I plan to do a Jungle Spice extraction and I want to use Xylene. I bought Xylol at the store and it says on the bottle it contains Xylene and Ethylbenzene and is 100% aromatic hydrocarbon. Should I be using pure Xylene? Or is this the right stuff? There are other places I can go.

solubility is a function of intermolecular interactions...dipole moments, and nonspecific interactions (van der waals, which is the predominant force in nonpolar solvents).
in layman's terms, those solvents have nearly identical solubilities with the solute of interest.

[/quote] But then again I will be recrystallizing with heptane (unless that's incorrect?) For pure jungle spice [/quote]
If you re-x in Heptane you will just have DMT and not full spectrum spice. "Pure" Jungle spice is a misnomer because Jungle by its nature is as many alkaloids (and whatever else has been pulled)as possible. To be honest i used to think that Jungle spice was what was pulled after as much DMT was taken out with solvents such as naphtha, heptane etc, before using the likes of Xylene or Limonene.

But from what I understand, anything that's been pulled with xylene should be washed with acetone.
