Hello, I followed the directions on the same tek using limonene instead of naptha this time. I added enough water to make the bark wet throughout and shook in a bit more lime for good measure since I do not have a ph tester. I hope that worked.
I made three pulls on the 200 grams of rootbark and salted out with vinegar. I believe I used too much vinegar. I now have about 125 mil of yellowish colored dmt acetate in a 200 mil wide mouth jar. It is my intention to use the finish product for infusing with some enhanced leaf. I already have a yield of white crystals that I intend to use for freebase, so I am hoping now to produce some "Jim Jam". This is something I would like to experience.
I have done quite a bit of reading and I am still a bit unsure about the process of using heat to evap my jar of liquid.
I have two questions.
My first question is about the tempurature of this procedure. I have read that Jim Jam should not be heated over much more than 100-125f or so. But if the liquid in my jar is mostly water and vinegar at the moment, might I introduce it to a higher heat until most of the water and vinegar are evaporated. I am going on my understanding that dmt should be able to handle boiling temperatures in aqueous state.
My second question is regarding the method. I was hoping to just stick the open jar in the crock pot on high, let the vinegar, water boil off a while and then after it gets mostly evaporated, I could turn it on low and set it on a peice of cardboard to protect it from direct heat of the element and keep a close eye on it until it is done?
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Also My heart is not set on any particular method. It is simply to get from point a to b without making a rookie mistake.
