Pull with Toluene - advice

[Piglet]

Hi. So i made my first attempt and it kinda failed (lessons learnt), but then saw Toluene at the hardware store. So I decided to run a pull with it on my used soup. The soup sat for about a week and today i used the Toluene. The solvent came out yellow and nice and since i read that one can't freeze\percip with Toluene i just let it evap under a fan. The result is a reddish goo that smells like fresh DMT. Is there any reason not to mix it with some regular smoking herb and vape it?

It's a bit of a shame - and a waste - that you evaporated your toluene. Back-extracting into acetic acid (white vinegar) would have yielded you an acetate goo which you could base with sodium carbonate paste, dry out then pull with acetone. This is essentially a mini A/B which also goes a way towards cleaning up your product.

Sometimes allowing base soup to sit around for a while allows the goodies to be released from wherever they've been hiding...

Have you weighed your goo?

Thank you for the reply. So mini a/b is the one I should go for after pulling with toluene, thanks for that.
i have weighed it, its about 0.030. But i wasn't very invested in it since it was a small experiment I made on the side with only 20g MHRB, which now i know is too little to work with. I was looking for info on working with toluene but could not make sense through what I found. someone said somewhere you can evap it on a leaf so I thought this might work too.

Maybe you could refer me to a relatively simple mini a/b tek please? I know its just a section out of an a/b tek but im very new to this and having a little hard time with all the information :\

For dmt, I always go the path of STB + mini-A/B (with back-salting/titration) + re-x. Initial pulls are with toluene.

You can try to hit "Search" and find my posts containing word "heptane". It can find some of my posts where is described what to do (like this one)

In fact you only need to understand back-salting/titration, it is quite simple procedure.

I wouldn't use evaporation for the solvent (toluene). It is much better to use freeze-precip with naphtha or back-salting for toluene/xylene.

Thank you all very much. I'll begin my research immediately :d

I would say no because SC is soluable i acetone, less then in ethanol, but still soluable, so youll end up with spice mixed with SC...

You have dug up a very old thread bodhidharma. But sodium carbonate is not considered soluble in acetone (very minuscule amounts). Even with such small small amounts of sodium carb present, it won't decompose until it reaches much much higher temps than dmt's vapourised point. Excess of 850c, dmts optimal vaporising point is 175c according to BWs data. No vaporiser will reach that hot to decompose sodium carb.

Your acetone must be rather wet…
What sort of solubility figures are you talking about?

Also, you can wash water-soluble salts like SC out of the water-insoluble DMT freebase with water.
