Dipping my toes in

[Guidedspirit]

Hi everyone

So I’ve gone un noticed in here and not really posted much but I finally started with my MHRB extraction.

I’ve literally followed a video off of YouTube and is just a room temp extraction.

100g bark I’ve used but I’m seeing less a yield than I thought I’d get.

Think I’m getting about 0.86g from 100g of bark :/ I thought I might have got more but I guess I’m only just starting so room for improvement.

I tried to use a magnetic stirrer but the soup just gets too thick for the stir bar lol I pinched one of the wife’s jars that had flat bottom instead of the oval shaped flask I was using and the stirrer did do better.

Added the naphtha and I came to realise that it’s a lot lighter than the base and the bar couldn’t pull the naphtha down in to mix it all together so it’s been hand mixing for 5 mins then resting for 4 hours then repeat. Into a dish with lid and freeze for 12 hours, I did try leaving it to freeze for longer but nothing much more came out.

Done a few pulls from each run and done 3 runs in total to give me about 2.6g in total

Anyways I just thought I’d just jump in and get it all out for people to help where I may be going wrong.

Peace

Hi Guidedspirit,,

Welcome to the Nexus.

Hmm, I'm no chemistry expert but I've done a lot of STB (straight to Base) extractions with Noman's DMT for the Masses being a personal fave and I am used to seeing more in the 1.0 to 1.75 grams range yield. Noman's tek - DMT-Nexus Wiki

For sure I would not use a magnetic stir device with the naphtha mixing phase. I recommend a vessel that is sealable. Gently add the naphtha, tightly seal the vessel then gently turn the vessel end over end (NEVER shake) for a couple minutes. Use a timer - better too much mixing than not enough.

Now wait for complete separation.

Okay, key point here, do not pull yet. Nosir. In fact, now pick that vessel up and turn it gently end over end for another couple minutes, then set it down and await separation.

Then do that above TWO MORE times.

Okay, NOW is the time to extract the (hopefully) DMT rich solvent (I strongly recommend getting a set if variable size glass pippettes).

Here is a little extraction hack for when most of the solvent is pulled and there is just a thin layer left . . . . transfer the contents into something tall and thin like a glass graduated cylinder - you will increase the thickness of that last layer of solvent by decreasing its' surface area.

Okay, congratulations on your FIRST pull.

Now repeat the above procedure - add the solvent and roll the vessel, let separate, then roll and separate a total of four (4) times, then pull solvent.

Do this at least 4 times. Sometimes I do 5.

As you collect the DMT saturated solvent, seal the jar between pulls and combine all pulls into that same jar.

Now that you have done all pulls, carefully pour the contents into a pyrex dish and evaporate off about 50%.

Now carefully transfer the remaining supersaturated DMT solvent into a smaller, sealed vessel. Seal tightly and put into the freezer. Put it in the back, where the cold air comes in.

Now do NOT open that freezer. Forgo everything in there. 8 hours should be enough but I like to do 24 hours just to be sure.

What should come out is a little snow globe - you filter the contents out and the filter catches the DMT. You can also scrape DMT off the sides and bottom of the vessel.


Hope this helps and again a warm welcome to you.
