Produced dmt using stb method. Light naphtha no longer separates.

This is difficult because gasoline evaporates at 30 degrees.

Try adding more water, I find a thick soup will hang on to naphtha sometimes.
Slight vibration might help. Wait for a few days.
If you have a thermometer, make a 20 degree celsius water bath and put it in there. Be careful not to approach the 30 degrees (or it might explode).
I doubt its the salt thats the problem, it mostly comes from shaking/mixing too vigorously, try gentle swirls next time.

Adult toys and massagers did not separate them.

show us a photo of the emulsion. I specifically have emulsion issues due to my tap water when its made basic it produces these really annoying ultra fine low density salts, probably fluoride or dissolved metal complexes, or maybe just calcium sulfate idk, but, that precipitated dust tends to go into virtually every NPS and doesnt let go, resulting in a bunch of hollow bubble skins forming as the emulsion breaks down.
filtration of this is extremely difficult even under vacuum.
One solution is to remove the emulsion layer and the good solvent, remove everything but the base soup, then add hot distilled water and just a splash more solvent, it will reduce the amount of those insoluble salts present, and it also thins out the water well.
This of course assumes that you are describing one of the more common situations where the emulsion is like, up to a third or so of the total volume, with some clean solvent above and some distinctly solvent free water below. if your entire vessel has just turned to foam, we need to see it to advise further because we are just making assumptions that you have a predictable problem.
Remember, once the emulsion settles, you can always use decanting to extract all your spice. the floaty flakes/skin/bubble husks/emulsion gunk you see, you might think is DMT, remember, it is not. its just very very very fine dust that got stuck in a tiny amount of solvent, and it wont let go, and formed micro-bubbles to small to join the solvent again. the finer emulsion gets the more difficult it is to rejoin. so. adding solvent to the emulsion you can easily leech any spice out, then remove 90% or whatever you can manage, transfer, then add more and do the same. if you can add say, 40ml to 40ml of emulsion, and remove at least as much as you added, first time, the solvent is diluted to 50%, next time, 25%, and then after that, 12.5%, in reality though adding fresh solvent to emulsion will break up emulsion. but after 3 times, you will have recovered almost 90% of the dmt, at which point, you have enough. and this assumes that all the dmt was locked in emulsion which wont be the case, it works out far far better, like 95%+ recovery or more decanting 3 volumes.
