First Time Re-Xing!

:d So excited bout this lol.... After attempting to vape the powder from my latest evap (from Iso) and trying to vape it (burning and producing a little whisp of visible vapor) I decided it was about time to get this shit right and purify and Re-X.

Sooo heres what I did/ am doing:

I washed my evap results in purified bottled water, and all of it dissolved (maybe a error in freebasing?). After that I added enough Baking Soda (yeah yeah I know. Putting it in the oven makes it work better, but I don't have access to one rn) to saturate the solution. After NOTHING but baking soda precipitated I was thinking it didn't work. SOOO I then put Naphtha on top, more baking soda in solution, and stirred the hell outa it. After that crystal powder "Stuff" formed between the water and the Naphtha, but not much. So I added some of my original Iso mix to it and HOLY WOW COW, it was like a crystal bombardment on the solution.

At room temp the naphtha was a foggy foggy yellow color (compared to clear when I poured it out of the container) so I sucked off 20ml or so and put it in the freezer.

Later I am going to heat up the remainder to pull more from the solution.
I will be using a Slow Cooker on the low setting with my glass mason jar (iso/water on bottom, Naphtha on top) on the metal below the normal white cooking bowl (If you kno what I'm talkin about)

I will be posting pics soon! If their are any questions about my process and what-de-faq is in my Iso solution, I would be more than happy to answer.

This. Is. Going. To. Be. Awesome!:shock:

You don't really need an oven to convert baking soda (NaHCO3) into soda (Na2CO3). A clean metal pan and a cooktop or a heating plate will do just as well or even better. Put a thin layer (less than a centimeter) of baking soda on the bottom of the pan and heat it strongly. Stir while heating until the powder stops bubbling. Don't use a pan coated with a teflon no-stick layer, because you need to heat the pan strongly and the heat could damage the teflon coating.

PS: I hope you don't mind me saying that I find your reports a bit chaotic, both the reporting and also what you report. Perhaps you would get better results from your efforts if you put a little extra time in preparation and precision.

Haha Yeah you got me. I originally started out this extraction attempting to keep it all nice and neat, but I failed to keep up on it. The result tho is pretty nice (I'll talk more about it below). Next time I get a batch of Light Plant material I will take more time, measure amounts and record them, and attempt to get a cleaner result.
So yeah... I apologize for how crazy my process was.

Anyways lol on to the results.
So after learning that I (trying to be safe and I guess being allitle "Too" safe) had not got the Naphtha to a temperature to cause freeze precipitation (left in cold freezer for around 12 hours), I decided to strain the crystals that had precipitated out of the basified solution (that was only a liquid, no big solids present before basing, although I suspect micro-particles) and the result after letting dry was a tan powder that is dull in normal light, but was noticed to be tan-to-yellow crystals under a brighter light. Upon smoking, no visible vapor was noticed, but after hitting, their were slight effects (bairly did any and bairly hit it too).
Then I layed out a very small line for insulflation and noticed effects after about a minute or two (is it supposed to kick in quicker? My solution was pulled from Chali., Anadenanthera peregrina, and Syrian rue all in one big conglomeration). Effects were mental distortions, hard to walk, mild visual distortions (stuff pops out more, and moves noticably, mild color changes with some hues), pretty strong head and body sensations. Synergizes with Cannabis well, and much more visuals are noticed when used with it.
