you pretty much just add acid to freebase goo until it has all dissolved, it wont take much. granted it might not react instantly, and the goo will contain sap, oils and fats that wont react at all. unlike extracting the dmt out of organic matter, the mini AB doesnt require a hundredfold excess. it works close to stoichiometrically, depending on how much insoluble goo you have. so for grams of spice you are looking at an order of grams of acid and base too.
Thanks drpotato! I've got a glass dish with about 1g crystals and a fair amount of red goo. I'm planning on pouring some hot naptha in there, dissolve the crystals and try to leave the goo behind > then pipette the naptha into an acid solution > then pour the acid solution into a base solution and add more naptha > pipette off the naptha and freeze...

If it's stainless steel, it should be fine - except that stitching might not be.
this is DMT question.. so I was attempting an extraction on very little info.(before I found this site) But because of lack of knowledge and resources I used ULTRA PURE LAMP OIL (PARRAFIN). for solvent and when i put in freezer the oil freezes. and i don't see any crystals. rewind i started by puttimng 500g of mimosa hostilis in 600ml of water with 1/2 cup vinigar and mixed and let sit for a few days stirring occationally, never taking PH reading ( first blunder) then strained it through cheese cloth and , took that liquid and added water with lye that was ph 12.2. added to other and stirred slowly.
(blunder #8?) then added solvent and mixed slowly. for 1 day. then sperated and put solventy in cake pan . covered and put in very cold freezer.. like -12C. and oil froze. Question is ,,,,is it worth trying to save?? or after reading alot of Tecs in here and going with a simple proven tec and getting all the right parts . just call it a learning experiance and move on... maybe learn to spell... ha ha
Yes, absolutely - you can recover the DMT with some washes of diluted distilled vinegar, or another pure acidic solution, like citric or fumaric. You'll then have a solution of the corresponding DMT salt. You can either evaporate off the water to collect a solid mass of salt, or add more lye solution and pull again with a more suitable solvent.
Evaporation is best with a volatile acid like acetic (found in vinegar), since any excess acid does eventually evaporate. Solid acids like fumaric and citric will remain present in the crystallised residue when present in excess.
There's another class of options known as FASA/FASI that I could explain if you have access to the appropriate materials (fumaric acid and either acetone or isopropanol).
What other solvents and acids can you get hold of? And how do you plan to use your product once you've isolated it? The answers to these two questions will guide the best course of action from where you currently are.

using q121q1 tek, after i did a pull, several hours later, liquid has gathered in the remaining bark, it is brownish water and naptha, how can i seperate? seems like a lot of dmt in this bit,
I have now got hydrochloric acid and VM&P Naphtha for solvent. Red devil Lye. distilled water i also bought a 500 ml Separatory funnel, 500 ml Buchner funnel and pump. 3- 500 ml flasks, and a 2000 ml flask. i have digital ph meter, ,glass turkey baster, glass casserole dish. i also have mini freezer that gets -20 C. Plus 500 gram of MHRB. [[mod edit - no sourcing talk!]] I am ready to start over. i'm going to use Vovin tec.

If you're not entirely sure what you're doing, stick to a 100g extraction first. That way, you'll avoid ruining 50og of precious bark all at once…
→do you mean q21q21? There are several methods with the q21q21 tag attached to them, so you're going to have to be far more specific about what you've done and observed.
If you're looking at liquid separating from a solid mass, you can wour it of and separate the naphtha from the water with one of the usual methods.
Should you happen to be feeling more daring, you could attempt to soak up the water with careful addition of some dry lime. There's a risp that might soak up the naphtha as well, however.
ok, I'm going to run 100g batch and see if I can make it work, I feel that I have a much better understanding of the process after reading alot of forums here. sorry about sourcing talk. [MOD EDIT: NOPE! WE REALLY DO MEAN IT - NO SOURCING QUESTIONS!] hope that doesn't get me in trouble...again...lol I will run Tec and report back with My results... Thanks to the collective...

As you've invested in lab glassware like the seperatory funnel, buchner and flasks, why not treat yourself to a proper pipette or two, they are so much better to handle than turky basters which have little fine control and dribble a lot. I've never looked back! Add a pipette pump for extra luxury and precision in sucking up that last fine layer of NPS, money well spent, IMHO.
Here's a final reminder to read and comprehend this:

so, i went through a mini a/b to wash up my MHRB crystals (following an extraction using Cyb's hybrid atb salt tek) from a pretty massive red goo infestation. This appears to have been about 99% successful, which is encouraging. But, I need to account for that 1% of red discoloration that is still discernible. I will do another mini a/b if necessary but what is the recommended course of action here for a simpler cleanup? I think i need more than a re-x and less than a mini a/b...I've seen there are some sodium carbonate washes, activated charcoal, etc. Thoughts?
