TL,DR: Hi, you're all awesome. After pulling 1.4g from 125g mhrb using Max Ion, pulled an additional 500mg full spectrum spice using only 30 mL room temperature xylene in room temperature basic solution. A fan blowing over the oil while scraping hardens it to wax real fast.
Hey Nexus, this will be my first post here though I've been a member for a couple years. First, thank you all for this community. The knowledge I've gained here has guided me to levels of self actualization I didn't know possible, in directions I'd never imagined. And they just kind of rubs off on the people closest to me as well, ya know? This is worthwhile.
I just wanted to share some results of my latest extraction, I'm sure there's nothing new here, but more data is good data, and I feel like sharing for a change
This was my first time working with mhra, though I've successfully extracted 500g of acacia and the same of Syrian rue with a variety of techniques. I used Cyb's Salt Tek on a batch of acacia with good results (>1%) but this was the first following Max Ion. Yield was about 1.4g from 125g powdered bark, initial 5 pills combined, a pull at 24 hours and one at 72. 72 hour pull yielded about 50mg, pretty well spent for now I figure, maybe let it sit awhile and try again. In the meantime, let's go to the hardware store and buy everything for my first crack at FASA! Including a shiny jug of xylene.
I'd always been leary of using xylene as a solvent, it just seemed more of hassle than sticking with naptha from what I'd read. You have to use more of it, can't freeze precip, takes forever to evap and is super slow and noxious to do, and after all that you end up with a hard to work with goop is the picture I had in my mind. In the plus side, full spectrum product. I decided to pick some up after learning you can precipitate dmt from it using FASA without the need to evaporate it. I also decided to throw a bit into my basic solution to see what else I could pick up.
Not expecting to extract to much, and not being familiar with the evaporation time, I chose to use just 30 mL. I didn't bother to even heat it, just popped room temp solvent in room temp solution and gave it the ol 5 shakes. What I was able to pull of the top was put under a fan in a 9 x 13 pyrex baking dish. The smell wasn't bad at all to me, more tolerable than naptha fumes for sure. My dad does a lot of oil painting, reminded me of childhood. With that surface area the solvent was gone in just a couple hours, and I was left with my expected goo. I wasnt expecting it to cover the whole dish, though. With a utility blade I begin to push a goop sheet into a goop pile, which turns out to be easier than I thought. As soon as I agitate the oil it begins to harden to wax. I still had the fan blowing on high across the dish at this point, and that seems to have greatly aided the drying process. A couple minutes later I have a nice pile of wax shaving, a minute after that I have a nice 500mg pile of full spectrum spice.
That's all, nothing special, but hopefully this helps someone like I've been helped by so many posts on here
