Blow drying freeze precip?

[Operculum]

hey guys i got a question about evaping...so i had a big ole tray of some MHRB that i froze and sucked all the naptha off, then to speed things up i put a blow dryer over the reamining stuff to evap it faster, good or bad idea?

Seems like there is definately less after blow drying it...maybe i should have just let it sit for a few days and slowly evap?

If the hair dyer gets too hot the Magic will vanish, I'd just get a fan and be patient.

aright, thanks for the info. I prolly destroyed a gram or two, but...thats life lessons for ya

I aim the exhaust of an (air) dehumidifier directly into the container with my DMT; this removes the remaining solvent before any problems from condensation can occur.

If your blow drier actually evaporated a gram or two of DMT, it would have really stunk up the place. You would not be asking here if it maybe happened, you would know it. Hair driers shouldn't be sufficiently hot to efficiently evaporate DMT, or they would burn people's ears off.

What could have been happening is either there was a lot of water ice together with the DMT in your tray, or the heat from the drier caused the DMT crystals to melt and then resolidify as an amorphous thin glassy layer on the bottom of the tray. This glassy form has a higher density than crystal snow, thus appearing to be less. If the latter is the case, just scrape it from the tray and recrystallize to get back fluffy crystals that are easier to weigh and dispense.

i think thats what happened, as i scrapped it all up and weighed out over 2 grams. And i used 200 g of MHRB. All's good. Thanks guys, almost had a heart attack.
