OK, well, seems within the last 3 weeks, most new orders of Sudafed *originals* have been modified and now include hems which kill a meth extraction.
It looks like the original extraction of Pseudo-ephedrine from Sudafed (Nasal & Decongestant (60mg x 30)) is No longer possible. From what I know which may already be common knowledge to the rest of the planet is PEG being the culprit of failed rxn's. Although looking all nice and normal when reacting and filtering the rp, as soon as your solvent and lye are added, expect a nice green cheddar cheese like emulsion to own your batch. Possibility of Povidone also being added as expecting a minimum total of 6g's at the end of the cook, ended up being no more than .4 from each pull attempted. All pulls + Peroxide added to push the oil into the solvent, the total yield was no more than 1g.
SWIM's comments refer to the ORIGINAL sudafeds in the squarish packets, the tablets, not the caps.
NO physical changes are noticed, the size of the pill, the stamp and the box remain exactly the same.
DO not be fooled, as I no doubt have been and have wasted my HI.
This scenario kicking in all doubt about considering any future cooks.
Any comments, or insults, please post.
In all n all, gratitude towards all bees within the forum, from no knowledge and nothing more than ambition taking control has lead me from a newbie with no comprehension of the reaction to a newbie with some comprehension and now having the knowledge to complete a rxn successfully *appart from this time* :: May the world be blessed by methamphetamines, sex and single white females:)
