Heres some useful tips
.Don't cut corners.
.Don't evaporate the Shellite/naphtha with a fan. Use the Freeze method (you will know what this is when you look up extraction teks). When the time comes to pour off the shellite, you pour off, recover the bowl with plastic wrap, then leave upside down to get to room temp. Do this fast or the shellite heats up, and your spice will turn to goo.
.Don't do sloppy pulls. You don't want Lye getting in your spice crystals do you?
.Study research Study Research, repeat for at least a month to 12-24 months.
.Brands to use: Lye-Mechanix caustic soda (in woolies or coles, where the draino is sold). Naphtha, but in this case shellite - Diggers Shellite (Bunnings, in the paint section I found it). For making changa (
Look into changa), use Diggers Acetone (Big W, found in the section with car care (car stuffs?)).
.Be safe! Use gloves and goggles at least when doing an extraction. Lye also gives off nasty fumes, try to be mindful of this. Will say again, ALWAYS HAVING YOUR GOOGLES AND GLOVES ON WHEN DOING AN EXTRACTION! I did not have my gloves on because I wanted to transfer the lye/bark mix BACK to another vace, my gloves was inside (I did not want to waste time). The bowl was crap as pouring off stuff, and the mix dribbled on my hands! Lucky for me, it was just the Shellite.
They are just some basic tips. If you suck up all the information you can, you will do a successful extraction 1st go. If you seemed like you studied, and did your research, I would give you some information to get a good amount of bark. 36g you can try, it won't hurt.
Basic info for this. 36g of bark, 36g of Lye, around 360ml-400ml of water. Doing the STB well and you should pull a small amount of white fluffy crystals. Depending on the % of DMT in the bark you might get 100mg. Or if the yield is REALLY good (2%, from good vendors), you might get 300-500mg.
Last of all, make sure you get a scale to read at least 0.01 (10mg and up?). Don't be some some people, they ask for ways to measure a dose without a scale. You cannot! Simple. Every pull the crystals will be different densities. But if you don't mind guessing doses, that's fine. Did not stop me and Dan from trying our spice.
