Apologies if this is the wrong spot for this, just came here to get advice.
An extraction was recently done- first in a long while, but not the first.
Timeline went like this- did naptha pulls with decent yields, tested a small amount of the cleanest product (very near white) with zero issues, very smooth experience. This product was recrystalized to a beautiful white.
Did two warm xylene pulls and evap. The xylene was pulled very carefully resulting in essentially zero red basified water, a few specks maybe. In the past this has resulted in a solid red wax that wasn't unpleasant to vaporize, but this time the end product was a dark red, thick syrup. No cleaning process was done, but the syrup was heated in a hot water bath at 175f and stirred, and left in a turned off oven at 175f for about half an hour to help evap any possible remaining solvents. Only smell was that off NN, and it simply would not reduce further. There are reports of red goo, so it wasn't too concerning.
Product was tested in a small amount without big expectations. Placed in a large retort and vaporized with a torch, exact same process used for NN. Only this vapor actually felt like syrup condensing on the mouth and lips. Everywhere the vapor touched felt coated in a thin layer of syrup. This almost immediately turned into a pretty powerful numbing sensation on the tongue, and the point where the vapor first hit the upper lip actually felt like a blister was forming, which was pretty concerning. Numbness lasted about 15-20min, and there turned out to be no lasting damage. If anything, a very slight sore throat.
Effects were similar to around 20-25mg NN but lasted longer, 5/10 visually, extremely beautiful. But the mouth sensation was unlike anything experienced in the past and so intense it became difficult to enjoy the experience.
Is it possible this is a purity issue and that cleaning will solve the problem? Could it be a reaction to the product itself? Doesn't seem like a heat thing because all numbness did wear off, although it was a similar feeling. There are some lingering concerns about what may or may not have entered the lungs, however. Any advice is appreciated.
