DMT extraction warning. Base is highly caustic to metals! 2

Hi folks.
Just wanted to share that a tiny splash of basic solution is enough to destroy a metal crockpot.
It's the crockpot I use for heating (double-boiling) my jars. A splash of basic solution must have hit the outside of the pot unnoticed. It remained there for several weeks, as my last extraction was in november. Must have been there for several weeks at least.
Today I wanted to use the pot again, filled in water and suddenly I wondered why my whole kitchen is wet. Saw this tiny hole in the pot leaking water.
A tiny splash of basic water is enough to corrode holes into crockpots, overtime.
So be carefull when handling basic solutions while extracting dmt. Always use gloves and googles.

Good reminder for all, but especially for the newbies.
You sure there wasn't an underlying manufacturing defect? Seems awfully punctate for a splash, which I would have thought would be a more spread-out corrosion.

There was a black, dried splash on the outside, directly above /around the hole.
The pot was intact for months. I used it several times, never noticed a hole in it. Would be too much of a coincidence if it splashed exactly onto a manufacturing defect.
See the corrosed outline in the first pic? That's the size of the splash. I cannot wash this outline away, it's etched into the metal from the outside.

I think this never can be stressed enough Also be very careful with your glass jars, people have reported NaOH weakening them to the extend that they broke during shaking
Is your pot made out of aluminum? Because (stainless) steel should be rather safe. While I noticed that the rubber coating of my mason jar lids gets stripped easily by the NaOH solution, the lid itself (made out oftinplate) still looks quite ok.

Thank you for this post! Freaky stuff.

Darned shame to have to trash it. I hate sending otherwise useful appliances to the landfill. Hopefully they do metal recycling where you live. 
I guess the moral of the story is to rinse everything off well, even if you don't suspect a spill.

I used to praise and support DMT. Then it became clear that it can either be synthesized or extracted using chemicals such as those found in Naptha and Lye.
It would give a heaven experience for me.
If heaven has to be synthesized or extracted via chemicals that are bad for the environment, then it can't be as spiritual as it's claimed.

Thankfully, dmt grows naturally on trees. You just have to boil and drink it to trip. No nasty chemicals at all are needed to get to the essence of life. 
Don't blame the substance. Blame those who seek this modern psychedelic kick in the face called smoking dmt. 
Nice usersame btw.

@ I AM SWIM 
I guess you don't take prescription drugs or eat processed meat, cheese, etc?

Lye isn't actually bad for the environment. In fact, it's quite common in nature. It's found in rivers, in soil, all sorts of places.
And naptha is totally innocent although it might be a carcinogen if you handle it as a pure chemical enough but it's certainly not a very strong one.
