Greetings everyone,

As you can tell, I'm a newbie and this is my first post.

Well, I did my first DMT extraction (yay!). I think I did it properly. 50 grams MHRB, 50 grams lye mixed in with 300 mL water.

Did my first pull of the lighter fluid, and froze the contents. Removed the excess lighter fluid, and let the remains dry up.

I was quite eager to try this, and I'm a first time DMT extractor/smoker. Sorry if this post seems scattered, but I'm just coming down from my first DMT experience.

Anyways, I'm curious to know if there is any way that I can mask this mothball taste? I found that I couldn't hold the vapor in long enough when I was inhaling since this taste seemed quite strong for me.

It almost seemed like I was half way there.

So I tried again, but I mixed this with some cannabis (hoping to mask the taste), but same thing. I went a little further this time. My arms felt heavy and just couldn't smoke anymore...but this only lasted a minute.

Am I doing something wrong?

I guess there's another part of me that keeps wondering "is this what the lighter fluid tastes like?"

Its gonna ocurr many times when one thinks "has my solvent evaporated correctly or is this the taste of lighter fluid?"

All you can do is leave it infront of the fan for hours to make sure. Solvents evaporate from the dmt. Even when you make changa the Everclear evaporates completley off the leaf if dried correctly and there is no taste of alcohol. I dont see why it wouldnt be the same and easier for evaping a solvent out of crystals.

If you wanna get white crystals look up GordoTek, which is an A/B extraction. youll get cleaner stuff.

I dont think you can mask the taste, but you can try. I have had changa which was tasty.
If u put enough leafs in it like cbd cannabis and stuff, u might not feel the dmt taste until you are entering hyperspace.

Best thing u can do is take the whole dose in one enormous hit and thats it...if u cant toke so hard, just take that second hit hard and your off to the races.

Use harmalas=)

Thank you for the input! I'm so glad I posted this.

I also mentioned it in the chat room, and someone had also suggested using heptane. I'm looking forward to experimenting and seeing what works best.

In a way, I'm kind of excited to hear there are other solutions to use. It makes it seem like more of a home chemistry hobby in a way!
