hey, I can get a big one of these on ebay for cheap but I was always told that a regular hardware store funnel would work just fine, (filtering extraction) any suggestions?

SWIM is doing a small extraction of about 30 grams pre-powdered Mimosa Hostilis. SWIM isnt cutting corners but has already spent a bit on sep funnel for other purposes etc, so was hoping to keep costs down if it wasnt necessary.

A bigger sep funnel wont really help you with Mimosa extractions usually. This is because most don't go to HCl salt, they evaporate to get their freebase, and a solution with lots of MHRB powder mixed in would most likely be pretty thick and might clog up your funnel.
With 30 grams, though, I could see your basified MHRB solution being fluid enough to pass through just fine. So in this case a sep funnel would work, but usually you could/would just use a large bowl to mix up your MHRB solution and solvent and let it settle, then pour off solvent and evaporate (or filter).
Sep funnels are useful for lots of other cool stuff though (your other purposes), and are definitely worth getting for cactus projects.

cactus project will happen later, some day, but SWIM felt dmt extraction was a good starting point, also the sep funnel will be used in this project, although it will be after the filtration step. the big open mouth funnel is for that step. 500ml is the size SWIM was told to get for this project, and depending what he decides is the best "crystal mesc" (ha ha) tek, he might actually get a rather large sep funnel, or just stick with this one and make do.

I've never felt the need for one to use for dmt..but if you plan to use it for other projects, might as well use it for this too.
If you are doing and acid base extraction, then you can use it after you cook your bark and filter it. But if doing a STB extraction, your bark stays in the solution, sep funnel isn't used or needed. would probably clog it up as said before.
Turkey baster has worked fine for me. Naptha doesn't seem to hurt the plastic ones. But if you use xylene or toluene for extracting the jungle spice, you'll need a glass one.
