Problems with turkey baster, help me.

[xa]

Hi,
This is my second extraction from acrb, the first give me a goo cause fail to crystalize, i use the cyb tek...but anyway this is my problem:

The turkey baster that i use loose liquid when pass between the jars, maybe is to large, the diameter of the body is about 1,5 cm, in my area i didn't find them...i take it on ebay...and it's difficult to not suck up the base.

I've a sep funnel, but with cyb and similar teks i can't use it because of the plant material that block it

What i done in the first try was suck up also some base in the pulls, then add water and separate it in the sep funnel, work well.

What i can do ? i'm beginner so, please point me somewhere

Change tek with one with filtration of material and use the sep funnel ? but i like cyb and similar, no exchange jars, filtrations, boils...

Find a good turkey baster ? wich one is the best that don't give problems ?

Or do the refine water wash and sep funnel like i wrote before ? or maybe, i've not try yet the mini a/b at the end of pulls solve this problem ?

Thank for patience,
Good things.

no, did you not offend, it's allways good to have hints on safety, but did you refer to the possibility that i have little contamination or safety in general

I should have clarified. It was general safety that I was concerned about. You mentioned that you didn't have much time, and I took that as not enough time to complete the extraction and you would be hurried to finish it.

I'm sure that was a silly assumption to make. You seem very thorough.

I use a 12 inch, 10 mL glass pipette with a rubber bulb. If I'm doing a smaller extraction I try to use a wine bottle which has the skinny neck allowing for a thick solvent layer.

Sure, it takes more time, but when the solvent layer gets close to the base soup, I have extreme precision. No lye.

It was like 7$ on amazon.

I honestly cannot even imagine doing an extraction with a turkey baster, even though it's done commonly.

Thanks,
I'm waiting my order of pipettes, little one, and in the meanwhile my pulls are in the hexane in a jar covered from the light in a room temperature, quite cold, i've no time to do all in one or two days, i have to take break in between the steps, i've not figure out how much can i wait and what have to be done quick in the extraction (cyb tek)...

Then i ordered some caapi leaf for changa and some mimosa hostilis bark, so i have much thing to try and learn from...i'm reading about changa and i'm interested.

Thanks to all, i was thinking that i'm the only one that can't be able to use a turkey baster
