If you're having trouble getting crystals from acrb, use this tek (thick-light)

Looks pretty good from here.
If you wanted you could re-x it to be sure as like #389 describes.

Thank you for your response! I was surprised when I saw the formation.. my naptha layer is usually clear/slightly cloudy. But this formation started to randomly change shapes.. I felt like it was trying to communicate with me, hahaha.

One of SWIM's freeze precip'ed finished product>>

And here's another, slightly purer result (don't ask how lol as swim cannot recall!)

Nice pics!

Just a guess, but maybe its alks/fats/lipids that fell out of a saturated solution?? What else could it be i guess. Naptha only picks up nonpolars.

 

[MagicGing]

Aquarius, how do you suggest freeze preciping? And did it stick to glass?

I guess the main question is how did you seperate precipitate from nps??

Swim thinks it could lie in your shuffle..
Too much shaking seems to bring out more unwanted excesses.
From swims personal experience anyway.
SWIM got almost brown clay from one excessive shuffle.
Re-xing gave some nice dry powder in the end though.

I dont think lye is soluble in naptha

I think that for sure was the problem. I shook like a mad man, this was the only time I felt sore after an extraction. I'll have to settle down on the shaking next time...:thumb_up:

OK,swim does add one step prior to freeze precip.

Once the naptha is all extracted, is left to sit for an hour or so.. making judgements on time as it goes..

Swim finds unwanted particles will fall to the bottom in this stage.
Then pouring the sol into another clean airtight vessel making sure the residue is left behind.Swim may lose a little active sol as a result, but you gotta break a few eggs when your baking a cake such as this

Then in the freezer with the new batch for 24 hours or until sol is clear.
Freezer is fan forced as well.

After this-
Take out, and run cold H20 over top of jar, then dried and opened.
H20 helps break the seal easier, just be sure to dry immediately after.
Sol is poured away and lid put back on quickly,before any condensation hits inside.
Jar upside down for about an hour, then remove lid and place on side to dry for another 2 hours.

Swim then gets spoon and scrapes out xtals and places into 30-50ml shotglass and paper towel cover applied..or you can just put it under an kitchen exhaust fan.

True, if swim had a separatory funnel then it would be better.
Somehow manage to get a couple of bits in there from swims experience.

Hmm do you possibly accidently agitate the precip in the cold naptha, like while picking it up or sumthn half way through to check on progress?

My friend let his crystals sit in the freeze for like 2 days and they didnt stick to the glass. Maybe it was from picking it up and looking at it???

Swim checks once or twice, when taking out running coldwater over glass to clarify the inspection,cant help it! Have not noticed any adverse effects from that yet.

 

[MagicGing]

Hmm could it possibly be because my friend defatted the solution? They didnt stick at all, then melted after he poured most of the naptha off and left it out to evap at room temp. I guess the room temp naptha dissolved the crystals again? Or they werent formed completley?

 

[Aquarius]

It could be the fat/resins that provide the glue as to stick the particles onto.
I think you are on to something with this one.

For now, it is good night to all, take care till next time.

I freeze precipitated my second naphtha ACRB solution and decanted the naphtha into another jar, and i saw white formations on the bottom of my container. I scraped it up with a razorblade, and I got this stuff. What am I supposed to do with this?

Also, I've been noticing these liquid looking bubbles that form in my re-x naphtha solution, is this normal? What are they?

 

[MagicGing]

Most people that have that goo that ive came across say its fairly, if not very, potent.

 

[k3nnyw]

Is there a way I can precipitate the DMT out of the product? I assume that the blobs of oil on the bottom of the container are also wet goo? I want to find a way to store this stuff because finals are coming up lol.

 

[MagicGing]

Well if you want to remove the oils/ what not, you could try backsalting

smoke/vape that goo! you can just weigh the razor, then scrape up some and weigh the razor with the goo to get an idea of how much you are dealing with. in my experience it can vary from 10%-70% dmt. so you should start mellow like 20 mg. I loaded 50 mg goo after having a 10% dmt goo experience and this ratio was more like 70%dmt. well i really was hit hard, i really over did it. but it was still fun.
