Hello Nice people of Nexus
I`ve been visiting the forums for ages but created my account recently and this is my first post.
I come here and post to seek for your knowledgeable experience and advice.
I mainly and only use Cyb's Hybrid ATB Tek with salt, I usually have good results, but I am looking for the cleanest NPS possible.
I have found a local retailer which had 2 types of NPS (I bought them both)
1 - Shellsol A / Aromatic
CAS 64742-95-6
EC 918-668-5
Link to Technical Sheet2 - Shellsol T / Not Aromatic / Low odor
CAS 64741-65-7
CE 918-167-1
Link to technical sheetWhile Shellsol T seems less pure, and aromate-less, I have read this should be a No go
Nevertheless, Shellsol A was sold to me as being the purest Naphtha I would find locally with no additives.
But the results are very disappointing, very low yeild - almost none.
Where as when I buy those dirty cheap lighter fluid from the chinese store or tobacco shop, i manage to get a lot of yield , above 2% but the yellowish color is sometimes Dark which bothers me, so I alway perform a bica wash + ReX
I only use Pirex containers, no plastic whatsoever, I also use a PH tester to ensure I do not over acidify or overbase.
Your advice will be mostly appreciated, what do you guys reckon ?
