Will regular vodka be enough, I'm finding it hard to find a higher %.
Is there any other safe alcohol or is it OK to use the other stuff if I give it long enough to evap?
Go to polish shop or speak to some polish people if you know any. Ask them about 95% imported ethanol for liquor production, they should be able to get you 500ml for £10-20. I used it for all of my extr. until now that I'm testing this 99% rocket fuel from *bay
This is such a good idea, we have lots of Polish here so I'll bet I can find some!

Nice.
What kind of dosage from S Pedro, P. Torch and bridgesii dry powder should I be going for? I want a decent trip but not my head blown off!

Have you tried mescaline or cacti in any form in the past?

Nope just Shrooms, Ayahuasca and Salvia.
Everything I've read about the cactus sounds good though, right up my street so to speak.

The first time I tried ethanol tar I used 50g of powder, then next time I did 100g. Try 50g first but to be honest, cacti potency varies much.

Hmm could I perhaps prepare 100g. But take 50 if after 2 hours not much is happening, take another 50g?

Right I've got a big bottle of alcohol ready to go. I'm just waiting on my powder.
Just want to know how much water and vodka to add per 50g dry pedro powder.
Also what's the best way of separating it, does anyone have any one by links to a really good tek etc that definitely works.
Some say to use coffee filter others a pipette.

I just tried an extraction with nothing but water with a splash of vinegar added per pull and I ended up with a much cleaner product overall than when I use the Everclear and water. Just thought I should post my results, also I only did two pulls but my pedro skins were dewaxed and powdered. I think blending it when it's wet or powdering it when it's dry(before you boil it) releases the actives in fewer pulls when getting your crude extract.

That's really interesting. Could to let me know if it turns out to be more potent? It's just I would have thought a water alcohol mix would have been better.

Using water will make it swell too much. Alcohol is better. Just let it settle and then pour the liquid off or use a large syringe to pull the liquid.

Used some to make an acetate and so far I've pulled 2 g of acetate from 2 pulls and I only had 55 g of the crude extract to start. I'll still probably try for another pull or 2. Since the water pulls very little oil (without the everclear) the acetate/citrate/hcl you get is pretty clean IMO. If I had to guess I'd say about 10-15g would be a good starting dose for the crude extract made with the vinager water boil. Sorry if this was hard to follow I'm pretty buzzed amt.

Can you post your exact method here and did you trip off of this?

Right, I've received my sp powder today.
So I've got 2 jars with 60g powder in each. I've put a mix of vodka, lemon and water in one and lemon juice and water in the other to see how things turn out.
Do you think 3 days between pulls is enough?
