Yeah that's sounds like what I did, ANC. The other two pans evapped about 1/2 way. You're right though about the small crystls, I think I messed with them too early. Oh well, liveand learn. Still have more bark left; I'll give it another go in a week or so.

Solvents are expensive, so you want to use as little as you can, make sure you get is as saturated as much as possible. Only evap enough to allow hypersaturation after and then drop the temp gradualy... fridge.. freezer.. adjust dial... wait for wife to bitch about frozen mushrooms and cucumbers.
after about 24 hours pour that naphta off back into the bark tea, as neither the tea nor the naphta is completly exhausted, and do some more pulls.
You can let your bottle stand in some warm water to help migrate the stuff in to the solvent

Good info, I'll keep that in mind for the next time I use the tek. I purposefully waited to do this while my wife was away for the weekend. Not because she's against it, but because I didn't want her around with all those fumes in the kitchen :D

P.S. we are waiting for the obligatory detailed first trip report.
Looks like I need a few more hours for it to dry, then I'll be back wih my report :peace:

Cover with one of things you keep the flies off the food with, and turn a fan on over it.

Well, Im back after taking 100mg. I think my bark was not good. I smoked 20mg, nothing happened, so I took 40mg, expecting the ear buzzing. Nothing happened really. Then I took another 40mg expecting to into hyperspace and Im just sitting here, lol. I feel a little something, but no visuals or anything. Hmm... I may try the tek again.

I'd love to hear how you light it. That may be my problem, although I think it my crystals are not good. I sprinkled 50mg on top of some weed ash, and kept the flame above the spice without touching it. I may have gone to fast at this stage, but wouldnt I at least feel something? I tasted the plastic smell and everything just zero visuals. I will be doing the tek again tomorrow bright and early as it really does take a full day.

I like to take a bit of bud, clog the hole in a pipe, then layer some spice, then more bud. Barely light the top of the bowl, and roast the bowl until it's ashy white (Don't stop smoking for more than 30 seconds - and that's only to hold in a hit). By the end of the bowl, you'll need someone to take it out of your hand.

Well I still havent "broken through yet". My smoking technique must be all wrong... the best feeling I had after going through .5g was that my body melted against my chair, and hide slight visuals with eyes closed. No ringing/vibrating that I've read about. Im going to give it a rest for a week or 2 but hopefully someone can chime in on a good technique. No, I dont want to go out and buy a math pipe :).

Basically the technique I was using was freebasing. put 50mg on a wire screen, held lighter above crystals (without touching them) and inhaled. I inhaled until the crystals melted, then turned to smoke. I smoked maybe 3 hits (all the smoke) and the most that happened was what i explained above ^.

I've done a few extractions now and I have had similar problems as you. I thought it was my tolerance that was getting fucked up because the DMT kept getting nicer but visuals were getting weaker and weaker to just about non existent while a mild body high was still present. This batch I made last week is very different though. Some of the most intense CEV and actually feels like it takes you some place. It reminds me of the first couple batches I made. So try some new bark from new sources and your experience can change dramatically.

I think I have read something here about bark losing it's power when left to sit over time. I had a pound of bark and only made half of it. Then month or two later made the rest and it wasn't nearly as good.

I've parked powdered bark in an open pot outside for over a year, and it is still good. did my last extraction from that, sent two people right through the veil into breakthrough.

Hey ANC, what is your preferred smoking method? I think you said you use basil leaves or something on a meth pipe?
