Os that is Hilarious.
Stupidity and lack of chem's could have been the reason Dick spat on the spot.
Update:
Dick rinsed the resulting xtls in water, filtered dried
and tested the xtls in a small pie rxn.
As w/ gacked p-cursers before it was slow to start, however in comparison to previous tries w/same pills the rxn had some "life" to it.
Dick was impatient so the rxn was short... Dick was really only interested in seeing if the problem gack, the on that produces that efervecent smell and creates "toothpaste" when acidified at the very end. Dick wondered if he hadn't of mixed the 2 pulls together, what an idiot! In a rush he took the pull from the story above and an additional pull combined for the rxn. The second pull had to many pills in it (disolved in the salt water) for the water volume and salt volume in a lg dram. The water used was distilled but had been swished around and spat into the dram. Salt added then pills. It created a foam layer at the top that "wrapped" around the pills as they were added one by one. Also Dick noticed the pills were more readily disolved this time creating string like attatchments rising upward. In general all actions and motions had an upward direction. No heat had been added but the water was between rm temp and body temp. (plus any variation due to salt disolving?) More salt and time for the salt was needed perhaps? To many variables here, but Dick was aware that it was more favorable for the gack. Worste case conditions compared to above story.?!
Dicks previous atempt w/ these pills was a failure, prior to this rxn. With xtraction methods other than the ones in this thread.
This time, though the rxn was short fast n way too hot,
and the smell could be noted when basing, Dick continued to base the rxn mix. (unfiltered) based til it would have locked up if cooler. Upon letting it sit for 30 min an oily layer rose to the top. (the dram had been tillted and rolled 3 diff times in the 30 min. The bottom layer had locked up now so Dick sucked up the oil with a dropper.
Dick then sucked up a bit of ditiled h20, capped the end of the dropper w/finger and mixed it up a bit. then Dick droppered out the water and sucked up a bit of hcl/water premixed 8 drops per 20 or so mL. Some toothpaste crap apeared and Dick was sad at first. This formed a layer at the interface so dick said what the hell and droppered out 2 drops in a pipe and one on a mirror to dry. Torch in hand the drops in the pipe were slowly heated bit after bit till the vapor/smoke cross point reached. Upon cooling xtls formed where before only a salty powder and slime were the result. Reheated and reluctantly whiffed Dick did smell candy, then continued to heat and smelled psuedo. The candy smell is that of uncleaded result of older pie rxn's that were successful.. the psudo refernce is the smell of psuedo as it reaches the overheated n gacked ponit when extracted and not cleaned. Also noticed was that plasticy smell at the end, but only very slight was the efevecent smell. Dick was pleased somewhat and will due a larger more controled run and report the results....
I'll keep all posted on his progress
