"News Flash: Tangos have Taken over the east coast"

Holy shit fell asleep again in front of the damn box, and the network gamers are after the East again.
What for? they tried this last week and could not grow rice in Boston!! geeeswizz.
Hee Hee I'll just feed them some bad shell fish _ Hmm does this month have an "R" in its name
Click click clackity clickity clack--kkk It does now-- clickity clackity clackity clickity ka-clack

BingaBonga-bongaBunga!!
Dang someone is tired of living, ringing my door bell at 3AM
"What the fu..."

MY oldest and dearest friend says, "Here, hold this"

"Uh ...,. Ok ", as I look at 5 gal glass bottle with a gallon or two of milk shake in it.

My Partner says."remember those people I told you about, with the 115 bottles of E"

"Yeah sure I 'member them,", I reply.
"Well they want you cook the stuff up, those other dudes sat on it five days and don't know what they, are doing"

Greedy I says, " 3am emergencies the price went up to 50%"

Partner says ,"Well I can take it back then"

Thinking for 1/2 a second " Sit down tell me da story, while I wake up" Snnnooorrrrtttttt
He unloads the dreary details

"So what your saying is they gave you:
450 grams of semi processed E
1-1/2 pounds of RP,
3 pounds of I2
and you have it all with you, NOW! and this is it?
115 bottles of - 120s - 60 mg right?
When was the last time you did any math?
And I get a third, why that is 150 grams 4 oz no that's 5 ozers.
Your math, but you better check the numbers again my friend !!"

My deal, "In addition, I want the 5gallon jug, all the RP, and all the I2, fair enough?? And they will get what they plan on, kewl?!!!

"yup, sounds good to me ,,,.. that's the way I see it, too ", says partner

An hour later after slaving over the Buchner, Adding a lye solution , big clumps of white shit come screaming up to the top of the separatory funnel
Partner Says " hey what is that shit?"

Replying politely I say, , "That is the E, my good friend"

"duh, how did you do that so quick ?" asked partner

"It is one those Hive things, you know Bee lore , You wouldn't understand"

"Partner remarks, " Wow, sure looks like a Lot"

"Heee heee", I says, "Here take this down and boil off the fluids, and use the fan so it don't catch fire."

Well you can guess the rest of the story,
True? I suppose, It is, I can't admit to anything,
except it seemed to be a great story especially for a slow Monday.

Ah, the de-waxing thing, these stumblers had the stuff dissolved in mostly water, with a bit of alcohol and acetone mixed in, from what I could tell.
It was very slow to filter with a 5" diameter buchner, medium fine paper, and a 30 on the vacuum gauge,(don't know if it is pounds or mmHg), it was doing some sucking. The vacuum pump has dual cylinders hooked up in tandem, the flow rate was at a whopping 0.1 liters/minute.
Usually the flow rate is 3 liters/minute. Typically filtering is like flushing a toilet, the stuff floods through, it will filter a reaction mixture 4-6 times in a few minutes. The one hang up is wax, does not take much to plug the paper.

However, like a sand filter, by allowing the fillers to accumulate to several inches depth in the buchner, helped trap and hold the wax. The remaining wax was water soluble, the addition of lye made the E a freebase(oil soluble), and the wax stayed in the lye water and was flushed.
It did take longer than an hour to filter.
all the crud, more like three hours.

The non-polar was Pyroil starting fluid from Valvoline containing ethyl ether, heptane, and hexane. I believe you are familiar with this! Seemed to work well, the E freebase was a massive white gloppy sludge that sat on the bottom of the ether layer. The freebase was hit with large amounts of HCl until the E dissolved into the d-water layer, this is what was evaporated, to yield the salt E-HCl.
After yanking out 15 ozs, tasting the pill powder indicates there is more E in it.

80 grams of the E was run off to see how well it would react, returning 55 grams of tip-top M.

The last bit of arcane knowledge about de-waxing, I had to change my thinking and came to the conclusion that the bitter contaminant found in meth the HABB&BF(Heat Activated Bitter Brown & Black Funk)
iodo and or chloro ephedrine
The prior reaction was a dismal fuck-up.
a 100 gms E, 35 gms of lousy returned
the M was of relatively poor quality go-go, Strong but a touch of bitterness, unsavory,(iodoephedrine not the salt)

nevermind, professional jealosy.

I was wondering also if you had ever tried the KRZ saturate boiling isopropyl and put in freezer technique: souns like JUST the thing to get rid of a LOT of crap that makes it through otherwise.

Dwarfer,
I only steal your ideas,you know the ones you borrow from someone else and forget to return.
The KZR method of saturating the hot alcohol then freezer it? not yet, soon.
What 99% isopropyl or will 70% work ok?
will methanol work also? I guess it will.
Are you leaving it over night?
