can i extract more?

[Skeemer]

i wish i would have asked this after my first 100g extraction. I'm doing an a/b extraction using heptane. After my 4th or 5th pull can i use xylene or d-limonene to extract more alkaloids? If so, what is the best way?


Peace

Fairly certain that you can use xylene/limonene to extract jungle spice after an infinite number of heptane pulls. I say fairly because this doesn't make sense to me being that I've seen that jungle was chromo'd to be primarily N,N-DMT. Anyhow, conventional wisdom says yes you absolutely can. Simply drain off any remaining heptane in your basified MHRB, and add in the other solvent. If it doesn't work for whatever reason, please let us know. I would advise against combining the heptane pulls with the xylene pulls, keep them separate.

Sure you can. Both will pull much more aggressively than either naptha or heptane, so there should definitely be more full range alkaloids to come once you're done with either. Try isolated steps from Jorkest's limonene and FASA tek for obtaining the full range fumarate (and then converting back to freebase, if desired) - much more pleasant than working with xylene, which stinks like you can't imagine.

thank you very much. I will definantly read these teks and see what will work best for me, and update in afew days

I always finish up my extractions with a few houndred ml´s of xylene that i let soak for a few days, always give me at least 10% more than the heptane could pull.

id stay with dlimo, heptane is pretty gross but its not as straight awful as xylene

plus dlimo is recyclable

 

[Skeemer]

Can i still freeze precipitate if i use xylene or dlimo?

 

[ragabr]

No, you'll have to salt them out. The same forces that allow them to pull out so many more alkaloids also keep the alkaloids bound even at low temperatures.

ok. thank you
