He used the nomans extraction and followed it to a T, but after a few days in the freezer his jar of naptha has little to no crystals in it. Should SWIM cut his losses and finish the extraction?
I would evaporate the rest of the naphtha and what spice did fall out, let it dry then recrystallize it. How much naphtha did you use total? I usually have crystals within the first couple of hours of the freeze pricep.
about 56ml per pull with three pulls but a little extra was put in to make it a little easier to get it out after the pulls.
did 4 two minute "agitations" for each pull with about 30 seconds to a minute to let the naptha separate
were there any emulsions that formed. I usually do a/b extraction, never did a straight to base. How long did the rootbark set in the base before you did the naphtha pulls?
no emulsions that i could tell. the nomans extraction said to keep it in there for about an hour and i did (rough estimate) 90min. edit: 56g of mhrb was used
well, if all is well you should get at least 250mg up to 320mg. It really will depend on the bark and when it was harvested. On top of the extraction process being 100%
i thought i would do an update. i turned the temp of my freezer down and now i have alot more spice starting to accumulate in the jar!
cant do pictures . well i dont think i did enough. i split what i had in half and smoked one half. i felt the onset as i blew the first hit out and colors started forming and dancing around ect. after the second hit my face felt like it was melting and i began to hear a metallic buzzing or chatter but only lightly like a whisper. once that began i closed my eyes and small...things/beings dance around to the buzzing/chatter. then just as fast as it came it went. i am left with the afterglow buzz and a perma grin
Either use less naptha next time, or pre-evaporate some of it out. I usually won't throw more than 50 ml into the freezer at once.
