ok so it's pretty straight forward. be careful with lye and muratic acid the burns hurt. i don't use the saftey gear but i don't recommend not using it. i use the gloves because i have been burned by the mix

first you are going to want to poor your mhrb into your gas jug. now heat up about a half gallon of your distilled water so that it is very hot but not quite boiling. once it is that hot using the funnel poor in as much of the hot water as is needed to wet the entire mix.

next in your glass pickle jar add 3 cups distilled water that is at room temp. then add 1 1/2 cups of muratic acid to the water. poor into the gas jug using funnel. seal the lid on the jug and shake the shit out of it for approx 5 min. then let sit for min of 45 min.

rinse your pickle jar, now add 4 cups of distilled water. get it as cold as possible. now put on your gloves and eye gear. i usuall do this part outside because it smells bad. i set the jar of water on concrete, then i add 1/2 cup of lye to the mix. i put a 5 gallon bucket over it and leave for 5 min. then i come back and cap the jar and shake it once. this will help dissolve some of the lye. then i uncap (it will pressurize so some of the vapor will gasp like when you open a new soda. so wear your gloves) then i cap and shake, then vent. i repeat until dissolved. then i let sit for 5 when all is dissolved and then i repeat. i do this until all of the 1 1/2 cups of lye is dissolved. takes almost 30 min. it will heat up quite a bit too so be careful. once your done you will have 1 1/2 cups of lye in 4 cups of water.

after min 45 minutes of acid soaking your mhrb you can add the jar of lye water. do so with a funnel. your mixture will turn black when you do this. now shake it for 5 min. let sit for 10.

now you do not need to do this next step but i promise you it is the easiest, especially if using the 1 gallon bags which are way easier than a turkey baster.

uncap your gas can and put on the easy poor spout that came with it. poor your mix into the 1 gallon clean milk jugs with an equal amount in each. should only fill them 1/2 to 3/4 full. if there is more then do it equally between 3 milk jugs. now add about 2-3 inches of lighter fluid to each jug. cap and shake for 3-5 min. let settle.

so now you have your mix with the soup and the fuel. the fuel should float to the top, but you will have two problems. a foamy immulsion layer where most of your fuel will be trapped, and well alot of your fuel and dmt is trapped in the rest of the mix too. so we are going to seperate that layer using heat.

poor 1 jug in your pan. heat on medium heat until the soup is hot. stir occasionally. use your gloved hand to stick your finger in the soup to check the temp. when it's hot it is done. you will notice that your fuel line will go from just a thin line to a much bigger line. when it is hot enough the foamy layer will dissappear and all your fuel will seperate. the right temp is when you can put your finger in but if you leave it in it starts to burn. this also serves another purpose. lighter fluids ability to collect dmt raises when it is hot. so your gonna be pulling alot more then if it was cold. once hot poor it back into your milk jug using a funnel.

next you are going to take your gallon zip lock bag and nail it from one of the top two corners to a wall. (a hint is don't use dollar store bags. get them as thick as possible. try to hang them over a sink or tub. or 5 gallon bucket. poor your mix from the gallon jug to the bag. it should still be hot so be careful. let sit 10 min. minimum. repeat with every jug after heating it. each jug gets its own bag.

now that you let your hot mixture sit it will cool down so you can handle it and it will have seperated. you should have your mhrb mix on the bottom. most of the mhrb will dissolve with the chemical treatments. so no straining. the fuel should be on top and have a yellowis tint to it. rinse out your jug, and your pickle jar. put your gloves on. you will want your jug and your jar within reach of both of your zip lock. take your gallon jug and put it under the bottom corner of your zip lock bag that has your stuff in it. cut a small corner off the bag, that corner and the mix should start pouring in to the gallon jug. you might have to milk out some of the mhrb if it obstructs the hole. use gloves because that can burn ur hands. as it's pouring out some may dark mhrb goop will stick to the sides. thats ok. let it drain to about where the fuel is 1/2 to 1 inch from the hole u cut. pinch the hole with your gloved fingers. with your other hand flick the side of the bag. the dark mhrb soup that stuck to the side of the bag should fall off every time you flick it and mix with the bottom part again. do this till it's all off the sides of the bag. now continue to drain off the rest of the black goop until you hit the fuel layer. pinch the hole again. set down your milk jug and grab the pickle jar with your free hand. drain the rest of the fuel into the pickle jar. a little bit of the goop will go into it as well this is ok.

now to seperate that last bit of goop. just let that jar sit on your counter for like 10 min. the goop will settle and stick to the pickle jar. poor off the fuel into your casserole dish. if any goop tries to follow then decant as much of the fuel ass possible stand the jar upright and then poor the rest of the fuel up anoter side of the jar. the rest of the goop will stick to the bottom. if not decant again, stand up again then up another side. this works great for me.

now for seperation of the dmt from the fuel. cover your casserole dish with sandwhich wrap or a lid if your casserole dish has one. tin foil works too. let sit in freezer 24 hours. overnight will work but we are doing as much in 1 pull as possible. in 24 hours you should have powder everywhere. stuck to the bottom and floating. i use a casserole dish because it's a bitch to scrape it from a jar.

now rinse your pickle jar. dry it with a paper towel. put your funnel in the opening and put a coffee filter in the opening. carefully poor fuel out of the casserole dish into the coffe filter i use a big funnel because some fuel will stick to the side of the casserole dish and will poor off the bottom too. you can use a butter knife to keep most of the dmt that is floating from pooring out in the funnel. either way some of it will. the coffee filter will catch it before it falls in the pickle jar. once all the fuel has drained poor the wet dmt from the coffee filter to the casserole dish with the rest of the dmt that is stuck to the sides and bottom. scrape the coffee filter when it's wet. now dry the dmt under a fan. don't scrape the dish when its wet. let it dry completely under a fan. i put a fan on it and leave it for 4 hours with the fan. when it's completely dry (completly dry is important.) scrape up your dmt with a razor blade. razor blade works the best. when it's all scraped up pour it onto a piece of paper and then poor it into say a pill bottle. something air tight that you can stick in the freezer.

total weight from fuel extraction off of entire mixture. 6 grams with mhrb from one of my favorite vendors. you can re extract with fuel off of the soup. but you will get at most 1/2 gram more. if that."

SWIM is looking for a good procedure for extraction and was wondering if this one would
give SWIM good results?
Thank you very much for your time!

SWIM is only wondering,
because this seems like an oddly larger amount
of mimosa.

In short: No

No offense but if you are even asking if its a "good tek", you shouldnt be extracting 500g of mimosa at once... Start with 100g.

And realize you are in the DMT-Nexus, we have years of developing and perfectioning different teks, they are all in the WIKI, why dont you go there and use any of the teks? If you want to use a different amount of mimosa, just scale up or down all other ingredients proportionately (but again, if you have not completely understood the process and arent anymore 'following teks' but just extracting, knowing the principles behind each step, then you arent ready for 500g extraction imo).

There are several issues with the tek, its absurdly unnecessarily complicated, there's some really dangerous aspects ("I dont use safety equipment" wtf what a way to start a tek, use goggles please, a small splash in your eyes can mean blind forever), then saying to mix your lye without saying to keep stirring while you do it which may lead into a broken container.. Then it says to heat up the mix in a pan, but you should NEVER heat directly anything containing a flammable solvent, you should only use warm water bath with the fire turned off. Then it says to stick your finger in the mix to check if its warm without considering material from gloves can be dissolving and ending in your final product and without realizing just touching your hand outside the container is enough to feel the temperature. using ziplocks as separation tools which will certainly leave plastic traces/plasticizers in your final product, etc etc etc etc, plus a bunch of considerable spelling mistakes (emulsions, not immulsion) .

Please, check our wiki, and wherever you found this tek, warn others it is very unsafe.

Yeah,
The only reason I asked, was because I thought it seemed ridiculous myself,
and people on that particular forum were raving of how it was a great post.

I think that this only goes a long way to prove how DMT-Nexus is a forum, and a community of particular high quality. It is very unfortunate that sometimes these plants fall into the hands of people; who do not give them the respect they deserve.

Usually, this approach bites the disrespectful folk in the ass, scaring them off, eliminating the problem. The unfortunate thing is, during this disregard, terrible information is put out there; which can do harm. Even the most well-meaning psychonaut, who may be just inexperienced; down to someone who just wants to "trip their t*ts off" can risk their safety, even their life.

The DMT-Nexus puts the record straight with regards to (what I see as) the proper use of entheogens. This information not only helps represent the world of entheogens in a respectful and proper manner, it helps those starting out on the path to be educated properly. Also, the information contained within this site can save people from harm or even save their life.

Peace
