I am excited, I have had a few trips now and I have been happy with every one of them, although I do not believe i have had a full breakthrough yet. While I am still hoping for one of them in the future, my other biggest excitement is extracting myself.
I do not have MHRB, but i would like to try tek 2 from this link for ACRB.
I hope to not come out with to much NMT(wouldnt want to miss out on the beautifull chrystals) and end up with to much gell although I have used it before and it still worked. A little more spatious reaction though. All normal from my research.
It is not really a new idea, but it is my first and I am incredibly jittered for the whole procces and just as much, the result.
i will tell everybody if it works and how well. I have enough ACRB to repeat the experiment if I am not happy with the first and of coarse there are correction projects I will be able to practice if the extractions dont go right the first time.
😁
 
Well the first project from q21q21 tek.
In the first stage with the vinegar, water, and ACRB, I could see the lighter particles of the powder rising amd when they all reached the top, it formed a red foam(very thin).
In the second stage of me adding the lime(I used Mrs.Wages Pickling Lime, it was right next to the jars in the canning isle at Walmart) the mixing was just a lot harder than in the first with the liquids. The color immediately changed to a brown,white instead of the red goop I started with.
Trying to circulate the naptha was hard in the last step, since it is the NPS and I am somewhat worried that I didnt get it around enough to collect, but thats what second and third pulls are for.
The pull itself was kind of hard for me. I used a turkey baster and had to quickly move it to my dish. Next time I think I will pick up a needleledd syringe.
Now I am playing the waiting game as I have my naptha solvent in the freezer.
I am going to bed and I will look to see if the chrystalization starts and will update if any changes by tommorow.
Wish me luck!!
 
Well I checked on my freezer before I left my house and the chrystalizing has began. I am feeling proud to see it working. It will stay in my freezer for another 6 hours to make sure all of it chrystalizes and I will begin seperating Naptha and the DMT hopefully, I will not have an.over abundance of NMT slowing down and practically stopping the proccess to get the whitest and fluffiest.
Almost done and I am still excited!!
 
Well Chrystal is done. Now Naphtha is drained and D MT is drying a little more. Looks like a mix of Chrystals and gels. Not bad I think for firsst time . Next step is testing my creation . Also exciting!
 
Good for you, I felt the same kind of excitement on my first extraction as well. Do you have any pictures of the crystals? I love to compair those with everyone else's... :)
 
The lighting is changing the color a bit and the darker areas are spots with more NMT .

Tested traveling with my creation today and it was very good.
Honestly I did not get as much NMT as I thought I was going to. I have seen acacia confusa extractions that reulted in nothing but a gel and little to no chrystals. It would not have been a bad thing, but it is hard to store and weigh as a gel.
All together for a first time I do not believe I did that bad at all. It works and it still has the memerable smell.
Since I have complete my first extraction successfully, I think that I can move onto my next set of experiments.
Wish me luck and happy travels as I would wish the to you.
 
Well I have repeated the procces a few times and I think that I enjoy the pull, and looking at it after it comes out of the freezer the most. Such a pretty site
