first naphtha pull clear? is this bad?

[Sean959]

So today im doing my first extraction using Cybs' Hybrid ATB Salt Tek. Everything seemed like its been going right my only question is my first pull was pretty clear. does this sound wrong? Should I continue pulling then freeze percip and see what I have tomorrow? Does anyone ever get clear pulls?

My theory is that the goodies are miniscule in the naphtha. I've seen others' pulls being cloudy or yellow/golden.

That being said, try more agitations and some heat. You should be able to pull SOMETHING out of your material.

By the way, how much material are you using?

im using 55g MHRB it may be the slightest cloudy but nothing that noticeable.. I can maybe post a couple pics if you think that it would be helpful

SpaceSeek your a life saver! Added way more heat, and stirred more vigorously. Second pull was nice and yellow !

Okay so last night I was up doing pulls till 12:45 am... Then I evaped the naphtha down to a sizeable amount for my dish. Put clear wrap over the top and stuck it in the freezer.. this morning im already seeing a very nice amount of crystals forming on my dish! In another 4-5 hours ill be taking it out of the freezer then ill try to get back to you guys with a yield. Extra special thanks to Cyb for his tek and SpaceSeek for helping me with my issue

Good work! So exciting, isn't it?

Sounds great! Your off to a wonderful start, I find pulls should be clear then go cloudy once put in the freezer for a few minutes. Just be sure to thoroughly dry your crystals off before you try any and you'll be fine, and be quick about it they will warm up quite fast. Happy travels.

Pure DMT is white/transparent, so if naphtha has any other color, it has no relation with DMT, it means other plant impurities have been picked up by naphtha.

It could happen that someone's naphtha is more yellow because it picked up other oils but that it also has a lot of DMT, giving the false impression yellow = DMT. But as mentioned, that's a misunderstanding.

If yield is low, just check FAQ for tips

Sounds like you got sorted but yeah, clear NPS is not an indicator of spicy goodness, I only have exp with ACRB, and my pulls are usually clear, then go cloudy as the NPS cools...

Every time I've extracted from MHRB my pulls have been clear. Then they cloud up after being placed in the freezer. With ACRB my pulls are always yellow and sometimes a little cloudy.
