Many, many thumbs up for this one.

SWIM yielded over 1.5% and still pulling.

No joke about that 200mg active dose either, SWIM reported a very strong experience at that level.

Also, for those having trouble with drying, I heard a blow drier works wonders at the very end stage, when it will not dry out completely. You simply scrape the film around the dish, and give it intermittent blasts of hot, dry air with the blow drier.

And getting orange oil in the vinegar does not seem to be a big deal at all. SWIM says he thinks it just evaporates before the vinegar does (after an hour or so, the orange smell is gone, replaced by a strong vinegar smell).

SWIM is also trying the idea mentioned a few pages back about using pure seltzer water to salt out the mesc in an effort to make mescaline carbonate. It's drying right now, I have heard.
