Hello fellow psychonauts,

I have been working with some acacia that seemed to have a high content of NMT.
In the last 2 extractions (max ion tek) I reduced the solvent volume after the mini A/B by
about 50% before freeze precip. The result was fluffy white crystals along the sides of the
beaker, and a puddle of clear goo at the bottom... a lentil sized bead of the clear goo was scraped up and vaped, resulting in a pleasant body load but no mental or visual effects, consistent with NMT.

This time I got distracted and in the last step I left the fan on so long the solvent was essentially gone when I returned. I was using a 9 by 13 glass baking dish, and what remained looked like a gooey mess. To recover I warmed about 50 ml of naphtha to about 110 degrees farenheit and gently sloshed it back and forth over the residue in the baking dish for about 15 seconds, then poured it off and freeze precip. that. What formed are nice white snow globes that air dry to nice crispy crystals. There remained an oily layer in the baking dish.

I think what is happening is that the DMT is much more soluble in warm naphtha than the NMT, so by completely evaporating the naphtha in the baking dish then gently sloshing with barely warm naphtha, dmt is redissolved preferentially.

I thought this might be useful for those who find the dry ice step inconvenient.


happy trails

Kind of a quick Re-X, just done in the dish instead of a shot glass.
Good idea. Will keep this in mind as I start doing my solvent pulls.
(First time using acrb)

You are absolutely correct about dmt being more soluble in naphtha than nmt.

i forget where i read it but i know it was in a thread here. Im almost positive its only very slightly soluble in hot naphtha.
That should mean you can continue to pull nmt after the spice is completely depleted
