Hi!

Yesterday I finished the first pull of my STB Nomans tek.

I put 50g MHRB+42g lye+600ml demineralized water.

This is the result of the first pull with 50ml of hexane.








Total: 270 mg, more or less.

My doubts are that it smells strong, as an almost dry barnish. And if I touch it, the spice is like greasy between the fingers. More than greasy, similar to the rough touch of a resin.

What do you think about this?

I have to say that I evaporated the hexane, I think next pull I will freeze to precipitate it. Opinions please.

Thanks.

Looks good to me.

You should have several more good pulls in there.

The oily feel is normal.

I really try not to handle the spice with my fingers unless I absolutely have to.

In this post we share what we use to handle spice.

Congrats on your first extraction and welcome to the Nexus!

Considering that you did a STB and evaporated the solvent, you’ve got a very clean result (although the yield seems a bit low). DMT has a waxy feel, so that’s normal. As far as any odors – chop up your product a bit more and let it air-dry for a day or so.

(Also, when posting photos, please resize them so they’re not gigantic.)

well done!

Sorry for the gigantic photos! I posted them from my mobile device and I didn't realized the size.

Thanks for the answers, I'm still pulling spice from those 50 grams. Thanks again!

Very nice xD

Like stated above, evaporating tends to get waxy 'feel/look' to it, as there is a lot of fats/oils in it as well

Hello again!

Updates:
Until now, I made 4 pulls from these 50g. The result I think are great: 830mg.

I got another pull in the freeze now and I can see a good amount of precipitated crystals again.

How many pulls do you do usually? Until there is no trace of DMT crystals in the hexane?

Congrats xD Now just to clean it up xD
