xylene extraction of jungle spice after exhausting with nahptha

Migrated topic.

Help needed here, well just some reassurance really I guess.

I pulled from 120grams of MHRB with nahptha at around 40 - 50C using the boil and base v 1.2 A/B tek.

I pulled 5 times over the period of about a week and got around a 1.6% yield, which I was happy with.

The base solution is now around 2 weeeks old and I figured I would do a jungle spice pull with Xylene.


I am utterly shocked at the amount of 'stuff' the xylene is pulling out of solution from the base. I have now done 3 pulls of 50ml and each pull has been utterly saturated with something I hope is alkaloids. I can still see there is enough coming out of solution to saturate plenty more pulls yet and I've already done 3.

I have pulled into a tall thin beaker first before a tray to evap and it is clear of base, of that I'm sure. I've shone a strong flashlight at the bottom of the xylene after pulling and its clear. I also have no emulsion.

here is how clean it seperates.

that is still settling a little but its clearly not an emulsion


here is the saturated xylene after pulling

and here is my fourth pull still settling out, you can see how much is coming out of solution still and the xylene at the top is already saturated

I am just shocked at the amount of material coming out of solution into the xylene. Especially considering I have already had a 1.6% yield out of this of fluffy whites using nahptha.


Anyone familiar with jungle spice extraction -- is this a normal amount of material to pull using xylene after you have exhausted with nahptha?

New here, but I've read FAQ and some threads recommending not to use Xylene because it has bad odor, and it pulls other impurities such as oil and stuffs...


for sure, if you are trying to pull fluffy whites you don't use xylene, but I am after jungle spice.


Jungle spice is pulled after your base mix has been exhausted by a more selective solvent (such as nahptha)

Studio1one, how did those xylene pulls turn out in the end? Did you get a chance to test or ingest them yet?


I got around 600mg of brown goo, like the pic I posted earlier. I heptane washed it, evaped it again, soaked it in isopropynol and then infused some herbs with that and some harmine I extracted from caapi leaves to make changa.

It's a weak changa at 20% jungle spice and then a mix of pao d'arco, mullein, caapi leaf, pure harmala and lavender.


It smokes really well.
