Jorkest's D-Limonene Bufotenine Extraction TEK

Migrated topic.
SWIM tried toasting his extract in the drying step after the fumerate to base conversion. It made his kitchen smell like bad breath and much filtering later he had a dark amber solution.

I know this is probably not a saturated solution but would it be a good idea for SWIM to add naphtha gradually to the mix if he evaps down a little before hand to change the polarity of the solvent for a little purifying?

Or would it be best to evap all the way, scrape up and then re-dissolve?

Or should SWIM proceed with the limo clean? He'd like to save that until last in the hope of only one limo wash to gain a suitable potency with a slight orangey taste and minimal orange residue.

Toasting during the basification was probably not a real great idea.
There is already one chemical reaction happening & heating something during a chem reaction usually effects the reaction. (Right?)

That sounds absolutely nothing like what I've experienced when re-toasting after the 1st D-Limo wash.:?:
When I've done this, there is not any smell, other than maybe a bit of orangey scent.
Although, I've been using the "High Purity" D-Limonene, which doesn't have as much of the orange smell anyway.

I did test some of my last extract the other night, same thing as the others, just a nice body buzz...not much by way of visuals...but a nice, warm body buzz.

I got some CEV's off of some brown muck that were pretty cool, but I only had 100mg to play with and the rest was lost to experimentation.

I'm pretty adament if you want it bad enough you can keep this stuff down as long as it's been cleaned a little.

The next batch is going onto leaf though :)

My understanding is if you toast the basified material one of the toxins should boil off so I wasn't too surprised.
 
Ok just went ahead and evapped using heat.

At one very end of the dish there's a little bit of dark amber but the rest of the material is sandy brown. Vaporized 8mg and it's defo bufotenine and it seems to be ok, it was still harsh but only caused containable diaphragm contractions. There's definately a little peripheral weirdness going on.

Haven't even done a single D-limo boil yet.

I think I'm going to do the sandy stuff and the darker stuff seperately. This is the first time I've got this stuff to sparkle at me.

Needless to say... I'm excited :)
 
Nice!

Ya know, that's another thing, I've not thought my extract was all that harsh on the lungs. I tend to take weenie hits when I'm expecting something harsh, so it may just be me...and that may also be why I've have not gotten any great effects too.
Especially when we soaked some Bufo-tone into a joint, it was just like smoking a joint, except the obviously stronger body buzz.

I tried smoking it slowly but didn't get anything beyond a tingle. I had to really punish myself to get a load in. I think with this stuff it's always going to be pretty damn hot. Even with my last extract there was zero nausea and barely any vasoconstriction, so the toxins couldn't have been all that prominant.

I now smoke it the same as my DMT on ash in a bong, but like in Ron's test tube vape I let it sit for a minute, problem is my hands aren't big enough to cover all the hole efficently. I may have to invest in some clamping equipment.


One more thing... I'm now just heating to 150 and because the limonene isn't hot enough to evap slightly on contact with the glass when pouring out, the bufo isn't sticking to it as before. The crystals are so tiny, they just float around and it's almost impossible to decant, even with my tiniest pipette.

I'm flirting with the idea of pouring the bufo/limo through a cotton filter, letting it dry and then washing the cotton with acetone to retrieve the goods.

Anyone got a better idea?

Why not add some acetone to your limonene ? Acetone will catch the bufo and is non soluble in limo, so you can separate them easily. Then evaporate your acetone...
 
actually it may not be...to test it out..just get some clean d-limo..and some acetone and see if they mix
 
yup... merged like good n's.

Gonna leave it for a bit just in case of late seperation but it doesn't look hopeful. Probably would make a funky cologne though so let's not sell it short.


Anyways 200g's of seeds, 5 litres of acetone, much mixing, drying and finger tips so burnt they've grown a crispy shell... I finally have something I wouldn't describe as brown.

Havent weighed it. It's quite fluffy so I'm guessing no more than 70mg.

No going straight to bioassay this time... must prepare carefully for this because I'm not sure if I can stomach the whole process again right now. Maybe in a month or two.

From here on it's all about keeping ears to the ground for uber potent strains.

Getting a gram from 50g's of seeds seems like a fantasy right now but some day, hopefully :)
 
HMMM!! if the acetone merged perhaps you can do something similar to MEK:heptane...except you would just do d-limonene:acetone the acetone would evaporate off..and the bufo should drop out..then you may be able to wash it with something like heptane to get any d-limo off of it..

Especially now... because it went black :(

I quit.
 
bufo extractions are such a bitch...especially when you get bunk seeds...better luck next time dude
 
Yeah the timing is lame.

Lost my job a while back, which I wasn't too bothered about but as I'm having trouble finding another it means back to my folks place for a couple of months until I find my feet... no extracting there :(
 
damn dude...that sucks...well...just remember...you wont forget how to do all this stuff..so as soon as you get a new place..you can start right back up..just make sure you come to the site and stay up to date...dont want to miss anything good
 
Oh of course.

I'll still be extracting mesc and spice on the sneak if needed and I'm sure a friend wouldn't mind inviting me round to cook... it's just this one extraction is pretty difficult to hide/transport.

All those memories of growing mushrooms on top of my cupboard when I was 17 are all flooding back to me :)
 
I'm surprised about acetone/limo... SWIM added some limo in some bufo+acetone and there was distincly two layers, but maybe it is because there was some bufo (dark amber color) in the acetone...
You may also try with ethanol.
 
Am I allowed to post a supplier in this thread? SWIM told me of one that he just received, which gave him light OEVs on smoking the seeds straight, something that's never happened with any other supplier's stuff, and he really wants me to share the supplier here. Can I?
