Your tek is actually just a more complicated variant of A/B.

With lower yields and more effort.

You salt and base and salt and base when you actually just need to base.

Also you will loose some dmt because the plant cells will keep hold of it. Thats why lye is used. Its able to rip apart cell walls and leech out the plant liquid.

Yes you can replace that by boiling but that reduces DMT yields and increases contamination.

Also you usually want to either salt or base before pulling with any solvent (water,limonene) because you will loose the fraction that is in salt/base form.

In its optimal form your tek would be the following.

Freeze the wet bark. Thaw it and repeat.

Blend/shred it. Add fumaric acid. Boil it or heat it.

Filter the water. Let it settle and decant.

Basify and let it cool.

Now you have the DMT as a film ontop of the water.

Then you can freeze it off or similar for a nearly pure product.

But still this "Tek" is just waaay to complicated for what it is.

Compare it to solvent STB

Throw shredded bark into lye water.

Add solvent. Pull solvent.

Freeze. Decant and reuse solvent.

If you dont want to use lye use caustic lime. Toss some snail or sea shells into a fire and let them turn to CaO then add that to water and get your low ph.

Or use wood ashes. Anything goes.

Lye is just the best way and there is no reason to use something differnt exept if you dont want to.

Also STB isnt about "pure" DMT. The "pureness" is only dependant on the amount of heat involved in the tek and the length of soak. And usually even a goop contains 90% if you did it right.

You might have had luck with your tek. But thats only because you use massive amounts of bark where loss is actually not important. But anyone with no access to these amounts of bark will rather use the tek with better yields and defat steps to reduce mess.
