that ballzofsteel is bright wee spark, you'd be hard pushed to extingush the fire in his mind. with a name like that swis reckons you've got a handle on working with base.
see how oz says so few words and says so much, when you can do that they make your name red
in the begining swis could have bits of reaction scattered from start to end meaning that unchanged precussors or compounds formed from side reactions, inexperienced washing or extraction techniques gave rise to undesirables with the planned or unplanned addition of hcl things went to shit
come time for e-vapour-ation swis's inexperience coulda turned out shit the dog would run from. recystalising helped.
i haven't tried dwafers pump, but i like the advantage of going slow if you lack heaps of experience, good venting would still be nessersary wouldn't it.
titiration is a good tool, though swis got some very different results when working with different np solvents.
swis found that some solvents could hold an excessive amount of HCl and in a very short time your goods got trashed, without the experience this can be real nerve-racking and not so flash on yields.
i think hemetite talked about precharging a solvent with hcl, wether he did this with another solvent present i can't remember.
swis doesn't have the full grasp on all of the techniques but is known to split honey and try different work-ups/combo's. its an eye opener.
swis also got plagued with the sulphate pixies, she changed her solvent and acid supplier. with a new brand and somemoney wasted, no more yellow.
i think superassman has a write up on the tale of worlocks kerplunk thread about nutrilising sulphates which could probably get done after you get the goods clear of its more toxic environment.
a term that i haven't seen much is a planned overshoot, for someone like swis who lacks good chem grounding should this be left till later or is more a matter of whats relevent to the each reaction?
thanks blaztoff, i'm off to find fmans microgas thread,
mmm i hope it doesn't make the meth dry and chewy
imagine a creature so powerfull it could extingush life or create it on a mear whim
