I was planning on using this tek step by step but with acrb instead of mhrb. Will I need to make any adjustments? Or is it okay to follow step by step.

Hey friend

I have not attempted this with acacia confusa, but im sure it will work as a crude smokable extract.. I just really cannot guarantee you will get crystals out of it, more probable a goo, but you can always infuse herbs and smoke it.

Let us know if you try it out!

Okay sounds good. The only confusion I have is the amounts of the various materials used and duration of each step. But I sort of get the gist. This will be my very first extraction. Haha. I know I'm asking way too much by this, but if you have free time or just wanna help a fellow dmt virgin out could you possibly post a step by step method of this tek? I couldn't find a step by step version of it.

Would jamie's changa tek work better since there's a greater chance of my yield being goo?

When I made the test I did not really measure anything, but there is really not much to make mistakes there... When you add sodium carbonate, add excess, like, say, as much sodium carb as there is of other material (acacia rootbark, or the crude extract on the later parts).

As for amount of alcohol, put your basified material in a glass and add twice the dry volume in alcohol.

Does that make sense? If theres anything else you dont get, feel free to ask.. If I take too long to answer, shoot me a pm. Be well!

Yes that makes sense. I wrote up a procedure and if you could critique it, it'd be very appreciative. The asterisks are where I have a question or 2

Materials:
•100g acacia confusa root bark (powder/strips)
•90% or higher IPA
•white vinegar
•arm and hammer washing soda
•a few glass plates, bowls, jars
•a filter
*salt??** I thought I read that salt helps pulls. Don't know how I'd incorporate it though.


Procedure:
1. Mix together acrb powder with an equal amount of the washing soda by adding water to give it a pasty consistency all in a bowl
2. **Spread this on a glass plate once the desired consistency is reached to let it dry**
3. **Once dry. Soak the acrb concoction in the IPA, and filter out liquid (do this 3 separate times)**
4. **With all 3 IPA pulls combined, evaporate on a glass plate til waxy**
5. **Collect evaporated wax and place in glass jar filled with white vinegar. Place jar into hot water sink until wax is dissolved.**
6. **Filter out liquid into another glass bowl and mix in equal volume of washing soda, then transfer to glass plate to spread and dry**
7. Repeat step 3 (one pull instead of 3) and evap, then scrape up product. [Do more pulls for further purification]

Asterisk questions
Step 2 - How long do I let it dry. Can I use a hair dryer or fan to speed up the process?
Step 3 - Do I just soak or can I shake?
Step 4 - 3 pulls seems like a lot of liquid. Once again can I use a hairdryer or fan?
Step 5 - About how much white vinegar should I use? And do I shake/stir to speed up dissolution?
Step 6 - I'm guessing the amount of washing soda should equate to the amount of liquid correct?

Miscellaneous questions (sorry this is my very first extraction)
Will salt help the extraction? If so, how would I incorporate it into the process?
What is an estimate of the duration of using this process?
Will this process stink up my house?
Can I reuse the jars, plates, and bowls for food purposes?

Will appreciate as many suggestions as possible.

Im sure you could use the jars, plates, and bowls for food if you wash it accordingly ( for instance, wash the ipa drying plate with ipa and let it soak, then wash with water). A little intuition will help though (i was a dishwasher for quite a while at a poppin restaurant, and saw how similiar it was to extractions)

Good luck with the first extraction

Also, a fan wouldnt hurt anything and would increase the speed of evap. However im not sure about the hairdryer, since it emits heat

To answer your questions, in order:

Hair drier is fine, just dont make it too hot (like 100c). Keep drying and breaking it up till its powdery

you can shake

Yeah you can use hair drier but be careful with sparks since IPA is flammable, keep it far away from the liquid.

You can shake white vinegar.. Dont know how much, depends on the amount of plant material to begin with. You probably wont need much, maybe 1.5x the volume of the wax, and do a couple of pulls

As for the amount of sodium carb, first evaporate the vinegar with your alkaloids (using a hairdryer is fine, it will stink) till there isnt much liquid left, when its thicker, then add the sodium carb, just make sure you add enough so that its basic, and not anymore bubbling/reacting with vinegar.

hope that helps
