Hi guys/girls!

I started a topic where i described how i extracted 0.6 gr. of DMT out of 100 gr. of pre-powdered Mimosa Hostilis in 3 pulls, (didn't count the residue in the jars with it) i was very happy with he result (note that i'm pretty new to the extraction thing).

But after a few comments there and some resulting research i noticed that this is actually a very low yield, certainly nothing to be proud of, or get excited about, and that i can do a lot better, 1 gr. DMT being the minimum to get out of 100 gr. Mimosa.

I hope someone will be so kind now to point me in the direction of a tek or certain method to make me get more DMT out of that rootbark, it's a bit frustrating.

Thanks in advance.

1+% is very possible even with a simple STB, but instead of 3 you make warm 6 bit smaller pulls, and stiring/letting separate several times before actually pippeting the pull out..

Freeze precipitate everything, then after collecting the dmt evaporate the naphtha to get whatever is left in it, and use (non-denatured) alcohol or acetone to redissolve any left-over crystals that couldnt be scrapped in all the jars, and evap them all together in one dish, and then scrape, so you get most out of everything.

Also obviously, having good bark is a must

Thanks for the tips.

I use the rootbark from Adenium, people are all positive about it, so i guess it got something to do with me instead of the rootbark.

More tips are very welcome!

Also, how long do i need to keep the collection jars in the fridge, and is there a reason for using different collection jars, instead of collecting it all in one jar?

put freezer (not fridge ) in coldest setting and leave for at least 24 hours just to make sure.

Reason for not putting all in same jar is if you spill it or whatever goes wrong, then you lose everything, so better to divide at least in 2.. Also because first pulls are generally better quality/whiter than later pulls which are usually yellower, so if you mix you will have all a more average quality. but appart from this there is no major problem if you really want to put it all together

Ok, thanks again.

Sorry i meant freezer ofcoarse, my freezer goes to -32 it freezes ice hard so that seems to be ok, yesterday i extracted 3 more pulls from my mixing jar, it was just standing there for a week and a half, and this morning i noticed that i got more crystals out of it, so maybe i should just do more extractions to increase the yield, i'll harvest tomorrow, but when i looked it seemed that a lot of those crystals are sticking to the bottom again, can this be avoided somehow?

but what is the problem of sticking to the bottom? just pour the naphtha off after taking jar from freezer, put the lid tightly back in the jar and put it upside down in the freezer, so remaining naphtha will drop to the bottom (lid).. Then after some hours take again out of freezer, open lid letting the remaining naphtha drop off and scrape the crystals that are on the bottom and sides, letting them on a dish or filter or something to fully dry

this always yeilds alot

I also thoroughly recommend switching to a stronger solvent, once the mix has been exhausted with naphtha. I've doubled my yields this way... granted a lot of what comes out of the strong solvent pulls in N-Oxide, but that can be converted back to DMT or if you're like me, convert it to DMT N-Oxide fumerate and just use it for pharma sessions.

Wich solvent do you recommend?
I use a mixture between Hexane and Heptane.

Wow Flux!
Way to go man, such beauty!

I'm also interested in the tek used in the link. All it says is to re-x in heptane, what is the initial solvent?

I think Xylene, but i'm not gonna work with Xylene, it's highly carcinogenic.

yep xylene.

its used early on in the tek - fumarates are precipped out of it, many processes are done between that time and the time it gets smoked.

No xylene remains, what isnt carcinogenic these days ? hehe - use jorkests tek otherwize.
