The 2 most used types of extraction used here are STB and A/B. If you go the A/B route you will acidify first, but as you say it is possible to use the fact that DMT is already in salt form and miss out adding extra acid.
If you go the STB route there is no need for acid (it’s good to have a bottle of vinegar out to neutralise spills though). You just basify the material without extracting into acid solution.
What kind of extraction you choose is up to you. I started on STB (Noman’s Tek) but when I got used to that I moved on to A/B. Despite the fact it is more complicated (not much tbh) if I was to do my first extraction again it would be A/B.
If you are going to work with material containing a lot of fats (phalaris etc.) then A/B is fairly essential so you can defat the product in the acid stage. MHRB does very well without a defat.
well after leaving it over night to evaporate i think it may have been too cold because it did not evaporate, well most of it did, also the colour of the naptha (shellite) only went a bit yellow as the amount lessened is this good?
Oh so is all DMT already a salt or is it only in mimosa?
i was wondering why caustic would burn because it being a base and all then when you said "it’s good to have a bottle of vinegar out to neutralise spills though" a instant school memory of base's and acid's came back and why base burns and i was like OOOOOHHH haha.
What will happen if it is not defated will it just have the chance of having gramine?
before doing most research i had already started (like a dick head) but next time i will definatly use the A/B. any tips on the best acid to use?
