ok swim has an idea to share.. alchol/water precipitation..swim has the issue of not pure solvent,so he was wondering to dissolve spice into alchol,and than put into it a conentrated solution of na2co3(carbonate) maybe at 1:6 ratio,the higher the better i think..and than wash the freebase precipitate with water. what do you think? or would be better dissolve it into vinegar,than basify with na2co3 and filter the freebase precipitated?

What is SWIY really trying to achieve here? He tries to purify spice, yeah, but from what? This is what you ought to be asking before thinking of an approach. btw, dissolving the spice in vinegar and then trying to precipitate it out with sodium carbonate is not going to work. Why, it is unclear, it just doesn't work. And adding alcohol in concentrated solution of sodium carbonate will cause precipitation of a fair amount of sodium carbonate and will also cause a partial separation of the water:alcohol to two phases. So basically you have no goal (purify/clean spice form what?) plus what you propose seems problematic. Need to calculate between salts and freebases? Click here!

I've never heard of DMT freebase being successfully precipitated from a polar solution.

swim used a stain remover to get the spice out..it's 70-80%,10-12% ciclopentane esane,7-10%dichloropropane,3-5% n-esane and 5% pentane swim precipitaded it by cold and than give it a wash with carbonate solution, it's passed 2 hours an it still smells of it,is it normal? maybe i could try to do a paste with carbonate,let it dry,crush it and than wash with etanol? dunno purity of this solvent,but it could have some high boiling point sols into  this could be just my paranoia spice is off-white,pale pale yellow,nice crystals,they were tiny globes i could buy citric acid and try salify citrate and than freebase it, but i have ascorbic acid,maybe i can do ascorbate and than preipitate it out? noone tried isn't?

Sweet! I've gotta get around more. I always forget about the fumerate procedures.

ok..so this would be the route for further extraction swim thinks..he could get heptane dichloropropane mix,the first bp.98 the second 96°c so he could boil some solven off crystallize by freezing and recryst with etanol and bingo..no danger of impurities swim thinks and hope Tz'is aná
