Well i am not sure of that.but i guess you should stick to the existing method. it will prove great..trying new things may result in sore results.

maybe later on when you have nearly perfected dmt you could try using it and post if we could?

I had the same problem. I thought about using another compound other than the carbonate. I m studying chemistry atm and theoretically it doesn t make a difference. The only purpose for the carbonate is so that it washes the residual lye sticking to the dmt after freeze precipitation. The carbonate, forms an ionic/polar solution in water. thus the residual NaOH(being ionic it is only soluble in polar solutions) migrates to the carbonate solution and fres itself from the dmt. it doesn't matter whether its a carbonate or a bicarbonate, as long as it is soluble in water and forms an polar solution. have a good day

bettery try to go for some other compound as sodium bicarbonate is not the ideal one for you to use anymore. it may worsten the situation so better to avoid this immediately..

maybe...

It wont pull as much apparently according to some chaps on dmt nexus. Still it sounds safer than contaminating your end product with lye NaoH. SWIM has used soda ash, like a pool ph increaser, it fizzes for a while when u put it in so beware if glass jars etc.

 

[Dr. Dimitri]

smoking lye contamination will cause damage while soda ash bicarbonate only cause irritation
