hey guys so yesterday SWIM's first attempt at smoking pau/mullein/jimjam spice(1:1:1) for SHE resulted in a failure. it was his first time smoking spice and nothing happened 
He knows my smoking technique was correct so he doesn't think it was that. He smoked out of a glass measuring pipette, and touched the changa with the flame for only a second. the first time nothing happened within a minute, so he loaded up the pipette twice more with another ~75mg each time...again nothing happened. So his guess is that something went wrong in the extraction process.
So can someone please help SWIM narrow down what went wrong in his extraction. Let me explain his procedure:
at first SWIM was doing a BLAB, and had beautiful fumarate precipitates, but when he was trying to convert it to freebase, he misread the conversion tek, and accidentally put ~.7gm of sodium carbonate into a water solution that contained ~.5gm spice fumarate, instead of a concentrated alkaline solution. So then in attempt to compensate for his mistake he added some more water to the solution. after 3 days, the freebase spice fumarate didn't precipitate at all. So then he was like aggghhh goddamit, and added some more sodium carbonate to the solution to make it more basic (pH~13), and pulled with naptha (first pull), and then limo (second pull). the changa he made was from only the second pull (limo). he evaporated the limo this time, and was left with an amber oil which he figured was mostly dmt-oxide, and jungle. he dissolved this oil in 99%IPA, and added some pau/mullein to make the changa. he had a smile on his face everytime he looked at this changa..until he smoked it
So can someone help SWIM figure out what the reason of the failed launch could be please..

when i freeze-precipitated the naptha i did get ~0.3gm white spice, but then i let this powder sit on a foil under the lamp to dry out for too long, and it melted onto the foil. so then i re-dissolved the melted spice in some more naptha, so that i may be able to obtain it in powder form again (another mistake, considering the options i had). i could have dissolved it in IPA and prepare changa, or frozen it in freezer, but that just didn't occur to a noob like me. So then when i tried to freeze-precip again, to restore the spice in powder form..this is weird..it never precipitated again, even after 4 days. the amount of naptha was low (~150ml), so it was saturated, right..? do you know why this happened?
