hello this is going to be about my third extraction and i was hoping for a few pointers.

cliffs
i have about 60 grams of MHRB
using lextek
60g of MHRB is 3% of the materials used in the lextek in the nexus (2kg)

Lextek - DMT-Nexus Wiki

wiki.dmt-nexus.me wiki.dmt-nexus.me

a few questions:
when i'm performing the acid cook, what is a good amount of water and vinegar to use?
is this the best tek for the amount of MHRB i am using?

thanks for all your help!

You can just scale the amounts down. I personally use a variation on the Marsofold Tek, and use 3 x cooks of 1.5L water / generous dash of vinegar per 100g bark. Seems like it would work out less for Lextek (I haven't done the maths). I would do 3 cooks of .75L water plus vinegar if I was doing your extraction. If you want to stick to the tek though, just scale down the amounts to find out what you need.

I've never done Lextek so I couldn't answer that one I'm afraid.

thanks for the response!

i did the math and scaled down it is roughly

60g mhrb
7.5 g lye
30ml vinegar
60ml naphtha
360 ml distilled water

from dmtnexus wiki lextek
2 kilograms of DMT containing plant material (Acacia Obtusifolia bark will be used here)
250 grams of Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda / Lye) – Bunnings / Safeway
1 Litre of white vinegar (dilute Acetic Acid) – Safeway
2 Litres of Shellite (non-polar solvent) – Bunnings
12 Litres of distilled water (polar solvent) – Bunnings

if someone could double check that would be great. or maybe suggest another tek i should be using?
thanks for all your help

OK I've got one - how can you see where the solvent layer ends, and the acid solution layer, or, more importantly, the drain cleaner layer begins?
Click to expand...

The basic aqueous layer and the non polar layer are generally not the same colour (unless you meet the brown naphtha issue), however if you are working with smaller extractions and the non polar layer is small it can be hard to see where they meet each other.

If you move the liquid to a thinner vessel the layers will be taller and you will be able to differentiate them easier.

This is all dependent on you using a vessel made of transparent material, if you are looking from above you will have a hard time seeing the difference no matter what you do.

It's a shame you can't find good naphtha down there, SWIM just had a really successful extraction on Acacia confusa up here in canada. If you have access to heptane, that's a viable alternative. Xylene would also work if it's available. Keep in mind, freeze precipitation does not does not work with the previous two solvents. Also, they smell awful and are a real pain to deal with imo. I've also hear good things about d-limonene although I don't know much about it.

From Phillips, the company that manufactures HDPE plastic

In addition to many individual chemicals (mentioned below), Phillips lists two major classes of chemicals that are not compatible with HDPE: aromatic hydrocarbons, and halogenated hydrocarbons. The basic aromatic hydrocarbon is benzene (a major component of gasoline); others are toluene (also called methylbenzene), and the three xylenes (o-, m-and p-xylene). Others include naphthalene (moth balls), and pdichlorobenzene (also moth balls). These aromatic hydrocarbons "permeate excessively and cause package deformation," says Phillips.

Hi has anyone used the BLAB tek? What are the benefits of going through with fumarate pulls and then converting the fumarates into freebase as opposed to acetate pulls and then to freebase?

Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Having extracted from mimosa using a similar tek to nomans I have come across a problem I have never experienced before.

After I removed my jar from the freezer there were lots of nice crystals at the bottom however after pouring out the naptha and waiting for the residue to evaporate the crystal appear to have melted into a water like liquid. Usually when ever I have done this before the crystals just dry however this has thrown me off as its the same Tek I have used loads of times and never had an issue.

Anyone have any idea what has happened

• Is it warmer than usual in the environment you were working in?
• Did you ensure there was no visible solvent left in the container before evapping residual solvent?

I have done other psychs and i've been ready for it, just couldn't get ahold of it:cry: Im currently broke due to me spending my money for my experience so I would like to ask you guys, what's the best way to smoke DMT so I dont waste it?

I heard one of my friends doing a sandwich method? He placed, I believe parsley? on top of a screen in his pipe, then loaded the dmt, then another layer of whatever he used. Should I use this method? My friend did breakthru with this:P
