Hey all. Some stranger was telling me that he did an ACRB extraction using thicklight's tek and got all kinds of different results with each pull. He's wondering if maybe the different types goo have different DMT and NMT ratios, and if anyone has some insight on that.
Background - Some pulls resulted in crystals, but most were different types of goo, some thicker and different colors than others. He thought there was a correlation between the different results and how much of the naptha was pulled in each...pull. Leaving a decent amount in the jar, as a buffer between the purple basified extract and whet seemed like a cleaner layer of naptha that had floated to the top. Getting closer to the raw extract resulted in thicker and less clean looking goo. Maybe impatience with letting the separation happen was an issue.
Anyways - The results from one pull produce two particularly dissimilar goos, which kind of separated themselves during scraping. One is very thick, sticky and quite dark purple/red/brown. Definitely a lot tiny bark bits in there and it may be worth recrystallized to clean it up. The other goo in that batch is almost entirely clear and pretty liquid at room temp. This stranger would have assumed it is just remaining naptha, but it doesn't smell like that and it seemed that enough time had passed to fully evaporate the naptha.
So this got me wondering: is there any way to predict the DMT and NMT mix based on the consistency of the goo? For instance, would extra high levels of NMT make for a extra runny consistency?
If there was a reasonable way to judge this, then getting some level of control over the final ratios could be done through simply not combining goos that naturally separate.
By the way, I've seen the "enough goo questions" sticky and hope posting this isn't an issue because of its presence. This isn't a "how can I make the good crystals" question, so I figured it would be OK.
