Afew extractions questions please...

[aaron12321]

I have some pretty good equipment (separatory funnel etc)and I understand the noman tek pretty well , so do you think il get at least enough for afew doses from 50gram of bark.
Also I cant get naphtha anywhere i live in ireland , is it called anything else and are their any alternatives?

^^If your bark is not bunk, then you could get upto 500mg-ish, or perhaps a little less.

Naptha is basically lighter fluid as used for filling a zippo; this is probably the easiest (but perhaps not the cheapest) way of getting naptha.Just make sure you ensure that on evaporating it leaves no residue.Swan Extra-refined lighter fluid, as found in England, works well.

A word of warning... naphtha floats. So unless you're using DCM (which I don't recommend unless you're doing the extraction in a fume hood) or some other heavier-than-water solvent, the only thing you'll get from using a sep funnel with noman's tek is a jammed stopcock.

If you do a/b you can use your sep funnel with no problems.
