Problem with AB extraction, almost no yield.

[Spiced]

Hi,

About a year ago i prepared a DMT extraction, i did what i always did, put Naoh, Mimosa and water, (in the right proportions) in a jar and let it rest, but in this case i left it there untill a few days ago, so this jar contains a year old mixture.

I did my first pull and noticed after a few days in the freezer that i almost had no crystals, and what i did have all kept sticking to the glass, none of it went throught the coffee filter.


I thought all the DMT should still be in the mixture, but i failed to extract it.

If someone could help me out i'd be very grateful.

No one got an idea? :?

How about some patience? It hasn't passed even a day!! Imagine if everybody did the same, the forum would be flooded with content-less bump posts. Would you like such forum?

Did you check the FAQ ? FAQ - DMT Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting Guide - DMT-Nexus Wiki

Also what do you mean with "kept sticking to the glass", that is how freezing should work, and crystals shouldnt "pass through the filter" they should be on top of it (or sticking to the glass... )

Hey, i'm sorry for being a little unpatient.

I've red the FAQ yes, but it didn't help, i've red that a mixture doesn't really lose it's potency over time so i don't have a clue what went wrong.

The PH is 12.5, this should be good i thought.


I ment, there was no DMT in the coffee filter, sorry.
Normally when i pour my Naphta on the filter there's a little pile of crystals in it after all Naphta went trough, but now everything keeps sticking on the glass, and when i try to scrape it of it becomes sticky, and paste like.

As FAQ says, add more lye (to pH 13-14), mix better, use small warm pulls, freeze. See if anything comes off With all the sticky paste, recrystallize it. Use the FAQ tip on retrieving crystals from freeze precipitation to prevent melting crystals.

Let us know if this works out....

I tried this yesterdayevening and now i just poured the Naphta in the filter, and it was better though.

But again, everything keeps sticking in the glass, to the sides and to the bottom, only a small amount left in the filter, but the bottom of the glass is now filled with crystals though.

I used warm naphta for the pulls and added a little Lye.

The crystals i had i recrystalized by pouring some warm naphta in the glass and dissolving them, after a night in the freezer they look all white now, and theres some slimey looking orange-like stuff in it aswell, wich i think will be turning to goo when i try to scrape it off, but now it's still evaporating.

Thanks for the help.
