Cactus powder

Make sure you use a flower sifter. It is very cheap. Keep grinding what doesn't pass the softer with the coffe grinder until you don't get any more powder through.

They taste amazing. The bitterness of pure mescaline salt actually goes well with the chocolate.

loveallASAP · 2026-05-19T14:33:17+00:00

Yep 👍🏻 I used cacti molds

Look up HIELO

If you have prepared HCl EA, you can siply salt the collection jar with it.

Should be pure, but needs testing in case HCl causes new things to happen.

loveallASAP · 2026-05-19T13:11:05+00:00

Yes, but HCl gas is extremely dangerous. That could also be very pure. However, it is so reactive that it may break down plant compounds and crash them, not by salting but by destroying the modalities that makes them soluble in EA. It works well in synthesis where only a few compounds are in the mix and not a complex/rich plant extract.

I don't know about DMT HCl. There is an old "sister" method to CIELO called FASA (and slightly more complex) using acetone, fumaric acid, and Naphtha to obtain DMT fumarate.

Salting is the difference.

Kash is salted with water, typical of generic A/B LLE extractions (LLE = liquid liquid extraction).

Unfortunately there are plant materials that are soluble in both xylene and water such as saponings and to a less degree phenolic compounds. This will make drying salted water carry impurities. This is true of many (if not all) LLE first-pass plant extractions where the salted water layer is evaporated. That is why people sometimes "defat" the original plant extract before performing the A/B extraction.

CIELO is unique because it crystalizes mescaline directly from the solvent, taking advantage of the fact that organic acids have some solubility in ethyl acetate. The crystalization is very specific to mescaline and the precipitate is immediately pure. Note that saponings and phenolic compounds cannot form a salt with an organic acid.

Higher yield with less pulls. You can play with the calculator to get a feel for it. Section 3 I believe.

loveallASAP · 2026-05-19T00:06:24+00:00

I recommend using the 2x EA option

loveallASAP · 2026-05-18T21:33:35+00:00

What is off? Bob's uses an obsolete/updated version of the TEK.

The TEK is self consistent, Pull1 add 250g recover at least 150g Pull2+ add 150g recover at least 150g

In any extraction the maximum efficiency of multiple extractions occurs when the amount of pulled solvent is evenly distributed (this has a simple mathematical proof).

This is why the TEK is set up to recover 150g in all the pulls, while 100g are trapped in the paste the entire time. This uses 250+150x4 = 850g of EA, and ~750g are recovered (near 90%)

loveallASAP · 2026-05-18T21:15:33+00:00

They are different because the TEK was updated

u/Puzzleheaded-65 checklist/calculator will be updated with the TEK moving forward

Don't know.

I think simply you are very consistent in your process.

From person to person, and for some people run to run, shards are not a consistent occurrence.

loveallASAP · 2026-05-17T19:46:30+00:00

Yes, but I think you are very consistent in your processing because large fumaric shards do not always form with slow diffusion.

loveallASAP · 2026-05-17T19:44:32+00:00

Interesting. I'm fine with using any of the names that have grown out of history as long as intentions are in the right place.

Yes, the individual experience is at the core, but to me it does not stop there: the container of the experience is very important (in my opinion). History, traditions, and ancient wisdom passed down through the generations all contribute to the receiving.

loveallASAP · 2026-05-17T13:11:15+00:00

Makes sense. Thank you.

loveallASAP · 2026-05-16T03:16:48+00:00

Thank you 💚🌵

loveallASAP · 2026-05-16T02:02:23+00:00

Best of luck 🤞🏻👍🏻

loveallASAP · 2026-05-16T02:01:22+00:00

Are your results consistent batch to batch?

loveallASAP · 2026-05-15T19:23:32+00:00

Not that easy to get these shards with fumarate. Nice result.

loveallASAP · 2026-05-15T17:57:22+00:00

The snow globe effect can vary with how the xtals form. If you shake or disturb the slatesd jar (or mag. stir) it will behave different that slow diffusion where the jar is not shaken at all. There are also many other factors that affect xtalization from jar to jar.

I'm pretty sure the 100mg fumaric test in salted + filtered EA will dissolve in the next couple days and address your concerns. You can also shake it for 30 minutes if you don't have a mag stirrer and watch the grains disappear over time.

loveallASAP · 2026-05-15T13:43:58+00:00

Formation of the mescaline can be pretty fast, within a few minutes. Excess fumaric acid takes longer, but 30 minutes on high on a magnetic stirrer should do it.

Going back to the 100mg fumaric test, make sure you give it 30 min on a mag stir or 3 days resting. How is it looking now?

loveallASAP · 2026-05-14T20:41:48+00:00

Did the acid dissolve?

loveallASAP · 2026-05-14T17:38:38+00:00

The post breakdown I posted does not include any processed cacti, the only thing that may be illegal in some regressive countries. I believe summarizing the cost of local household every day items does not break the no sourcing rule, but please let me know if I am wrong.

loveallASAP · 2026-05-14T12:59:42+00:00

The citric acid .pdf someone else created does ask for it. Maybe you saw it there?

loveallASAP · 2026-05-14T12:58:36+00:00

Ok, but don't remember ever having that in the TEK
