Are the yields higher, with not so much mesc in the water which is hard to get out? I am currently trying 250 Ml. vice 300. Any thoughts?I think you guessed right. I use a little water as possible, just enough to get all the powder moist.
Any challenges using a little more lime than 25G? Yes, you will have excess lime floating around in the limonene. This lime is hard to filter out, even with a coffee filter. I often find excess lime sitting at the bottom of the limonene, just above the vinegar layer. Not much, if any, ends up in the final product, but it does make the extraction a little more difficult.
can I reuse my d-limo? Can 300 Ml.s be used for 3-4 pulls on my 100 G. cacti? I imagine some loss due to oil and gunk in it, but will it still be effective?Yes. Yes. The dirtier your limo, the less mesc that is pulled out. So using clean limo should pull out more mesc.
Can it be used again for another 100 G. batch, or is that stretching it?You could, but yes I think that is stretching it.
Will 4 saltings with vinegar on my first pull be effective, or will 3 be more than enough?I do 4 saltings on each pull. I will get product on the fourth salting of the fourth pull, but it's like less than 5% of the total yield. That's when I think I have done enough. I'm sure If I did a fifth pull and 4 more saltings I would get get another 0.5-0.1g but it's almost not worth it.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I'm correct in my answers. I'm certainly no chemist.
