Making evaping easier

[Psychedelia]

Question:

Let's say I have a glass brownie dish with saturated naphtha. I was thinking, if I were to pour water into the dish, it would sink below the naphtha, and the spice in solution would drop down into the water layer as the naphtha evapped. Would this make it easier to collect, seeing as the water won't redissolve the spice like naphtha?

It may work, but my guess is the dmt would stay in the naptha because its soluble in it.

To ensure no DMT dissolves in the water you should basify it. Even so, how would this make anything easier?

This makes zero sense to my mind. Even if it were to work as you have presented it, you'd still have to collect the crystals from the water and nps evaporates considerably quicker than water. Additionally, you could just freeze precipitate instead of evapping. Evapping really isn't a lengthy process, no need to look for shortcuts like this that will inevitably make things messy and add to your extraction time.

Psychedelia,
one can understand your frustration with evaping. As the last post stated, non polar solvents (naphtha, xylene, toluene, etc.) evap way faster than water. SWIM usually freeze-precipitates DMT-saturated naphtha, gently decants the jar until she has a small volume of naphtha containing a visible slush in it, then sets that aside to evap. Crystals and gooier, oilier, waxier stuff is the result - great smoke!
