Hello, SWIM has decided it's time to extract his own spice instead of trusting others.

SWIM has about 100$, which tek would be best for him?
 
Exactly what endlessness said. The Wiki is an excellent source of solid, reliable information. Peruse the Wiki for a while, and go with your heart.

Peace

Macre
 
Thank you Macre and Endlessness, SWIM will peruse the wiki for a while. :)
 
I wouldn't even get started with petroleum based solvents, many risks involved, and also it doesn't support any sort of green movement. It's healthier on your nose to do the fumeric salt (and lasts for an hour after 5-15 min come on) than it is to put a freebase in your lungs, especially if there are possible residual hydrocarbons or lye. There are ecofriendly teks here, and a way to make ayahuasca where you break cook it with egg whites to take out the tannins with the egg. It's nice to get the feel for what the proper ceremony looks like even if you want to create your own sacred space. The amazon way is at least 4000 years old though. Take it easy, its a relationship you have with this, what you want is usually not going to come right away, something to work at. An incremental adjustment if you will
Not that dreams don't have a similar importance, they do
 
If you're looking for a direct suggestion... get some vinegar, lime, d-limo, 400g of mimosa and do Q21Q21's A/B. Still find that hard to beat for speed and user-friendliness.

I haven't looked at mimosa prices in a while, but you should be able to get all of that stuff plus some good jars for under $100, and it'll make enough spice to last you for a while... plus you can put aside the extra monies for IPA and caapi leaves to make changa!

Enki, do you have any proof that lye or "residual hydrocarbons" are present in the end product (even with Re-X/sodium carbonate wash/acetone soak) ? I have not seen any studies (or suggested mechanisms) about freebase DMT smoking and it's health effects nor those on fumarate DMT and nose health.

If you have a theory about the mechanics of the said routes of administration and it's effect on health, make it clear so (and make a thread about it ?). To me "It's healthier" sounds to much like a universal fact.
 
I vote for Normans Tek STB

Benefits

No acid needed

No Filtering needed unless you filter globes at the end

No Ph readings needed, therefore no need for PH meter or strips or the like

Snow globes worked just like any teks that suggest snow globes should appear

Snow White results

High Yield.

IMO

The photo shows NaOH at the bottom, crystallizing before the spice even crashes out - clear indication.

This is a photo I put in the tek I had up in 2003 I think it was. At some point washing soda was used, don't know if that and the baking soda dash (to neutralize the NaOH) was added after that picture was taken in subsequent extractions in order to combat the lime, but I think that it was, before that I remember plain water and diminishing yields after washing. Hence the need to add more chemz.. Later though, further modification to the tek was made and no wash was needed. It was just a simple leave some solvent and add a bit more to the emulsion and take it off again leaving the bottom - recrystallization being the great source of redemption there.

The thing about healthyness, aside from the obvious advantage of "food grade", was something I read on these boards about the fumeric salt method someone wrote about it being better for the nose compared to freebase on the lungs, yes second hand info, but I consider that fine by me - definately make a thread with your own findings.

I am way late here but to avoid NaOH solids first dissolve NaOH in H20 and then add it to your mimosa solution.
 
My friend had the same original question, glad I found this thread. Leaving with a weeks worth of work, thanks! :d

Nice PDF wearepeople. You have/know of other educational documents of similar subject matter?
