Q21Q21's Vinegar/Lime A/B Extraction Tek

Note:

This page is a transcription of Q21Q21's Vinegar/Lime A/B *NO LYE/NO FUNNEL/NO FUSS* Tek. The content is to remain accurate as such.

Although SWIM has heard of others doing teks very similar than this and highly doubts any aspect of this tek is "new"... he felt like putting it together with pics and detailed info into a tek, which required a name and thus put his.

Materials Required
Source Material: 100g (more or less as you choose) Mimosa Hostilis root bark (MHRB)
Solvents: Water Naptha petroleum (VM+P Naptha, Ronsonol Fuel)
Reagents/Desiccants: Vinegar acetic acid Lime Ca(OH)2
Equipment: Double boiler or two identical popcorn-sized bowls (that won't be dissolved by naptha, most won't) Electric Kettle or stove w/ pot (kettle is best) 1 to 3 baking pans, shot glasses, or wide mouth containers for freezer precipitation Freezer Electric blender (unless you buy, pre-powdered bark) Useful Tools: 1 or more chopsticks (to stir the gooey bark) 1 pack Playing cards (to hold and transport the crystals) 1 or more razor blades/scrapers (to remove crystals from precipitation container) 1 or more coffee filters (to help make sure no bark is mixed in with the naptha)

The only 2 materials that aren't in 99% of household are:

1: Lime/Pickling Lime/Garden Lime/Cal/Ca(OH)2. It is a powerful base that is actually food safe. Although like anything eating a lot of it will upset your body, but there isn't anything but traces of traces in the final product.

There dose seem to be a large amount of problems obtaining lime though. If it isn't at your local hardware store or ethnic grocery then you may have to look online. SWIM found a few sites that look like they would work. 5lbs (A LOT) for ~$10 plus shipping, ships worldwide 1 lb for $4.47 plus shipping, USA only

If those don't seem to work then googling "pickling lime" would be the next step. SWIM assures you the effort used to get the lime will far pay off with the ease, speed, efficiency AND SAFETY of the tek.

2: Naptha petroleum. A non-polar solvent and the only non-food-safe ingredient, though it's toxicity is quite benign. The LD50 for naptha is stated as 8000-20000mg/Kg while the LD50 for DMT is 60-110mg/Kg. Heck the LD50 for Vitamin A is 1510-2570mg/Kg and Vitamin B is 560mg/Kg.

Plus 2 things: 1. it evaporates cleanly without a trace in a couple hours 2. When burned it produces only WATER and CARBON DIOXIDE, that is why using it as a lighter fuel is safe.

Anyway, it is simply lighter fluid which most house have around, but you need one that doesn't have any nasty additives.

If you are in the US then VM+P Naptha is your choice. If you are in Canada then Ronsonol Lighter Fluid or Escort Camp Fuel are your choices. If you can't find either then buy some lighter fluid test it: 1.Pour a little on a surface (SWIM used blank Cds) 2.Wait an hour or two for it to evaporate. If it smells or looks like anything other than a blank and dry CD then the lighter fluid won't work.
