Oh wow, completely missed this for a long time. Thanks for your work, logos!

He said the yield is even better than with limo!
Curious, higher yielding or better quality? SWIM would imagine that application of heat would improve the yield of limo as well, but it's possible that because limo picks up wider range of substsnces, it leaves less room for the goodies.
Although the viscosity is a bit hard to work with as stated. He blended the olive oil up with the basified dough just as in this tek, then gave heat baths in just below boiling water. He said that bunch of the plant matter got stuck in the oil and would not separate easily and was very hard to filter so he made some sodium carbonate basified water and poured it in with the oil. He says the plant matter dropped into the water about half way in a couple of days but took about a week for the rest.
SWIM's used only a very minimal amount of cheese cloth in his THP (rather than a piece of flour sack or cotton balls) with great success--real speedy drainage.
Then from there he proceeded to mix with FASW and froze it, then rinsed the remaining oil off of the chunk of ice. Then he evaporated the fumerate water and proceeded with sodium carb and 99.99% iso to freebase.
SWIM's attempted the rinse of the ice chunk himself with IPA, and it works, though they don't really mix. He's thinking a dash of limonene would work wonders though. Also, SWIM's had the oil/limo mix gel up after an extensive freeze on one occasion--easy enough to remove, though.
He says the results are a kind of yellowish pink that smells pretty bad of DMT. When he smoked it he said it was visual but not as visual as some but awesome head trip. He thinks this is because the bark he used was about a year old and was stored in the open air for quite a while. He figured he would use old bark to try for the first time with olive oil because he hadn't heard of anybody trying it yet. Plus this is all he had at the time.
SWIM used fairly fresh bark and had some fairly intense break throughs, so their shouldn't be any issue with the potency as far as he can tell.
He says that next time instead putting the oil through the blender with the dough, he might just try to mix the oil in and stir while heating so all the plant bits don't get stuck in it, but who knows, the yield may not be as good.
SWIM used pre-powdered for his experiment and he just mixed in a jar with a chopstick.
He is excited to try with olive oil with fresh bark. He says the yeild definitely seems better than limo but that limo seems to pick up more of jungle.
SWIM concurs on this, and he'd like to experiment by exhausting the bark with vegi-oil, then to follow it up with limonene and see what the difference is. He's hoping to pull his doses for vaping with the vegi-oil, then pull his sublingual pharma (mucosahuasca, but he'll likely be renaming it, Juremala) doses with limonene.
Currently, SWIM's planning a wiki article comprising a compendium of extraction technique focused mostly (possibly completely) on nontoxic methods. It'll probably be entitled,
amor_fati's Compendium on the Extraction of Jurema.
