So I didn't yield very much. But im happy that something came out of it. I used 100g of Mimosa Hostilis Root Bark, 100g of Caustic Soda and 133ml of Ronsonol Lighter Fluid.



My question is, when do I scrape this out? It still smells very much of naphtha and I dont particularly want to set myself on fire. Or maybe im being too cautious!

Do more pulls...

Ofcourse, I've already put the naphtha back into the brown mimosa mush to do another pull. When is my first pull ready to smoke? Should I scrape it now?

Hi,

How much water did you use ? 100 grams of lye => 1.5 liters of water => 100 gr mhrb => and then extract with 100ml naphta (preferably warm).

And why not freeze precipitate instead of evaporate ?

I just did pretty much the same thing as you. You can check my report here: https://www.dmt-nexus.me...aspx?g=posts&t=51180

I would add some naphta to the jar you have there, let everything dissolve and put it in the freezer. Unless ofcourse you don´t have one available.

Then forget everything i said.

Good luck.

edit:
i see now that maybe you already put it in the freezer. in that case your yield is a little low. then please elaborate on your proces so we can see where it could be improved.

Also, be sure not to scrape and smoalk before you can smell NO naptha whatsoever.

Maybe I haven't used enough water. I used about a litre of water, not 1.5. But everything else is the same.

I added 100g of lab grade sodium hydroxide (just got it online but had to go pick the bugger up from the post office and had to sign some random forms, said I was using it as a cleaning product) to 1 litre of water, outside. I let it cool down to room temperature. I then submerged the broken root bark in the base solution (100g of mimosa hostilis) and left it for 8 hours. Poured 133ml of ronsonol lighter fluid into the jar. Turned the jar on it's head continuously for 5 minutes (making sure I didn't do this too fast and create nasty emulsions). Left this for 12 hours. Syphoned off the top layer with a baster. Put this into the freezer overnight.

I reused the naphtha that I froze and put this back into the original jar for another pull. I'm increasing the waiting times this time to see if I just did it too quickly.

In regards to MAO's post: I basically did this anyway. And that nice pile on the left of my picture was loaded into my machine last night, after it stopped smelling of naphtha and smelt like that sickly sweet burning rubber DMT smell. And I can honestly say, it's definitely DMT that I extracted. Just not very much.

hello zhiqua,

that looks like a very small yield from 100g (unless there is a lot of goo that cant be seen in the picture) you should be looking at about 2g's.

I would scrape it and chop it until the smell disappears, don't smoalk any until it has no smell of solvent or you might Richard Prior yourself, and nobody wants that.

Also you don't need to leave your pulls for that long, mix a couple of times and then once your solvent has separated its good to pull.

did you powder the bark?

if you didn't use an established tek then I would advise using cyb's max ion tek, its reet good

You could do this much more often. Like every 10 minutes and then 6 times (one hour total) and then let it stand for 30 minutes before removing the naphta for freezing. This will give the crystals more opportunity to migrate to the naphta.

Second pull was much more successful. Managed to yield about .2g from the second pull. I think it is all to do with timing and how much I shake the mixture for.

Good to read you had more succes on the 2nd pull.

Practice makes perfect !
