Worst Extraction Experience

Hopefully others will take heed and not make the mistake I made just now. I was boiling 2 cups of acacia leaf, and got so absorbed in something I was writing, that it all the water boiled off, and the leaf started burning--then I smelled it and realized what was happening. So, I guess I have to throw it out, what a waste. Boo-hoooooo... Oh well, as they say, no use crying over burnt acacia. SIGH...I'll be more careful in future!! :(

well Delphine,I guess next time if you get as absobed in your extraction as you did in whatever you were writing this kind of thing won't happen again right?Keep focused on what you do and all will be fine.These teks are all easy and anyone can do them.If you can make spaghetti sauce you can extract,simple as that. 😉

Fortunately it was not all wasted, it was the second extracction (I've been doing three extractions of acacia leaf), so at least I got the juice from the first extraction, which is the most potent anyway. Thank Goddess for small and big blessings... 8)

I've fucked up more than one pot of spaghetti... During a recrystalization process my uncles neighbor (recently deceased)hada 50ml. beaker with 2 &1/2g. of spice and some naphtha placed in a pot of hot water. The crystals broke down into the solvent, he stopped stirring and grabbed the beaker ,but his hand glazed the rim of the pot as he pulled out the beaker and he flinched, spilling the liquid spice into the water, he franticlly picked up the beaker swearing to and at himself than tried to pour it into a vessel where it could be separated and salvaged, but ended up spilling a large portion down the side of the vessel. and dribbling quite a bit down the side of the pot. While swirling what was in the separation vessel he again spilled a significant ammount of the solution on to the floor. The pot was washed but when it was used again it smelled of DMT on the range top. He told me that the fucked up thing was that the pot wasn't so hot that it actually burned him or even hurt, it just startled him and he reacted over defensivley. All said and done, 2&1/2 g. was reduced to less than 1g.

Well, I said "live and learn", but I did it again last time I was extracting the DMT juice from acacia. But htis time it was the third extraction hat burned, so I still had the juice from the first two, thus still quite potent. But I am resolved now not to get involved in anything else for more than 5-10 munutes while the brew is close to boiling down!! Learn and live! :oops:

Ouch is right, very painful indeed... I don't know what that guy could have learned from spilling more than a g. and a 1/2. Except maybe next time you feel a burning sensation, don't be such a pussy.
