Thanks for explaining about protonated DMT. Does the same apply when adding freebase to orange juice? What you're drinking is not DMT-citrate, but DMT H+ and citric anions?
Good to known about possible precipitating goodies in the fridge. Better to let settle at room temp then. I want to do boils and discard solids to limit veggie oil emulsions.
If anyone has veggie oil experience, please share.

Why is volatility important? This is for the acid step prior basing, not back-salting. Would you suggest using vinegar over citric acid? I forget where but read somwhere about someone mentioning a complication using vinegar followed by sunflower oil after basing. Hoping this is not a problem.Citric acid is not volatile. Acetic acid is.
Ok so Calcium Hydroxide works better than Sodium Carbonate. I never used it. It's very low soluble in water, is that a problem? Do I just add Calcium Hydroxide powder straight to the (cold) acidic bark solution? Would 50g Calcium Hydroxide for 50g bark in around 700ml total solution volume work?It will still be a very complex solution. Letting the solids settle doesn't really change the solution; what settles is the suspension phases. What's dissolved remains dissolved, although the fridge decreases solubility and can cause solvated things to fall out of solution (among which may be your goodies). Calcium hydroxide (pickling lime) is a strong, yet food grade base.

Thanks for sharing the limonene tip, but will first try pure oils as the goal is easily obtainable food products.Limonene is quite popular, but it still infuses the backsaltings with a smell / taste you want to evaporate your solution completely to get rid of. And it's pricey. Reportedly, mixing some limonene into sunflower oil helps break emulsions.
I guess I will do tests (without DMT) with several oil types to observe emulsion issues and if any soap is left post back-salt evaporation.I'd be interested to hear more about the other oils.
