Solvents for extraction

[DMTripper]

What solvents are people using for DMT extraction.
I've until now just used lighter fluid (petroleum distillates - naptha) and it works ok but I'd like to find the purest and best solvent.

How does these solvents work differently. Like toulene, hexane, heptane. petroleum ether and more. I can get my hands on all these as pure as possible but probably for a high price but I'm ready to spend some money on a very pure product.

So what should I be using?

Anyone!

What's the best solvent?

d-limonene for pulls - heptane for re-xtallization.

Pulling with toluene (can substitute with limonene) first evaporate then follow by recrystallizations with heptane or hexane works very well.

swim doesnt like evaporating solvents so he always salts out and has great success with d-limonene + fasw for spice and xylene + dilute hcl for cactus.
swim has yet to try tolulene but has heard it smells alot nicer than xylene - is this true ?

toluene is more toxic then xylene. i actually dont recommend people who don't know how to work safely with solvents use it. tahts why i like that the limonene tek has been developed. if one can get limonene use it instead its not really toxic (although it can be don't drink it ).

also yea its nicer to salt out things if one wants to recycle solvents and avoid putting out fumes if its done in an open area.
