=== [[Leaf Enhancement]] ===

Enhanced Leaf is a method of administration whereby one dissolves their DMT freebase in either Ethyl Alcohol, Acetone or Isopropyl Alcohol with any smokable herb and allowing this to evaporate. This allows an easier administration than freebase DMT, a cone is loaded and pulled very slowly, being careful not to pull it too fast, as this will not vapourise the DMT and alot of the DMT will be wasted.

==== Procedure ====

Thoroughly dissolve the freebase DMT (use about 40ml of solvent per gram of DMT)in the warm solvent of choice. You want to use a dish with a width that will allow your leaf to sit between 5-10mm high. Add the leaf to the DMT saturated solvent and swirl it around so all the leaf is spread evenly on the bottom of your dish. If needed, a little more solvent can be added so that the leaf is well
covered. Place the dish somewhere where it will stay undisturbed for several days. Once completely dry, the leaf can be weighed. It should be heavier by the amount of freebase DMT that it is enhanced with.

[[The Inspirator]] was considered by its designer to be the criterion of efficiency for vaporizing [[spice]], and to be a cheap and effective method of achieving sufficiently cool, full, measured doses. The device is inspired in part by [[The Machine]] but operates by convection heating--diffusing the heat through a ceramic heat-sink, in turn heating the airflow--rather than conduction. This design was the final evolution of [[The Mini-Machine Bubbler Stem]], though has since been succeeded by [[The Inspirator mkII]].

===== Procedure for Construction =====
{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|Though this design is thought to minimize the possibility of exposure, SuperWool 607 HT should be used for health considerations, as ceramic fiber can be hazardous to the repiratory system.}}
{{materials_list

|
* Butane Torch (same one that will be used for vaporization)
* Glass Dropper Stem (either from a pharmacy OTC or an online vendor)
* Ceramic Fiber (in any form, often found as blankets)
** '''Please use SuperWool 607 HT for health considerations.'''
* 1 Round Metal Screen or Faucet Aerator (as long as the metal doesn't burn or melt with the use of a butane torch)
* A Thin Metal Rod (even a paper clip would probably work)
* Safety Pin (long enough to punch holes through the plug)
* Pliers
* Rubber Gasket and/or Latex Tubing

# Carefully crush the nozzle of the dropper stem with pliers, leaving a slight portion of the nozzle's curve.
#* ''be sure to wash out any lingering pieces of glass.''
# Melt the broken end of the stem with a torch so that the sharp edges are dulled and any cracks sealed.
# Cut a segment of ceramic fiber, and use a thin metal rod to stuff it down toward the nozzle-end snuggly, and so that a part of the ceramic is exposed out of the heat intake.
# Ensure that the screen to be used is heat resistant by applying direct flame with the torch, and if smoke emits, continue to burn until no more can be observed.
#* ''alternatively, a small metal mesh plug can be prepared from steel or copper scrub-pad in the same manner.''
#* ''this is the absolute highest temperature this piece will ever reach and will remain inert while in use.''
# After it has cooled, use a chopstick or another cylindrical device thin enough to fit the inside of the dropper stem to apply pressure to the center of the screen while bending the edges up and around the device to mold it into a form that will fit snuggly in the stem.
# Carefully push the screen as snuggly as possible atop the ceramic fiber plug in the piece, working edges down between the glass and the plug.
# Fit two gaskets on the stem far enough from the plug to avoid heat but far enough from the other end to provide a stable stem.
#* ''alternatively and more cheaply, a small section of latex tubing could be rolled or folded into a ring around the stem to serve the same purpose.''

===== Calibration =====
{{Procedure
|for Calibrating Airflow
|
{{ShowInfo/In Article|[[Image:Information.png]]|'''NOTE'''|Airflow is the key factor in ensuring the quality and effectiveness of the device. A properly calibrated Inspirator will vaporize perfectly with little to no subsequent maintenance.
|0px
|
}}
# Using a thin metal rod or similar device, compress the screen and ceramic fiber plug by gradually and carefully working down the edges of the screen.
# Keep the screen stable and in place with the rod, and, with a safety pin, punch a hole through the plug from the intake of the piece to the screen, working the ceramic around to compress it to the sides in order to help it hold it's form.
# Remove the rod and use the safety pin to push the screen slightly off of the ceramic plug, and gently dig any remaining ceramic in the middle of the screen into the sides.
# To test the airflow, simply blow through the open-end of the piece, but the success of calibration can be more accurately gauged by seating in a bubbler and drawing air through.
#* ''there should be some amount of pressure but no strain on the draw.''
# The result of proper calibration will be rapid production of thick and cool vapor almost immediately upon heat application.
}}

===== Administration. =====
{{procedure
|Use w/ Dry Freebase
|
{{ShowInfo/In Article|[[Image:Information.png]]|'''NOTE'''|This procedure works as well with one screen inserted as two.
|0px
|
}}
# Place product into the open end of the stem and stuff down to the screen with a thin rod.
# Feather the glass with a torch until the product melts into the screen.
# Insert the stem into a bubbler as a bowl, with the open end in.
# Use a torch to apply heat to the exposed ceramic portion of the plug while drawing air through the bubbler.
#* ''keeping some distance with the torch is recommended to avoiding burning or overheating.''
# Only apply heat until a decent amount of vapor can be observed in the chamber, carb the bubbler immediately but briefly, and continue to apply heat and inhale in the same manner.
#* ''once the device reaches a sufficient temperature, it will give off vapor rapidly and will not necessarily require continued heat application, but continue to heat periodically during the draw to ensure complete vaporization.''
#* ''if the vapor emits too slow or becomes harsh--either hot or burnt--this is due to inadequate airflow through the plug and must be calibrated'' with a safety pin for the device to operate properly.''

{{procedure
|Use w/ Acetate Tincture
|
{{ShowInfo/In Article|[[Image:Information.png]]|'''NOTE'''|It is recommended that two screens be used for this procedure.

|
}}
# A tincture may be produced specifically for vaporization by placing a known amount of freebase in a dropper bottle and diluting with distilled white vinegar (5% acetic acid), heating with a hot water bath and shaking vigorously, evaporating the contents of the dropper bottle and repeating until the contents are completely dissolved.
#* ''currently 200mg/mL, yielding ~7mg/drop, is the recommended maximum concentration.''
#* ''oral use of a tincture produced in this manner is not recommended, due to the lack of a proper preservative
# The Inspirator may then be loaded with sets of 1-3 drops (recommended) followed by feathering the piece with a torch between sets and prior to usage in order to boil off excess water, as well as to dissociate acetic acid from the product to render a freebase.
#* ''this will help prevent any tincture from running out of the piece, as well as to eliminate acid to improve the quality of the vapor.''
#* ''do not put the nozzle directly in the piece, as this will create a seal, resulting in positive pressure forcing some of the tincture out of the piece.''
# Proceed with normal vaporization procedure as outlined in use with dry freebase.
}}

===== Notes on Effective Use and Maintenance =====

{{Procedure
|for Cleaning The Inspirator
|
# ''Attach a chemically resistant dropper bulb to the open end of the stem.''
# ''Prepare a flask of cleaning solvent (IPA or acetone work best).''
# ''Draw in the solvent and squirt out through the plug until sufficiently clean.''
#* <small>''actives may potentially be salvaged from cleaning solvent collected over time.''</small>
# ''Scrub with a q-tip.''
# ''Carefully blow out remaining solvent.''
# ''Feather the piece with a torch to aid in evaporating solvent and carefully apply the flame to the tip in order to burn any residual solvent.''
#* <small>''the tip will light up like a candle, so allow the flame to burn while feathering the glass with a torch to hasten the process.''</small>
# ''Scrub out moisture with the other end of the q-tip.''
# ''Ensure the absence of residual solvent prior to use by smell and further flame application.''
# ''[[#Calibration|Recalibrate]] the piece if necessary.
}}

====== Storage ======

To ensure that the inspirator is clean prior to every use, it can be stored in a dropper bottle filled with [[IPA]].
* Ensure the absence of IPA in the piece prior to usage by heating, burning and blowing the residual solvent out of the piece.

<table valign="top">
<tr>
<td>[[File:Dropper-set.JPG|thumb|center|320px|Two [[The Inspirator|Inspirators]] stored in dropper bottles, preserved with [[IPA]], along with a super-concentrated acetate [[spice]] tincture intended for vaporization.]]</td>

</tr>
</table>

====== Further Tips ======

* Another handy method for storing the piece would be to cap the nozzle end with the dropper bulb in order to protect from breakage and keep track of the bulb to use when cleaning.
* A second gasket generally makes the piece safer to handle--especially if used as a pull stem--while the other provides a seal.
* For group sessions, it would be easiest to prepare an individual piece for each person so that dosage can be more easily regulated.
* When handling the piece after heating, handle by the gasket and avoid any part of the heated portion of the glass coming into any contact with hard surfaces.
* A good way to cool down a stem is to roll it rapidly between the palms, drawing the heat off the glass with one's hands.
* If the the nozzle end of the piece breaks off at any point, carefully push the plug to the other end of the piece when it has sufficiently cooled, heat the sharp edges until dulled, and push the plug back into place firmly, with a finger in place causing the plug to mushroom slightly until it fits snugly in place.
* Ensure adequate airflow through the piece by poking holes in the plug with a safety pin.
* Develop a relationship with the device.

[[The Inspirator mkII]] is considered by its designer to be the criterion of efficiency for vaporizing [[spice]], and to be a cheap and effective method of achieving sufficiently cool, full, measured doses. The device is inspired in part by [[The Machine]] but operates by convection heating--diffusing the heat through a ceramic heat-sink, in turn heating the airflow--rather than heating by conduction. This design was the final evolution of [[The Mini-Machine Bubbler Stem]] and the original version of [[The Inspirator]].

This particular model of [[the Inspirator]] utilizes a removable heating element to enable [[spice]] to be loaded into the top-side of the bowl, preventing the occurrence of run-off or drip. The position of the element in relation to the plug also helps prevent overheating or burning by conduction, while the element itself serves to protect from exposure to the flame.

|[[Image:Element shell.jpg|thumb|left|100px|The Shell of the Heating Element]]
|
====== Constructing the Heating Element ======
'''For the core:'''
# Place ceramic fiber onto a screen.
#* If ceramic fiber is not available or desired, two screens may be rolled together to compensate for the volume.
# Fold the screen to clasp the fiber.
# Begin to roll the screen by folding an end.
# Roll the screen tightly.
'''For the shell:'''
# Firmly hold the tip of a chopstick in the middle of the screen.
# Bend the sides up around the tip.
# Bend the ends ups while holding the sides in place to cradle the tip of the chopstick.
# Place the core in the shell to create the element.
#* Note that it may be necessary to place a small amount of ceramic fiber in the bottom of the shell, under the core, to achive a large enough element that it won't slip into the bowl when in use. Use discretion; it can always be re-worked.

[[Image:Element.JPG|thumb|right|250px|The finished heating element]]
[[Image:Inspirator_core-forge.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Condensing the element in an eraser cap w/ the end bored out.]]
'''Final Touches:'''
To form the Element into a single unit that will fit snugly into the the bowl, use a tube of the same diameter as the dropper stem to be used and two chopsticks to press it into shape. A broken dropper stem is pictured, but something sturdier and less hazardous would be ideal--like a pen tube or pipe. The element could also be rolled around between fingertips to help reduce the springiness it may have when attempting to insert into the end of the bowl or dropper stem. It should fit snugly without slipping in or springing out.

When in place, the element will permit air passage through and around itself, into the bowl, and since the element itself will absorb the heat application of the torch, it will in turn heat the air flow while protecting the contents of the bowl from the flame.

<small>{{ShowInfo/In Article|[[Image:Information.png]]|'''Variations in Design'''|As ceramic fiber may not be readily available, it may be omitted and replaced with a second screen rolled up for the core for the "'''Night Elf'''" variation in technique and design, vice the "'''Spiceliner'''" variation which utilizes ceramic fiber.

[[Image:Inspirator PlugElement.JPG|thumb|right|250px|Placement of the the plug and the element in the dropper stem.]]
====== Constructing the Bowl ======
The plug for the bowl may be constructed in much the same manner as the heating element, but without the ceramic, rolling two screens together for the core instead. The plug should be inserted, shell first, into the stem a centimeter or so from the opening to provide space to load the vaporizing agent and protect it from overheating by keeping distance from the element. The plug will provide a bottom for the bowl, into which the agent may be melted and prepped for inspiration.

Gaskets are then installed using the sort commonly found for use in plumbing, or else made from rolled up sections latex tubing. The gaskets must serve two purposes: A cool grip for carbing (if using pull-stem) or general handling and most importantly, a seal for the bubbler. These will be removed along with the element when in storage if using a dropper bottle as recommended, so a separate container for those would be ideal.

====== Going Further for [[Changa]] and Enhanced Versatility ======

[[Image:Inspirator Tip-clip.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Crushing the tip with pliers.]]

[[Image:Inspirator plunging-down.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Plunging down.]]
[[Image:Inspirator plunging-up.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Plunging back up into place.]]
'''Clipping the Tip:'''
A very simple process, but be safe and take the appropriate protective measures! Over a garbage can, sink or what have you, grab the tip of the dropper firmly with pliers. Apply slow, steady pressure until the tip shatters. Pieces of glass will tend to fly out a ways, so shield eyes, sweep, wipe surfaces with a damp paper towel or whatever needs to be done to protect oneself and others from debris. Wash debris from the piece with running water.

[[Image:Inspirator melted-tip.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Final product after melting the tip.]]
'''Melting the Edges:'''
There will be sharp edges and cracks where the piece was broken, so melting will be necessary to ensure the safety and integrity of the piece.
# Suspend the tube as deemed fit to avoid burning oneself.
# With a butane torch, apply the flame right to the end where there are sharp jagged edges and cracks.
# The glass will glow red, cracks will seal, and edges will round off.
# The hole will likely close a bit, so if necessary, push a metal rod through while heating.
#* ''This end must be accessible in order to position the plug wherever needed.''

'''Advantage and Exploitation of Accessibility:'''
The only way to properly vaporize--avoiding combustion or overheating--from changa, enhanced leaf, a leaf-bed or even straight spice, for that matter, is to position the plug so that the material to be vaporized is a safe distance from the heating element. Volatiles (pure actives, typically) should usually be at least 0.5cm, while combustibles (enhanced leaf or some impure actives) should be positioned more than 1cm from the heating element. In some cases, drippage or runoff may occur; in such cases, it can be retrieved by simply plunging the plug all the way down to the tip, then back up into place.

[[Image:Inspirator set.JPG|thumb|right|200px]]
===== Effective Use and Maintenance =====
'''Storage, preservation, and cleaning:'''
:# Fill a dropper bottle with [[IPA]].
:# Install the dropper stem as per normal and pipette the IPA repeatedly.
:# Fill the stem before sealing away for storage.
* '''Before use''', the pipetting process may be repeated, followed by a '''rinse with running water''' and blow drying the piece by mouth.
* While proper use with a pure product will yield very little to clean, repeated use may result in precipitation beyond the plug.

'''Heat application and inspiration:'''
:# Load the agent all the way down to the plug.
:#* ''Optionally, feather the glass around the plug with a torch lightly to melt the agent into the plug.''
:# Place the element snugly into the open end of the bowl.
:# Apply flame '''only''' while inhaling, applying enough to cause the element to glow, and applying frequently enough to attain constant vapor production.
:#* ''''Prolonged application of the flame to the heating element may result in cracking of the glass, as well as general overheating in some cases. To avoid this, feather along the tip in a tight circular motion removing the flame periodically, gauging the effectiveness by repeatedly quickly pulling the carb. The element may eventually take on enough heat to continue producing vapor without the flame.''''
:#* For the "'''Spiceliner'''" variation, using ceramic fiber, the flame may come into contact with the heating element and at any angle with little trouble.
:#* For the "'''Night Elf'''" variation, using only steel screens, direct heating in line with the bowl should be avoided, and direct contact with the heating element and the torch should not be made.
{{ShowInfo/In Article|[[Image:Information.png]]|'''Note on Dosage'''|30-40mg spice should be sufficient for a breakthrough if accomplished in a single toke. The level of effects attained at this dosage is adequate for gauging the effectiveness of technique.

'''Tips and Tricks:'''
:* Keep a kit of spare parts and extra devices handy: Not only is it quite possible to break a device or lose any of the smaller parts of this design, but it would be handy to have multiples for guests.
:* Besides storing the device in a dropper bottle, the dropper bulb could be used as cap to seal the end of the piece, containing the heat element as well as possibly any loose contents.
:* The Inspirator may also be used without a bubbler for portability, stealth, and resource considerations.

To form the Element into a single unit that will fit snugly into the the bowl, use a tube of the same diameter as the dropper stem to be used and two chopsticks to press it into shape. A broken dropper stem is pictured, but something sturdier and less hazardous would be ideal--like a pen tube or pipe. The element could also be rolled around between fingertips to help reduce the springiness it may have when attempting to insert into the end of the bowl or dropper stem. It should fit snugly without slipping in or springing out.

When in place, the element will permit air passage through and around itself, into the bowl, and since the element itself will absorb the heat application of the torch, it will in turn heat the air flow while protecting the contents of the bowl from the flame.

====== Constructing the Bowl ======
The plug for the bowl may be constructed in much the same manner as the heating element, but without the ceramic, rolling two screens together for the core instead. The plug should be inserted, shell first, into the stem a centimeter or so from the opening to provide space to load the vaporizing agent and protect it from overheating by keeping distance from the element. The plug will provide a bottom for the bowl, into which the agent may be melted and prepped for inspiration.

Gaskets are then installed using the sort commonly found for use in plumbing, or else made from rolled up sections latex tubing. The gaskets must serve two purposes: A cool grip for carbing (if using pull-stem) or general handling and most importantly, a seal for the bubbler. These will be removed along with the element when in storage if using a dropper bottle as recommended, so a separate container for those would be ideal.

'''Clipping the Tip:'''
A very simple process, but be safe and take the appropriate protective measures! Over a garbage can, sink or what have you, grab the tip of the dropper firmly with pliers. Apply slow, steady pressure until the tip shatters. Pieces of glass will tend to fly out a ways, so shield eyes, sweep, wipe surfaces with a damp paper towel or whatever needs to be done to protect oneself and others from debris. Wash debris from the piece with running water.

[[Image:Inspirator melted-tip.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Final product after melting the tip.]]
'''Melting the Edges:'''
There will be sharp edges and cracks where the piece was broken, so melting will be necessary to ensure the safety and integrity of the piece.
# Suspend the tube as deemed fit to avoid burning oneself.
# With a butane torch, apply the flame right to the end where there are sharp jagged edges and cracks.
# The glass will glow red, cracks will seal, and edges will round off.
# The hole will likely close a bit, so if necessary, push a metal rod through while heating.
#* ''This end must be accessible in order to position the plug wherever needed.''

'''Advantage and Exploitation of Accessibility:'''
The only way to properly vaporize--avoiding combustion or overheating--from changa, enhanced leaf, a leaf-bed or even straight spice, for that matter, is to position the plug so that the material to be vaporized is a safe distance from the heating element. Volatiles (pure actives, typically) should usually be at least 0.5cm, while combustibles (enhanced leaf or some impure actives) should be positioned more than 1cm from the heating element. In some cases, drippage or runoff may occur; in such cases, it can be retrieved by simply plunging the plug all the way down to the tip, then back up into place.

'''Tips and Tricks:'''
:* Keep a kit of spare parts and extra devices handy: Not only is it quite possible to break a device or lose any of the smaller parts of this design, but it would be handy to have multiples for guests.
:* Besides storing the device in a dropper bottle, the dropper bulb could be used as cap to seal the end of the piece, containing the heat element as well as possibly any loose contents.
:* The Inspirator may also be used without a bubbler for portability, stealth, and resource considerations.

[[The Inspirator mkII]] is considered by its designer to be the criterion of efficiency for vaporizing [[spice]], and to be a cheap and effective method of achieving sufficiently cool, full, measured doses. The device is inspired in part by [[The Machine]] but operates by convection heating--diffusing the heat through a ceramic heat-sink, in turn heating the airflow--rather than heating by conduction. This design was the final evolution of [[The Mini-Machine Bubbler Stem]] and the original version of [[The Inspirator]].

This particular model of [[the Inspirator]] utilizes a removable heating element to enable [[spice]] to be loaded into the top-side of the bowl, preventing the occurrence of run-off or drip. The position of the element in relation to the plug also helps prevent overheating or burning by conduction, while the element itself serves to protect from exposure to the flame.

'''Tips and Tricks:'''
:* Keep a kit of spare parts and extra devices handy: Not only is it quite possible to break a device or lose any of the smaller parts of this design, but it would be handy to have multiples for guests.
:* Besides storing the device in a dropper bottle, the dropper bulb could be used as cap to seal the end of the piece, containing the heat element as well as possibly any loose contents.
:* The Inspirator may also be used without a bubbler for portability, stealth, and resource considerations.

Spice

2011-11-28T00:17:12Z

Amor fati: fixed grammar

"Spice" is a term most commonly used as a nickname for [[N,N-DMT]], but has developed most accurately as a term for an impure extract of its related alkaloids. Though "[[Jungle Spice]]" most commonly and provisionally refers to the alkaloid profile of [[Jurema]], it is most accurately referring to all alkaloids apart from DMT or an extract comprised--to a significant degree--of those alkaloids. 'Spice' often refers to an extract from other [[DMT Containing Plants]] of varying degrees of range in alkaloid profile.

It should '''NOT''' be confused with Pep-Spice(sometimes shortened to Spice) which refers to K2, a synthetic version of marijuana.

[[The Inspirator mkII]] is considered by its designer to be the criterion of efficiency for vaporizing [[spice]], and to be a cheap and effective method of achieving sufficiently cool, full, measured doses. The device is inspired in part by [[The Machine]] but operates by convection heating--diffusing the heat through a ceramic heat-sink, in turn heating the airflow--rather than heating by conduction. This design was the final evolution of [[The Mini-Machine Bubbler Stem]] and the original version of [[The Inspirator]].

This particular model of [[the Inspirator]] utilizes a removable heating element to enable [[spice]] to be loaded into the top-side of the bowl, preventing the occurrence of run-off or drip. The position of the element in relation to the plug also helps prevent overheating or burning by conduction, while the element itself serves to protect from exposure to the flame.

====== Constructing the Heating Element ======
'''For the core:'''
# Place ceramic fiber onto a screen.
#* If ceramic fiber is not available or desired, two screens may be rolled together to compensate for the volume.
# Fold the screen to clasp the fiber.
# Begin to roll the screen by folding an end.
# Roll the screen tightly.
'''For the shell:'''
# Firmly hold the tip of a chopstick in the middle of the screen.
# Bend the sides up around the tip.
# Bend the ends ups while holding the sides in place to cradle the tip of the chopstick.
# Place the core in the shell to create the element.
#* Note that it may be necessary to place a small amount of ceramic fiber in the bottom of the shell, under the core, to achive a large enough element that it won't slip into the bowl when in use. Use discretion; it can always be re-worked.

[[Image:Inspirator_core-forge.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Condensing the element in an eraser cap w/ the end bored out.]]
'''Final Touches:'''
To form the Element into a single unit that will fit snugly into the the bowl, use a tube of the same diameter as the dropper stem to be used and two chopsticks to press it into shape. A broken dropper stem is pictured, but something sturdier and less hazardous would be ideal--like a pen tube or pipe. The element could also be rolled around between fingertips to help reduce the springiness it may have when attempting to insert into the end of the bowl or dropper stem. It should fit snugly without slipping in or springing out.

When in place, the element will permit air passage through and around itself, into the bowl, and since the element itself will absorb the heat application of the torch, it will in turn heat the air flow while protecting the contents of the bowl from the flame.

[[Image:Inspirator PlugElement.JPG|thumb|right|250px|Placement of the the plug and the element in the dropper stem.]]
====== Constructing the Bowl ======
The plug for the bowl may be constructed in much the same manner as the heating element, but without the ceramic, rolling two screens together for the core instead. The plug should be inserted, shell first, into the stem a centimeter or so from the opening to provide space to load the vaporizing agent and protect it from overheating by keeping distance from the element. The plug will provide a bottom for the bowl, into which the agent may be melted and prepped for inspiration.

Gaskets are then installed using the sort commonly found for use in plumbing, or else made from rolled up sections latex tubing. The gaskets must serve two purposes: A cool grip for carbing (if using pull-stem) or general handling and most importantly, a seal for the bubbler. These will be removed along with the element when in storage if using a dropper bottle as recommended, so a separate container for those would be ideal.

====== Going Further for [[Changa]] and Enhanced Versatility ======

[[Image:Inspirator plunging-down.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Plunging down.]]
[[Image:Inspirator plunging-up.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Plunging back up into place.]]
'''Clipping the Tip:'''
A very simple process, but be safe and take the appropriate protective measures! Over a garbage can, sink or what have you, grab the tip of the dropper firmly with pliers. Apply slow, steady pressure until the tip shatters. Pieces of glass will tend to fly out a ways, so shield eyes, sweep, wipe surfaces with a damp paper towel or whatever needs to be done to protect oneself and others from debris. Wash debris from the piece with running water.

[[Image:Inspirator melted-tip.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Final product after melting the tip.]]
'''Melting the Edges:'''
There will be sharp edges and cracks where the piece was broken, so melting will be necessary to ensure the safety and integrity of the piece.
# Suspend the tube as deemed fit to avoid burning oneself.
# With a butane torch, apply the flame right to the end where there are sharp jagged edges and cracks.
# The glass will glow red, cracks will seal, and edges will round off.
# The hole will likely close a bit, so if necessary, push a metal rod through while heating.
#* ''This end must be accessible in order to position the plug wherever needed.''

'''Advantage and Exploitation of Accessibility:'''
The only way to properly vaporize--avoiding combustion or overheating--from changa, enhanced leaf, a leaf-bed or even straight spice, for that matter, is to position the plug so that the material to be vaporized is a safe distance from the heating element. Volatiles (pure actives, typically) should usually be at least 0.5cm, while combustibles (enhanced leaf or some impure actives) should be positioned more than 1cm from the heating element. In some cases, drippage or runoff may occur; in such cases, it can be retrieved by simply plunging the plug all the way down to the tip, then back up into place.

===== Effective Use and Maintenance =====
'''Storage, preservation, and cleaning:'''
:# Fill a dropper bottle with [[IPA]].
:# Install the dropper stem as per normal and pipette the IPA repeatedly.
:# Fill the stem before sealing away for storage.
* '''Before use''', the pipetting process may be repeated, followed by a '''rinse with running water''' and blow drying the piece by mouth.
* While proper use with a pure product will yield very little to clean, repeated use may result in precipitation beyond the plug.

'''Heat application and inspiration:'''
:# Load the agent all the way down to the plug.
:#* ''Optionally, feather the glass around the plug with a torch lightly to melt the agent into the plug.''
:# Place the element snugly into the open end of the bowl.
:# Apply flame '''only''' while inhaling, applying enough to cause the element to glow, and applying frequently enough to attain constant vapor production.
:#* ''''Prolonged application of the flame to the heating element may result in cracking of the glass, as well as general overheating in some cases. To avoid this, feather along the tip in a tight circular motion removing the flame periodically, gauging the effectiveness by repeatedly quickly pulling the carb. The element may eventually take on enough heat to continue producing vapor without the flame.''''
:#* For the "'''Spiceliner'''" variation, using ceramic fiber, the flame may come into contact with the heating element and at any angle with little trouble.
:#* For the "'''Night Elf'''" variation, using only steel screens, direct heating in line with the bowl should be avoided, and direct contact with the heating element and the torch should not be made.

Amor fati's Approach to Freebase Spice Conversion

2011-04-12T03:12:15Z

Amor fati: /* Drytek Conversion */

<noinclude>{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This page tracks the development of amor_fati's Approach to Freebase Conversion of DMT<ref>amor_fati's Approach to Freebase Conversion of DMT[http://dmt-nexus.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=8661]</ref>. The content is to remain accurate as such.}}</noinclude>

Though relatively simple, the conversion of DMT fumarate to freebase tends to pose some difficulties for achieving a pure and well crystallized product. Decanting from material containing magnesium sulfate powder will often carry particulates that are not easily filtered. Evaporation can take an excessive amount of time to achieve a solid product and often doesn't result in a very solid product. These techniques are intended to remedy such problems.

Amor fati's Compendium for the Extraction of Jurema

{{Tek Header|<ref>Tek Proposal[https://www.dmt-nexus.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&m=213671#post213671]</ref><ref>[https://www.dmt-nexus.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=19337 Veggie Oil Extraction Log]</ref>}}
{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This page is a work in progress -- its content throughout is not yet complete.}}

The extraction of [[DMT]] and its analogous mixtures, deemed [[spice]], has long been a cornerstone of modern psychonautical and entheogenic practice. In particular, extraction from the high-yielding, low fat root bark of [[Mimosa tenuiflora]]--or [[MHRB]], otherwise known as [[Jurema]]--has played a most pivotal role in providing an abundant and reliable source to further the development of various means of rendering and administering [[spice]]. Though the bulk of the history regarding this development has unfortunately hinged on the use of hazardous or otherwise unwholesome chemicals common to the production of less savory substances, recent years prior to the authorship of this tek have seen a boom in less toxic, nontoxic and even food grade methods of extraction among other faculties of refinery--many with an astounding capacity for efficiency.

It is the goal of this tek not to simply shed the use of toxic chemicals; rather, the tek seeks to comprehensively illustrate a modern and efficient means of extraction that doesn't require one to go too far out of one's way or bog down one's extraction experience unnecessarily by requiring a hodgepodge of questionable chemicals for which the operator may not ever have any real use for in one's household. If one considers the possibilities of entering the world of entheogenic extraction with a fresh mindset, devoid of the expectation that hazardous chemicals are necessary to that process, the prospect of using such chemicals would hardly be an attractive one and more ready-at-hand materials may be considered.

In this tek, we will explore the implementation of [[Limtek]] as alternative to traditionally high volume water-intensive A/B teks that notoriously require at least a hazardous base like [[lye]]. Then we will consider the use of various alternative solvents, typically comprising oils like limonene or various types of vegetable oil, as alternatives to odorous and hazardous petroleum based solvents. Finally, we will explore various means of obtaining a administrable extract, whether by salting with food grade acids, or by going a step further to obtain freebase--a process hinging on various manner of implementing of sodium carbonate. More toxic materials like [[IPA]] or [[Heptane]] may come into play, depending on the route chosen, but one may find even those staples of the extraction community unnecessary with a bit of skillful application.

===== '''Suggested Methods of Administration''' =====
Typically, once completing an extraction, the operator may wish to bioassay the product to ensure the quality of product achieved in order to gauge the methods utilized, so having supplies on hand to facilitate such experimentation is essential to the operator's repertoire. To familiarize the reader with cheap and effective methods of pursuing such experimentation the following has been included:
[[Image:The Inspirator mkII.JPG|thumb|right|150px]]
[[The Inspirator mkII]] ->
''An improvised convection heated vaporizer for administration of freebase product by inspiration.''
* Convection heating is considerably the most esteemed method of vaporization, producing a cool vapor while typically protecting the product from overheating or burning from exposure to flame or by conduction.
* A bubbler is also recommended for helping to maintain a consistently cool vapor.
[[Juremala]] ->
''A method of potentiation for altering and in some ways maximizing the effects of a jurema extract, facilitating a broader set of options for administration.''
* While a multitude of methods exist for the same purposes, the method outlined seeks to maximize the potency of the substances in use.
* [[Harmaloids]], while typically components of traditional entheogenic brews, need not be swallowed as in the traditional manner to catalyze the effects of such in potentiation of [[spice]], which likewise, need not be swallowed.
* Absorption of substances by the oral mucosa localizes them in closer proximity to the brain and forgoes the inconsistencies of the digestive tract, ensuring the effects ascribed to the dosage administered.

[[The Inspirator mkII]] is considered by its designer to be the criterion of efficiency for vaporizing [[spice]], and to be a cheap and effective method of achieving sufficiently cool, full, measured doses. The device is inspired in part by [[The Machine]] but operates by convection heating--diffusing the heat through a ceramic heat-sink, in turn heating the airflow--rather than heating by conduction. This design was the final evolution of [[The Mini-Machine Bubbler Stem]] and the original version of [[The Inspirator]].

This particular model of [[the Inspirator]] utilizes a removable heating element to enable [[spice]] to be loaded into the top-side of the bowl, preventing the occurrence of run-off or drip. The position of the element in relation to the plug also helps prevent overheating or burning by convection, while the element itself serves to protect from exposure to the flame.

===== Procedure for Construction =====
{{ShowInfo/In Article|[[Image:Information.png]]|'''Safety Note'''|Always preheat screens or other metal materials to be heated directly with a torch before use so as to ensure any potentially hazardous coatings have been burned off if present.

|[[Image:Element 1.jpg|thumb|left|100px|The Core of the Heating Element]]
|[[Image:Element shell.jpg|thumb|left|100px|The Shell of the Heating Element]]
|
====== Constructing the Heating Element ======
'''For the core:'''
# Place ceramic fiber onto a screen.
#* If ceramic fiber is not available or desired, two screens may be rolled together to compensate for the volume.
# Fold the screen to clasp the fiber.
# Begin to roll the screen by folding an end.
# Roll the screen tightly.
'''For the shell:'''
# Firmly hold the tip of a chopstick in the middle of the screen.
# Bend the sides up around the tip.
# Bend the ends ups while holding the sides in place to cradle the tip of the chopstick.
# Place the core in the shell to create the element.
#* Note that it may be necessary to place a small amount of ceramic fiber in the bottom of the shell, under the core, to achive a large enough element that it won't slip into the bowl when in use. Use discretion; it can always be re-worked.
|}
|}
[[Image:Element condensing.JPG|thumb|left|250px|Condensing the element in a broken dropper stem.]]
[[Image:Element.JPG|thumb|right|250px|The finished heating element]]
'''Final Touches:'''
To form the Element into a single unit that will fit snugly into the the bowl, use a tube of the same diameter as the dropper stem to be used and two chopsticks to press it into shape. A broken dropper stem is pictured, but something sturdier and less hazardous would be ideal--like a pen tube or pipe. The element could also be rolled around between fingertips to help reduce the springiness it may have when attempting to insert into the end of the bowl or dropper stem. It should fit snugly without slipping in or springing out.

When in place, the element will permit air passage through and around itself, into the bowl, and since the element itself will absorb the heat application of the torch, it will in turn heat the air flow while protecting the contents of the bowl from the flame.

<small>{{ShowInfo/In Article|[[Image:Information.png]]|'''Variations in Design'''|As ceramic fiber may not be readily available, it may be omitted and replaced with a second screen rolled up for the core for the "'''Night Elf'''" variation in technique and design, vice the "'''Spiceliner'''" variation which utilizes ceramic fiber.

[[Image:Inspirator set.JPG|thumb|right|250px|Inspirator, removed element, and dropper bottle with IPA for storage, cleaning and preservation.]]
====== Constructing the Bowl ======
The plug for the bowl may be constructed in much the same manner as the heating element, but without the ceramic, rolling two screens together for the core instead. The plug should be inserted, shell first, into the stem a centimeter or so from the opening to provide space to load the vaporizing agent and protect it from overheating by keeping distance from the element. The plug will provide a bottom for the bowl, into which the agent may be melted and prepped for inspiration.

Gaskets are then installed using the sort commonly found for use in plumbing, or else made from rolled up sections latex tubing. The gaskets must serve two purposes: A cool grip for carbing (if using pull-stem) and most importantly, a seal for the bubbler. These will be removed along with the element when in storage if using a dropper bottle as recommended, so a separate container for those would be ideal.

----
===== Effective Use and Maintenance =====
Storage, preservation, and cleaning:
:# Fill a dropper bottle with [[IPA]].
:# Install the dropper stem as per normal and pipette the IPA repeatedly.
:# Fill the stem before sealing away for storage.
* Before use, the pipetting process may be repeated, followed by a rinse with preferably warm water and blow drying the piece by mouth.
* While proper use will yield very little to clean, repeated use may result in precipitation beyond the plug.

Heat application and inspiration:
:# Load the agent all the way down to the plug.
:# Feather the glass around the plug with a torch lightly to melt the agent into the plug.
:# Place the element snugly into the open end of the bowl.
:# Apply flame '''only''' while inhaling, applying enough to cause the element to glow, and applying frequently enough to attain constant vapor production.
:#* For the "'''Spiceliner'''" variation, using ceramic fiber, the flame may come into contact with the heating element and at any angle with little trouble.
:#* For the "'''Night Elf'''" variation, using only steel screens, avoidance of more direct heating, in line with the bowl, should be avoided, and direct contact with the heating element and the torch should not be made.
* 30-40mg spice should be sufficient for a breakthrough if accomplished in a single toke.

{{Tek Header|<ref>Tek Proposal[https://www.dmt-nexus.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&m=213671#post213671]</ref>}}
{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This page is a work in progress -- its content throughout is not yet complete.}}

The extraction of [[DMT]] and its analogous mixtures, deemed [[spice]], has long been a cornerstone of modern psychonautical and entheogenic practice. In particular, extraction from the high-yielding, low fat root bark of [[Mimosa tenuiflora]]--or [[MHRB]], otherwise known as [[Jurema]]--has played a most pivotal role in providing an abundant and reliable source to further the development of various means of rendering and administering [[spice]]. Though the bulk of the history regarding this development has unfortunately hinged on the use of hazardous or otherwise unwholesome chemicals common to the production of less savory substances, recent years prior to the authorship of this tek have seen a boom in less toxic, nontoxic and even food grade methods of extraction among other faculties of refinery--many with an astounding capacity for efficiency.

It is the goal of this tek not to simply shed the use of toxic chemicals; rather, the tek seeks to comprehensively illustrate a modern and efficient means of extraction that doesn't require one to go too far out of one's way or bog down one's extraction experience unnecessarily by requiring a hodgepodge of questionable chemicals for which the operator may not ever have any real use for in one's household. If one considers the possibilities of entering the world of entheogenic extraction with a fresh mindset, devoid of the expectation that hazardous chemicals are necessary to that process, the prospect of using such chemicals would hardly be an attractive one and more ready-at-hand materials may be considered.

In this tek, we will explore the implementation of [[Limtek]] as alternative to traditionally high volume water-intensive A/B teks that notoriously require at least a hazardous base like [[lye]]. Then we will consider the use of various alternative solvents, typically comprising oils like limonene or various types of vegetable oil, as alternatives to odorous and hazardous petroleum based solvents. Finally, we will explore various means of obtaining a administrable extract, whether by salting with food grade acids, or by going a step further to obtain freebase--a process hinging on various manner of implementing of sodium carbonate. More toxic materials like [[IPA]] or [[Heptane]] may come into play, depending on the route chosen, but one may find even those staples of the extraction community unnecessary with a bit of skillful application.

===== '''Suggested Methods of Administration''' =====
Typically, once completing an extraction, the operator may wish to bioassay the product to ensure the quality of product achieved in order to gauge the methods utilized, so having supplies on hand to facilitate such experimentation is essential to the operator's repertoire. To familiarize the reader with cheap and effective methods of pursuing such experimentation the following has been included:
[[Image:The Inspirator mkII.JPG|thumb|right|150px]]
[[The Inspirator mkII]] ->
''An improvised convection heated vaporizer for administration of freebase product by inspiration.''
* Convection heating is considerably the most esteemed method of vaporization, producing a cool vapor while typically protecting the product from overheating or burning from exposure to flame or by conduction.
* A bubbler is also recommended for helping to maintain a consistently cool vapor.
[[Juremala]] ->
''A method of potentiation for altering and in some ways maximizing the effects of a jurema extract, facilitating a broader set of options for administration.''
* While a multitude of methods exist for the same purposes, the method outlined seeks to maximize the potency of the substances in use.
* [[Harmaloids]], while typically components of traditional entheogenic brews, need not be swallowed as in the traditional manner to catalyze the effects of such in potentiation of [[spice]], which likewise, need not be swallowed.
* Absorption of substances by the oral mucosa localizes them in closer proximity to the brain and forgoes the inconsistencies of the digestive tract, ensuring the effects ascribed to the dosage administered.

:* Freezing will also enable the nonpolar layer to be decanted from the frozen polar layer, which can then be rinse with a more viscous nonpolar or less polar solvent like [[limonene]] or [[IPA]] (separately or together in sequence) to help remove residual oil.
:* Gelling may occur with vegetable oil, in which case shaking and/or squeezing the salting container may be employed to remove the gel from the frozen solid polar layer.
:* If residual oil remains, a separatory device may aid in preventing any from contaminating the end product, though contamination may be removed from the solid salted product at such a stage if necessary.
: Alternatively, a separatory funnel, culinary separator, or pipette may be employed in conjunction with emulsion breaking techniques.

{{ShowInfo|[[Image:Note_error.png]]|'''Note:'''|This page is a work in progress -- its content throughout is not yet complete.}}

The extraction of [[DMT]] and its analogous mixtures, deemed [[spice]], has long been a cornerstone of modern psychonautical and entheogenic practice. In particular, extraction from the high-yielding, low fat root bark of [[Mimosa tenuiflora]]--or [[MHRB]], otherwise known as [[Jurema]]--has played a most pivotal role in providing an abundant and reliable source to further the development of various means of rendering and administering [[spice]]. Though the bulk of the history regarding this development has unfortunately hinged on the use of hazardous or otherwise unwholesome chemicals common to the production of less savory substances, recent years prior to the authorship of this tek have seen a boom in less toxic, nontoxic and even food grade methods of extraction among other faculties of refinery--many with an astounding capacity for efficiency.

It is the goal of this tek not to simply shed the use of toxic chemicals; rather, the tek seeks to comprehensively illustrate a modern and efficient means of extraction that doesn't require one to go too far out of one's way or bog down one's extraction experience unnecessarily by requiring a hodgepodge of questionable chemicals for which the operator may not ever have any real use for in one's household. If one considers the possibilities of entering the world of entheogenic extraction with a fresh mindset, devoid of the expectation that hazardous chemicals are necessary to that process, the prospect of using such chemicals would hardly be an attractive one and more ready-at-hand materials may be considered.

In this tek, we will explore the implementation of [[Limtek]] as alternative to traditionally high volume water-intensive A/B teks that notoriously require at least a hazardous base like [[lye]]. Then we will consider the use of various alternative solvents, typically comprising oils like limonene or various types of vegetable oil, as alternatives to odorous and hazardous petroleum based solvents. Finally, we will explore various means of obtaining a administrable extract, whether by salting with food grade acids, or by going a step further to obtain freebase--a process hinging on various manner of implementing of sodium carbonate. More toxic materials like [[IPA]] or [[Heptane]] may come into play, depending on the route chosen, but one may find even those staples of the extraction community unnecessary with a bit of skillful application.

# Thoroughly moisten pulverized or powdered MHRB with vinegar by stirring or blending in a mason jar.
# Heat the contents by partially submerging the jar in a hot water bath while stirring frequently for aprx. an hour.
# Continue heating and add lime and water, stirring continuously to ensure an even mixture, adding only enough water to render a doughy mixture.

'''[[NPS]] Flush:'''
# Add enough [[NPS]] of choice to contents of jar so that the mixture is completely submerged, and continue to heat and stir to satisfaction.
# Decant [[NPS]] into [[THP]] to filter and collect in a clean and empty mason jar.
'''Salting:'''
# Combine [[NPS]] with a proportionally larger volume of dilute acid in a jug and shake vigorously.
#* Either aprx. 200mL FASW containing at least. 1g fumaric acid or ~5:1 water with vinegar.
# Allow to settle and collect the polar layer for evaporation, recycling [[NPS]] for re-use.
# Repeat [[NPS]] wash and salting process at least twice before pouring the entire content of the jar into [[THP]], allowing residual solvent to drain for collection.
'''Separatory Methods'''
: For most purposes, freezing the nonpolar/polar mixture after a thorough, vigorous salting will bring about a complete separation without the trouble of breaking emulsions.
:* Freezing will also enable the nonpolar layer to be decanted from the frozen polar layer, which can then be rinse with a more viscous nonpolar or less polar solvent like [[limonene]] or [[IPA]] (separately or together in sequence) to help remove residual oil.
:* Gelling may occur with vegetable oil, in which case shaking and/or squeezing the salting container may be employed to remove the gel from the frozen solid polar layer.
:* If residual oil remains, a separatory device may aid in preventing any from contaminating the end product, though contamination may be removed from the solid salted product at such a stage if necessary.
: Alternatively, a separatory funnel, culinary separator, or pipette may be employed in conjunction with emulsion breaking techniques.

Amor fati's Compendium for the Extraction of Jurema

Amor fati: More captions

{{Tek Header|<ref>Tek Proposal[https://www.dmt-nexus.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&m=213671#post213671]</ref>}}

The extraction of [[DMT]] and its analogous mixtures, deemed [[spice]], has long been a cornerstone of modern psychonautical and entheogenic practice. In particular, extraction from the high-yielding, low fat root bark of [[Mimosa tenuiflora]]--or [[MHRB]], otherwise known as [[Jurema]]--has played a most pivotal role in providing an abundant and reliable source to further the development of various means of rendering and administering [[spice]]. Though the bulk of the history regarding this development has unfortunately hinged on the use of hazardous or otherwise unwholesome chemicals common to the production of less savory substances, recent years prior to the authorship of this tek have seen a boom in less toxic, nontoxic and even food grade methods of extraction among other faculties of refinery--many with an astounding capacity for efficiency.

It is the goal of this tek not to simply shed the use of toxic chemicals; rather, the tek seeks to comprehensively illustrate a modern and efficient means of extraction that doesn't require one to go too far out of one's way or bog down one's extraction experience unnecessarily by requiring a hodgepodge of questionable chemicals for which the operator may not ever have any real use for in one's household. If one considers the possibilities of entering the world of entheogenic extraction with a fresh mindset, devoid of the expectation that hazardous chemicals are necessary to that process, the prospect of using such chemicals would hardly be an attractive one and more ready-at-hand materials may be considered.

In this tek, we will explore the implementation of [[Limtek]] as alternative to traditionally high volume water-intensive A/B teks that notoriously require at least a hazardous base like [[lye]]. Then we will consider the use of various alternative solvents, typically comprising oils like limonene or various types of vegetable oil, as alternatives to odorous and hazardous petroleum based solvents. Finally, we will explore various means of obtaining a administrable extract, whether by salting with food grade acids, or by going a step further to obtain freebase--a process hinging on various manner of implementing of sodium carbonate. More toxic materials like [[IPA]] or [[Heptane]] may come into play, depending on the route chosen, but one may find even those staples of the extraction community unnecessary with a bit of skillful application.

A practicing philosopher and multi-media artist interested in psychonautica as a means of personal enhancement. Seeking to spiritualize the world as a thoroughly material phenomenon and rejecting all otherworldly impulses, he approaches psychedelia as an earthly endeavor for the augmentation of will as born of flesh. He embraces all that invigorates, inspires engagement, and promotes vitality. He bears a moniker meaning, "love fate."
