Safety

[Wannabepsycho]

Ayooooo, firstly just wanna say sorry if this is a dumb question or in the wrong place. But I’m worried about there still being leftover naphtha on my dmt. I just finished my first batch, and I had the pan leaning on a box with a. Fan blowing on it for two hours, then just sat the pan down on its bottom for ten hours, I’m worried that there is still naphtha on the dmt, which would kill my brain cells and shit. The reason I think this is because when I smelt lit weed with some dmt on top of it, it gave me a headache for the rest of the day, also, when I smell the container with my dmt in it , it kinda smells like naphtha. And I’m not sure but I think I get a lil buzz from it, may just be a placebo tho. Once again sorry if this makes no sense and too long lol. Any help would be appreciated

You can make a test, evaporating your naphta pure. If there are no leftovers, than it is a good sign for purety.
Always aim for high quality products to don't have to doubt after extraction.

So like, just put my dmt back in the freezer and let the leftover naphtha, if any, evaporate?

 

[donfoolio]

You take only a small amount of the naphta you used on its own and evaporate it. If there are some residue's than it is questionable to vaporize the product you made with it.

Alright, I will try thank you

drip some drops on clear glass or plate and let them evaporate, then observe. no oily residue = good

if it smells like naphtha, then let it ventillate more (leave on dry air for a while)

are you sure it's naphtha and not naphthalene (mothballs) smell?
naphthalene smell is similar to DMT smell, meaning you have DMT there

the heated dmt has a burnt plastic smell, tho from what I read that is normal right? It’s the dmt in my container that has a naphtha ish smell and I get kinda lightheaded, tho it may just be all in my head and I especially think the lightheaded is in my head ,and I don’t really know what mothballs smell like. Currently am letting my dmt just sit around and dry for a week before I smoke anymore just in case

 

[Wannabepsycho]

Also, in my crack piped i used to smoke it, on the top is some whitish,clear stuff near the hole, kinda forms snowflake patterns

i think that i somewhere read in the forum a while ago that big crystals could trap some solvent.
people suggested to powderize the crystals before using them.
my crystals stored in a container do not smell like solvent at all.
they smell a bit sweet dmt like.

I did heptane wash, to get rid of naptha. And did everclear wash to get rid of heptane. Heptane is less harmful than naptha and hexane.

Easiest you can do in your case - wash it with 190 proof (95%) alcohol, like Everclear, or just IPA. You just pour in enough (not too much) alcohol and let it evaporate. It will take some time, like 24 hours or so. You can warm it up a little bit or just leave it under the slowly running fan.

I do indeed have ever clear, will try this

there is a thin line between burnt DMT and vaped DMT, burnt might indeed smell like burnt plastic, vaped is just non-vaped smell but intensified.

Are you sure that heptane is less toxic then naptha?
I always thought the opposite. Based on wikipedia only a 30 minute exposure could cause health issues. Heptane - Wikipedia
Sadly wikipedia says nothing about toxicity of Naphtha.
But I am not a chemist and asking for curiosity.

Also If your solvent was not clear evapping, then redisolving the dmt and evaping it with something else will not eliminate the residue from the "bad" solvent.
AFAIK a backsalt would fix a solvent residue.

When the ever clear evaporates will the dmt
Crystallize again or do I have to freeze

Ya this is also probably a problem, I’m having a huge problem heating it up enough jisttt to vaporizing it, so some is probably being burnt, so imma buy a gvg Sherlock homes type pipe

The little I smoked I didn’t even really get a good one hit with the crack pipe, felt like I wasted a ton

dmt does not form crystals in alcohol anymore. your end result will be poweder
also make sure not to leave it for too long (days) in alcohol as it increases the oxidation of the dmt.
you can store it for a long time in heptane and naphtha afaik.

 

[hug454]

using that crack pipe you run a good risk of burning rather than vaporising the dmt. I think that you would be better off constructing some kind of device that heats the dmt by convection whereby the hot air passes over it and vapourises it, whereas crack pipe or chasing it off of foil or such like contact heats, which requires a very deft hand to not burn the product. Burnt dmt smells horrible, plays havoc with my chest and gives me a headache. Vapourised Dmt, i sometimes dont even realised that i have taken any into my lungs, well at least untill my cognition starts to fragment into smithereens..

I also got headaches from burnt dmt, I thought it was just leftover naphtha. This is what I plan on using, or a dab rig

Well i assume the alcohol will evaporate within a day correct? If not how would I get the alcohol out without taking the dmt
