Love this thread
I am hoping to get some feedback and hope this is an appropriate thread. I did Kash's Tek and it went very well (Only differed in using lye and pulled with xylene). My final product glowed well. I am curious, however that I didn't get a very good outcome due to very little residue in the final evap. Does anyone know what type of residue should be left after final evap? I had next to nothing. It smelled not like spice but different (not good with describing smells, sorry). And was maybe a tan or reddish color. If I scraped it up, it would probably have been .01 mg. Anyone have any suggestions/input?
110 HBWS, coffee grinder
Mag stir in 100ml acetone (3x for total 2 days), filtered and discarded solids
Evaped, then 100mL water/citric at pH 3.5 mag stirred for 3 hours,
filters solids, based to 9.5 with lye
pulled (3x) with xylene (mag stir for 30 min each time)
Base turned greenish at this point
Evaped xylene to dryness, very little tan or reddish colored residue/film
Shown below dissolved in 10 ml water and 8 ml 96% ethanol (vodka) pinch of tartaric
Thanks in advance.
