DMT Extraction FTW/L

So yesterday I finally did my long awaited DMT extraction with two mates. As of now, this is our only yield after 3 mason jars and freeze-precipitating overnight:

Obviously, I'm a little put out that after a day's work that is all we have to show for it. We are siphoning more and more solvent and it's getting darker/yellower, but how long will it take before we get any useable amount?

Here's some snaps of the process btw, as well as the homemade blender from hell (that exploded in my face in a flash of blue pain).

First pull - Too much solvent, got a little in the end but not much at all.

Second pull, much more yellow :D

Still only left with this though :(

in before Mailmonkey's guffaws of hysterical laughter and I told you so's =D and no doubt his subsequent further advice cause he's a sweetie <3

erm, that's bloody disappointing and I really hope it works out in the end <3



[edit]
... oh, and awesome pics btw!

[edit x 2]
... and can't say I dont fucking heart the homemade blender though.I seriously do love homemade electronics* ... it'll be great for smoothies in the future <3 ;p

* the boy here made his own movie projector that's ace - from various 2nd hand LCD monitors and overhead projector parts on ebay ... projects a movie from a laptop onto the full size of one of the livingroom walls ... great way to see movies

I've had some root bark knocking about for ages, can never be arsed to actually go through with the process though. Gonna end up just buying a G instead I think, despite the financial advantages to extracting it yourself.
 
Ya dont need the coffee filters, just use big glass dishes (flan or lasagne dishes) to freeze it (cling film to top) instead of jars - you will have a much easier time scraping it up afterwards as all the crystals stick to the bottom and you can pour the naptha off hardly loosing any.

Also 'Bartoline' naptha is a great solvent to use. The trickiest part is using a syringe to suck the naptha off the top of the caustic soda/water/mimosa mixture without also sucking up a load of the horrible black/purple gunk - find a tall, thin cylinder to pour the mixture into then allow it to settle so that the top layer of naptha is 'deeper'.

Need a really cold freezer too. 24 hours!
 
Hmmmm, nice, I sooooo <3 that home made blender too...I can't believe it wasn't up to the job, specially after you'd tested it rigourously and it "made mincemeat" of some branflakes.....

What did you do with the solvent you poured through the coffee filter?

I don't use a filter any more, it just seems to collect a tiny amount, and most of that melts as the solvent and dmt come to room temp so fast....

The goodies usually form crystals ON THE INSIDE of the glass.....i just carefull pour off the solvent (make SURE to collect it in another jar for reuse, it will have dmt in it still)and then dry the glass upturned, so the crystals on the inside of the glass are able to be collected.

The solvent you've poured off should then be used for another pull, as it will already be *partly* saturated with dmt, remember, the more saturated the solvent after a pull, the easier it is for the dmt to crystallise....

You should easily be able to yield 1% with your solvents there, so a gram of dmt shouldn't be hard to achieve from a 100g bark run....

DON'T THROW AWAY ANY SOLVENTS, OR BARKBASE MIXES you've used , there's no way you've got anywhweere near all the dmt out of that bark yet....

Keeping the mixtures warm will help.

And POSSIBLY, your freezer isn't cold enough, you need a fairly efficient freezer, turned up to max to get a decent precipitation, an ice compartment in a shitty little fridge with an iced up door isn't gonna do it....IF it's the case that your freezer isn't cold enough, most of the crystals won't have precipitated, and the solvent running through the coffee filter will have taken the goodies away with it....I HOPE you've collected it....

Have you got a friend with a decent freezer.?

Fucking good fun though innit Albion %), and you WILL get better and better at it, 1.5% yield easily achievable....fair fucks to you for having a go too :D

yeah agree with everything jon says, conical flasks are my choice...and yeah shallower glasses, jars, maybe you have some shallow martini glasses around?

=D

hmmm, i still have a small amount of root and rue, might try and do something with it, a brew rather than an extraction though. Thanks pete for reminding me about my root and rue.

oh, and good luck with the extraction

also, hi jonl, long time no see on here, hope you are doing well :)
 
damn, that is an impressive set up.

I am pretty chuffed when I managed to make some Na-GHB...

What is the going rate on a g of DMT? How much did your set up + root/bark cost you?
 
Albion how much bark have you used so far, and what's your yield looking like now? Nothing is lost unless you've chucked stuff out.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I've gone home for Easter, leaving my brooding friend in charge of the pulls. He thinks it's all been a big waste of time so I've forwarded everything on to him via email, I'm not sure if I can put prices up here, so other mods edit me to shit if this is crossing the line (none of these prices are inherrently linked to drugs, though). £20 for three mason jars. £5 for the soda, white spirit we already had. Turkey baster was negligable. Wasn't fucking airtight though, we had to superglue the thing together 8( First grinder was £15, broke after an hour, Argos were all out of stock when we went to return it so they gave us the next one up for £3. All in all it's a pricey venture but the value of the commodity it produces way exceeds the cost of production, should it ever find its way to market (I don't plan on selling this stuff :)).

We've used 750g of bark, still got 250g in a bowl under a bed. Each extraction I ever do from now on will be performed better and yield better, so I'm a bit more optimistic than I was earlier, plus it's reassuring to know it should all pull through alright in the end, even if it takes a week. For the record, nothing has been thrown away as of yet (unless my mate trashed the set up in a frenzy of frustration...).

And yes, MM, the whole process is fucking fun as hell! Every single aspect of it is inherently satisfying, from the grinding to the pulling to the yields. I shall be repeating fo sho :D

you should expect 1% minimum, so 10g's

when you get practised you can get 1.5%, so 15 g's...

or so some swimming cat reckons..

you really should have listened to advice and just started on 100g of bark, done properly you could have yielded a gram or so of dmt....

but, yeah, diving in at the deep end can be fun....so you should return after your holidays to about 7.5g's of dmt from your 750 g bark :)
 
Yeah we were keen to get it all on the go as fast as possible. Advice heeded.

Patience is a virtue though, and DMT is a virtue too. I like virtues, I try to collect them.
 
Might be worth leaving it longer than overnight in the freezer - if the freezer isn't cold enough it can take a couple of days to precipitate out.

10Gs from a kilo monkey? Must admit I've never got anywhere near that.

I still think I'd rather just buy some, if I could ever fucking find any, than go through all that hassle though.

It's getting surprisingly common on 'the street', though it's still relatively underground. Prices tend more towards £80 on the gram these days, which probably reflect the wider popularity.

I haven't smoked any since I dosed oral DMT around New Year as it just kind of put me off the velocity and spookiness of the experience when you're smoking it. Plus the smoke is truly vile unless it's very carefully infused with the right leaves. And even then it leaves this vague, lingering vileness.

As for extraction, I'm far too lazy to attempt it, though kudos to you for your endeavour.
