stb green gooey mess

[mogascreeta]

i used stb method of extraction and have a green goeey mess!! was the bark fake?!?! please help

 

[lonewolf123]

hmmmm what did you pull with? Where did you get it from?

Is it a yellowish green?

 

[mogascreeta]

i got it on ebay, and extracted with naptha / lyewater. the naptha layer was yellowy but when preciped green crystals came out, not yellow at all, very dark green

SWIM was told he got it from eBay and feared it was fake. SWIM was confused when mogascreeta wanted to know his source for bark. Considering SWIMs yields are not the best.

What color was your bark??

 

[mogascreeta]

yeah but my yeilds are green and there are not a lot of crytals coming out just a little. does a freezer in a mini-fridge work? temp is set to coldest, some yeilds are better than none the bark was pinkish purplish

What is your solvent?

Coleman fuel (naptha) has an anti rust agent that makes crystals blueish/greeen

this is most likely it. and the gooey is most likely caused from the naptha residue left over

Try using vm&p naptha or ronosol lighter fluid (try getting vmp if you can)

your mini fridge should be able to freeze precipitate it without a problem as long as it can reach the right temperature (which i have no idea what that is) seems 'very hard icecream' is what you should be aiming for.


i really hope that the bark wasn't fake.

i got the naptha at lowes. it is vm+p the lye i got at ace hardware and it is white crystals.

Did you freebase it in a metal container? Never mix bases in metal..they form a green toxic chemical.

oh this may be it as i put it in a huge jar i got at hobby lobby with what appears to be a cheap aluminum lid or something. its not the same metal as a normal lid. i have another jar with a glass lid ill try that just to make sure my bark isn't garbage.

 

[mogascreeta]

okay. i just finished a new batch in another jar with a glass lid and i am left with about 100mg of yellowish crystals. the yeild is still quite low but at least i have good stuff now. thanks

Don't forget to reuse that naphtha if you can. SWIM found out very fast that it actually contained double what he collected initially. He recommends doing very small naphtha pulls and putting each into a separate jar if possible. Combining them seems to pull less DMT out when freezing, more is trapped in the naphtha. You may find that you lose more spice by sticking to the jar after you empty it but...SWIM uses a tiny amount of naphtha to dissolve this DMT and transfer it to all the jars, collecting whatever DMT is stuck to the sides. You can either reuse this naphtha, or try re-precipitating in the freezer. He believe a re-precip might be better. No sense putting the extracted DMT back into the sludge.

Let it soak for a while too, before pulling with naphtha. He did much better on his second extraction, having leaned from his mistakes in batch 1.
