So I am aware that this experiment is far from conclusive, though the results are very intriguing and contrary to how I've been extracting for YEARS.
Anyway, here is the experiment:
~200mg of white DMT (naptha pulled) and a couple TBSP of vinegar are mixed
An unmeasured amount of NaOH solution is added until adding more does not increase the cloudiness of the liquid.
Some naptha is added and the bottle is sat in a water bath of 70-80C
With periodic mixing and maintaining the bath's temperature, the cloudiness of the bottom layer gradually decreases. At 37 minutes the solution is finally mostly transparent.
The naptha is separated to and a few TBSP of vinegar is added. The naptha clouds immediately.
With periodic shaking, the naptha takes 45 minutes to become mostly transpearent.
Conclusion:
In an isolated A/B/A extraction of DMT it takes significantly over 30 minutes to dissolve all the the particulates DMT from a polar liquid to non-polar liquid and vice versa. But it does seem to take only one pull.
This flies in the face of both the tek I wrote and many others which suggest several pulls of between 3 and 20 minutes based on the tek.
I am currently out of MHRB so I cannot test this in a full tek, but in an A/B with several boils to get all the DMT from your bark, I would predict the results would be very similar.
I will have the yield of the DMT salted from the naptha and a second pull on another day, I already did a similar experiment with salting though and I got bupkis from the second pull.
Anyway, I am no chemist or anything so if I am dead wrong on my experiment or by assuming the results will carry to a full extraction, I'd love to hear some of your thoughts
