Hey guys, SWIM just did his first DMT extraction today and it worked a treat. He can't believe how easy it was. He did the Lazy mans Tek with 50g of MHRB. He used some Perma lighter fluid as his solvent. But he would like to buy a larger amount of solvent cheaper for future use.

The only larger containers of lighter fluid he could find was BBQ lighter fluid. Would it work?


Maybe something like this:

Or if anyone has any other suggestions? White spirit is also very cheap but SWIM read it doesn't evap very well.

Thanks!

BBQ lighter fluid probably isn't pure naptha. I wouldn't recommend using it. Stick with Perma or Ronsonol. If you want the process to be more cost-effective, re-use your solvent.

I bought BBQ lighter fluid ages ago because it said "light naphtha" on the back, but was dirty when i did a test evap. I looked up the msds and it had paraffin in it, so i wouldn't use it. Check your local market, as i have found Ronsonol in quite a few places for a quid each. I religiously recycle my pulls after freeze precipitating the goods and it really saves money in the end too. Hope that helps!
