tried the noman's tek for my first time. had small little collections start within a couple hours in the freezer but nothing more has happened. still a large amount of naptha. guess there's too much naptha and needs to be evaporated a bit  only used about 30mL naptha for every gram of powdered bark and i did use 1.5x the amount of water for the powdered bark. i know that being my first time, i have to be very patient. it just seems like there has to be a best/favorite tek in this forum and it would probably be based upon ease/yield and i would love all the opinions i can get. i'm not giving up on my first batch. gonna set it out with (some sort of filtering) medium on top of it and let it evaporate a little. any suggestions/pointers on how long to evap? i do have some pics (of what the layer on top of the mixing jar looks like and what the 4 pulls looked like if that would help diagnose my blunder). looking forward to trying another tek or way, perhaps, next time. thanks again for the advice... embrace your nothingness...it's all you are...

SWIM's cat prefers q21's A/B (dry) tek. He's not really fond of the idea of having the liquid layers and needing to make adequate separatory funnel devices (or modifying the containers in some way), etc. Once he has better access to equipment he may switch to STB (just because it seems more practical for larger scale extractions), but for now q21's A/B tek is deff the one involving the most ease with the most yield = 1.2% and over consistently, of PURE WHITE NN-DMT (if you use naphtha). He'll try doing some xylene pulls when he gets a hold of some probably, try to extract the other alks from the mix!

It depends how I'm feeling. Though I'm not a fan of messy (dry) teks as I like to deal with nice easy to pour liquids and get them as transparent as possible.
It gets me off.
Ya hear!

For yield, BLAB all the way; for sheer elegance, Vovins tek. I am paranoid of my brain. It thinks all the time, even when I'm asleep. My thoughts assail me. Murderous lechers they are. Thought is the assassin of thought. Like a man stabbing himself with one hand while the other hand tries to stop the blade. Like an explosion that destroys the detonator. I am paranoid of my brain. It makes me unsettled and ill at ease. Makes me chase my tail, freezes my eyes and shuts me down. Watches me. Eats my head. It destroys me.

I enjoy recrystallization so I don't mind going with STB. It seems like the most user friendly method.
