Bancopuma said:Personally, I'm a bit wary of heat...I mean its probably fine, as long as its not too hot (don't know how hot 'too hot' is), but I don't see it worth the risk. After one has expended time, energy and resources extracting the mescaline, it seems a bit silly risking your yield at the last hurdle wanting to get dry crystals really quickly.
That's just me though, am probably being over cautious, but a heat mat and a fan seem to do the job just fine.

Your stuff looks beautiful!!!
AMOR_ you said your stuff was very dark, almost black?
You dry it in an oven?
Well cross your fingers for me...
Thanks 69ron you are a good friend indeed!!!!

Actually it’s a great way of getting mescaline HCl. The problem with using HCl from the start is that evaporating away large amounts of hydrochloric acid (HCl) is very irritating to people. It’s better to use vinegar for the pull from the d-limonene. You can boil away vinegar, and it’s not nearly as irritating as hydrochloric acid. Then when it’s nearly dry, you cover it with some concentrated hydrochloric acid to convert the acetates to hydrochlorides, and then evaporate it away again. There should be a slight smell of hydrochloric acid while evaporating away the vinegar. If it only smells like vinegar, add more hydrochloric acid. There should be a slight excess of hydrochloric acid. Add more until it smells slightly of hydrochloric acid and then you know you’ve added enough.

I think the best suggestion is to use a heat pad like for seedlings and a fan, it would be the most gently way
GoOnThen said:Hi all my friend has completed his first ever extraction :d . I will post report a little later but now my friend wishes to convert to HCl. 69ron sayes in the quote below to use concentrated hydrochloric acid. My friend would like to know at what percentage HCl. He has 0% as an off the shelf product.
obliguhl said:Oh no, the vinegar contained Na2S2O5 Sodium Metabisulfite !!
Could this be the explaination why my freind doesn'T have much luck and: Is a dangerous reaction between the said substance and d-limonene/mescaline acetate possible ?
