Okay so I've search the relevant areas of the forum for a statement that says which extraction tek would be best (easiest, least likely to encounter problems) for a first timer. From what I can tell its the STB. But I just want to make sure so I can study the tek a bit before the day comes.

Thankyou, sorry for bringing up a question that no doubt has been asked before.

-

Hmmm I know I can get naptha from a hardware shop/pool store but can you buy limonene without using the net?

-

Oh okay, as long as its used for cleaning then it should be sold in stores here. Im in Australia. No nee dfor anyone to go to the trouble of finding a store, I can do this Thanks heeps!

Good luck. To my knowledge limonene hasn't been found to be sold in stores yet (although thats just what I've read/asked). Best bet is to order off "greenterpene"? Or something I think. I'm not sure, but a lot of cleaning products might have limonene, as well as have bunches of other chemicals. So make sure you check, and be careful! Also, if you find a product with pure limonene then please post your findings

Yeah, if worst comes to worst I'll settle for the naptha.

A few suggestions:

1- Always check the FAQ before asking questions

2- Then run a search, and search relevant keywords.

Results for headers with 'best tek':

What is the best/easiest Extraction Tek for a 1st time n00b

What is the easiest tek...

What is the best mimosa hostilis root bark tek for time and decent yield and potency

Best tek? first timer about to use nomans tek

What is the best DMT extraction tek in your opinion?

(please dont make others do the easy job you can do yourself next time )


3- If after the search and FAQ check you still havent found your answer and its really just a quick question, you can use the Official Extraction Help Thread (its a sticky in this subforum). This way the forum is not crammed with 'quick questions'.

4- When you make a new thread, please add the correct title to it. If you just put 'quick question', then nobody will know what its about unless they click on it. This also means if someone uses the search function for the headers "best tek", they wont find your thread because you didnt properly add the title. Think of every post you make not only as something for yourself but something that can potentially help others in the future too. (I edited the thread title now)


hope this helps

Yes def use limonene over Naptha, I started with naptha and have since converted, not going back.

1. Follow endlessness advice.
2. Read a few teks and find one that satisfies the following conditions:
a) all hardware and chemicals are available
b) you feel comfortable with it and understand every step.
3. Do not use all your spice-containing material for your first extraction. Run a small-scale extraction first.
4. Write down what you're doing.
5. Do not discard any byproducts before you finish the process successfully.

P.S. If your naphta is of good quality, do not be afraid to use it.

Thanks for all the replys. The search tool didn't work for me last time I typed a word in :l Thought it might have been a different kind of search tool. I shall use it from now on.

Much love BS

i've found that the search tool here doesn't work so well, and doesn't provide posts in an easy to navigate manner.


try this - got to google and type in whatever you are lookin for and "dmtnexus", the posts will come up and you can also click on the portion of the search results that says "more results from dmtnexus"

it will also pull up info from the dmtnexuswiki and other sites which may have pertinent info.

The reason you are not getting any direct responses is that there are too many variables:

availability of materials
time you want to spend
equipment availability
quantity you want to extract
freezer space
safe evapping space
whether being foodsafe/enviro friendly is important to you
cost of materials in your area (varies greatly)
etc etc

In short, there is an easiest tek for YOU, as there is for me, but it depends on a number of factors. Read the teks, take notes on equipment and materials/substances, research availability/cost, read threads regarding the differences between teks, and then choose one and dive in!!

P.S. and listen to endlessness and trickster's advice!

Lazyman's tek is pretty easy... But in all honesty they are all pretty much the same... just different ways to do the same thing. My advice would be to understand the full process, then follow the other teks while making your own (although I was never one to follow someone, always trying to make my own path) and you'll find the process to be easy, and you'll understand it better than simply reading and following directions, IMO/IME.
