okey. first of all Im a complete noob at extractions and my english is quite bad, sorry for misunderstandings at first.

My drunk colombian sloth made last night a STB extraction. he took 200 gr of MHRB thin powder and put it on 3 l of destilled water with around 200 gr of lye.(NaOH). he gave one hour of rest to the mix and then he poured about 250 ml of naphta.

>>>first doubt, my sloth is from europe and he bought a solvent named "white spirit". On the label it seems to be naphta. it smells like a mix between painting solvent and gasoline. is that right, or my sloth failed at failing?<<<<


okey, so then he gave some shakes to the "cocktel" and let it to rest until he could saw the two layers (besides the drunkness of my sloth).so he separated with a pipe the top layer and put it on another container. he redo this proccess until 1 litre of naphta was used. (150 ml resting inside the soup mix cause he finds it difficult to extract it without basified bark mix)


>>>any advice for separating layers withouth separation funnel, I have no money =(. accurate separation I mean... <<<<


so he put together all the naphta. (850 ml cause he let 150 ml more or less to rest cause separate it includes dark soup of bark) on a glass container and let it all night on the freezer. this morning my sloth didnt find nothing more than oily orange substance at the botom and maybe 5-6 small white flakes at the glass and a big big headache. really smalls flakes. when he poured all the naphta evrything vanished with the warming.


¿¿¿whats wrong????!!!-yeals my sloth at heaven-

Theoretically yes white spirit with some xylene in it would pull out jungle spice and a bit of dmt. But if its not too much xylene in it, it wont absorb much, so then going straight and buying pure xylene and making a couple of pulls would get you more stuff out. But xylene is horrible, it smells very bad, is toxic and take ages to evaporate. Not really worth it in SWIM's opinion.

As for the sloth's white spirit, gotta put it to evaporate on one of those big glass baking dishes that people use to make lasagne and stuff.. put some very thin cloth on top so dust doesnt fall on top, and use a fan blowing air on top of it. A hotplate works yes but also a lot of electricity. One can use both hotplate and fan and this will make it even faster. It will take quite some days, you have to basically forget about it for some days, then check again, and once its this oil in the end, redissolve in warm acetone and again forget about it for a while. Then yes one could use naphtha to pick up dmt and leaving 'pure' jungle spice, which supposedly is also very active on its own, even more potent than dmt.

SWIM tried jungle spice once but he didnt wash the dmt out, so it was mixed. He felt the trip to be the same, but worse/harsher taste. But cant judge from one experiment, SWIM will smoke it again someday and will see..

---¿could I use some white spirit for extracting extra spice from a soup wich doesnt gives any spice at all with naphta (exhausted after 4 pulls...)?
if the answer is yes (because ws its supposed to have some xylene), should I evaporate all the solution and then make a cleaning with acetone for reamaining xylene and then using naphtha for picking goodies? is that correct?


by the way, my white spirit doesnt evaporate at all. its awesome!!!! should I hot it with a hot-plate or something for fasting the process? for 3 days it stills at same level thought... :( how much time does it expends? inb4 it depends of weather---asks my sloth

By all means have another go with the white spirit - if you can be bothered. Seeing as your white spirit doesn't evaporate, it would be worth extracting from the white spirit into acidic water. Then add base to the acidic extract. Then extract into Ronsonol & evaporate/freeze precipitate. Use small quantities first, just in case there's nothing there!

Evaporating high boiling solvents with heat puts your spice at risk of evaporating off with the solvent. SWIM found it to be quite volatile, leaving no residue when distilled with hydrocarbon at 120degC.

Have you tried barbecue lighting fluid? Apparently that seems to work quite well but maybe it's not available where you are? It should contain no xylene because people don't want their barbecues to stink so much!
