I'm also confused about the above (which I've changed to numbers, from you * markings).
1) With this tek you end up with DMT-fumarate, right? So...
2) Wouldn't you remove "jungle spice" using naphtha BEFORE basifying it, rather than after? And so...
3) This was is on NEW naphtha, right? Not the naphtha used to wash in step two, but the naphtha to which the subsequently basified DMT was transferred to, correct?
OK, I'll just write out an explanation of what I did, rather than add another post where only a part of it is mentioned.
1* I extracted 80g of pre-powdered MHRB using the D-Limo/FASW tek on the first page of this thread. Doing three 75ml D-Limo pulls & adding them together & filtered them a few times.
Then did three 25ml FASWater pulls to get the "
Jungle "DMT-Fumarate out of the D-Limo & filtered it a few times.
Allowed that to evaporate & scraped up the
1.855g of "Jungle Spice"-Fumarate.
2* Now I basified it using 2x as much Sodium Carbonate as DMT-Fumarate & just enough water to get it all totally wet & mixed together well, then allowed it to dry
completely.
3* I broke this into powder & dissolved it in around 30ml of warm,
Fresh Naptha, after mixing well for about 5 minutes I allowed it to completely settle for like an hour & decanted the Naptha. Then I repeated this with 10ml more, 2 more times. I combined all 50ml of Naptha, filtered it a few times & did a fast Sodium Carbonate wash using just the tiniest pinch of SC in about 15ml of distilled water the first time & just 15ml of D-water 2 more times.
Made sure there was no water left in it!!!
Then I sealed the beaker it was in & let it set at room temp for an hour, then into the fridge for 12 hours, then into the freezer for 4 days.
(note:
It only needs to go into the freezer for like 24 hours or so, but I took it out the next time I had a little while to deal with the rest of the process)
I got the crystals out of the solvent by filtering it through a small Buchner funnel. And let it all dry completely.
This resulted in
1.25g of
mostly pure, white freebase DMT.
There was a layer of spice on the bottom of the beaker that was off white-to-yellow.
Now I divided this into two equal piles & did the re-crystallization's using Bestine.
4* (
wash & freeze precipitation) I used about 20ml of Bestine warmed in a heat bath to about 110F degrees, to dissolve around .625mg of the DMT, added a drop at a time, until it was all dissolved completely. I let it sit for a minute and poured it off into another beaker, leaving a yellow, oily film on the bottom. I dropped in another 10ml of warm Bestine, swirled it around a bit & poured that into the second beaker with the rest, 2 times.
I now covered the beaker tightly with plastic wrap & used rubber bands to hold it secure. (
2 layers of plastic wrap & rubber bands, the second one sealing & securing around the first)
This was left out to cool to room temp for a hour or so & then put into the fridge over night. In the morning I moved it into the freezer for 24 hours.
Then I decanted the Bestine off of the small, round crystals & let them dry completely before scraping them out & onto a dish. That is what is in the pictures at the top of page 7.
.585mg of very pure, super clear & white N,N-DMT crystals!!
(
the Bestine was returned to the can with the rest, to be used again next time)
5* (room temp crystallization) I took the other .625mg of the DMT from the Naptha precip & washed it with Bestine in the same exact way. Only difference was I used slightly less Bestine, only ended up with 20ml of it total.
After sealing the beaker, I put it in the back of a closet, to cool to room temp & where it could remain,
totaly undissturbed to slowly grow crystals for the past 2 days.
When it's finished growing, I plan to decant off the Bestine I let em dry.
That's it.
Jokerst, your
almost right about the room temp recrystallization, you don't have to evap the solvent, but you can in the end, just to be sure you got everything.
(
of course "everything", means any impurities that would have been left suspended in the solvent are now part of your yield again)
Basically the idea is when the solvent is warm, it will hold more DMT.
So you want to use
just enough solvent to dissolve the spice, let the impurities coagulate on the bottom & pour off the solvent into a clean container fairly quickly, then seal it while it's all still warm. It needs to be very super-saturated!!
As it cools, some of the DMT will begin to crash out & form small crystals.
(also, a small vacuum will form this way, as any oxygen sealed in there, will contract as it cools too!! Sucking the plastic seal down into the beaker a bit.)
Then as a few days pass, the rest of the DMT will begin to form together with those crystals & grow very large, very pure crystal formations that look like beautiful flowers!! Lotus flowers to be exact!!
(you can also add an already made crystal to the jar before sealing, to "seed" the solvent & the DMT in the solvent will form onto the "seed crystal" & make it bigger & bigger!!)
The faster you precipitate them (
freeze precip...), the smaller the crystals will be.
If you do it very slowly, undissturbed at room temp, they grow bigger over time.
You can even slow down the cooling even more after sealing the beaker, by then placing it, 1/2 submerged in a small heat bath at like 100-120F degrees or so & allow it to sit there, until the heat bath has completely cooled down to room temp first, before removing the beaker & placing somewhere it can be totally undisturbed for a few days. This will cause even larger, fuller crystal formations!!
Since they come out totally clear, I'm willing to believe they are also more than likely 100% pure DMT!!
After they stop growing, usually 3-4 days,
a week to be safe, you can let the solvent evaporate away, or stick the jar in the freezer to get the rest of the crystals out of the solvent for sure. But that may not even be necessary if left to grow long enough.
Then decant off the excess solvent & let dry.
Naptha can also be used to do the same thing, but bestine is a better solvent for this.
OK that's enough typing for now...:lol:
Did I answer those questions SF?
