Hello, I am in the process of getting the materials necessary for a DMT extraction and need some pointers and advice before starting to ensure I do it right, as I do not want to produce an inferior product. I do not plan and never would sell my extraction to make a profit, as I feel this is a wonderful thing that should not be charged for. I have smoked DMT only twice, both in the span of 3 hours, and it changed my life. Now I want to make my own so I can continue my experience and even turn others on to it. I have done extensive research and arrived at a tek I feel will be effective, but would like some help to ensure I do it right. Here is my tek:
I will be using 300 ml of deionized water, 6 grams of caustic soda and 30 grams of Acacia Confusa root bark. The amount of Naphtha or in this case lighter fluid should be at least 10% of the volume of the root bark, or 3 grams. I will let the Naphtha sit in the freezer an hour prior to use to reduce fumes. After the solution is made, I will heat the bottle anywhere between 40 and 55 degrees Celsius. After heated properly I will shake the bottle, opening the cap periodically to insure no pressure buildup. After shaking I will remove the cap and replace it with ceran rap and a rubber band to further insure no pressure buildup. Then I will let the solution sit until the layers have separated. I will then remove the top layer and with the turkey baste into the glass pan, which will be covered as possible to reduce evaporation while transferring it. I will replace the rap and rubber band on the bottle. I will then tip the Naphtha into one corner of the glass pan and clean any impurities with the corner of a rag. I will then place the pan in the freezer over night. The next day I will remove the pan and using the turkey baste I will remove the Naphtha and place it back into the solution. I will then reheat the solution to the desired temperature. After removing the Naphtha I will set the pan upside down to drain any left. After properly drained, the pan will be covered in free base DMT, the desired result. I will scrape this up with a one sided razor blade and place in a jar, which will be placed in the freezer until used. I will repeat the process three times. I will then place the scrapings into 20ml of heptane, and heat this to the target temperature. I will repeat the process of extracting the Heptane into the glass pan with the turkey bastes. I will then place the pan in the freezer. When removed the next day I will remove the Heptane and be left with a more pure form of free base DMT.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask, and if you have advice or see any problems with my tek I encourage you to voice them. Thank you fellow travelers.

if anyone even has complements please let me know, I can only improve through discussion!

You made the mistake of comparing volume to mass. Rootbark isn't meadured in milliliters either. If you're using 300ml of extraction medium then 10% volume would mean you use 30ml lighter fluid.

Forget the turkey bastor, most are plastic, the bulbs deteriorate into the naptha readily, you pull excess basic material, and it slops all over your work area. A glass pipette and a long-necked bottle will work far better.

Be sure to wash the non polar with distilled water to wash out basic material.

DMTEXTRACTOR: Naphtha pulls better when not chilled. That said, I can potentially see the reason for using chilled naphtha - pulling less fats - besides the odour issue you mentioned.

Transferring your naphtha pulls via a pyrex jug will help you avoid getting impurities in your crystallization pan. This would be the point for washing the non polar, as 1ce suggests.

Allowing your naphtha (as well, heptane) to cool first at room temperature, then in the refrigerator and finally in the freezer will tend to improve size of any crystals should they form.

And paragraphs help others to read your posts.
