this is what's left over from 12 hour freeze precip, im not reusing the naphtha so im letting it evap on a cookie sheet, im really not sure if this is even dmt, what do you guys think. its still wet.

ok so i let it sit, and now all the white is gone. now its just a very thin layer of clear sticky goo

Any info on the tek?

What was your source material?
Did you basify with Lye/sodium carbonate?

It could be but if you basified with that sodium carbonate made in oven then it might be a bit of that in there too with the goods

i know little but should a plastic container be used? if that is plastic?

That does look to me to be one of those air tight plastic containers you store food in..

I once evaped a solvent in one of those and it kind of 'merged' with the plastic, as in once fully evaporated it actually bonded into a plastic-containing DMT-goo

@datdmt so get your spice out of there FAST, because from my very few experiences,, I lost my spice whilst in plastic.

50g of acacia C powdered bark using cybs hybrid tek and basified with lye. i dont think its dmt, its clear and there is maybe 5 mg of brown goo. im vaping the naphtha on a cookie sheet and im not seeing anything on that either.

Did you get that message datdmt or are you only coming to the DMT-Nexus for confirmation?


Kind regards,

Oh I hear you, this is a learning experience , I'm going to go ahead ad call this a failure, thank god I have 500g

Just out of curiosity, did it dry and did the plastic go all funny?

And is it just me.. Or is there a white opaque layer on the low sides of the container in the picture?

No it just turned into a very small amount of goo, about the size of a quarters edge. I don't think I let it sit in acid long enough , soon I'm going to let if sit in a ph 4 acid bath for a day or two , and defeat too.

Id add that one to the fail folder lol. Use glass dishes, not plastic. Imagine if you did have crystals in there and then you scraped them up with a razor. Youd probably end up scraping more plastic than crystals lol

It also looks like you got a couple globs of basic soup in there as well...

In the future just remember:

1.) Use glass. (some use HDPE #2 plastic but I'm a glass man)
2.) Decant carefully. *NO* basic mix in the solvent is acceptable unless you plan on cleaning it up further before use.

If I were you I would throw that container away... pretty useless now that the solvent has eaten away at it and it is likely laced with small amounts of DMT and plant matter/base.

Don't feel bad, my first extraction I bought a plastic turkey baster to decant and I realized I ruined my yield when the solvent ate away 25% of my baster.

UPDATE: ill post a pic soon , but the cookie sheet has dmt on it, im almost positive, i left it outside to evap since my room was starting to smell of paint thinner and when i came back a few hours later the whole sheet is covered in a orange goo and in the coor there is a wee bit of yellow crystal.

Bump

Hey, does your cookie sheet have a non stick coating? If so be careful... I really have no idea if the solvent would take the coating off so just saying.

Dude, you should use glass though... for everything which includes the evaporating. Pyrex baking dishes are like 6 dollars.

Yea man. I don't think you did your extraction well enough. Your result from 50g of acrb should be somewhere between .5g-1g. Be careful on what containers and pans you use too. Preferably use all glass, but when drying naptha alone you can use metals. Be careful of nonstick teflon coatings. Do NOT use plastics of any sort with naptha(I'm assuming you used naptha as your nonpolar solvent). I would start over with different equipment and not just random kitchenware. You're potentially going to ingest this substance, you might as well make sure its not highly toxic while you're at it.

As for your actual product. Make sure acid is 3-3.5pH, and your base is 13+pH. Let the acids soak for a few hours at a time per acid soak. You should be doing 2-3 acid soaks with fresh acids every time. Combine them, evaporate them down to a small amount, then basify to ph13+. You should be able to pull everything with 200ml naptha.

clear goo from ACRB is an indication of DMT being present.

i surely do hope so, im trying another pull atm , this time in a shot glass, the naphtha looks like skim milk in the freezer , so fingers crossed. the first pull technically had an emulsion , and so did this pull, but i cleared it up with salt and heat.

fingers. freaking. crossed.

Shot glass is good. Remember that open naptha in a freezer can contaminate your food supply.
