I have some black stuff after evaporating the vinegar and the Acacia bark. I scraped it out the pot. I don't have alcohol, or any other solvent. I have ammonia. I'm trying to figure out how to clean it or if I even need to. Because if I don't need to I won't. I have half of a light bulb some aluminum foil and a straw lol please help me. It's been months after actually getting the stuff now I'm lost. I'm more of a visual learner but there are more articles than there are videos and so many ways to do it I'm lost. But I got down to seeing some crystal stuff when i evaporated the stuff. But it's science, so if I follow the steps I assume it should work.

All I'm asking is what do I do with this black stuff. Can I smoke it like this, how to do it with a light bulb and a straw, or how do I clean it with ammonia with no coffee filter, can I use paper towels as a filter?

Perhaps you should be choosing a path with less resistance, at this point in life.

Perhaps not having positive things to say, you shouldn't say anything at all. It's funny how the smartest person can turn into the stupidest once they open their mouth the first time.

This is why I didn't even want to make an account, you're childish and silence is golden.

I have no idea what that stuff is. If you describe your process a bit moar thoroughly we'll better be able to discern exactly what that is and how to approach it.

I was being polite, just trying to shy you away from hurting yourself. No ill will intended. Sorry if you felt bad.

So I guess I used this tek...

Not sure whether that's a good one or not it instead of using regular vinegar I used apple cider vinegar. It's all that's available. I'm in a college town smh. I got to the part of evaporation before cleaning it and I scraped whatever was in the pot and put it in aluminum foil and got stuck after reading a bunch of stuff about different ways of cleaning it so I thought I'd make an account here and personalize my own situation into a question if that makes sense...

I mean it's kind of pointless but I appreciate it. I'm in America. So this stuff is clearly hard to come by. Not sure what you were expecting me to do other than throw away a kilo of Root bark ?_?

That's not a very good tek, whatever the black stuff is looks unsalvagably burned, and if you started with a kilo of mimosa that stuff certainly isn't your full yield.

If you saved everything from the previous steps it's possible we may be able to recover your yield, it's gonna take some doing though wut with the poor tek and messy solvents.

Even with that tek I'm not sure how you ended up with black stuff unless you burnt something to a crisp on the stove.

This is a good example why we recommend starting with minimal amounts till you learn the process and sticking with tried and true teks.

Did you by chance save everything? If you could either describe or photo it we might be able to start working out a recovery method.

Alright cool man I appreciate this! So I can't use what's in the foil correct (I tried smoking it o.O) I have this and some in some baggies around the cribo

Oh yeah, that's burned beyond salvation.

Unfortunately all you can really do is (try to) clean up your pot and start a fresh extraction using a better tek.

That's not the same as in the foil. I didn't even have it on for over an hour. It was on low heat. Maybe it just looks black? I'd rather not throw it away. Is there anything I can do with it? I only took the oil out of it and used that. That, mixed with the vinegar is what's burned. Not what's in that pot. I used a different pot.

Also I don't have lye or naphtha... I don't even know what that is. I did my "shopping" based on what was in that retarded tek I used. Are these things necessary? Is there any way we could like privately talk and you can help me like step by step idk how it could possibly be worth your time but I'm pretty lost lol

maybe you didn't even have the right bark. bcz i don't think it will look like that even if it's burned, did you add lye to it?
sorry didn't see your previous post

I have acacia Confusa Root bark. I do not have lye. The specific tek didn't call for it. But looking at all these others I'm assuming it's necessary. As well as naphtha. Whatever that is

What did you base with?

Is the liquid in the pot oil?

Yeah regular vegetable oil

You used sodium carbonate as the base?

Oh yeah I cooked the baking soda @400 for 30 minutes

so you mixed bark, vinegar, soda carb, and oil and heated then poured the oil and evaped and scraped?

Mixed bark, soda carb, WATER, THEN oil. Then used beaker to get oil out after stirring it every 10 minutes for around an hour and mixed that oil from the beaker with VINEGAR WATER. To ;I'm assuming) get the dmt into the vinegar water. Got the oil bubbles out put them back in the pot redid this about two times then got the oil out once and for all then put the vinegar water with (what I assumed was) dmt into ANOTHER pot to evaporate. And that black scrape stuff is what I got in the end (the stuff in the foil).. I didn't throw the stuff in the original pot away so that's separate stuff. Some of the oil I got out the vinegar water instead of just discarding, I put it back in that original pot just cause. Sooo I'm guessing I did a lot wrong. Please do tell lol
