I have a question about the q21q21 STB tek. I'm going to be attempting it tonight and may need to stop before I'm done due to wanting to sleep. I'm pretty sure I can pull it off due to the simplicity of it. My question concerns a good stopping place. If there was a good place to stop, where would it be? Fan I freeze the basified mix and save it for tomorrow or is there another way?

Need response ASAP please.

Edit: also where is vineger (acetic acid) found? I'm not sure I understand what that is.

^Better not leave the basified mix overnight. It may pull more impurities from the plants and leave you with a bit more impure final result.

Vinegar is something you put in your salad :) Any supermarket should have it. Look for distilled vinegar.
 
friend had to take off. we'll try again next week.

i know what vinegar is hahaha. it was written as 'acetic acid' so it confused me. i'm new to this. im such an idiot haha.

does it have to have a certain acidity percentage or just pick up some vinegar and use it on my spinach when i have leftover?
 
Just a regular bottle of distilled vinegar from the grocery store should be fine. If anyone involved gets lye on exposed skin, pour vinegar liberally over the wound to neutralize it.
 
The several people I know who do STB extractions all leave their jars with the whole mix overnight often, my friend swears that it increases yields significantly, no need to freeze it or anything like that. Mimosa doesnt seem to have very many impurities, and if one is worried about it, doing a sodium carbonate wash will likely take care of it.
 
meh that would be against the rules mayne, but check out the googley search engine...it's very good for such stuff
 
Whats the best extraction method of DMT from mimosa hostilis for a beginner?

Yeah, you can find detailed teks if you search google. Basically you're just using a really basic solution to turn the DMT in the bark to its freebase, which is soluble in naphtha. Since MHRB doesn't contain too many other non-polar compounds that are also readily soluble in naphtha, it will yield a fairly pure product.

The logistics of how you accomplish that are up to you, really. You need to basify water to pH 14 in some type of degradation-resistant container (like an HDPE jug is a good choice), then add powdered root bark (let it sit for a while to let those amines get their vulnerable protons pulled off by the base). Then you add the naphtha and the hydrogens in the naphtha act kind of like velcro and pull the DMT out of the basic solution. The deprotonated DMT molecules in the basic solution want to move from an electronegative state to a state of neutral charge, so they transition readily into the added hydrocarbon.

You have to be careful not to get an emulsion layer. Its like an annoying foamy layer that takes forever to go away, you avoid forming one by adding the naphtha slowly and mixing only by smooth and gradual oscillation.

After gradual, smooth mixing for a while, you can remove the top naptha layer with any type of suctioning device. Turkey basters don't work very well, oral syringes work better-- if you can get a hold of a big half-liter syringe that is used to administer nutritive liquid to patients with feeding tubes, this works the best. You can control it with remarkable precision, and you don't have to repeat suctioning an annoyingly large number of times as with a typical 10ml oral syringe.

Transfer this naphtha, and the naphtha from subsequent pulls into a glass container and then let this evaporate under a fan on a low-setting until it is roughly half its original volume. Then seal the container, and put it in the freezer. Forget about it for a few days or a week, and when you come back to it, the container will be a snow-globe of crystals. Working quickly as to not heat up it up, remove the top of the container and suction off the naphtha gently with an oral syringe-- the DMT crystals will remain clumped together on the periphery of the naphtha, having precipitated out of the solution. Now just set this jar of wet crystals out in the warm air to dry, with a light fan blowing over it (plenty of ventilation, naphtha fumes are flammable). Soon you will have freebase DMT crystals.

You can still evaporate the remaining naphtha pulled off from the freeze precip and see what remains, but probably not much. Wear goggles and neoprene gloves when working with lye, it can blind you.

Just wanted to add that before the jar gets to room temp you will want to have it closed so as to prevent water from condensing on the inside of the jar.
 
I have short question about STB.

Where can I find ph paper locally? I tried the pet store but they only go up to 8.5 and I need ph 14?
Alternatively, is it ok to just leave the vineger in longer to basify just to be sure or do Is that a no no? I also have muriatic acid to use if that will work with q21q21 STB tek.

Any answers are good answers :)

vinegar is an acid, you can't basify with it. that being said, you don't have to worry about vinegar being in there for a while. it's pretty harmless.
 
Oh ok. I meant is it ok to to leave the vineger mix in until I think it's ready instead of doing a ph test to test acidity as I can't find ph papers that go that high.
 
Dude - there should be no need for vinegar in an STB extraction...period. unless maybe you basify it too much. But seeing as you need it basic 14, that's not really an issue!

I'm pretty sure you're talking about a Acid to Base extraction.

For testing your pH, you need Universal Indicator paper - order from johnsontestpapers.com - pH1-pH14, I got some right here.
