quick naptha pull question

[dictator]

Would there be anything wrong w/ doing 3 separate 100 ml naptha (warmed) pulls from a 1 gal. jug of basified MHRB solution? Or would SWIM be better off doing x2 150 ml pulls or just x1 300 ml pull? Thanks for your suggestions!

More, smaller volume pulls will increase yield.

Go with 100mL x 3 vs 300mL.

You can keep pulling from the basified jug long after 3 pulls, though the amounts get smaller and smaller each time.

I never quantify the number and volume of my pulls. I do small pulls (a separatory funnel of some kind is essential for this), keep them separate, and freeze precipitate til milky to gauge the level of saturation. Doing smaller volumes for each successive pull, as acolon said, would be the the most logistically sound way of accomplishing this. I generally start out by eyeballing somewhere under a tenth of the aqueous solution's volume.

I always do as many puuls as I can,Ive gotten spice out of 6-7 pulls before,the last few pulls I usually warm it up or let it sit for a longer time.

Thanks for all the tips.. SWIM think he's going to do around 5 - 6 100ml pulls from the gallon jug of basified solution and see what SWIM gets. SWIM plans to warm both the jug and naptha in a hot water bath before each pull. No open flames of course!

Another quick tip: After your 3rd or 4th pull you may find that you aren't really pulling anything else. I usually let the naphtha sit in the jug for a week or two at this point and can get another 300mg of a kilo.

Alternatively you can do a toulene/xylene/DCM pull and get jungle spice, which you can separate into white and red DMT or smoke as is.

Thanks acolon.. Do you recommend gently mixing the the naptha sitting in the jug every few days? Or just leave it?
