Not only me, but many others desire your practical hands on knowledge, and
experience.
My question involves your thoughts on optimal flask size and precurser
ratios. What do you believe is best for yeilds, consistancy, and quality.

okay........this is what hands on knowledge tells me........I started
with a 2000 ml filter flask......I choose the filter flask because
it's thicker than your standard boiling flask and can handle the
pressures and temperatures alot better than any
other flask.......Now, in this 2000 flask, my teacher and I had
started with 1 oz meth yeilds, at a 50% yield ratio......and
the size of the gas cans were small 1 gallon sizes....I noticed
that as we had expanded our size (up to 4 oz's of meth at a 50%
yield), the flask was becoming to small, and the push/pull would
rock really violently.. and not to mention that when the
second reaction would go off, some of the contents would shoot up
the hose, and into the push/pull......so when I started going
solo, I upgraded to a 4000 ml flask........I also upgraded the cans
to 2.5 gallon cans.... As the story goes, I had ran into a
money problem cuz of an accident, and was only able to piece
together enough money to blow off a 1.5 oz load of meth at a 50%
yield....but the reaction had problems.........I think the size of
the flask, and the amount of water in the cans, would not let my
reaction happen like a text book......instead of getting
my reactions kicking off, it just cooked, and cooked, and
cooked........there was no violent reaction whatsoever......I
noticed the yellow iodine color though, and proceeded the steps,
and came out with 74% yield instead of 50%.....but, the red
took forever to filter out.......I think the high temperature of the
second reaction, actually bakes the R, and helps to separate
it..... cuz I've never had a problem filtering it off when I have
that second violent reaction, but I always have a hard time when I
don't get it to happen.......second thing I noticed, was that in
the 4000 flask, I could fire off an expected, 3.5 oz meth load at 50%
yield, without any of it crawling out the hose..... most all the
other batchers I know of, never ever heard of my method, and use the
old ten foot hose going straight to the ceiling method, and just
wash the hose back into the flask when it's over........well, if you
can keep the contents from shooting out the hose in the first place,
then all the better..... third thing I noticed, is that the harder
the pull, the more yield.......check this out, after the second
reaction (when all the I gets used up), I leave the flask on low
heat, and swirl every minute, I notice the sprinkle effect watch
the pull in my tanks get harder and harder and harder, and that if
you do not let any oxygen whatsoever back into the flask, not only do
you have a higher yield, but better shit too.....reason being, is
once the pull effect starts happening, this tells you that you've
created a completely hydrogen state in the flask, and the less
oxygen, the more vacuum, or in other words, more pull......so the more
pull means higher yields.......something to think about, since the
fact that since i've been using this as my template, I always now get
anywhere's from 66 to 74% yields........ As far as amounts go, in
every other method, I always hear of using large amounts of heat,
and precursors, but I don't think this is necessary.......I just had a
hands on student tell me, that my way is the most simplest,
cleaniest, easiest system he's ever seen....and this guy is an old dog
to the meth scene......Take this into account.. I tried upgrading
both I and R to my current ratios, and didn't get any better
results... I'm not sure of exactly why my recipe works sooooo good,
but it does...........I use less I, R, and Heat, than everybody else,
and I have some of the best in town......This is not ego, this is
comments from people that will wait weeks sometimes for me, cuz
they know that mine always comes up right..... currently, I use 1/3
R, equal I, and less than 180 degrees of heat to fire it off.... I
tried more 1/2 R, and more I, but didn't get any better results, and
more heat actually makes for more chance of explosion, due to the
fact that at a certain temperature the Red Phosphorous, CAN, and WILL,
convert back to WHITE phosphorous, which is explosive on contact
with oxygen.....this is how match books work.......the friction of
the match head, actually causes the Red phosphorous on the striking
pad, to convert back into White Phosphorous, therefore igniting on
contact with the surrounding oxygen and thus igniting the match
head..... I hope this answers your question, and i'm sorry if I
rambled a bit too long.....

oops, also forgot to mention, that with my recipe, my shit is ALWAYS,
ALWAYS, consistent....If I change anything, so does the quality,
for instance, one time I couldn't find any Methanol at all, and
had to use Denatured Alcohol, and when it came out, it was good
stuff, but not my normal kickass shit....And the more Wax you
get out of the Pseudo, the better quality the shit......Twice I left
the Wax in, fired it off, and it came out as only okay
stuff..... but when I do a full cleaning on the pseudo, and get it
as pure as possible, the shit is kickass........OHHHHHHH, here's
something interesting to note......You'll like this one......A
couple times I've burnt my pseudo REALLLLL bad, and had to throw it
away, cuz it was like tar.....but a friend said to react it
anyways......well opportunity came up when I fell asleep, and burnt it
REALLLL bad again......I mean BLACK TAR bad!..... but I said "What
the hell" and decided to dry it out and react it anyways......NO
LIE! I came out with superb shit!....at a 52% yield! and it was
White with a slight yellow tint, and everybody said it just tasted
a little funny!.....Now, ain't THAT some shit.. so don't get
discouraged if your burn your shit, USE IT ANYWAYS!.....After all, it
can't hurt, and you already spent money on it...I mean THAT one
REALLY freaked me out...hehehe ....And here's another good one.....my
friend brought me an ounce of Pink pseudo, cuz he couldn't get all
the red out, and I looked at him funny but fired it off anyways,
expecting nothing to come out, well I was wrong, and somewhere in
the process, the red dye gets eaten away, and you still get
white shit......and it was pretty good too......I was afraid it
would affect the reaction, but it didn't......SOOOOOO......everything
stated just now, is hands on experience, and hands on experience has
learned me a VALUABLE lesson.....That in these situations, there is
always a margin for NOT BEING EXACT.... and still coming out with what
you want.... It's all workable, and DOES NOT have to
be exact......Remember.......I'm no chemistry student....Just a
business man.......and if you want consistency, then YOU YOURSELF,
have got to be consistent in the way you do things

Sorry, one more thing.......to sum it up... I use a 4000ml filter
flask, with really clean Pseudo, with fresh precurors gets you the
GOOD shit.....the ratios for me......are as follows.....i do no more,
or no less than 172 grams of pseudo per cook....doing 2 cooks at a
session...yielding about 8 to 9 ounces of meth........so it's 172 grams
of pseudo, with 172 grams of Iodine, and 58 grams of Red
Phos........to get roughly 110 to 128 grams of meth..........or, 4 to
4.5 ounces of meth when at a 50% yield, would be 3 ounces of meth
per batch........

posted 09-15-99 04:29 AM
DAMN!....i'm sorry, one last thing.....VERY important....I also use a
capful (from the gallon jug) of distilled water, for every ounce of
50% yield I expect, like in the above scenario, I dump in 3 capfuls of
distilled water.....and the Gas cans are each 2.5 with a total of 2
1/4 gallons of water.........The drier the contents, and the less
yield, however if you over saturate the contents of the flask, it'll
cook forever and you'll get nothing........

my question to you, as the non-chemist that i am, is...What do you
think about what I said above of the burning the
Pseudo...every single person said that it was absolutely the best I
ever had.......do you think that by burning it up...how should i put
this.... burning things up, adds extra carbons to the mix.....so by
burning up the pseudo, added extra carbons to the molecules, and
maybe these extra carbons added an extra bond?... maybe?.....I don't
know......but i'm gonna purposely burn some again, and see what
happens........what do you think?..

After reading what you call "ramblings" I feel inspired and in awe of your
abilities. You have a good command of the language and are able to relate
your thoughts.
Having burnt a fair share of ephed , and watching just slightly over
hot ephed turn brown for no good reason. is a good place to begin. I
approach problems from the basics and work up, So, let me run thru a
logical mental progression as it unfolds.
Never have I seen a flame, from burning ephed , although more than
enough smoke is produced, and it always has pretty much the same smell,
that is the smell of ephedrine. There is in addition a hint of a harsh,
acrid(not acid) odor smilar to acrylene, that comes from buring oil.
Racemic ephedrine is what we purchase commercially and is a mixture of
D & l ephedrine, the D form producing L-meth which is worthless.
The melting point of L-ephedrine hydrochloride is 220 C
The MP of d-ephedrine HCl is 187 C hence these are diastereoisomers,
similar but not mirror images, having differing physical properties
Not having the information on boiling points, it is safe to assume that
the boiling points are higher and that l-ephed boils at a higher
temperature than d ephedrine.
I have heard that ephedrine was used as a coolant for drill bits at one
time. This would be consistant with the chemical's ability to boil away
and not actually flame up or oxidize. A flame would indicate a chemical
reaction with oxygen.
So as you see ephedrine is rather tough and heat resistant. The
"burning" then might be the volitization of ephedrine and does not involve
any actual chemical reaction. The browning caused by remnants of
fillers, sugars, waxes, and trash, while the d-ephedrine(useless shit
anyway) boils off first getting your attention, the L-ephedrine (good
shit)boils off much later.
So that by the time your nose detects a problem, the smoking pan has
lost some crappy fillers, d-ephedrine and what is remains is mainly
L-ephedrine and it is possibly more pure.
This gives me an idea about the latest DEA pill additive (which is very
difficult to remove). I must live in the DEA's testing area, because
the stores I get my pills at often have a very efficient, well dressed,
good looking, sharp, woman behind the counter, not the type of female that
would be working in a head/smoke shop. I think many of the shops are DEA
fronts, and they distribute cop pills. I cannot obtain consistant
results for more than a month. One day the pills change and I may loose a
load, if I don't notice the change. So I end up jumping around to
locate a new store and new brand of pill. This is why I have become such a
persistant experimenter, not because I enjoy changes, but to keep on top
of the BS.
Their newest additive is a wicked hard wax, that is soluble in water,
methanol, goes into a nonpolar solvent when basified and becomes water
soluble when acidified, however in cold temperature it does not became
water soluble in acids at a fast enough rate and the majority of it can be
filtered out, but enough remains that it still waxes the shit out of the
RP and stops a full reaction.
I had heard they developed a blocker similar to ephedrine except the
aromatic ring contains an additional side group. This may be what I have
just run into. If so the removal of that side chain to create Ephed
would be the table turner on those bastards.
This drug enforcement trip is way out of control, they have no reason
to hinder and imprison the population over meth, it is dumb.

Methhead I am confused about the "Second-reaction".
Some say it is adding a bit of the P/P juice and heating the mixture,
to fully react any remaining ephedrine.
I think you mean a "second reaction" is the pull phase or
anaerobic-hydrogen phase of the reaction.
Please expound on your meaning, when you have the time.
I often think about compression and the pulling effect of the hydrogen.
Am starting to see this as absorption of the hydrogen by the meth as the
iodine is removed.
"you knows, I be trying".

posted 09-16-99 02:32 PM
okay, um "First Reaction" means, to pop the contents into the flask,
and you get the highly volatile earthquake that you quickly calm
down in the flask, by shaking it..... then letting it sprinkle away for
awhile til the mix gets liquidy and yellow....then you add "heat"
for the the "Second Reaction"... Second Reaction, is when you add the
heat, and you get the violent earthquake in the flask, when you blow
out the rest of the iodine. It is right after this, that
you've created a hydrogen state, and get the pull.. this is when the
rest of the Pseudo gets turned into meth, and you get higher
yields.

I agree with you on the DEA thingy.....They shouldn't imprison people
over drugs...but this is the constant war we live in....You know
what?.....I think I might live very near to you.....it sounds like "my
town" that you are talking about.....heheheh..... wouldn't be
surprising........Anyways....I haven't tried the "NEW" pills yet, cuz I
have a store owner friend who still has thousands of the old Top
Form, and Generic Black and White Label kind. So until he runs out
of those, I haven't tried the new 60 count bottles yet......but if
the wax solidifies in the cold, then maybe Ice Cold Water, like
I already use does the trick?, or maybe after doing a Methanol pull,
leave the liquid in a regulated freezer, at say around 33
degrees fahrenheit, should lock up the wax, and not the
pfed..........

MH: Here is solubility info on the two substances:
Hydrocodone-Soluble in alcohol, dil. acids. Insoluble in water.
Acetaminophen-Very slightly soluble in cold water, considerably more
soluble in hot water. Soluble in methanol, ethanol, dimethylformamide,
ethylene dichloride, acetone, ethyl acetate. Slightly soluble in ether.
Practically insoluble in petr. ether, pentane, benzene.

That there give you any ideas? Heh-heh. Yeah, well, I figured it would!

Guessing from structural similarities of the two molecules to other known
molecules.
Hydrocodone should become water insoluble near pH 9+ Acetaminophen
should remain water soluble beyond pH 10 and will turn insoluble at pH-11
or 12.
That is only a guess, but it appears for sure that one will precipitate
out of a water solution before the other one will.
Acetaminophen being much like ephedrine.
Hydrocodone being closly related to morphine.

I know much less then either of you but when looking over some new info at
Rhodiums site the other day I came across in depth explainations as to the
the workings of this reaction, I was half out of it while looking over the
info and later that day when it came to miind again, for the life of me I
couldn't remember where I had seen or heard these details, then after
banging my head against the wall I remebered it was at Rhodium's site, the
explainations were something to this effect- At the start of the reaction
all is combined and the red and the I2 react to make PI3 which then (i'm
drawing a blank, sorry) ...then the HI which is created on the spot
reduces some E and in the presence of H20 HI wants to dissacociate into
the H and I the I meets up with P again and the H once pulled out of the E
starts to move away or float away whatever, now h20 free it recombines
with the I from PI3 and jsut keeps cycling. I hope this makes some sense
or at least you'll know what to look for on his site, and the pull coming
from the atomsphere in the vessels becoming saturated so heavily and the
resistance of the water creating pressure it reaches the point where the
HI vapors can't stay gasoues anylonger and they dissolve into the liquids
in the tanks, this last part about the pull actually my not have come from
Rhodiums site, it may have been read in a post here...like i said I was
half asleep, if the source was posted wrong i'm sorry, but these details
did sound very convincing and do appear to follow the rules of chemistry.
Well hope this helps, Ill have to look around when I have more time if
this didn't help. Pyrex dozzin offfff

So it seems that you just add water, and filter, the solid is the
codone, think I'll try it myself.

WWell, hydrocodone is something else, I must say. I had some major dental
work recently--ouch, ouch, ouch. Was given prescription for Vicodin 750's
for pain relief. Whenever I take them, I am damn near completely
immobilized--all I could do was sleep! And the dreams I had-whoa! Strange,
very strange indeed. Heh, guess it did help me forget the pain for awhile,

That the hydrocodone is insoluble in water(will not
dissolve). and the tylenol is soluble in warm water.
I was guessing that the codone would be less soluble than acetaminophin
but did not realise it was not soluble at all

Hey, hey, hey!
This belongs in the, uh, the uh, the forum marked Other. This is the
Crystal Meth forum where we like things nice and neat.
But as long as we're on the subject I think the idea is you can't
disolve a Vicodin in a spoon and then shoot it. Is that correct? Well
let's just say so, shall we? What can you do with them besides chew em up
and swallow them after root canal work? They don't make pain go away,
they just make you not care so much about it.
