I came up with the term, Dry-Technique (or Drytek), to describe the new extraction techniques born out of the development of the FASA method. Though this is technically STB, as the product is being extracted straight from the plant as freebase after basify the material, the techniques are distinct from traditional STB methods, such as Noman's, in that they incorporate no separatory techniques and are not extracted out of an aqueous solution. The reason for the particular name is that dryness is a key factor in these techniques. This is also relevant in consideration of the methods of converting DMT-fumarate into freebase.
When I began writing the wiki handbook, I felt compelled to distinguish them from one another. The decision was fairly hasty for the sake of expediency, but it remained as functionally adequate term. I mentioned it on a previous thread but didn't receive any feedback. I've noticed that a tendency to refer to the newer related techniques as STB has developed, so I've decided to call this into question.
Is 'STB' an adequate description of these techniques? Are the new techniques to be considered as an evolution of and replacement for traditional STB, or is traditional STB to remain as a viable technique? Is 'Drytek' a more adequate description of these techniques than 'STB'? Do we need to come up with another name?
I have to say that though I opt for 'Drytek' in order to avoid confusion, I am open to suggestions, as the wiki must reflect a common sentiment and use common terminology.
Thoughts?
