So,im thinking to atempt my first extraction later this year using Marsofold's tek,but i have some issues!

1-I can't find any naphta in my area,can someone suggest another substance that i can use instead of naphta?
2-It's ok if i cook the MHRB in a regular pot?Or i really need to buy a crockpot?

Thank you!

Check out the FAQ and the Wiki. Under the banner at the top of the page, to the left. More info in there than you can shake a stick at, if you are the kind of person who shakes sticks at things.
Welcome to The Nexus. Good luck in your explorations.

You aren't bothering anyone. We're just trying to get Nexus members to be self sufficient from the start. There is a HUGE amount of info here, and I know that the volume of info alone can be intimidating to some people. Sometimes coming up with the proper search terms can seem like an insurmountable task.
There are alternatives to naptha. Do you mind if I ask what part of the world you live in? If we know that someone may be able to help.
Make sure you look through all of the teks in the wiki. You may find one that appeals to you that doesn't require naptha or freeze precipitation. Don't go for a tek just because it looks easy (says the guy who is a devotee of the Q21Q21 tek 2 Smile ). You can learn a lot from trial and error. If you make a mistake during an extraction process, you can learn from it. One thing I will stress: If you make a mistake, DO NOT throw your source material away. It may be salvageable.

Can you guys get hexane? Or Lighter fluid? Those will work. It will likely be worth your time to evap some of your NPS of choice to see what/how many impurities are in the solvent.

Here ya go.... https://www.dmt-nexus.me...aspx?g=posts&t=14772
Sometimes it's good for a change. Other times it isn't.

Yeah. If you can get lighter fluid for a zippo style lighter, it is probably naptha. It might be mixed with something else though so you need to do an evaporation test to make sure no traces are left behind. According to wikipedia, in Romania, naptha is called either Nafta, Naphta or Benzina nafta. I don't know if that is helpful at all. Here in the U.S. we have something called Bestine, which is sold as a rubber cement remover. It contains mostly heptane. It doesn't pull as well as naptha, but works, although it is best used for recrystallization. I don't know if you can find it in Romania though.

Yes i can get lighter fluid here,thank you,but wikipedia is wrong because Benzina nafta means gasoline!But i think lighter fluid will do the job,i will buy more brands and i will do evaporation tests and then i will use the cleanest of them all!Thank you again for your support,you are a bunch of great people!Very happy

Hi sabex , sorry I didn't mean to come across like the asshole I am !! ( Not )lol Confused

I've used zippo lighter fluid before , it may pick up a little more yellow then others but it's works a treat ,

Just before you do just check that it evaporates clean with no oily film left , do this either on glass or mirror is best ! Thumbs up
