In a dream I'm about to do Noman's Tek for my first extraction. I have three options for water:
Tap, Spring, or Distilled
Is water hardness and pH important to consider? I would think that I would have to adjust the amount of NaOH for water with a different pH...

Also, I'm pretty sure the city puts Chlorine/Chloramines and fluoride in my tap water too. Is this bad for extractions?

Tap. STB is a pH overkill and it will get you where you want regardless of the pH of your water source. Got GVG ? Mhm. Got DMT ?

It's the cheapest. You'll be fine with either distilled or spring or tap. Got GVG ? Mhm. Got DMT ?

Second that! I'd venture that with that much lye, you'd be fine starting with vinegar.
