Hi everyone,
I've been planning on doing q21q21's extraction tek with naphtha, however i just found out that naphtha is banned where i live.
I was wondering if theres an alternative tek you guys would recommend? Im considering q21q21's d-limonene tek, but am finding very mixed opinions on it.
Thanks

Why is naphtha banned? Are you sure it's just not sold under another name?
The only other solvent that I've heard of used for DMT extractions is limonene. It's not really my thing so I can't provide you any links but it might help you search.

Can you get lighter fluid, heptane, hexane or xylene?

I know that naphtha is for sure banned, and for some reason I’m unable to find any of those as well. It looks like I’d be able to order lighter fluid here, but from my research it sounds like ronsonol no longer contains naphtha. Is there a different brand you’d recommend?

I think it has something to do with it’s carcinogenic properties. Ive been trying to find it under another name, however it seems like it’s 100% banned. I’m thinking d-limonene is definitely sounding like the next best option so far.

I also use Q21Q21's tek, and I'm in California where Naphtha and similar solvents are banned.
In its place, I use Gamblin Gamsol's Odorless mineral spirits, which is frequently used by artists.
I've found this brand at a local art store but had to call around to several to find one that regularly stocks it.
I like it better than Naphtha because of the odorless component.
I've also tried using d-Limonene a few times, with a few different brands of Limonene, but could never get it freebase using his tek suggestions, so I gave up on that one and stuck to the mineral spirit tek.

Have look down your hardware store for 99-100% hydrocarbon solvent. Painters absolutely need this shit, I bet paint isnt banned in your country too. Here it's sold as shellite.
What country are you in?
