How can I get pics on here from my phone. I hit box that says attach files but nothing happens, maybe I'm missing something. Any suggestions appreciated.

Never mind I can be dense sometimes. Anyway here's the fruit of my labor for my first extraction of the new year. Yield so far 4g of good white spice, with another gram recrystallizing. A couple more pulls to go. Did a defat but some oils still came across which I'm eliminating by the recrystallizing step. Thought some might like to see. Tuesday will be blast off day.

Believe it or not, 350g of highly powdered ACRB. I'm still going to do 2 more pulls just to make sure I get it all. I know though I was happy when I opened the freezer after 2 days of waiting. I still have another 2000g to go, but that's stored long term for another time.

Your yeilds are pretty nice for acrb If you end up with another 2g white spice you'll be up at 2% Have you pulled any goo or oil along with the white crystals? & yeah i always feel like a little kid on christmas when i pull a dish out of the freezer Have you thought about converting to fumarates for storage? That much spice will take quite some time to burn through & it's much more stable as a fumarate salt. Converting 1g back to freebase from fumarates when you want to smoke is easy & protects the quality nicely

Yeah there was oil and some goo.I took my 3 pulls, combined them, acidified some water to ph2 then pulled acidified water out and basified again used fresh naptha that's what came out. I always use lazymans tek, seems to work well with powdered bark. I let break down for 3 days before adding solvent. Then keep it heated to 100-110 degrees and it seems to pull more out. I have been thinking about doing that for long term storage thanks for suggesting it. Thought about snorting it after converting back to salt but still up in air on that one.

Wow. I havn't used the lazymans tek but your yeilds are close to mine from mhrb with it. I always assumed the newer teks gave better results. I may have to try it.
& I'd not reccommend snorting. I tried it with freebase, acetate tincture, & fumarate salts. Requires alot of spice ~100mg for close to breakthrough & it burns far worse than anything i've ever snorted regardless of what form the dmt is in. There is a way to make a snuff that reduces the burn alot but i gave up after the initial trials snorting were so painful.

Thanks for the heads up on salts up the nose, yeah I don't think I want to endure fire in my sinuses. Still will probably convert it though for storage purposes. What is the actual shelf life for freebase if stored properly in freezer? Normally don't get quite this much must be decent batch of acrb, normally just share. As for lazy man tek, don't think it's new, I was under the impression that stb methods were first to be used and a/b came later. I could be wrong. I found it while researching spice, it suited me because it was so easy. Since very first time extracting it's been a success, pretty hard to screw up. Only thing I do differently is a defat step which is pretty much a given with acrb.

I to have had great success with this method , i recomend when you finish with the fresh pulled nps from the mini AB try just letting the naps fully evaporate over a day or two and you get nice big chunky glass shard crystals , it's better then Christmas morning

Yes I will definitely give that a try on my next pulls, now I have plenty so ain't in no hurry to get done, see how big I can makem. I know there's more in there, I can smell it in the solvent.

Only thing I do differently is a defat step which is pretty much a given with acrb. It should last a while in the freezer but i've always avoided the freezer for fear of condensation forming inside the vials & dissolving my spice. Fumarates should store for years with no degredation even at room temperature i think. Freebase always changes color, gets sticky, etc. after so long. The lazymans tek is old. It's one of the first i think. What i meant was there are newer teks around now & i assumed they worked better than the lazy mans tek because they've been updated & tweaked for optimal results. Looks like that's not the case & lazymans tek can yeild just as high when done propperly though .

Well I know I'm not going to need to store for years, lol. Since its already in salt form in the acrb then I can just leave it like that, which I do have a nice reserve of. I would still like to make some of the fumerates just so I know I can, plus just to watch crystal grow before my eyes.
