Hello, I never extracted dmt from mimosa hostilis before, and I'm wary of using the other chemicals like lye and naphtha from the other teks like noman, so i decided to go with he poorman's tek. One issue is that I don't have a separatory funnel. The glass ones are expensive, and the Polypropylene ones should work and are more affordable, but it may not mix well with naphtha, making it sort of a waste of money, if I get brave enough to work with lye and naphtha.
To work around this, and not using a turkey baster, I plan to use an oil or oil mixture that will be solid in the fridge and liquid at room temperature. That way after making the sludge, I could separate the oil by putting it in the fridge overnight or a couple hours and then I could simply scooping off the solid oil, then mixing it with the acid, add the oil back in the sludge and then heat it up again to steep for an hour and repeat.
Of course one major con is that it will lengthen the process, but it is less tedious imo, assuming that heating and cooling the sludge multiple times won't be a big deal. I plan on using a mixture of butter and oil, though I'm unsure how the milk solids would interact with the reaction, so I was thinking maybe a coconut oil/ olive oil mixture could work.
The logic behind predicting the melting point may be flawed, but I figured that the meling point of 50/50 coconut oil and olive oil mixture would = (24C + (-6C))/2 = 9C.
Thoughts?
