Say SWIM had some pretty damn good spice but wanted to form some larger xtals for easier vaporization...would hot everclear be a good choice?

im not sure if works , but i wouldn't risk to lose my spices

Bestine is the best for re-x. You can get it at Michaels Crafts stores.

Ethanol is a polar solvent, it won't dissolve any freebase DMT. You want a non-polar solvent.
