Possible Spice reX problem. Please help.
    #14379606 - 04/30/11 09:14 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

I was doing my reX with Bestine and the strangest thing happened. When I would put the hot bestine with the spice into the room temperature pyrex evaporation dish... it would turn incredible cloudy white. It seemed like it was precipitating out right as it hit the pyrex.

But then when I placed it in front of a fan... it went from white to clear. Or maybe it vanished... I can't tell.

Is that normal?

Will the spice be there?

I am worried.

Okay I am not very impressed with the Bestine wash. Granted I did not freeze precipitate the crystals out I opted to evaporate everything so I did not have to scrape jars again.(PAIN).


So I did my Bestine wash on 2.0 grams of orange spice. It was almost completely dry. It was crumbly and scraped up easily.

I followed the TEK to the letter.

I awoke this morning and scraped my spice up. It is still quite yellow... and there seems to be about 25% of the initial weight there if I had to estimate.

What did I do wrong?

Was my initial spice that dirty?

I still have 1 gram of goo and oil left in the shot glass.

Should I try to add more hot Bestine to the shot glass of goo to get the remaining spice out?

I must have done three hot Bestine runs on it already.

PLEASE SOMEONE RESPOND.

This is over a week of work put into this.

BTW i only did 3 pulls on my jars. I added more naptha and let the layers separate out 3 times.

Should I do another pull?

Please help.

Which TEK did you use, and how did you extract to get such contaminated spice?

Let's see if this attachment works. It's a pdf of recent teks, pictures and all.

Safest bet is still the freeze precip. It may be a chore to scrape the containers, but that shouldn't deter you.

Also, the way you pull the naphta from the container could use improvement. Always make sure you don't pull MHRB/lye too, and just leave the last 10% naphta in your container.

Well I've scraped it all up and it looks to be about 750mg - 1000mg of off-white, yellowish, sand like crystals.

That would give me a yield of about .05% alkaloid from 150 grams MHRB. I guess that's about normal.

I think my problem was that I used pre-powdered bark. I have read about problems with the fats and plant matter getting into the naptha.

I was very very careful not to get any LYE water/MHRB mix into the naptha when doing my pulls.

I went as far as to only take HALF of the naptha on each pull. I didn't even get NEAR the LYE layer.

I guess I just had alot of plant oil and fat in this batch.

One last question:

When do I know this stuff is safe to smoke? When is the Bestine gone?

It's been in front of a fan all last night and all day today. It scrapes up cleanly

When you can't smell it anymore, you should be good to go!

If it's dry, you're good to go.

To be honest though, i've also used powdered root bark and had not problems with fat and oil contamination. So i don't know what went wrong that time, but what you got is good.
