My first extraction as introduction

[strooster]

Hello,

I make my first extraction now.
First extraction!

I've smoked DMT from other people but now is the time to get my own.
Get the spice and be sure I can smoalk any time I want to.
I've got some MHRB, finest nice powder, lye NaOH, HCl acid, distiled water, and jars.

I appreciate the help of people here, it was very helpful and nice.
Now I understand the basics of the extraction, and feel better about it so I've started.
No teks, no exact rules. Just making improvizing experimental AB tek.

Now I making the bath for MHRB with acidic water, heating the jar with it in the pot with water, just on lower temperature, something about 50-60C degree and turning over the jar sometimes to make it easier to get DMT from the solution.

Next step I want just to add lye dissolved in the water and turn the jar over and over.
And after that I will add n-hexane and will continue to turn over.

Then I will separate the n-hexane with a pipette.


Last thing I will do to place the plate into the freezer and wait for some DMT to smoalk.


It's nice to be a part of your community.

I would continue and describe my whole extraction experience.
If you'd like to find out the result, stay tuned

I gonna make some photos and measure the yield.

Cheers!

Yo yo yo welcome welcome!

Am not a big extraction expert, so I'll leave that part for others.

But am happy your here, nice to chat with you on welcome chat area, and am sure the dmt experience will be very nice Remember set and setting!!!

Do you have experience with other psychedelics? Do you may be like to meditate, or exercise? Have you maybe hear of Wim Hof breathing ?

Cheers!

Greetings and welcome.

I applaud your desire to perform this extraction in an autodidactic manner without using previously established teks. I great way to learn a lot that will solidify itself in your mind.

Out of curiosity though, do you have any measurements for the different ingredients necessary, ie volume of water, volume/weight of acid, weight of lye, etc?

Happy to have you.

One love

Hello and thank you justB612!

I will, set and setting is always important, in entire life too.

I have the experience with psilocybin mushrooms and LSA.

I like to meditate in the forest or near the river.
It's nice to relax and enjoy our planet's beauty.

I've heard about Wim Hof breathing but I don't do this, air is too poluted here.
It's healthier to breath slowly but not so deep

I'd like to start with the cold bathing though.

Hello Voidmatrix,

thank you, some people from here just inspired me to do this like that.
I think it is not rocket science and the most important is to follow the main steps: acid and bath, base it, add non-polar solvent, separate the solvent with DMT and freeze it, then dry it and smoalk it.

I hope, I am not wrong about it and the extraction will be successful.
The hardest thing is to find all components, in my opinion.

I have no exact measurements, just followed the advice from chat, to add about 15 ml of HCl 4% acid into water with 50g of MHRB.
Then left it for one day and heat in the water bath.
I've done it.

Next, I gonna use 50g of lye and about 750 ml of distiled water - just fill almost whole jar.
After that I gonna add 50 ml of n-hexane.

Was a problem to find a glass pipette there so I have to use plastic syringe to separate n-hexane layer. I hope, this is not dangerous, as I checked it should be okay and I won't use the syringe for a long time. So, I suppose it should be good.

Chemical Compatibility Chart - LDPE, HDPE, PP, Teflon Resistance

I found a compatibility chart and as I understood petroleum ether 40-60 (n-hexane) will not affect the plastic syringe.

 

[Voidmatrix]

Good stuff. It came to mind that you have the potential to lose too little of certain ingredients which would decrease your total yield in the end.

I'm a stickler myself, but I'm aware of many people who approach this endeavor in more of a free-form way, such as yourself, that get wonderful results.

That said, do me a favor, don't throw anything out. Just in case something comes up, or if some of us think there's a way to increase efficacy for you in your first run, or if there happens to be a reason where someone thinks you may be able to pull more DMT out. I'm assuming you'd like to extract as much as available and possible in your first run

One love

Hello,

as I promised I send photos of my first DMT extraction :d
I've not measured it yet, will do it later.

I figured out that there are some important points to understnd and the extraction should be okay then.
So, yeah. I just made sure that there is impotant to find out and understand the basics and it should go smooth.
It's not rocket science as I thought from the very beginning.

Thanks very much to all helpers!
It helped me to get the basic conception and then I've impovised, combined STB Noman's tek and make the acid bath adding of HCl acid from the very beginning.


I worry about some little traces of lye in it.
When I was separating I catched a little bit of lye layer.
Very small amout, I don't know, maybe something about 0.1 ml of brownish layer.

I'm a little bit paranoid about these traces of lye but I think either can it really harm?
This small traces amount?
To be honest, I have no great desire to do re-x and bothering with naphta, heating, etc, one more time.
I poured out the naphta and returned it to the jar to the further pull.

It was like nearly non-visible small layer of lye and I canted the glass pan where I separated the naphta and just tissued these traces with paper towel.


Otherwise, it was very clear quite yellowish naphta and I believe I tissued everything bigger.
I could use watered tissue and clean the bottom canted the pan but I didn't.
I just wiped the bottom and smeared it a little, you can see it like a place with dense crystal growind, looks like a mushroom.

Does it has really sense to re-x?

 

[fink]

Hi, welcome! I love that chaos theory drew you a mushroom with your crystals

 

[strooster]

The yield from the first pull is about 0.58 g.
Which is 1.16% of dried MHRB matter.

I think it's quite good, I am satisfied.

I gonna make as much pulls as I will can get something from it.
I will measure the yield further after the each pull.

Beautiful crystals you got there!

Generally you should absolutely avoid any soup droplets. An easy way is to collect the naphtha in a separate glass vessel, let it sit for a few minutes, then transfer into the precipitation vessel. That way, soup droplets can sink and stick to the first glass.

The good thing is that the soup is dark. So if any droplets make it into your product, you will have dark brown spots. You should re-x these. The beautiful yellowish white should be as safe to vape as it gets

Thank you HT!

Yeah, I've using the pipette for the first time and pressed the balloon too much.
Next pull I will be more skilled and careful.
Or/and I'll probably use one more jar to precipitate the lye traces.


I've decided not to re-x this pull.
Amounts of lye there was very small so there is no reason to re-x in my opinion.
I am not afraid this small amounts of lye and I've wiped the lye mostly.
So, it was only a little trace on the bottom, but this is not even 0.1 ml
I think. It was nearly unvisible.

I just separated the 2nd wash.
I separated the same hexane I got the crystals from and poured back into the jar.
So now I separated this naphta into the glass baking pan, covered it with the lid and placed into the freezer.

I'm waiting to see how big the 2nd pull will be.
The pipette works very well and clearly.
I had already learned how to separate the gasoline as clean as a tear with it.
Glass pipette is awesome.
Now let's wait for the next day.
I wonder what weight it will be.

 

[strooster]

Long story short, I smoalked it yesterday.
I am an owner of Mighty vaporizer and I've tried to smoalk raw crystals and it wasn't the best.
Maybe because of its low density maybe because of structure.
I washed my crystals with acetone and dried the Mighty liquid pad in this DMT-acteone.

Tripped at home.
But there are still no entities at home, they live in the forest. They fear and avoid urban area.

Trip was more powerful than just crystals.
Apparently, the honey that turns out to vape better than DMT crystals when it's smoked in Mighty vaporizer.
The evaporation temperature was 150-155C degrees. On the second puff I raised a little from 150C to 155C.
This time it knocked my socks off!!!

So now I know the best way to vape my DMT with Mighty.

Acetone dissolved honey! Means just disslolve DMT freebase in the acetone and then evaporate onto liquid pad. It's not rocket science.




And! Further news. I made 2nd pull and have crystals from it already.
Now I was more gently and separated clear as tear naphta with my glass pipette.
No traces of any lye.
You can see down below.

But I had one little trouble...

I have returned this naphta, used it next time and added some extra naphta into my jar.
Decided to shake... it was my mistake to shake just after heating in the water bath to 50C.
Pressure rised too much and I splashed about 100 ml of soup on my table, hands and floor.
Successfuly thanks to God Lord it wasn't splash to my face!


So it looks I will have some lost the next pull and won't have accurate information about yield - turning round VS shaking.
Anyway I can just count the percentage of my lost and subsctract the numbers.
So I will know some approximate result.

A little bit soon I will measure my crystals from the 2nd pull and let you know how much.

Then I wait for the third pull - waiting naphta/soup emulsion to separate in the jar.

 

[strooster]

2nd pull are tasty 0.3 g.
So, overall it's 1.78% yield at the moment.

I'm curious about 3rd pull result.

 

[Darth sidous]

We will watch your progress with great fortune welcome to the club my young apprentice

 

[strooster]

Thank you.

Next 3rd pull was about 0.1g.
I lost some DMT because of the splash so it could be easily about 0.2.
This pull is more yellowish, smell is different but nice.
I think 4th pull will be the last pull.

I went to the woods yesterday to smoke DMT.
I came at sunset, to my favorite place, under a tree, from which I directly feel love.
A place where I saw entities.
I sat on a stump, rested a little, thought about the good good, thanked the trees and nature.
I ate a cheese sandwich.
It was almost dark.
I donated a slice of bread and a slice of cheese to the entities, attaching them to a tree branch near the stump.
I took two puffs at 165C degrees. Kept.
The trip was similar to 3g cubes, mild visuals, sharp colors, but overall nothing special.
I didn't see any entities.
A little disappointed I thought, well, I'm in the woods, I'll do Wim Hof breath.
I breathed. I'd say it's a very cool combination of DMT + endogenous DMT from meditation.
