DMT extraction without salt and vinegar.

[laks]

I saw a tutorial in which he only used NaOH zippo lighter fluid. Is the vinegar and salting needed? What difference do they make? Is it worth the hassle? Is warming the solution by a warm water bath needed? How much difference does these things make in results?

Please write out the entirety of the suggested method. This will make it a bit easier for us to comment. From what I can infer, neither the salt nor the vinegar are strictly necessary, although the latter is handy to have on standby in case of any spills.

If you were to think about it, what would you say the role of salt and vinegar might be in this particular method? Feel free to use the rest of this forum for reference, particularly the sticky threads in the DMT extraction forum and the forum search engine.

The method is
Add mimosa 100g. Add distilled water 500ml. Add naoh 100g in 200ml. Shake it. Keep for 1hr and keep shaking occasionally .Keep releasing the pressure in bottle. Add zippo 30ml and Shake it not to emulsify. Wait 15min. By dropper pour solvent into a container with water. Then transfer the solvent into a second container super dry

super dry

What exactly do you mean by this? Of course, it's essential to avoid carrying over any of the wash water, and the second dish must be absolutely dry. There's also a possible interpretation that you'd then completely evaporate the naphtha (Zippo) - freeze precipitation is far preferable. On that note, there's a distinct lack of detail in what's happening after this point.

Is freeze precipitation better or air drying? Which is faster?

Faster≠better

Freeze precipitation gives a purer product and you get to reuse your solvent. SLOW evaporation is good for growing large crystals.

I just evaporated my first ever extraction and NOTHING. The naptha just evaporated. I did 5 extractions. Where did I go wrong? The tutorial i followed was
