hi im new to extracting dmt and im using joshisom's tek and i got good results the first few times then one of my friends told me to use more vinegar and it doesnt seem to doo as good is this because the ph is too high ? does the ph really matter that much ?
 
Correct pH is what does half of your work for you, so upto a point it really matters.
Vinegar makes the pH low, you need it low to get the dmt from the bark into your water as a salt phase.

pH will only go as low as 1 but the more vinegar you use, the stronger the concentrate at pH 1. A concentrate acid would take more effort to raise the pH up to 12 at base phase.

It's like a balancing act on a seesaw, if it takes 20kg to push one end down there's no real need to put 50kg on it, same with too much acid. Just use enough to push it down. I think most people lower it to about pH 2 or 3.

teks are written by people whom know what they're doing, I would ignore friends when following teks tbh and measure stuff pH included. good luck and welcome to nexus.
