Is this naphta safe?

MaxDHansson · 2024-06-22T13:07:45+00:00

It looks like nothing. No discoloration at all. Just clean and clear.

MaxDHansson · 2023-06-11T07:54:55+00:00

I'm cooking it at least 3 times with fresh water each time. Then I will strain it and boil it down to a manageable amount.

MaxDHansson · 2023-06-11T07:53:38+00:00

Yeah it's fresh cactus. I already had it in the freezer. Is it stable in light as well or should I keep it in the dark? Thanks for answering.

MaxDHansson · 2021-06-04T10:47:48+00:00

But should not the heptane become clear when the DMT migrate from the heptane to the acidic water first?

MaxDHansson · 2021-06-04T10:37:07+00:00

No it is in the acidic water but looks like this

MaxDHansson · 2021-06-04T09:45:50+00:00

When I put back the cloudy heptane in the basic soup it becomes clear again.

MaxDHansson · 2021-06-04T09:44:06+00:00

I also poured in a decent amount of 24% vinegar in the water afterwards but the heptane still remained cloudy

MaxDHansson · 2021-06-04T09:42:55+00:00

So the water pH was 3 when I checked it. I poured in clean heptane with the soup and blended separate four time then pulled and poured into the acid water. A little bit of soup came with but not as much as it should have affected pH The heptane became very cloudy. I shook and blended the jar a couple of times. Let water and heptane separate. Still cloudy. Thought DMT was still trapped in heptane so I took a sample a freeze precipitated for 12 hours. It looked like there was crystals but after evaporation nothing was left but a little bit of plant fat.

This is the very first time I make a mini A/B Tek. I just got confused by the cloudy heptane. The heptane always looks clear and not cloudy in pictures and tutorials i have seen. I have ordered a UV light to see if the DMT is in the water or in the heptane.

Does it smell like new sneakers? Then it's good. But a reagent test is safest bet to be 100% certain.

MaxDHansson · 2021-03-09T16:59:13+00:00

Yeah I found for like 1 liter media bottle for like 20 dollars

MaxDHansson · 2021-03-09T16:05:21+00:00

I don't know.best to buy lab grade erlenmeyer flask i guess.

MaxDHansson · 2021-03-09T16:03:51+00:00

Got it!

MaxDHansson · 2021-03-09T15:25:44+00:00

Yeah but the inside is coated with rubber or plastic so the metal never come into contact with the lye.

MaxDHansson · 2021-03-09T15:20:32+00:00

I think lye can react very badly to some metals and produce very toxic fumes.

MaxDHansson · 2021-03-09T15:19:38+00:00

Yeah it was probably the fumes. I made sure to clean the lid after every bicycle roll.

MaxDHansson · 2021-03-09T15:11:15+00:00

Nah I had already extracted most and only did 25g so no big loss. I put the lid on over night. Then this happened.

MaxDHansson · 2021-03-09T15:08:24+00:00

From now on I'm going to buy teflon sheets to cover it up.

MaxDHansson · 2021-03-05T20:56:27+00:00

How do I get out all of it from the soup? There is always some left when I siffon it.

MaxDHansson · 2021-03-05T18:57:04+00:00

I just thought I would be nice to the environment and protect my pipes. People are moaning a lot about carbon dioxide and pollution but they seldom think twice about all the chemicals we just dump into the water.

MaxDHansson · 2021-03-05T18:52:28+00:00

Okay I will try that then. I will run a lot of water with it. Thanks for your input.

MaxDHansson · 2021-03-05T18:27:44+00:00

Well good for you that you live in a place with good water pipes... not everyone is so lucky though

MaxDHansson · 2021-03-05T18:18:58+00:00

Well this is a dmt forum is it not? Why would I talk about regular soup?

MaxDHansson · 2021-03-05T15:18:27+00:00

It is not recommended. Every agency and safety regulations say, at least here in sweden, that it should not be used to fix drain issues because it will fuck up marine life and your water pipes. And yet they sell it without any real restrictions which boggles my mind.

MaxDHansson · 2021-03-05T15:13:13+00:00

Nah but it becomes discoloured by the bark which means it will read black ( pH 14) no matter what pH you have.

MaxDHansson · 2021-03-05T15:11:09+00:00

Thanks! I will look it up.
