This sure is a pretty major advancement for this process believe me.

Wonder if in a short while there will be these popping up out in the old peruvian and Colombian jungle labs


I like the idea of the atomiser for the kerosene before it hits the acid. This would seriously make the whole extraction process seriously efficient.

So would you think the running time will vary much with bigger runs e.g 20litres/30litres?


Thinking about Coca tea extractions makes swims dog need to go toilet. Hahaha

well done

Sounds  so beautifull that it´s impossible to don´t wanna try it! ::)great job!
  I was looking seriously on much articles about cocaine extraction from leaves  latelly,..and seems ,of course cocaine alkaloid it´s very special,and most important,chemical sensitive,..but .i don´t understand some things,as well:
1). Why it´s still Kerosene  the  reference non polar solvent to extract,?.:i can´t figure out why almost seems not exist any reference of people extracting with toluene,xylene,hexane,...I point  i don´t know at all those particularities about cocaine alkaloid,...but if the cocaine freebase it´s soluble on kerosene ,must be on most common NP solvents....i ask that because saw lot references of people using not very easy to get chemicals on next steps(like diethyl eter,chloroform,...)but seems people still extract the leaves with massive kerosene amounts,....¿it´s that a jungle reminiscence,.. ;)or really its one of the best solvents to extract).I can understand it´s use on ghetto situations, because not controled ,cheap and available solvent ,..but no so much when other cleaner solvents are available .....Important too....allways looking for maximum eficiency with minimal work.. .....if from 1kg Leave flows around something like 5 gr. freebase or so,...¿¿why we need so massive solvent amount to extract??...If the freebase it´s ready on leaves surface,..my stupid common sense tolds me a minimum solvent amount,on 2 extractions.must be enough.....I never seen how bigger are 1 kg coca powder,..but 5 gr. freebase seems really easy solved on 500 ml Xylene on 2 extractions,.....PLEASE NOTICE I´M NEW TO THAT ALKALOID PROPERTIES....so possible i´m claiming no sense things,....
   That questions it´s mostly because seems a good lot work to do on beggining,

B: why it´s still the sodium carbonate the reference base to first basify the leaves to free cocaine freebase,?.:almost like kerosene questions,...¿it´s not easiier  to put the powder leaves on minimal  water and add drop wise not much concentrated Naoh solution until Ph reach something secure as Ph 10...I visualize easily a kitchen mixer pulverizing that mix,breaking all that cells from leaves,in contact with Naoh,..making freebase flow ,... eassier  that only macerate the mix with hands and carbonate,....I suposse more water involved are not good....a litttle more work to the solvent to extract,...i don´t know...and sure filtrate the powder first before extract with solvents ,and then make little wash of the powder....who knows?

C.Other steps sounds normal,...except that crystallization from coca base to hcl on ether and acetone+37 hcl,...If one was looking for yields,...sure add water to cristallization solvent will make suffer yields enough,....so i thnik´ possible that "ideal" crystallization way it´s to get that "classical pear flakes" that only best stuff can shown,....if not...it´s extrange anybody there talks about making some anydrous hcl gas and gas with it the ether,....or simplier disolve the freebase on alcohol,..neutralize with hcl or add equimolar quantities and let evaporate,....Like said,..i talk from   my ignorance here,...if all people seems to follow that ether-hcl 37%hcl system it´s because something,....Or simply the common recipe that works fine and nodoby tried to change much things on it?
  Preference kerosene use as solvent it´s the  one that makes me think that....

Pd:Saw yesterday  a documental about guetto extraction plants on Bolivia,...and ,along those "funny"  things well known ,like  workers rinsing their mouths with the kerosene to taste if the freebase it´s completly extracted,.. ...an image of like one 16 years old boy doing the sulfuric acid solution,...taking with his fingers directly  from the bottle the last black pure sulfuric acid rests and stirring then with his hands the water,..was totally freaking!
   Saddest thing about it,.... those poor people ,working all day on nasty conditions,with more nasty drug police pression,killed often by black mafias to stole his  product,.....making kilos and kilos of the base stuff only to be able  to eat something with luck at the night,..

Fucking hell that brings back some memories.

Think I just nearly shit my pants when I saw them pics.


Ether is the superior solvent for xstallisation. The crystals are amazing. The process itself its great to you can see the reaction taking place and watch your crystals grow. And I'm talking big ass flakes. The best cocaine.


We also used the methanol method with success. The crystals were smaller though and more dusty.

1litre of ether will last for many extractions. Worth buying.

Make sure base is totally dry and cleaned to maximise chances of success. When you mix together and a red oil layer sinks to the bottom start crying and start again.

Ahhh, wondered for a while what it was. Never happened much but a few times it did and it was a pain in the arse to sort out. I guess whenever it oiled out then was the times we were sloppy and high on base most likely. And didn't oxidise. The cocaine is more like speed when done this way. No oxidising results in a weird amphetamine type high almost.


When you try the proper flake though you might not like it for what it really is. Real cocaine is nothing like it is on the streets. It's like gold compared to lead. I found it to be very very strong shit giving you a nice clean and clear high. But people often complained at the highly refined stuff that it didn't get them as fucked up as street coke. Making them understand it was all the other shit in their coke getting them fucked and not actually just the coke was hard work.

I'd love to read a bioassay of the final product (one pertaining to IV use).

A felliw bee hooked me up with a good source for the tea.  My question is, what style of tea is better for extraction?  Powder or otherwise?  The source advertised 900g of powder and then a 0.29kg of tea.  Can anyone with experience answer this?  It's all kinda costly so SWIz doesn't wanna order the wrong thing.  Also, have any US bees ordered the tea?  I haven't read that it's illegal persay, but i'm not sure if coca alkaloids are illegal in the US or not.  I'll do some research, and if anyone wants to answer me then yay!

A 500g batch of powdered leaf was extracted once via the manual percolation technique. It was an almighty pain in the arse. It compacts and doesn't allow the kerosene to perculate through easily. The gains of powdering it and using a different method adds more effort to a simple high yielding system.

Use the leafs just crushes up and not a fine dust and you will have a much easier time.

I had to post about my experience doing that extraction!
 First,if one works with teab bags,call a friend,...or too...because opening the bags it´s absolutly a pain!
  Part about basifying with sodium carbonate it´s easy,...i make the extraction from 1 Kg with a mixture of 1 litre xylene and 1 litre Dcm ,because some accident about solvents,...so the mix was 2 nights with ,i think,not enough stirring because job,..that i think finally impacted yield.
  Since i use that mix of xylene and DCM,that read it´s the most near to cloroform,that´s seems one of the best solvents to extract alkaloids on reference,...i had to let evaporate the dcm first to avoid emulsions on the acid extraction.
   I extracted with hcl solution,because was lazy to handel pure sulfuric,...i think didnñt matters..who knows...Made 3 extractions with 5%hcl with final volume about 100 ml acid.
  Since a was little afraid about how was going,...i went acroos the paste,basifying with sodium carbonate to get incial yields,.and got like 4´5 grams paste,..so i thinked i screweed a little,..but was enough..The paste precipitates as a gummy solid hard to get,so little time on frige make consistency more hard and easy to get,.
  The oxidizing part it´s tricky sure.I started with 1 ml adittions each 5-10 minutes,...and acroos the time,the solution was getting so brown it´s hard to see when oxidation it´s complete.I made like 8-9 adittions,...and seems it´s imporat let solution decant to see if the liquid it´s clear,Mine was,...so on worst ,i oxidize not enough,i doubt,because finall liquid was clear.
  I finally get like 3 grams pure base,...since i didn´t have amonia that moment,had to basify with sodium carbonate solution,so posibly not the best,...but was that way.
  I cristallized one gram base usinng acetone+metanol:hcl(2:1)..following instructions on David Lee Handbook,that are really great.
  Basically 1 gram base disolved on 10 ml acetone,filtered and rinsed until 20 ml volumen,...and measured 0,75 ml of methanol:hcl solution,and added 10 ml acetone.
  2 beaks swirled at same time and movement...and added folowing the funny "critical" way of do the thing.
   Cristallization was slow,and until 3-4 minutes anything happened.Then very tinny crystals stared to fall...looks awsome,..and after some swirling and more,...about 2 hours seemed all fisnished.
  Rinsed with acetone,...made the empanada,...dried....0,75 grams absolutly beatifull iridiscent pearl!.
  I have diethyl ether waiting to use,but i so afraid about it´s risk using it,..that i will stick with acetone.
  Of course,if results are better,who knows.
  I too let evaporate final acetone solution to see if more was into,...because possibly hcl was not enough,because the so slow reaction.
  Buy job done!

Ether is great. Very visual. Instant fizzing reaction then huge crystals forming. Leave for a while and they grow up side of beaker. Its fucking amazing.


Store ether with copper wire it stops peroxides. I found various ways and information for u sassa. I will find and post.

We were very uneducated when we had our ether. It was simply stored in a dark place in an amber bottle. 500ml of it. For good few months. On and off useage. Just always pour from bottle and dont have it open to long. Use a proper atroage bottle as it can creep out. We never had any issues with it just a lot of fun getting high when not using it for xrystalising and cleaning base.

Are you say you have gotten 3g pure clean oxidised base but have only crystalised 1g so far?

If so, you have done a good job!!
