Coshi's tek best for Acacias? crystal from Acacia's?

[Shane237]

SWIM is wondering if anyone has successfully extracted crystal from Acacia Maidenii, And also if Lex Coshi's tek would be the best for this. SWIM has been recommended use of this for Acacia and looks quite useful as it is from Australia where vm&p naptha and other products are unavailable. If Coshi himself is out there, SWIM would like to ask him first of all if distilled water is the same as demineralised water and suitable for the tek? Secondly whether it is possible to extract crystal from Acacia Maidenii, after an unsuccesful extraction using marsofold tek? Any help would be much appreciated

Demineralised water is the same as distilled water, it'll work fine you can use any tek you like, but the thing with acacia bark is that it is high in non-polars (fats, oils, etc..). The double AB tek was devised to remove the vast majority of these non-polars which is an inherant ability of swapping back and forth. Recrystallisation from the product of a tek such as Noman's (used on acacias) is also a fine way to go single AB from acacia gave: [img:70e5b8e9b9]http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/2325/img0281zq9lt9.jpg[/img:70e5b8e9b9] double AB from same acacia gave: [img:70e5b8e9b9]http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/4450/92554613br0.jpg[/img:70e5b8e9b9] maidenii's have however been notorious for their inconsistency in alkaloid content. You should look at acacia obtusifolia instead
