Hey guys, I'm still relatively new to DMT even though I have a handful of experiences over the last year or so. Started off really strong, and then I took a long break. And now I'm back...I'm learning a lot about it still. And it's such an intriguing molecule, and it has so much benefit to it. I don't mind the intensity, because I am naturally an intense guy. And welcome experiences. And its benefits. I'm relieved that it's overall easy enough to harvest on your own as that saves you a lot of money... and it gives you a lot of stock for the future. Plus it gives you quality control. So you know where it's coming from.

My biggest question (is because I'm not familiar with extraction methods at all) I only use STB... Is there an extraction technique that is known as the best or the most efficient? I wouldn't ask, because STB is straightforward, but I'm not going to lie and say that I enjoy the process. The siphoning off the top with the Turkey baster is a little tedious for me. I would love something a little more streamlined. That would make the extraction process easier.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully, I'm not breaking any rules with this post. If so I apologize in advance, just let me know.
 
This is a question that can be approached from any number of angles. In essence, the answer is what best fits the intersection of your skill and knowledge levels, and the materials to which you have reasonably easy access. Other factors include access to equipment, space availability, and the amount of time you're willing to invest both in the process itself and in adjusting any of the other aforementioned circumstances.

Thread 'EXTRACTION GUIDE: Principles of Alkaloid Extraction (in relation to N,N-Dimethyltryptamine)'

This is a comprehensive guide on extracting DMT. This is not really a tek, it's more of a methodology. This guide goes through basic chemistry and how it relates to DMT extractions with respect to people with zero chemistry knowledge. It is pretty thorough, going through basic calculations and principles involved in the whole process.

"This guide is NOT designed for novices who take shortcuts and are impatient to try the spice. This is written with the intention that every reader will thoroughly read and reread in order to fully understand the theory of acid-base extractions."...

Thread 'The Chemistry of Extraction'

Hello Nexians, I wanted to share some basic knowledge of chemistry that comes in handy when performing an extraction. There are several topics in chemistry that one should have a firm grasp on in order to understand exactly what is happening throughout the extraction process. These include:

1) Solubility

2) Partition Coefficients

3) Ionic Strength

4) Acid/Base Chemistry

Solubility:

Solubility is the extent to which a solute(anything being dissolved) can dissolve in a particular volume of solvent(the liquid holding the solutes). In a chemistry classroom what they will tell you...

Thread 'Rating the extraction teks'

Dear members,

Last week someone asked me a question that gave me a hard time to answer, I had to ask quite a few questions myself before I could answer it and then it still left me with a feeling that I did not really know how to answer this correctly.

The question this person asked was : What is the best extraction tek?


To me there are quite a few good extraction teks that each have their own different way of doing things, some are easy to perform with a slightly lower end result while others take more time but have excellent yields, etc.

Since people have different priorities I...

Thread 'The best of A/B Teks (combo)'

After reading through all AB teks available here, I decided to combine what I think are the best aspects of each. I wrote this for my own reference. Let me know if there is anything which can be improved.


1 Plant preperation:

- Obtain 50g mhrb (Mimosa Hostilis root bark)
- Cut root bark small and powder it to dust with a blender
- The plant material is prepared

2 Acidification:

Option A
- Have 200 ml of distilled water ready
- Add acid of your choice until pH 2-4 is reached
- Add the mhrb to the solution
- Shake hard to get it all mixed up
- Let it sit and soak for 3 days...

Thread 'Quick question - best / easiest tek?'

Okay so I've search the relevant areas of the forum for a statement that says which extraction tek would be best (easiest, least likely to encounter problems) for a first timer. From what I can tell its the STB. But I just want to make sure so I can study the tek a bit before the day comes.

Thankyou, sorry for bringing up a question that no doubt has been asked before.

TEK Thread 'Best Tek for 250g Of Mimosa Hostilis Bark?'

I'm sort of confused, wondering what the best tek would be for this, I did a standard STB tek on 50g and got like literally nothing for my yeild and i still dont know why. I want to try to do a 250g extraction aiming to get 2g minimum but hopefully more than that with the 2% yeild. Anyways what tek should I do to best maximize my yeild for this?

Thread 'Best Extractions Experiences/Opinions'

I was wondering what extrations people have tried and what opinions they have about them. What is the extraction you have found most rewarding and why? Quality of product, easy of use, time involved etc. SWIM is attempting the QT's extraction for students and it seems to be going alright, although it will be sometime before the yield. So what's your opinion?

Thread 'Several Small Extractions are Better than One Big One & Ratios'

As for now I'm restricted to posting in the Nursery. Hopefully this post will generate good information exchange. Also if there is a better place for this post, I'm asking The Traveler or any other site mods, to place in the best section possible.

The following is some literature I came across in the PDF file "Organic Chemistry Laboratory Survival Manual-Zubrick-2nd Ed" Yes this book/PDF is from the late 80's but the information still holds true for today. Thought I'd share it. Yes we know to pull until you can't pull anymore, but from what I'm gathering, the more small pulls you do...

Thread 'What is the best DMT extraction tek in your opinion?'

SWIM tried a technique listed on shroomery.org (the one that skipped defatting) and had little success with smoking the end product. It was very harsh on the lungs and he thinks he used far to much lye. He is fond of the technique though for it's simplicity but next time he wants to make sure he gets a yield of highly active spice. What tek, in your opinion, is the best for extraction? Keep in mind, what is desired is the perfect balance of ease and effeciency. He would just like to hear your thoughts.

Hi this is my first post since my introduction so here it goes. My buddy has aquired some powdered root bark in the past and did much research before extraction attempts and still no success. He isolated the first few problems but on the final try he got a few white flakes on a plate from 28g of mhrb using the lazymans tek. he scraped those up and they weren't very flakey the were kiinda buttery almost. He put some on foil and lit a lightron under it and said he felt very mild effects and absolutely no visuals. He said he just felt zoney. He used nomans before with no sucess but he figured...

Thread 'Sonicator MHRB Extraction'

Hello everyone. I wanted to share with you all my experience using a sonicator to extract DMT from MHRB. It was very simple. A lot easier than any typical A/B or STB extraction. It took 4.5 hours from start to completely cleaned up and solvent in the freezer.

Supplies:
- 100g MHRB
- Distilled water
- 5% distilled vinegar
- Sodium hydroxide
- Naptha
- Vacuum filtration apparatus (buchner funnel, hand pump, flask w/side arm)
- 375 watt sonicator with 3/4" horn
- Various sized beakers
- Separatory funnel
- Stand with circular attachment and clamp attachment

Several members here at the nexus have been asking me for sometime now to give this method of extraction a write up. It has been criticized by some, but for a fact - this method of dmt extraction is exceedingly easy and yes, it works.

Keep in mind this is not the advanced clandestine chemists ideal method of extracting dmt, however, this method will prove invaluable to the person who finds him/herself in a position of not being able to procure solvents or chemicals that the ideal methods would call for. Also it will no doubt be a valuable tool to those who want a completely food safe...

Thread 'MHRB Soxhlet Extraction'

Hey peoples, I thought that I should get the ball rolling. There are a few of us nexians who are interested in soxhlet extraction, I will gather Ideas here for MHRB extraction and then hopefully condense this thread into a workable Tek.
So far this is my hypothesis:

*Condenser
*Water pump
*Water bucket
*Tubing

Thread 'Smaller vs. larger extractions'

So I had great success with my first extraction, 100g root bark providing about a gram of clean white crystals with Noman's tek. Not sure on the exact yield because I started using the first crystals before my final pull was done but it was decent enough. I have the rest of a kilo left and I'm wondering what to do with it. What seems to be the best thing to do is just stick with what works, and do several 100g extractions until I'm out of bark. This should theoretically have the same result every time as long as I perform it the same way.

A larger (400-500+ grams bark) extraction is...

Thread 'BLAB - The Big Leisurely A/B'

So this is the next advancement in D-Limonene extraction teks. It was thought of for the Nexus by usweyoume. This tek is designed to use LITTLE space with lots of bark for HIGH yields. Nothing really more to say except this Tek was written while on the final material, pharma style:D ~~~ONTO THE TEK~~~

Materials

-Gallon Milk Jug(HDPE #2 plastic)
-Two 800ml(as close as you can) glass jar
-One 100ml(also as close as you can get) glass jar
-250g Sodium Hydroxide
-About 5g of Fumaric Acid(probably way more than enough but whatever)
-1 liter of 5% vinegar
-450g(one pound) of...
And so on…
 
From what i'm hearing it's less about the best tek and maybe about the best process for pulling the naptha/nps?

If so, i would highly recommend getting a pipette pump and glass pipettes, between 10 and 50ml in volume. Make sure to match the pump to the pipette size.
It seems like it would be the same as turkey baster but it is a phenomenal upgrade.

Also from a tek perspective, if you wanna keep the simplicity of stb but take it to a slightly elevated level, go with the max ion tek. It's basically "STB premium". That's a technical term, right @Transform ?
