Loveall said:I'm going to work on this more. Reason is because the dmt citrate honey obtained in post #7 when lime was used to base should be soluble in PG/VG and vapable. Solvent loss was a problem, but going to lower water concentration has solved that issue (85% recovery in first pull and 95 to 100% recovery in subsequent pulls).
Here is what I'm gonna try:
- 1:1.5:0.25 finely powdered MHRB:water:lime
- EA pulls (~5 x 1.5)
- Settle combined coffe filtered pulls in fridge until clear and decant
- Salt with citric acid (~0.05) and allow oil to settle
- Decant and rinse with fesh EA
- Air dry
- Dissolve dmt citrate oil candidate in ~2 to 3 parts PG/VG
This may be a quick way to make e-juice for vaping. For me, making a quality e-juive is cumbersome because the DMT needs to be very clean to avoid clogged atomizer coils. Extra purification steps are needed compared to direct heat vaporizing methods (at least for me).
Here is the dmt citrate oil candidate settling. Minimal work so far, but should be very pure dmt citrate and soluble/miscible with PG/VG. This could be a quick and direct way to a clean vapable dmt salt in e-juice.
The days of longer A/B extractions, conversions, and purifying FB may be over for me. We shall see...
