N-Hexane

[stoj]

HI TO ALL
i just joined so i first would like to say hello to all.

im about to order my supplies for my dmt extract however i dont want to use zipo lighter fluid or similar. i want to use N-Hexane is this the best chemical to use? i was thinking to use acetone after to clean and residue after would this be best way?

 

[stoj]

can any one help me please? i am able to get hold of pretty much any chemical but need some of your help the best and safest way to do this. i can not seem to find naphtha in the uk labeled as that any way. i do have naphtha (petroleum)
hydrotreated, heavy (EC 265-150-3) i have tested this and its evaporation is very slow and burns with black smoke not good? However i have heard that the heavy is better for pulling out the DMT? any advice will be much appreciated?

thanks STOJ

Acetone for clean up, how? Acetone dissolves dmt and all the impurities, unless you use FASA method. Read the FAQ please.


i would not advice using heavy naphtha, it's a pain in the ass to work with it, and can taint your final product with traces.

Hexane should work perfectly fine, if you can find it.

If you're UK, this thread might help:

Your naphta EC 265-150-3 is a white spirit C11 - C12:

that's as heavy as the Australian Ayers Rock

if you can get the dmt free base to dissolve in warm hexane, freeze precipitate it.
hexane is one of the best solvents for recrystallization.
I prefer it over heptane because of its lower b.p.

hi thanks all for the replies very much appreciated.
i have now ordered hexane which should be here next few days i will keep your all posted with some pictures hopefully all goes well.
i must say i am little worried doing it for my first time however i have tried to prepare my self for many weeks.
would it be ok to do it on my own for first time? smoking it this is, or to have a sitter?

and thanks again for the replies:thumb_up:
