I'm going to be doing my first extraction soon, I found a tek on this site that seemed like a good start, but I changed it for my needs. Will this tek work well?

Ratio: 1G Acacia : 1G Lye : 1 mL Naphtha : 10 mL purified water

1. Add 1,000 ml of purified room temperature water to a jar.

2. Add 100 grams of powdered Acacia to the jar, shake hard, set aside for 30 minutes.

3. Add 100 grams of Lye to the jar, shake, let it sit for 30 minutes, then let it sit in a heat bath.

4. Add 100 mL of Naphtha to the jar.

5. Let the Naphtha sit until is seperates, swirl and turn the jar. Repeat this 3 times. On the final time, pull the Naphtha.

6. Place the pulled Naphtha into a seperate jar.

7. Repeat steps 4-6 until you have a total of 4 to 6 pulls.

8. Place the pulled jar of Naphtha into the freezer.

9. After 24 hours, take the jar out of the freezer then pull the Naphtha.

10. Put the jar back into the freezer up-side down to remove any excess Naphtha for 1 hour.

11. Remove the jar from the freezer and scrape out the DMT onto a dish.

12. Cover the dish with saran wrap, and leave in a dark place for 24-48 hours.

13. Harvest the DMT and put the finished product in 1-2 bags and a jar, keep in a dark area.

This should work but I would recommend not just letting a mixture sit with naphtha- mix it around every so often to get more contact between molecules to grab the alkaloids.

Thanks for the tip.

Pulling from a very hot solution results in more oily product, but there is no need to leave the water and lye solution sit for a whole hour after making it.

STB I work the other way round and add lye to bark/water mixture and it happily endures the high initial temperature (just don’t add non polar solvent when very hot).

Why would the mixture heat up?

you should seriously consider using https://wiki.dmt-nexus.m...ybrid_ATB_%27Salt%27_Tek
reportedly doubles normal yeild to 2%

Mixing NaOH and H2O causes a reaction that generates quite a bit of heat.

Basically I would not wait that whole hour, I would wait until it is cool enough that I can hold the container it is in comfortably and not burn myself.

Obtaining Mimosa isn't an option for me currently.
I'll definitely try other teks after my first initial try.

Oh, alright.
Thank for the tip.

The salt tek that was posted above would work just as well for Acacia Confusa rootbark as it would for Mimosa Hostilis. However, the tek that you posted might not work at all for Acacia Confusa. I have read of other people using STB teks on ACRB, but I tried relentlessly and did not have any good results. I would recommend going with an A/B tek, and Cyb's ATB Salt Tek is one of the most efficient ones I have seen so far.

I've heard of some great results using Acacia in STBs.
I'll look over my options if this doesn't go well.

Have you attempted your extraction yet? I'm curious to hear about your results.

Not yet.
I ran into some personal issues lately.
I'll post back when I do it.
