From what I gathered of that tek, they get around the problem of large surface area separation by only taking 1/2 the naptha off at any time (so the turkey baster doesn't need to that near the naoh/mhrb solution) and freeze precipitating it straight away without any evaporating.
Obviously this is all just theory for me for the moment (hopefully going to get an extract going so I have something special to bring to new years!)

If you want to step it up a notch Google "Loki's DMT Extraction Guide" This is simple but with good results. I really like the brine wash.

Yeah its proabably not as bad as I make it sound... I'm a born pessimist. But I don't like the idea of haveing to use that much naphta and then haveing to evaporate it down to super saturation levels before FP. That stuff is expensive around here.
If you realy have $20 or so to invest in your organic chemistry, look for a litte sepratory funnel on ebay, I guess a 1 litre one would be perfect.

all the water evaporated yesterday and i was left with nice gold xstals today! the smoke (200w lightbulb) was very smooth on the intake. it started to burn in a cool and hot way after holding all the smoke in for several seconds. the hot and cold pressure on my chest started to expand throughout my body as i was exhaling then 
!!!
blazed and chilling now ^^
used about 45g of mhrb with 3 30ml pulls with naptha and got a little less than half a g with the tek anc posted. thanks!

i use a 1500ml ball jar. its seriously god for exstracting d. ive been getting my bark from galactic toad for a long time. always legit. and i just use lye and naphta. i get white dmt *almost every first pull

That is an excellent tip! I can imagine how it would work and make your pulls much easier
Question for you anc - I have my slurry left over from 2 days ago and am looking into xylene extraction to get the rest but I have a small layer of naptha left on top. I was going to pour the slurry into a homemade sep funnel tonight to get the naptha off, but it looks a bit contaminated? It is kinda foggy... is this garbage now from leaving it to sit?

I'd just leave the naphta if its not much and add the xylene, remember its a difirent process than the freeze percip route, you will need dry acetone and sodium carbonate which you can make both yourself, and some food grade fumaric acid powder, a few grams' worth is a lifetime supply. Look up FASA extraction (fumaric acid saturated acetone). There are quite a few steps to the process of which at least one is dry, so contaminants tend to stay behind.

Sure doesnt sound like a great tek if it leaves behind harmful contaminants, lol.

Toxicity
The acute toxicity of hexane is relatively low, although it is a mild anesthetic. Inhalation of high concentrations produces first a state of mild euphoria, followed by somnolence with headaches and nausea.
The long-term toxicity of n-hexane in humans is well known.[6] Extensive peripheral nervous system failure is known to occur in humans chronically exposed to levels of n-hexane ranging from 400 to 600 ppm, with occasional exposures up to 2,500 ppm. The initial symptoms are tingling and cramps in the arms and legs, followed by general muscular weakness. In severe cases, atrophy of the skeletal muscles is observed, along with a loss of coordination and problems of vision. Similar symptoms are observed in animal models. They are associated with a degeneration of the peripheral nervous system (and eventually the central nervous system), starting with the distal portions of the longer and wider nerve axons. The toxicity is not due to hexane itself but to one of its metabolites, hexane-2,5-dione. It is believed that this reacts with the amino group of the side chain of lysine residues in proteins, causing cross-linking and a loss of protein function.
Chronic intoxication from hexane has been observed in recreational solvent abusers and in workers in the shoe manufacturing, furniture restoration and automobile construction industries, and recently, plastic recyclers and assemblers and cleaners of capacitive touch-screen devices[7].
In 1994, n-hexane was included in the list of chemicals on the US Toxic Release Inventory (TRI).[8] In 2001, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued regulations on the control of emissions of hexane gas due to its potential carcinogenic properties and environmental concerns.[9]
In the latter part of the 20th and early part of the 21st centuries, a number of explosions have been attributed to the combustion of hexane gas.[citation needed]
Use in food processing
According to a report by the Cornucopia Institute, hexane is used to extract oil from grains as well as protein from soy, to such an extent that in 2007, grain processors were responsible for more than two-thirds of hexane emissions in the United States.[10] The report also pointed out that the hexane can persist in the final food product created; in a sample of processed soy, the oil contained 10 ppm, the meal 21 ppm and the grits 14 ppm hexane.[10] The adverse health effects seem specific to n-hexane; they are much reduced or absent for other isomers. Therefore, the food oil extraction industry, which relied heavily on hexane, has been considering switching to other solvents, including isohexane.[11][12][13]
Poisoning from touchscreen cleaner
In February 2010, reports surfaced saying that an employee of Wintek Corporation (a company that supplies touchscreen components to technology companies) died in August 2009 due to n-Hexane poisoning. n-Hexane was used as a replacement to alcohol for cleaning screens. The report also revealed that another 49 employees required treatment for n-Hexane poisoning around the same time.[14] This number was later increased to 62.[15] In October 2010, further reports surfaced of another exposure to n-Hexane at a Wintek manufacturing facility located in China. An ABC Foreign Correspondent episode covertly interviewed several women who had been in the hospital for over six months. The women claimed that they were exposed to n-hexane while manufacturing iPhone hardware.[16][17]
