I had this question going through my mind while doing pulls in my garage. It is cold outside but I have gas heat inside the house, pilot light, so I didn't want to do pulls in my kitchen since its right by the kitchen entrance.

The naphtha is heated. Then left to sit in the bark for 15 minutes. As this happens it is cooled down quite a bit by the time I pour it off into my precip container. While it cools does DMT tend to travel back into the bark? I ask this because I should yield more per pull and I'm getting less per pull while having to do more pulls then usually necessary.

Common sense tells me that heated naphtha holds more DMT then cooler naphtha and it cannot continue to hold the same if its temp drops. I just wanted to confirm my theory.

Doing A/Bs I've seen well saturated naphtha drop spice back into the basic solution creating nasty brown rocks of DMT. Not sure how long it was sitting for in these instances.

Try putting your container in a hot water bath to maintain the heat of your naphtha. Measure yeild and see if it solves your problem. Best of luck.

Ya that's the plan. Plus I'm going to isolate the kitchen from the rest of the house so I have more controlled temp.

I'm going to pre heat the bark. Hot water bath my solvent. Then pour solvent in with warm bark and let it sit in a hot water bath for 15 minutes. I also just got a French press so I'm going to try that out as well to get the most solvent back as possible.

Just wanted to confirm my understanding on how naphtha and DMT interact at different temperatures.

Thanks for the info.

Maybe of help

If you do end up with the brown spice rocks issue (seems to be rare to me, I think I've only noticed this with very heavily reduced acid boils) it is just a matter of getting them out, dumping in water for a while, decanting, clean with a bit more water then re-x the result. Whatever happens if your spice is in there somewhere it can be gotten back whatever.

Thanks cyb

dib im not too concerned with that happeneing as I'm referring to specifically while doing the q21. It's extremely cold in my garage and everything cools down so fast that I believe it's negating the process of warming up the solvent in the first place. I just never thought about the fact that as the solvent cools, DMT migrates out of it just as it would migrate into it when it is heated.

This came up cause I had large yields per pull when pulling in my kitchen during warmer days. Now my yields are small yet still pulling 1/2 grams for two precip containers at pull 7 and 8
