Awesome. I'm glad to hear it. For a while there, I thought I'd fucked your shit up. I felt kinda bad about it, honestly. I knew it was backed by a sound theory, though. You may even want to add a little more NaOH and pull again. If you have pH papers, try to hit around 12 or so, and test after each pull. Gentle heat (hot water bath) will make it extract better as well.
thanks. i assumed it was the ph, because i didnt really have a very concentrated NaOH. i tossed the remaining salt gunk into the solution and will continue to make further pulls when i get a chance (im in rez now, and the "experiment" is still at home) but i figure i have 200-250mg now (including a small amount of black bits that separated from the coating of the lye-boiling pot, but only 10mg at most), and expect i can pull another 150-200mg now that im on track. the remaining 50-100mg is expected to have been lost throughout the extraction, as well as my original experimentations (the failures) I hope to test the new freebase during the upcoming week, as soon as i can locate some steel wool to fit into my 50ml bacardi bottle
update: still havent managed to acrue any steel wool, but have some questions as well. 1) once "the machine" is complete, how do i use it? the flame would only be like 2 inches from my face.... 2) now in the freebase, is there any other methods of administration? This quest for steel wool, freebase, crack pipes, etc is getting old, and i just want to feel the rush. I am also reading the wonderful book DMT: the spirit molecule presently, but unfortunately it doesnt fully apply to 5-meo-dmt.
something is definitely wrong with my 5-meo-dmt. tonight i made several attempts at administering the drug. 1) took a small amount 3-6mg and placed it between 4 pipe screens in my glass pipe. heated screens for about 15s before inhaling and making top screen glow slightly. this resulted in no noticable effects. (possible shakiness at most) 2) insufflated about 3-6mg with no effects noticable. 3) insufflated about 10-15mg with no effects noticable. 4) put about 3-6mg between layers of cannabis, heated briefly, then began to slowly burn the top piece so as to create large amount of heat. no effects beside those of cannabis 5) attempted about 6-10mg atop cannabis. this also had no effect 6) placed 15-20mg atop a bed of ash, heated for 20seconds, then burned directly with ligter while inhaling. no effects whatsoever, the 5-meo-dmt appeared to simply turn to ash with no vapour. as you can see, it is clearly not working. my estimates may be low, as i am basing 20mg on being about 1/15th my bottle, which probably doesnt even contan 250mg of freebase. however, even at levels of 3-5mg, effects should have been felt by any of the abouve methods. note: part of the ash appeared to take on a blue colouring. this may have been from the lighter or the 5-m-d. i am unsure.
Wow. I have no clue. Go to totse.com, register if you don't have an account, and ask about it in Lab Tips. Maybe even link this thread. Hopefully you'll get a response from someone who knows more than me.
its really kinda irritating, after all the time spent i read in a few forums that 5-meo-dmt isnt fully stable in a liquid, and much of mine was in the weak lye solution for close to 3 weeks before the successful addition of more lye and the resulting pulls. however, even then i added some more dmt, which wouldnt have been in the solution for more than a few hours.
update (again-sorry): i applied for a totse account, but after continuous attempts, i am not rrecieveing any activation emails from them, and im even checking the junk folder upon closer inspection and more thought, i realised its possible that the amount i have extracted is potentilly a larger pile then the original HCL salt was. however, testing unsafe amounts (getting close to 30mg smoked, 15mg insufflated) has given no noticable effects, and the product seems impervious to heat OR flame. even when burning directly after feeling nothing from just heat alone, I am left with relatively solid 'ashes" that are close to the same size as the original dose. assuming something went wrong in the extraction, how would i be able to test the quality/presence of 5-meo-dmt? (ie; LSD glows under UV)
crack or not, im getting anoyed by how little it is working in the way it should. I would probably have been more succesful attempting to smoke the hcl salt than this stuff.
if youre not getting fucked up off one hit, youre not doing enough. i remember i took one rip and everything turned yellow and it felt like my brain was turning off. i was only fucked up for about 5 minutes though. kinda like salvia in that sense.
well, i contacted the company again, in a more direct sense, and they removed my account for using the chemicals as personal use. i actually didnt even say I dosed it. I merely said in failed in various vaporization trials. bullshit company. legit or not, they are expensive and have semi-frequent "employee" issues. (employee steals shit, employee doesnt ship orders, etc--youd think it would have ben a good paying job )
^true. whatever, i dont expect theyd do anything almost 3/4 a year since i purchased the stuff. plus i dont plan to use them again. ive found a source with more reasonable pricing.
sweet.. thought I'd just mention that said fuckup company actually fixed shit up for me and resent (a year later lol). New stuff is snow white and actually works.. I'm about to give sublingual a shot right now- that made me stumble back here haha
i remember mine being kinda yellowish. the drug sucks, by the way. feels like crack. the high lasts 5 minutes and makes you feel like your brain's shutting down.
haha i kinda relate it to carck in that if u dont do enough u want to do more to trip harder but u cant cuz ur tolerance gets shot up. and the high doesnt last only 5 mins bro. idk how much ur smkn but smk more lol. 13mg had me dyin for 20 mins. and high for an hour
lol thats prob y. i gave my friend 6mg to start him off and he said it sucked. then i loaded him up with 12mg and lets jus say he doesnt bad mouth any rc until he takes a full dose from now on.
