Hi all, it's a few months since my first attempt at extracting. Pretty disappointing results first time around, but I figured I was doing something wrong. I changed some things in the Q21Q21 tek according to some acacia research I did.

2nd attempt is a whole lot better once I did the 1st pull this time. 1st attempt months ago the naphtha wasn't very cloudy before putting in freezer, but the 2nd, oh boy its cloudy as hell at room temp.

So I guess I'll get to the question now. I got the first pull in a jar now that is about 50ml of naphtha and I was wondering is it easy to scrape out of a small jar or pour it into a baking dish? I tried a baking dish on my 1st attempt but 50ml seems so spread out to be as concentrated as it is in a small jar. Or should I just save all the pulls and evap a little then put in the baking dish. I'd like to hear your preferences and why you would do it that way.

Hey hobo, I can't really answer your question (though from my novice research, I'd assume using a baking dish would be easier for scraping up the product), but I'm planning on using the same tek for my first extraction from ACRB and I was wondering if you'd be able to provide some tips. What did you do wrong the first time around? And what did you change in the second attempt?

Many have trouble getting crystals with acrb, I recommend you try using xylene as your solvent and salting with vinegar to retrieve a plenty potent oil.

Does "salting with vinegar" mean just that? Adding salt to the vinegar?

no, it means adding vinegar to the solvent.

the acetic acid converts the DMT to acetate, which is a salt (hence the term 'salting'. it is also water-soluble, but not solvent-soluble.

so you add vinegar, shake vigorously, then do the same thing with water a bunch of times to pick up all the water soluble DMT in the solvent.

save and combine the vinegar and water,then evaporate.
