Edit : This topic is not live anymore, please go to STB Mescaline Extraction TEK
Well, someone might be interested in avoiding emulsions in STB mescaline extractions. I found a way and I feel it might be of use for someone else. It is nothing new, everything can be found here or there, but here are concentrated important facts and confirmation it works when done all together. I hate any fear and fear of emulsions is something I really liked to avoid. It allows shaking without mercy and without any doubts. There is no need for any heating regarding emulsions in initial extraction.
It works for me with powderized peruvian torch dried chips from reputable Peru source. The chips are just green tissue. I didn't try it with anything else, so please bear that in mind. If you try with anything else, feel free to inform others about results in this thread.
So, for STB follow these recommendations :
1. For initial cell breakdown - Water - use 1:7 ratio (weight - cactus/water). KOH - use 1:1,5 ratio (weight - cactus/KOH)
2. Mix properly (I am using 1kW mixer) and let sit for 3-5 days (22C) until watery. Heating helps to speed up cell breakdown, but I am not using it.
3. When watery, add another water with 1:1,5 ratio (weight - cactus/water)
4. Add NaCl with 1:2,61 ratio (weight - cactus/NaCl). Mix properly before adding np
5. Then add toluene. I am using 2ml for 1g of cactus, but it might be less if you can remove all np easily
Then mix as you wish. I am using 1 min violent shaking with subsequent total layers separation. 3 rounds for first pull, 6 for second pull and 10 for third pull. First pull provides about 68%, second pull 22% and third one 10% of goods. First separations take longer, last are much faster. Sometimes first full separation takes few hours. But the result is - always zero emulsion layer!
