Viking extraction tec

[[redacted by mod]] Now you must turn that bark into powder. I recommend putting it in a canvas bag and pounding it with a hammer then transferring it to a blender that you pick up cheap from the thrift store. Then collect a 5-gallon plastic bucket from Lowes or any place. It must say hdpe with a triangle above it and a 2 in the center. If it's in anything else besides that or glass, the lye will eat through it. Add 10 liters of distilled water at room temperature to the bucket then add 1 pound of sodium hydroxide, also known as Lye. Pick it up at in the plumbing department. Now a warning this stuff, it is very toxic. Wear eye protection and gloves whenever using lye. Whether it be mixing it in or stirring it later. Also, lye can cause a thermal reaction when added to water, meaning it will heat up whatever you add it to. So, If you add lye to warm water or hot water it can over flow and boil over very fast. In order to prevent this, you must add the lye to your water mixture very slowly. I can’t stress this enough. Add it slowly.

You got your root bark in the lye and stir it up real nice like and let sit overnight. This is so the lye can break up the bark and separate the dmt from it. On the next day add 1000 milliliters of naphtha solvent to your solution. I use white gas. It seems to do the trick. It’s a petroleum-based solvent just like Naphtha. Now stir the solution with a ladle very gentle. Making sure to switch directions and let the mixture get nice and agitated. Mix it well for five minutes then leave it for ten minutes and stir it again. Repeat this step 6 more times. I believe the more you stir the more dmt gets caught in the solvent. Get yourself a turkey baster and siphon off the top layer of solvent. Making sure not to get any of the blackish material into the solvent. I use a beaker with water in the bottom in order to filter it. Once you’ve separated it from the solution add it to a plastic container and put it in the freezer. Before you add it to the plastic container take some 80-grit sandpaper and thoroughly scratch the bottom and sides of the container. This will give the dmt somewhere to start to form and crystalize on. The freezer must be set to 6 the highest it can go or should I say the lowest. Wait overnight and the next day you can get a coffee filter and filter out the dmt crystals that have formed in the containers. Leave it to dry preferably left close to a fan with the wind going over the top. There you have it. Welcome to hyperspace. This is the greatest gift you can ever give someone. The single most exciting thing someone will ever experience. Hands down.

Hello, @Vikingberzerker,

I would have to kindly ask you to refer to our Attitude Page if you want to make the best of your interaction with our forum.

The amounts you're listing here are coming dangerously close to being too high for a reasonable extraction. One pound of sodium hydroxide will produce a large amount of heat and caustic vapors, on top of being just a risk to handle.

Can you please explain how the procedure you have outlined above is different (and better) than the multitude of teks we have in our resources section?

I'm also concerned about the whole "add the nps to a plastic container and put in in the freezer" step ... you need to edit that because NPS loves to eat the wrong sort of plastic, and plasticizers love to leach out of all sorts of plastic. Use glass, preferably borosilicate, and put a lid on it unless you want your freezer full of naphtha fumes!

I Didn't mean to violate anything. so sorry. I've Edited it to not show sources. Just wanted to share how I do things. Feel free to take it down if you feel that it's not written right or has little or no use for others that want to produce a good amount, easily without all the hippity hoopla. The pound of lye is added to room temperature distilled water. I've literally poured half a pound then added the other half ten minutes later. since its ten liters of room temp water there's practically no reaction. it heats up, hence why I explained to add it slowly. The reason I think the way I do it is better is because it produces a lot of dmt. Especially in the plastic containers that have been scratched. the crystals form super good on them. I also mentioned that the plastic has to say hdpe, so that the lye doesn't eat through it and about possible plasticizers leeching into the product. I mean come on. we are talking about a hard core psychonautical substance here. I think if someone is really worrying about plasticizers leeching then they got no business messing around with this stuff. I was just trying to post something to get some insight into what I'm doing and how I can improve upon it. I thought how i extracted it would be a good start. I guess I was wrong. Maybe I should have written about my experiences glowing and talking to fractal ghosts.

I would be curious to hear about your experiences talking to fractal ghosts, so feel free to share that if and when you feel like it.

and about possible plasticizers leeching into the product. I mean come on. we are talking about a hard core psychonautical substance here. I think if someone is really worrying about plasticizers leeching then they got no business messing around with this stuff.

If I have to be honest, I fail to see the reason in that stance. In fact, I would even argue the opposite - especially when talking about consuming quite possibly the most intense psychedelic substance on this planet, one should be very much concerned about the purity of that substance, making sure that absolutely nothing else gets vaporized and goes into one's lungs as they're about to embark on a visionary journey that defies linguistics.

Extracting in scratched plastic containers means there's 100% leeching of micro- and nano-plastics in your final product, and you can verify that by inspecting your final product under a microscope. If you think inhaling vaporized microplastics is okay and does you no harm, I can't really stop you. All I can do is share some educational resources on this topic, such as Andrew Huberman's latest podcast episode:

People have shown time and again that you can get massive crystals forming in a flat glass baking dish as well, so if massive crystals are you main goal, you can achieve that without having to use plastics. As @fractals4life mentioned above, using plastics with sodium hydroxide is generally not recommended.

after reading the attitude page i agree that this thread must be deleted. my sincerest apologies

I concede. thank you for educating me. This is why I come here.

Hey @Vikingberzerker,

I'd recommend just using a few seed crystals to initiate crystallisation. Scratching plastic and then having solvent on it for hours on end seems kind of sketchy to me.. even if it is HDPE. I wouldn't feel confident that no impurities are making it in. Scratched pyrex would be less risky since it is 100% insoluble in solvent. Impurities are definitely to be avoided.. you don't want to be vaporizing chemical impurities that are not from the plant. But I like your idea of having a scratched surface.. I just think a different material would be preferable.

Curious why you use such large amounts of lye? That would be one hell of a corrosive solution to spill on yourself.. also would get expensive after a while! That's one great thing about A/B procedure.. you don't need anywhere near as much lye. A few tablespoons in a litre of liquid is usually more than enough.

Also don't be disheartened by Nydex's feedback. We are very centred around harm reduction here.. when it comes to teks, its important that there are no risks of harm, as chemicals used in extraction can do lot of damage if not handled with care. Teks are always heavily scrutinized here for this reason.

I use that much lye because I'm breaking down a kilo of bark at a time. It's the closest thing I've found for a bulk tec. After doing the a/b procedures. it just wasn't producing enough for me and my friend group. I keep it in a bucket in my shower and wear ppe whenever stirring it. when it stops producing i just pour it down the toilet as its mostly drain cleaner anyways

There's no need to delete the thread, I'll leave it as a place where you can exchange ideas with other members and perhaps improve upon your process. Best of luck!
