Yellow goo. Wont crystallize

Migrated topic.

After evaping my first 3 pulls combined using a hot blow dryer I ended up a with a slightly gooey yellow substance that doesn't seem to want to crystallize.

I have always done 50g batches before this way and it worked fine. This time i tried doing 150 g. The naphtha was WAY more yellow than with the smaller batches.

It only has a few tiny crystals in the side. Is this from all the fats and oils or is it because I used hot air to evap? I also added the lye to fast and it got very hot for a few minutes. Any ideas what happened and what I should do?

I have one more pull (150ml naphtha) that I left in the solution overnight. Maybe I should just dissolve the goo in it and try a freeze precipitation?

Im pretty sure I have the N-oxide because that is exactly what happened I left a blowdryer blowing hot air right into the solvent making it swirl around. This evaporated 450ml naphtha completely in about an hour and I was left with the yellow goo. It slowly crystallized but was still very oily.

I couldn't really leave it out for 5 days for certain reasons. I left my last pull in the freezer thought so hopefully that precipitates some crystals. Instead of leaving it out I ended up scraping it all up. The strange thing is how much it weighs: ~2.4g from 150g mhrb. That means there must be alot of junk in there. It is a pretty dark yellow. I figure, worst case scenario is I have to mix it with some cannabis, Problem is I don't have and grain alcohol or anything.

I smoked a pretty small blob of it and had a very nice experience so i'm not really complaining. My main worry is that there is some naphtha hidden in there. I kinda doubt it though because I left it out for at least 48 hours after I took the fan off the goo. Pretty much everything was crystallized but when I scrapped it up it was still a sticky mushy gum like substance. In my previous 50g batches I did the same thing though and I had crystals in a few hours. I have a feeling I also got the end of the vendors batch because they told me that they had 5 kg in the way when I ordered. Old MHRB is supposed to have more n-oxide apparently.

It tasted fine and was not harsh at all out of the vapor genie and the effect where pretty nice. The real problem is dosing it. I just wanna know if it's safe. How would I know if there is residual naphtha?

What do you think is in it that gave me such a a high yield? 2.4g from 150g is way too much to be even close to pure. I suppose I got a lot of fats and oils in there. Maybe even 50% is other junk I'm estimating. I was expecting a yield of about 1.2-1.5 grams. My main worry is that there is naphtha mixed in.If there is it is probably a very small amount. Is there anyway I can tell? What would the effects of smoking naphtha be?

If there were still naphtha in there, a solvent smell would be present. It evaporates fairly quickly (assuming a sufficient surface area is exposed to air - i.e., no large chunks of spice that might be trapping naphtha inside). I believe I made the mistake of vaping a small amount of stuff that had not completely dried of naphtha, and the difference was quite noticeable - there was an added feeling of fatigue or drowsiness. If you want to be sure, spread the stuff out on a plate as smokeydaze suggested, which would give it maximum surface area for evaporation. If it's already been spread out like that for a decent amount of time, the naphtha is probably gone.

No smell and the smoke was surprisingly smooth for how many impurities must be in there. I had it spread out for over 2 days and after about a day it got about as dry as it was gonna get it seems.

Hey nen888, if I may correct you, there is certainly signs of "plant oils" (fatty and organic acids) in MHRB, you can check burnt's analysis here:


I think there is less sign of n-oxide existing though, I have never once seen any chromatographic analysis showing DMT N-oxide in mimosa or extraction results. It would be very easy to make n-oxide with hydrogen peroxide and then compare in TLC with some yellow oil/dmt/mimosa to see if there's any, and from al the people that tried it, Ive never seen it. So I would think most times the yellow is fatty acids and NMT, but there is still the possibility, I guess, of some n-oxide.

Also this thread is relevant:

Lets bring back this thread! Happy May 1st 2012!! Gosh a month since the April 1st RC Nexus fools mayham!

I was just cleaning out my precip containers and had to deal with the goo (an oily looking substance). .. I was thinking what the heck should I do with this? So I scraped it up with a razer and it sat on the razer like honey oil. This stuff was a beautiful yellow, like the golden sun shining on a romantic sunset. So here I have it sitting on the razer and dont know where to put it. So I turned the blade virtical and let it drip on a bed of mint leaves. I have yet to try it, but for some reason I think this will be good stuff! There is no solvent contaminent because this stuff was sitting for months now and it smells like DMT. Its the golden nector of the mimosa. :)

Anyone else tried the mimosa honey oil? I know there was a posting somewhere in here where someone liked it and produced it as a type of DMT smokeable.
