Rising Star
hello. SWIM asked me to post his story and ask his questions. nothing is real.
SWIM recently did a STB extraction, and decided to also go for some of the jungle spice. the extraction was split between 7 different containers. after 3 pulls had been done with naptha, SWIM decided to pull with toluene on 2 of the containers. the toluene was allowed to evaporate normally in the sun, and yielded an impressive amount of a dark red gooey substance, just like he'd expected.
thing is, SWIM's yield of this dark red stuff was pretty big. almost too big. so he decided to rinse with naptha an additional 2 times on the other 5 containers, to make sure he'd gotten all of the white goodness out before pulling the red.
so then, after 5 naptha pulls, SWIM brings in the toluene on the remaining containers. he was getting a bit impatient at this point, and evaporated the toluene under a heat lamp instead of naturally. to his surprise and confusion, instead of the dark red goo he ended up with a very hard yellow waxy substance almost identical to crack cocaine!?
so SWIM comes and does some reading, and sees that people have pulled this yellow stuff trying to get jungle spice as well. but it sounds like most people see the red from STB and the yellow from A-B... so how did he manage to get both from the same STB rinse?
also, the yellow stuff smells just like normal white spice, but about 4 times as strongly, to the point where some people find it unpleasant. the red stuff has a completely different odour, very strong and reminiscent of a solvent, though not in any way like toluene. SWIM has hacked it to bits with a razor and let it sit out in fear that it might still have some toluene in it, but it hasn't changed form since about 12 hours after extraction.
in short, to those of you who have encountered these things, do these smells sound right or should SWIM be worried? and has anybody encountered both substances from the same batch like this?
