Hi all. I have lurked, first post How ya doing? I had a friend who experimented with 60g of MHRB using a Sodium Carbonate/Acetone technique for his first time...haha fun. The only experience he had extracting prior to this was DXM from cough medicine. So this whole process he claimed was very messy in comparison with the drying out and powdering and whatnot.
Anywho, he wanted me to ask you guys if you felt there was a difference in yield from the two types of product, powdered or whole. Also, what is everyone's opinion on Ebay. The feedback on this one guy is pretty nice but my friend still is not sure he can trust ebay.
He is going to use Noman's Tek on 200g this time. How are these materials..is he missing or need more of anything..
200g bark(powder or whole?)
Gallon Pickle Jar
1lb Lye(is ebay ok? Just in case)
VMP Naptha(Or should I use Bestine?)
Sodium Carbonate(instead of Ammonia)
Glass Eyedropper/Stirrer
1000ml Beaker
Thermometer
Pyrex Evap Dish
Hotplate
Shotglass
4-250ml Jars
And I know I am asking a lot of questions but my friend is new to this and wants to learn. On his first extract, what he scraped from his evap dish after drying the acetone was a reddish gunk with an odd smell. Is this Jungle Spice? When he tried to dissolve it in hot naptha he could not get it all to dissolve and was left with a red gunk that seemed to consist mainly of coffee filter fiber and red gooish powder.. What was this stuff? Is it salvageable or worth anything to him? He threw it back in the batch.
Thanks everyone for any help.
