what doe guys best use for cheap separating containers? Using a baster and syringes out of a glass juice bottle at the moment, but is there an HPDE equivalent of a lab glass cylinder (which I used to use until it smashed). Anyone think of suitable, cheap alternatives that are safe? Did a quick chck for HDPE cylinders but had no luck, there must be somethng that will take it's place at a budget.
Thanks.

Thanks. You can use a sep funnel. To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour.

You could also construct a siphoning device as suggested and illustrated by fellow-nexian Viracocha on the 1st page of The DMT HandbookGood luck  "Pay attention. And keep breathing." - T. McKenna (1946-2000)

Hi guys.
I could get a sep funnel, but I'm worried as I use a straight to base technique - so there are 2 layers, the higher one is solent, the lower one a sludge of basified water and plant material.
If I use a sep funnel, it's going to clog, and I guess that the sludge will adhere to the sides of the funnel; what I want is the solvent in the top, not ideal for a funnel.
I do wnat a very cheap, large sep funnel for cactus extracts and general use, if someone had a a link to someone who amde them that would be great, but for now I need a solution on getting the top layer off cleanly and easily. I could use syphoning with some kind of system rigged to put it input at the layer between the immicible liquids I guess but would like a more elegant solution.
Thanks.
