Lots of ppl requested that i post what i did to get the citrus spice aegle and myself had spoken about, i really dont know how it is any different to what is posted here allready - i kinda just followed the instructions posted by 69Ron then freebased it.
Here is what swim did - btw swim is still on pull 5 - pull 4 yeilded about 220mg of acetate so lots more in there still.
Swim started with 100g MHRB
Chopped it up with scissors
ground it up
added 100g calcium hydroxide - perhaps overkill but im sure its fine
added just enough water to moist it but not make it watery then let it sit for about 10 mins
added about 300ml d-limonene and put it all in a big consol jar - shook it up like mad and let it sit a few times
then filtered it by squeezing it thru a piece of cotton cloth
swim noticed that there was some water in the first squeeze - it was separated from the dlimonene and put aside - swim thinks this tek works better when drier.
about 25ml of vinegar was then added to the d-limonene and shaken like crazy
the vinegar and d-limonene were separated and this process was repeated 2 times - all the vinegar added together and evaporated to yeild a mixed mimosa alkaloid acetate goo
the d-limonene was then put back on the bark and lime mix and pull 2 done while swim continued to convert the acetates to freebase form - to do this swim mixed the goo with 2 parts sodium carbonate and enough water to make it moist
this was then dried to a powder, ground and 3 d-limonene pulls were done on it
the d-limonene was evaporated to yeild
freebase lemon spice - the taste is not bad and the fx are very different to normal spice - its smoother and not as shocking and feels more complete - you can feel the jungle alot. to dose swim decided weighing it was just going to be messy and a good eyeballing was needed so swim put some on a pin and tried 1 drop from a pin - very active - very nice.
swim thinks there is still d-limonene in the spice and wants it to evap for longer before he tries smoking any more - swim is also hoping that it will xtalize somewhat over time.
The total yeild will be calculated after the bark has finished yielding - but second pull was just as big if not bigger than pull 1 and pull 1 was quite reasonable anyway - swim thinks this tek will yeild well over 1.2%
second pull was added to the first then d-limonene was used to see if any kind of separation occured between jungle and spice third pull is in the same picture - see the swims citrus spice color swatches thread.
pull 4 has been added and all mixed up - pull 5 is on its way and the vinegar came off the d-limonene yellow orange so it looks like it still has a lot in there.
after pull 3 swim changed to using this
It is far easier and superior mixing it by hand. The bark and lime is packed in there so hard one would imagine no d-limonene could penetrate it but it pours through in minutes.
sorry for excessive pics
