A simple question about pulls

[fun_guy88]

Hello guys I had a strange question and I hope I word it right but to break down what im doing

1Lb MHRB With a StoB tek in 1 gallon jugs and 400 ml naptha per pull then 4 pulls with varying times.

I guess my question is this, when you are letting your naptha sit in the sludge is there a time limit of not enough time or too much time, I have done this tek maybe 5 times and I have a batch in the freezer and it seems like the amount is very low in comparisons.

I have since put another 400 ml of napths in the jug and let it sit in my closet for 4 days shaking them up randomly through out the days.

Do you think I might get a much larger result from this (letting it sit for days)

Is there every a point were the naptha is so to speak "completly saturated" with DMT molecules it cant pull out any more and thats why you do the 4 or 5 pulls in the first place?

just some random questions for a noob that doesnt really stray from the way he was taught


THANKS GUYS!

Longer the pulls the better. Some times some warmth is supposed to help. Imo room temp is sufficient.

Most of these teks to my mind use some excess np sol, so you will not have full saturated np sol. Evap it down.

Leaving a long time allows for all the molecules to exchange phases. Yes there is a point where np sol would be come "super saturated" genreally not achived by these methods of extraction, but on doing evap of np sol it will become s.s.

See how evaping your np sol goes with a freeze, if no good, pull again with the same np sol you used before.

If thats no good maybe bunk bark, or not basified enough solution.

i have the same doubts when pulling on my mimosa solution. I have made until now 5 extractions

1 with zippo lighter fluid (failed)
2 with hexane (and evaporated must of the solvent, left the concentrated part on the freezer)
2 whit heptane (same as hexane)

I had to warm the solution for the solvent to work better. its seems like heptane gets more "dirty" than hexane, that makes me think it extracts more dmt but i cant be sure since it can be mimosa oils or something. anyway, crystals never form on my frozen solvents. I have done some full evaps on some samples, and i get this yellow goo thing, never crystals. you have no idea how bad i want to see a crystal. any suggestions?

You need to evaporate a ton of the naphtha off when you're pulling with that much solvent.

For a pound of rootbark use 500 milliliters of naptha to extract. Then evaporate it down to 50 milliliters. Then freeze it and filter out the crystals.

I don't recommend using that volume of naphtha per pull, but if you do, you'll need to evap it down about that far.

Better to do more pulls with lower volumes, that way you don't have to evaporate much at all.
