Hi Nex friends,

As seen on TV SWIM follown the Q21Q21's tek and after 3 pulls he got three differents colors of fresh smelling goo from really dark to more yellowish and he was just wondering if he could mix everything together or if they might be different qualities?...

After evap down in a dehydrator he was thinking making some changa from the acetate disolved in IPA but he saw somewhere that acetate has to be transformed in freebase (with sodium carbonate for exemple...) to be smoked... Is it true or throwing his magnificient goo with some leaves as is is a safe and right way??? (acetate transformed with the low heat??... so nice and ready?)
On the top of that what about if some orange oil is trapped in the acetate, is it ok to smoke or it is better to wash it?(so how?)

Sorry for the bunch of questions but SWIM doesn't seem to find the answers, he is so happy to get a good yield (IHO...1.15g from 62g MRHB in 3 pulls) but doubts arised too as a first attempt!

Finally he wanted to thank this nice and welcoming place to provide all these infos and support, the fresh spicy smell is so rewarding.

Thanks for your answers friends

Hi there,
After long hours looking for answers SWIM decided to toss the goo with some nice herbs in some IPA and dried the whole thing. At the end he found a loss of 250mg when wheighted, could it be because he had some orange oil left in the goo that evaporated?

Anyway he's probably gonna try his changa (40% mullein, 40% damiana, 20%passion flower) tonight then, what a funny SWIM full of uncertainty!!...

yeah it could be solvent remains that evaporated. Your stuff is probably fine to smoke if the converted acetates dont smell of vinegar anymore, and mixing diff colors is no problem in this case

good luck!

Thanks endlessness, SWIM was feeling unsure and unsecure about his extrac so he loaded a small dose of changa yesterday night and it was actually quite strong!! The general atmosphere was different than pure NN, maybe more warming??
He can't wait to test the full potential of his new "toolbox" that he extracted himself from raw plant material, OOH YEEAAAH!!!! Let's have a forest trip!

He said that it is a so different feeling and relationship with the end product when you know nearly all the steps have been controled by one self and loving care was the general mood during the process...
By the way a big THANKS to Q21Q21 for his tek as it is so quick and easy to get a nice yield with the peace of mind to use only natural (organic, food grade...) products and avoid any nasty chemicals.

Thanks guys, SWIM will keep you updated when he gets his ass kicked...

ps: a quick question, would apple cider vinegar work instead of white vinegar?

love and gratitude
