Hello all. Long time lurker but first time poster. Thanks to everyone who has given me help so far, even though you dont know who you are :P.

Ive had about 10 or so successful extractions using Nomans Tek, followed by a wash in 50ml hot water with 5g of sodium carbonate in it, with zero problems so far. However, I had a dish of powder with 500mg sitting on my hallway table tonight just making sure the last of the heptane was gone from it before we smoked it. I got a shower before my friends called, and as I left the bathroom to go get dried, I went to turn on the dehumidifier and as I lowered my hand from the plug, about 15 or 20ml of water ran down my ear, then down my neck, then down my shoulder, then down my arm and finally dripped off my elbow, straight into the dish with the dmt in it. I have no idea what happened, but it instantly went from pure white powder, to a yellow sludgy paste. I turned the dehumidifier up full blast for about 2 hours, then heated up 30ml of heptane on a hotplate and tried to redissolve it. Instead, the whole thing turned into a yellow oily goo, looks like really thin mustard than just sat under the heptane without really interacting with it too much, even when i tried to stir it. I put the dish out into the greenhouse and put a fan on it to try and quickly evap what I could so we could hopefully get a smoke tonight, but very little crystal or powder came back out of the heptane, with the majority of whats there just staying as a yellow oil, slightly thicker than cooking oil, but silghtly thinner than colmans mustard. Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
 
Thanks for the reply. Yea i knew I was going to have to re-x it, but for some reason, it wont dissolve into hot heptane again. Im thinking theres maybe water still in it and that is stopping the heptane interacting with the dmt. Gonna just have to give it a day or 2 it seems.
 
It's a bit weird, because DMT freebase is not water soluble. I wonder if anything else was in the water that fell into the tray so that it was acidic, and so it's in salt form.

You can try fully salting it (just to make sure it's a salt), dissolving in some water, basifying, and pulling again with heptane.
