Has it been confirmed that this doesn't work with DMT acetate?
I see some of the experiments were done on vinegar pulls directly, without evaporating them. If the pulls are evaporated, the amount of acetate ions is reduced to the molar equivalent of the DMT, which will reduce the amount of sodium acetate in solution after basing. Will that still be enough sodium acetate to prevent the crashing out of the freebase DMT?
Also, does the fact that sodium acetate is a soap imply that cooking the raw plant material with e.g. phosphoric acid instead of vinegar would reduce emulsions in the pulls from the basic soup?
Edit: one more question: would using calcium hydroxide instead if a sodium base make a difference? I've heard calcium salts don't cause emulsions as much as sodium salts, so presumably they're less soapy?
