Extraction help ? First pull in crystalization jar - then what?

[WanderingTraveler]

Joshisom's acacia tek states that after first pull, to pour jar of saturated Naptha into funnel with a coffee filter and leave to dry,
It then says put the Naptha back into the jar and put it in the freezer for 24 hours.
Put the Naptha back into the gallon jar? Or the crystalization jar?
Just seems a little unclear to me -
Thanks

Crystallization jar, save the coffee filter to recover lost product.

Care to elaborate?
So the gallon jug with the remaining Naptha and mixture are no longer needed?
That doesn't make sense to me...
What makes sense it to put the Naptha back into the mixture and put it in the freezer

How does one re - use the same Naptha if you freeze precip It?

After filtering, put the Naptha into your recrystallization jar, NOT your gallon mix jug (I find glass baking dishes to work better than jars) and put that into the freezer. Save your coffee filter! There will be goodies on it.

After a while the DMT crystal will crash out of your solvent (freeze precipitate).
After this is done, and you collect the crystals.. Then you reuse THAT Naptha.. If you don't want to wait, you can use fresh Naptha for every pull.

Was this your first pull?
You want to keep your gallon jug mix until you can not pull/extract any more DMT from it.

It might be helpful to read through some other teks, just to grasp a better understanding of how the process works.
Though they are all a bit different, the basic science is the same.

Did that help?

You're filtering out floaters and plant matter so the precip jar produces clean crystals.
The 'main' jar then has more naptha added to it or you can wait 24 hrs to collect crystals and separate naptha to reuse.

Depending on bark amount you will probably have to do at least 4 pulls.

I'm unfamiliar with that tek but that's the only way I could see it working there is no point in freezing the basified solution.

Makes a lot more sense now,

A 1000ml glass measuring jar is being used for crystalization

After the freeze what's the best way to get the Naptha back into the jug?
This was the first pull, it's been sitting nearly 12 hours,

Seems like Its about to be filtered and freezed

 

[Mz.Gypzy]

A funnel is useful. Or just pour it. Hard to say when everyone works with different types of glasswear etc.
Be creative if you have to.

 

[WanderingTraveler]

Hmm

Sure is an interesting process

 

[WanderingTraveler]

Thank you all for your time

Is nice being able to get real help and when it's needed

Much appreciated

One last question though, when putting the Naptha back into the jug should I use a coffee filter?

 

[DreaMTripper]

No just pour it in, why would you want to filter?

 

[Mz.Gypzy]

If your reusing that same solvent there is no need to filter it before putting it back into the jar, unless you think there is some floating crystals in there that you missed.
Even if there was floaters that you missed, and they get put back into your gallon jug mix. They will be extracted again with your next pulls.

There was little to nothing in the jar after 12 hours
Gel like
Solvent filtered and placed back into jar
Hopefully the freeze will be as beautiful as anticipated

Bring the naphtha back to room-temperature, concentrate it by evaporating for several hours until the volume is significantly reduced, then try freeze-precipitating again.
