(Amor fati's TEK)

Today I started experimenting with 100 grams of mimosa in a mason jar.

Water was heated to 80 degrees, which I finally used for TEK.

I gradually mixed using 100ml of vinegar along with 100ml of water to mix the mimosa in the preserve.

After 1 hour, I started working with the lime, also for 1 hour. Also added some water so that it is not too hard. It became a moving mass.

1 hour later, I started mixing in the orange oil, 200ml! I mixed for an hour and a half with breaks.

I then filtered 90% of the orange oil through a strainer, which flowed out easily.

Then, using the FASW method, I properly mixed the fumaric acid in water heated to 65 degrees.

After that, I mixed the FASW into the orange oil Jena ... I used about 150ml, I stirred periodically for half an hour.

Nothing much happened after that. I put it all in the fridge, but nothing really settles!

What to do? I'm sad, I thought TEK would be successful, I screwed myself well.

Have you extracted successfully from this same batch of bark before? It could simply be weak or bunk bark.

Why did you add so much vinegar? MHRB itself is slightly acidic, so you're increasing the amount of lime needed in the process - admittedly, only by a small amount.

It sounds like the main problem is that your FASW/DMT fumarate solution has disappeared into the limonene. This may be a problem arising from suspended lime particles in the limonene, which tends to promote the formation of emulsions.

It's still worth your while to let the lime/bark paste digest for a few more days, then you can try another limo pull. Just make sure that the next limo pull is not cloudy at all before adding the FASW. This can be done by leaving it to settle overnight in the refrigerator and then decanting away from any sediment.

You may be able to sort out your first limo pull by filtering it, or simply by being patient. Or you could try washing out the trapped product (if any) with a larger amount of distilled or deionized water.

It was written in the TEKs to use as much vinegar as mimosa powder.

I have since found out what the problem is.

I had to extract liquid with the help of a glass ... now I could separate the bottom of the darkened part, which was about 150ml.

I'm inexperienced. I've never had a DMT trip before. I want one as soon as possible. I hope to get it done by the weekend.

Just bear in mind, once you've evaporated the FASW pull, you'll have to convert it back to freebase with someting like sodium carbonate paste. Then, after drying the paste, the product can be recovered with acetone or isopropanol. Evaporation should leave an alkaloidal goo.

If you're planning to consume the DMT orally you can skip this last freebasing step, but your amounts may be off due to contamination with calcium fumarate and excess fumaric acid. Thus, some kind of clean-up step is desirable - recrystallisation from boiling IPA,for example.
