I posted another thread questioning how well zippo would work ...
The following may sound a little out of whack .
SWIM doesn't have have the privacy or time he used to.

SWIM says:

100g MHRB powder/100g lye/1000ml water were mixed together.
20 minutes later (yes, it was rushed ..) 50ml zippo lighter fluid was added.
BTW, the soup is still well & alive for another time.

It was shaken 3 times over 20 more minutes.

SWIM pulled the naptha off the top & placed it in his own mason jar.
During a 70 minute walk home in 15F weather, crystals precipitated in the jar.

After sitting inside at ~75F, the crystals have not dissolved back into the zippo.
The zippo is still extremely white/cloudy.

Sadly, he doesn't have a freezer to place it in and leaving it outside to chill is not an
option either.

He can either evaporate it or, seal the jar and hold onto it for a while.

He REALLY wants to know if anyone has used zippo before and if anyone thinks it's
safe to evaporate. It appears to be evaporating cleanly but, SWIM is paranoid since he's
never used anything but VM&P naptha.

Any input would be GREATLY appreciated.

personally i would be skeptical about using zippo, you could check it out here which is something i found in the forum. has a list of solvents and what they contain. you could compare that with whatever youre comfortable with and see what kind of contaminates it has

It contains:

2-methylheptane
n-octane
ethylcyclohexane

Too bad SWIM knows not of what they are.

Just an update.

This solution has been sitting in SWIM's room with the lid cracked open leaving about a 1 inch opening ..
There's various crystals about 1-3 cubic MM in size sitting in the bottom of the jar.
He doesn't think more than about 20% of the fluid has evaporated quite yet.

Just for the sake of growing big ole crystals, this solution may not be freeze-precipitated for at least a week.
By that time, SWIM may have some naptha.

Assuming Zippo is indeed "dirty" even though this batch seems otherwise, there's a couple questions..
1) Can the larger crystals trap anything other than DMT in themselves? They're nearly crystal clear BTW.
2) If NOT, would a quick splash of naptha over them be enough to clean them off?

Update:

Jar was placed in freezer for one hour (yep, that's all.)
Since there was already crystals in the jar, SWIM figured one hour should make SOME difference.

He got impatient and pulled it out.. Damn curiousity.

The crystals weighed in at 591mg.
This was the first pull from right around 100g of mimosa and the zippo surely contains more.

I'm posting this because I remember seeing people (including myself) questioning not only how clean zippo is but also how well it works.
In this case it works just as pure naptha always has for SWIM.

As for how clean the DMT is well, it looks like glass
I'm sure if there is impurities one might not be able to see them though.
I do know there's no way SWIM is throwing that stuff out either way.

SWIM is like crazy excited.
This is the first time he's had DMT for almost half a year now.
OOOOHHH BOY!
