Hot or cold Naptha?

Migrated topic.

So i dreamed that i used cold naptha as a solvent and on another occasion hot naptha.I put the naptha(terpentine,i don't know if that's also the same word in english,but that's basicly pure naptha)in a mason jar in a water bath and heated the water until it almost boiled and then let it sit for 10 minutes.

I noticed that with the cold naptha the spice was more white(thus more pure?)But with the hot naptha i pulled more spicebut a more yellowish tint.From 50 gram mimosa i pulled 600 mg spice and with the cold i pulled 400mg(2 different jars with excactly the same amount of naoh,water and mimosa.

Now my question is this:is that 200 mg only oils and other stuff?

You have quite some dreams...

What tek are you talking about?

I would suggest use cooler temperature naphtha for the first pulls and then increase the temperature after the 2nd or 3rd pull

The 200mg is likely to contain primarily DMT-Oxide. MHRB doesn't contain a lot of fats or oils, and naptha doesn't dissolve jungle spice very well. Cold naptha dissolves almost no DMT-Oxide in my experience. If you want to purify your DMT, just re-crystallize with pentane. I'd suggest you save the Oxide as well though, since it's almost as active.

That not from just one pull is it? Can i ask what amounts of water lye mhrb you used in your dream? And was it powder or shredded?

It's from one pull.I usually do three pulls.

A a guideline i use 15ml water and 1 gram lye for every gram of MHRB.But i once read somewhere here that if you are using powder,a little more water is good,why i don'know but apparently,it works.And for instance if i use 800ml water i use 50 grams MHRB and 60 grams of lye.

You're very welcome.Now i'm not good in math,but if if iextract 100 grams of mimosa and i get 1.2 gram that's a 1.2% retio right?:p

Or im getting very nice powder Or im doing it just right haha,i just write down excactly what i am doing from time to time.2 mason jars are overseeable but when your smoking herb A LOT,you just don't see the point in taking notes.:d

I always use a bit of heat in my pulls. Then once I have crystalised I re-x, and any orange gooey stuff seperates. You can then infuse this with some leaf and have a little bit extra to smoke :d The remaining naptha that isn't turned to orange goo can be poured off and evaporated and you'll end up with some lovely white 'hedgehog' like crystal clumps.

Is it ok to use naphta who just came out of the freezer after a precipitation ?

I was thinking of just make a longer soaking, maybe put the jar on a little source of heat.

hi Cercle,

naptha out the freezer will be fine but you will want to warm it up a little or at least let it get to room temperature as it wont pick up any goodies if its still freezer cold.

The warmer naphta = more yellow spice.
At least from my experiences
