I feel the warmth here. yeah, cactus is a strict teacher, its not a buddy like shrums. Its a hard teacher that teaches its lesson wether you are willing to accept it or not.

Today I added the zippo lighter fluid to my lye/mimosa goo. I couldnt wait for the hexane to arrive so I just use lighter fluid.

I have pulled like 20 times from yesterday to today and the emulsion didnt formed. I could see tiny white thingies floating in the lighter fluid this morning, I hope is spice. Its my first extraction also, and im doing it with my heart, not strictly measuring things but rather following my "calculating instinct", and so far is looking good. I read from aleyster crowleys book of thot that nature's processes need time to happen, like the birth of a seed or the metamorfosis of a caterpillar. so I let my goo rest for 2 weeks before adding any solvent, and i will let the solvent work for some days too. hahaha, but thats just me.

I'll be sure to post a picture for you guys of the final product.
