Problem with naphtha

[relaxtrading]

Hi
I need some help.
I've been doing this tek. Cybs' Hybrid ATB 'Salt' Tek - DMT-Nexus Wiki

I think I've been following step by step correctly, however for some reason that i don#t know, after mixing the naphtha, I can't get it separate from the main solution. I've been waiting like a 90 minutes and I can't see the naphtha on the top of the bottle.

Any more information? A photo maybe? Describe your predictament for us.

Did you shake the mixture violently? Is it hot? How much bark did you start with? What's the total aqueous volume?

What brand solvent are you using?
If you shine a light through the top of your bottle, can you see a layer?

Sorry for late response.
yesterday I spent sometime trying to find a solution on the web, and finally I did it. I add more lye and water.
Now, the problem that I got is that after 40 min with the fan on, the white and yellow little grains still wet. I don#t know if I am doing something wrong.

thanks

Meaning you've succeeded in extracting and evaping your naphtha, I'm assuming. The "wetness" is probably some residual plant fats and NMT (which hates crystallising). Try scraping the crystals together and allow it to evap a bit more then post back with results.

If you want super clean crystals, you can do a second A/B and extract with naphtha again to remove the residual fats.

2Hours with the fan, and the little grains did not dry.
Does it make any different if the dmt grains didn#t crystallize or dry completely? can I still use them like this? I am more concern about safety.

thanks

Pd. I wnant to attach a photo but I can#t find the way to do it

That looks fully evapped to me. Scrape them bad boys up and you'll probably end up with a hard waxy substance. You can definitely smoalk them like this with no worries about health or safety (other than the typically government nonsense about how "drugs are bad m'kay")

I managed to scrape some , it's looks better now. This is from my first dish.

Good results. Very clean for (what I assume is) your first extract.

Yes, indeed. Now, the next step few more pulls, and when I find the right moment my first try. I live in UK and I am trying to find any online shop that sells the ceramic filter or pad for my vaporgenie, anyone knows any UK shop?

thanks

4 pulls of 50mL is usually enough for 100g of good bark. I usually pool my pulls before evap, but many choose to evap separately.

Try a plumbing supply shop. You should be able to buy replacement ceramic discs for taps quite cheap. Just find the one that fits
