Welcome Ryinn, it's so good to have you :d  The nexus is a special community

As to your extraction method, I would suggest reading up on the A/B teks, as A/B is the full length, top to bottom extraction method and will give you the best understanding of what you are doing and what chemical reactions are taking place. STB's tend to be quick and relatively inefficient methods for extracting, if you've already taken the time to walk the spiritual path and have been approaching DMT gradually, why rush the last phase? A/B is really not that much more to understand or carry out than STB and the benefits as far as yield, final product, and personal understanding are significant.

Welcome to the nexus and enjoy your wanderings...
