Hello Nexians!! After a couple years since my last go, its high time.
Ive only ever have had personal experience with STB with mhrb. my cat is currently setting up a 100g acrb tek using EarthWalker's tek as a guideline.
Being that Im unfamiliar with the process, and after thoroughly researching EW's tek and its steps, Im curious as to why a defat and backsalting step is necessary. Couldnt Kula(kitty) just put her initial pulls into the freezer for further re-x? Apparently during this step some say that one could decant saturated solvent from the oily/fatty layer at the bottom, and just changafy it?
(source)mycotopia thread; I had great results with it and then the mhrb depression came and I decided to try the same tek with ACRB The end product was a clear yellow oil which wouldnt re crystallize but was very active, basically dmt/nmt, and a bit of oils and fats from the plant matter. 20 grams of this oil was the yield from a kilogram of bark and it was used to fortify 20 grams of passionflora leaves to make for a nice and potent fortified leave The second attempt, I tweaked the tek a bit to get the beloved crystals instead of oil The only thing I changed was in the freeze precipitation step, were instead of just putting the jar in freezer and taking it out a few days laters heres what I did:
Put the jar in the freezer, watch it every now and then, from 1-4hrs a thin yellowish film precipitates to the bottom of the jar I suspect this film is the fats/oil/nmt so what I do now is pour the solvent into another clean jar Now you have a jar with dmt saturated solvent that is free from the stuff that will dissolve your crystals to an oil at room temp know just take this jar of clean saturated solvent and put it back in the freezer for a few days and now only dmt crystals will precipitate, just decant away the solvent, dry crystals and there you have it white crystals I like this purification step over the other ways to do it like defating becouse you dont have to use extra solvent and also when defating you cant reuse the solvent used to take the fats out so its less ecofriendly I guess Shoot away any question you have and I be glad to help")
this exerpt is desribing the Fluffy white funfest tek (seems to be a "Safer" tek with fewer caustic chems) (link; Q21Q21's Vinegar/Lime A/B Extraction Tek - DMT-Nexus Wiki )
In essence, I want to know if its truly necessary to do a clean up phase with EW's tek on 100g acrb, or if its just for ppl who desire crystals for shock value. i dont mind some tannins and extraneous alkaloids in there sometimes.
I should mention that kula intends on using Bestine Hexane for her first 1-2 pulls, then switching to something like Ronsonol's naptha. Will this have any effect on the quality of the initial pulls? Im hoping that beginning with Heptane/hexane (Bestine), it will pull less NMT and fatty oils, and a cleaner product, then switch solvents for subsequent pulls.
any thoughts?
Much Love, Bless!!
