First extraction

[Blazed101]

Hello this is my first extraction. I was going to freeze it, do I still do evaporation after freezing the Naptha?

my best guess is ....no save naptha to use for next or future pulls , at least that's what more exspiranced people have written many times , but if i'm wrong they will pipe up ,

If you mean do you evaporate after you freeze precipitate, then the answer is only if you have some DMT still floating in the solvent. If you mean after you've poured the solvent off, then no, save it like @bezevo suggested.

And just an informational note, your solvent likely won't freeze.

One love

I stick the jar of Naptha in the freezer, then after 6-7 hours pour off the Naptha leaving crystals, then the crystals dissolve back into Naptha, my question is how to go about preventing this from happening?

Is the DMT sticking to the jar?

Think about what you're manipulating - the temperature. When naphtha gets cold, DMT's solubility drops, precipitating crystals. When it warms back up, the solubility increases, dissolving crystals. If you have very small dust sized crystals, it will take very little time for them to dissolve. Maybe try freezing for 24 hours or making more concentrated solutions, so the crystals are larger and buy you more time. Then when you pour off the naphtha, quickly return the dish to the freezer, upside down, to drip the residual naphtha away from the crystals. Take it out ten minutes later and put it in front of a fan straight away to hastily evaporate any solvent residue that didn't drip away in the freezer. If the crystals get warm while still wet with naphtha, they will re-dissolve. If you live in a cold area, it's the perfect opportunity to put the dish outside after pouring off the solvent, so it stays cold AND evaporates the residue at the same time.

Thank you for your explanation. I need to concentrate it more and possibly freeze a little longer. I’m having dust like stuff (not much at all)and goo.
