Evaporating dissolved DMT too quickly?

I was wondering if it were possible to evap dmt too quickly? If so what are the consequences?
 
No you can't evaporate it too quickly but it often takes 4-5 days to dry enough for you to see the DMT crystals form. Put the dish somewhere for a week and then go back to it.
 
yea i just redissolved the oily mess in naphtha and freeze precip'd it. the 250ml of naphtha (I think i used too much since i only have 4oz(112g) of MHRB) is super cloudy. At least comparing to precipitation rxns I did in my chemistry classes a few years ago and in high school.

Also It has only in the freezer for 2 -2:30 hours and it is that cloudy. How much longer should i keep it in there? should I just use a coffee filter to collect the dmt? And if so do i wait till the naphtha is no longer cloudy?

Sorry for all the q's but I dont remember precipitation rxns very well since that is such basic chem. Ironic no?
 
leave it in the freezer until all the cloudiness has settled as crystals on the bottom.

if you use too much solvent, then you won't get much precipitation. some people use too much naptha and have to evaporate some of it before they put it in the freezer.

large crystals require a very saturated very pure solution, and very slow cooling (ie start with the minimal amount of hot heptane [bestine] that will dissolve your dmt, then gradually cool it to room temp, then gradually cool to refridgerator temp, then gradually cool to freezer temp)
 
thanks for all the great info guys. Do i need large crystals? I know the larger they are the easier they are to work with but dont small ones work too?

edit: well my freezer broke. I took the jar and poured it through a coffee filter and the naphtha went into the evap dish.There were no crystals in the coffee filter. At the bottom there was this semi clear whitish solid. I got the solid out and it turned into a liquid fairly quickly. could this be one of the plant oils? or did one of the many chems in naphtha actually freeze and fall out?

After evaping the liquid that the aforementioned solid turned into there was nothing. no crystals. no oils. Also is it weird that I have not seen any yellow oil when evaping my first run? I only let it sit 4 hours with the root bark as an experiment i wasnt planning on getting any dmt out of it. btw the stuff that i precip'd was my second (first real) run. Also the naphtha that was put in the freezer was on top of the root bark for 12-14 hours stirring occasionally.

well now I went and found out i needed to add more base originally. After doing so and letting the solvent sit ontop for 12-15 hours I decanted into my freeze precipitation container. This time unlike all the rest the naphtha is piss colored. This yellow I assume is the common impurities that are pulled. Does getting the yellow naphtha this time unlike all the rest mean i finally did it right?
 
yea i used lazyman's. im fine with getting impurities since i can just recrystalize if need be. tho on my other runs i did get little bubbles on the boundary of the naphtha layer and the bark layer. Then this time (the time i got the piss colored naphtha) after I added and stirred in more base those bubbles went away. I didnt think those were emulsions but maybe they were?
