Is it true that people are getting higher yields salting with fumaric acid rather than citric acid using CIELO?

We have found that the last 100 to 150mg of mescaline citrate don't precipitate. This is variable, depending on water content. In contrast, fumarate will completely crash.
Almost all the uncrashed mescaline citrate remains in the EA during reclaim and will be part of the next extraction. For citric acid users, this becomes "conditioned EA".
It doesn't really matter much, unless someone extracts a low yielding cactus such as PC with fresh EA. In this situation (usually PC), citrate could yield 0% l, while fumarate could yield 0.15% (as the most extreme example). With reclaimed/conditioned EA, there would be no big difference.
Hope this makes sense.
At the end of the day, the TEK now recommends using fumaric for this and other reasons. Cheers.
