This lets most of the residual naphtha drip away or evaporate before you bring the dish to room temp. Then when you take it out of the freezer, prop it upside down in front of a fan. This will keep any more drips away from your crystals and speed up the drying time before any crystals redissolve.
Your dmt hasn't disappeared, some of the crystals just redissolved and then re-precipitated on the glass as a thin film instead of crystals. If you press hard with your razor blade you should see transparent areas actually have some dmt to gather.
well...i had the dish upside down onto a paper towel....so i guess the crystals which dissolved got into the naptha which then dripped on the paper towel...right? So I lost a bunch of them

You put it on a paper towel in room temperature right away, that was the mistake. You need to have it upside down in the freezer first to get rid of those drips. But yea you probably lost some dmt in the paper towel. It's not as bad as you think tho, if you lose a little oh well you can extract infinite more.

LOL, good luck with that! Some will say hit it until you can't see reality anymore. I say use a scale every single time. I like to infuse mine onto an herbal smoking blend or just plain damiana. I use a 1 gram to 3 gram ratio (1 gram dmt to 3 grams damiana) then weigh your dose of DMT according to total weight of infused material. So easy, even a stoner can do it!

> 1.Which tek would you suggest?
I extracted DMT this week for the first time with Cyb's Hybrid Salt Tek and I'm very happy with the result.
> 2.Im worried about Naptha near a electric stove, is it possible for naptha to ignite without spark and just from fumes getting in touch with the hot pan?
That is not a realistic threat. Naphta is toxic and should be used in a room with fresh air exchange.
> 3.Is baking soda what I really need for the procedure or caustic soda? Is Sodium hydroxide the same as Sodium bicarbonate??
How about Google and some introductory Khan Academy videos on chemistry? As the names suggest those are different molecules. In Cyb's Tek you need to use caustic soda / lye (NaOH).
> 4.Are all kind of vinegar the same? Or should I only go for a white with 5%?
You need to use white vinegar. White vinegar is diluted with water - the concentration is written on the bottle. Cyb's Tek assumes a 5% concentration. I was using vinegar with 25% and adjusted the amounts accordingly.
> 5.Is it needed to have a PH meter?
I didn't need one.
> What happens if the crystals dissolve and then just let it dry? Arent they gonna form again when it dries out?
I'm pretty sure that's how it works. A lot of purification / extraction Teks are based on evaporating a solvent which leaves the substance of interest behind.
> well...i had the dish upside down onto a paper towel....so i guess the crystals which dissolved got into the naptha which then dripped on the paper towel...right
That's why it is a good idea to first suck off (f.x. with a syringe) as much of the naphta as possible right after taking the dishes from the freezer. Also reuse the Naphta then some of the DMT will be rescued at the next extraction.
> btw...anyone knows a way to dose without a having a scale?
If you want to use a scale to reliably weigh doses of less than 50mg you have to spend a significant amount of money (>> €100). I just eyeball the amount. Start with less. Just because a scale displays milligram values doesn't mean those reflect the actual weight.

Gemini has a good history of use and being fairly accurate down to 10mg. I only use it for stuff in the 20mg range, give or take. All those 1-9mg things I would use volumetric dosing, but I don't really play with those.

I doubt it.
What do you mean? I have the 200g version of that scale and it weighs tens of milligrams. That's just one brand, there's dozens of scales that can do .01g for less than $40. I think you're confusing with .001g scales. There's no need for that level of accuracy. But if you wanted to, the Gemini-20 is still less than $40. https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-GEMINI-20-Portable-MilliGram/dp/B0012TDNAM

Guys, may I please have your attention...
I did a second pull for over an hour of shaking on a hot bath...naptha got yellow this time...I froze it and I only got like 1-2 small crystals.. why is that. is it possible that i got all of it in the first try?
should I have acidified the solution before...i guess not.... should I add more base to it maybe?
