I was thinking for the straight to base extraction if it would be better to combine each wash of naptha into one container, let evaporate, then redissolve in hot naptha to the maximum concentration then cool and recrystallize. Also, the left over naptha from the crystallizing step could be reused in extraction from the alkaline water since the naptha would still contain dmt, or would that just accumulate impurities?

From what ive read people are saying it is very similar if not better than mimosa, i know its def more potent. Ive seen people saying it is less oily than the mimosa and ive read that it produces nice crystals with a STB extraction, the only problem they had was keeping the crystals from melting once pulled from the freezer, which was reportedly solved by first evaporating the naptha then redissolving in a minimal amount of naptha and recrystallizing. Of course i cant say for sure if these reports are true, guess im just gona try it since i have nothing to lose, ill post the results.

Acacia is reportedly full of fat, so an STB might not be your best bet.
An A/B with lots of defats or salting the alks out of the NP with acid will get you around the plant gunk.
Look to Coschi's acacia tek or FASA.

Halfway through an A/B here (lower stem bark) and it actually seems a lot easier to work with than MHRB, no defat needed as far as I can tell.

I was quite worried about this! I have seen several reports of this happening but it didn’t happen with the (only) freeze precipation I have done so far. I just pour the naphtha out, invert the container and leave until room temp then fan dry and scrape.

Ya from everything ive read i dont think the defat is necessary. I will def let everyone know how it goes, i got my chems today, im gona go collect more roots tommorrow and try the extraction with fresh (not dried) roots, im thinking they should be a bit more potent and perhaps more soluble when fresh. Im so excited i cant even fall asleep tonight!

So maybe a bit of a backtrack here, guess I spoke too soon!

There is a fair amount of sticky stuff at the bottom of my recent collection jars, so I think that I will be redissolving a fair amount of product in naphtha and performing a second A/B to see whether it can be removed that way. We will see.

Unfortunately still rather busy so fitting in the extraction between bouts of work
