so Swim has basically made a modified tek of marsfold mixed with Vovins. and he pulls clear naptha as the final extraction, is this ok? from what he has seen so far yellow naptha is predominant. will someone please enlighten swim?

I often had pretty clear pulls, especially from the first pull. Later on when you let it sit for a bit longer does the solvent slowly get more colored. Just do your freeze precipitation and you will find out if you actually had spice in it or not.  Kind regards, The Traveler

I find that when I pull with clear (maybe very slightly yellow tint) naptha my spice comes out nice and white, and that's with an stb tek very similar to nomans tek.

perfect SWIM had a feeling it would come out nice and clear thanks for the clarification DMT Nexus! FReeze precipitation has revealed very clear crystalline structures. hopefully after my washes it will be of very high purity.SWIM used very pure naptha to pull. is there any speculatin on that whether it has any effect on final product. SWIM used ronsonol which contains very high concentrations of light naptha

yes clear pulls are always good for me although most of the time I get slightly yellow pulls which is due to pulling some plant oils I imagine ,
