Recrystallization Question

A

I just wonder if it can somehow get DIRTIER than before the re-xtal?

I did it on 2.3 grams in a shot glass and I have 1 gram so far. it's a little MORE yellow than it was before I did it, but the other shot glass with cleaner solvent has a decent amount of xtals in it, but I highly doubt I'll have anywhere near 2.3

Which makes me wonder why I did it. I had very clean looking yellow crystals but wanted white crystals so I did a re-xtal, now it seems like I'll have a gram of DMT that is dirtier than it was before, and then probably .5 new clean DMT.

That don't seem like a fair trade haha. They're in the freezer, I'll add pictures later on today as I'm letting it freeze for 36 hours.
 
Yeah re-x can lose you some yield. Did you decant or siphon off the re-x'd naptha into a new contyainer before freezing?
I would suggest the siphon method is best and keep the naptha hot so as to keep the dmt in the naptha.

There's definitely a knack to re-xing. It is defo worth it if done correctly though, pure spice! :)
 
I do it in a bed. with pillows.

In all seriousness, Recrystallizations do work very very well. When you did it in the shot glass, did you make sure to decant everything into a new glass? and did you make sure you heated all the naptha? if its only room temperature, you can sometimes pull more contaminates over.

I heated it up and then put the heptane in the DMT shot glass. I took the heptane and put it in a new shot glass, and then re-xtalled the other shot glass with contaminants and it gave me a gram of DMT so far.
There's not much in the heptane thing though.

I'll see how it is when I come home form work in 5 hours. I'll post pics too.
 
I had this problem mistake i made was:

- Heat up some naptha in warm water bath (boil some water, put in a bowl, place glas with naptha in bath)
- Let stand for 5 minutes

now this is imporant!!

- put in yellowish dmt in warm naptha
- DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT SHAKE, PUT A SPOON IN AND MOVE IT AROUND OR LOOK AT EVIL.

- the dmt will desolve by itself and a oily liquid will form at the bottom.
- decant the naptha and stick in freeze, keep the oily liquid thats left on the bottom for some changa :)

Basicly warm naptha will desolve dmt oxide, the yellow stuff, so just be carefull not to mix it in.
