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........

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.

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".

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.

Reprinted from the Merck Index V 12.1a, 1996

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

Hydrocodone
What an amazing thing, add a little alcohol,and a lot of coke and no telling what will happen. Some amazing stories can be told.

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, though. Still got plenty of them left for a rainy day, too!

I never have, and never will, do Meth.....
I love the hell out of Hydrocodone though,
I do about 15 pills a day, of the 10mg kind.
but the amount of acetaminophen is tearing up
my liver, and according to the post WORLOCK,
the codone is soluble, the solid is the
acetaminophen, unless i'm reading STONIUM'S
post wrong...........MAYBE?
Help if I'm confused..........

water. Soluble in methanol, ethanol, dimethylformamide, ethylene dichloride, acetone,

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.

Just my goddamn opinion godamnit! Thank you, very much.

Ok I'm back and rested and found what I was trying to explain before, here it is-"http://rhodium.lycaeum.org/chemistry/forensic.txt". Well I think that should do it but if not, it is labeled impurities found from the manufacture of meth....it's right above the P2P title heading. Hope this helps with insight a little. Pyrex out
