMT acetate
- Needs to be converted to freebase
- Sticky/gooey orange


SELECTIVE

Hexane: Selective extration
Can freeze percipitate or evaporate

Heptane: Selective extration
Can freeze percipitate or evaporate

Naptha aka (shellite): Selective extration
Can freeze percipitate or evaporate

DCM aka (Dichloromethane): Selective extration
(can't freeze percipitate, evaporation only)


RECRYSTALIZATION:

Best re-x aka (recrystalization)

Naptha
Heptane
Hexane

ACIDS:

Best acids to use for acid/base extraction

Phosphoric acid (best apparently)
Hydrochloric acid
Sulphuric acid

Acetic acid (aka vinegar) shouldn't be used. Due to mixed results. probably due to it being a weak acid and not binding to the dmt properly.

Have you checked the Wiki in order to avoid duplication of effort?

e.g., http://wiki.dmt-nexus.me...vent_physical_properties


Other than that, while your idea is admirable enough it could still do with a considerable amount of padding out from this rudimentary state.

I agree. Thats what feedback is for.
