Over the last 3 days I have tried the CO2 method twice. It really is a breeze in comparison to the aspirin tek. In fact I had to improvise a CO2 generator from a 500ml flask, a bathtub stopper, some vinyl tubing and a bit of silicone sealant. The classic vinegar/baking soda volcano mix was used, and even though I thought about putting some desiccant in the tubing, I decided to be as ghetto as possible and not dry the gas.

It rapidly precipitated the carbamic acid, leaving somewhat cloudy naphtha. When the naphtha was freeze precipitated, it resulted in mimosa-like crystals which dried to a very white powder completely lacking any stickiness. Bioassay is yet to happen but it will happen soon.

The whole point of this post being in this thread is to demonstrate that my feedstock has a very high NMT very low DMT profile. The two times trying aspirin and two times trying CO2 gas resulted in the same sadly low yield of DMT, and with both processes I was able to observe the high amount of NMT traveling to xylene or precipitating, and the low amount of DMT crystallizing as the end product.

Also, with using bestine, I don't really measure stuff during general extractions, but I know that there was more than enough bestine used to dissolve 500mg DMT, when 30mg precipitated. I think my issue is actually my source material. Also I noticed that HCl was needed to back-extract the xylene on my second attempt. Vinegar was not doing it. That NMT-acetamide must have some kind of attraction to DMT.

[QUOTE="lysurgeon, post: 3601401, member: 3336"] Over the last 3 days I have tried the CO2 method twice. It really is a breeze in comparison to the aspirin tek. In fact I had to improvise a CO2 generator from a 500ml flask, a bathtub stopper, some vinyl tubing and a bit of silicone sealant.
