Pretty much every cleanup step that is known will cause a loss in yield. Recrystallization reduces yield, washing reduces yield, double A/B extractions reduce yield, etc. This is true for nearly all compounds. There's little you can do to avoid that.
You may remember me as 69Ron. I was suspended years ago for selling bunk products under false pretenses. I try to sneak back from time to time under different names, but unfortunately, the moderators of the DMT-Nexus are infinitely smarter than I am.
If you see me at the waterpark, please say hello. I'll be the delusional 50 something in the American flag Speedo, oiling up his monster guns while responding to imaginary requests for selfies from invisible teenage girls.
