Anyone have any noticably more efficient RP results when adding some aluminum shards like Worlock suggests?Chemo: It's always been Ibee's experience that the addition of aluminum assists in scrubbing the RP especially when gaak has overwhelmed the precursors in rxn. It creates one of those scenarios when yer gear comes out and high fives ya in the end saying "Nice Save"!
There was much controversy surrounding this aluminum addition and it's a sitution you should have a reason for employing it or you'll likely never see the benefits of using it.
Ibee's lived it and still swears by it under certain conditions.
The aluminum does impart it's own smell and will interfere somewhat with that "done" smell bees are accustomed to....but creates it's own distinct done smell when all is converted.
Many bees don't have an exploratory mindset and won't sit still for observing and documenting advantage over disadvantage on the pioneering trails to discovery. Especially with results that produce subtle differences.
If the RP ratio was lacking or gaak threatens the rxn...by AWE means introduce a few broken UP poptops for that added Umph needed to reach the finish line!
For those that still aren't sold on this aluminum addition, add a peace of aluminum to a rxn in progress and observe the reactants interaction with the aluminum.
That smell note is important. Pay attention to it!
As for the PEG issue being a primary motivator that lead the LWR's developement? Not so! Although the LWR did turn out to be a best case scenario that spanned across and dealt with many problem areas making the window of success much bigger than the narrower windows at the time created by some encapsulating persistant gaaks.
Ibee was a bee that never had peg problems like most bees experienced and reported.
But most bees weren't employing the extraction methods that Ibee utilized toward sidestepping most gaaks.
And most importantly, part of Ibee's experimentation centered around recovery in any given situation pre and post rxn extraction! This entailed creating common failures scenarios in order to develope workarounds for those destined to encounter them.
Ibee learned more from those experiments than he could have ever hoped to have learned from all the successes.
Being a real "GO Getter" unfortunately, never centered solely around getting the GO for himself as much as it centered around helping to increase the chances for others to dream successfully.
Experiences that Ibee wouldn't change for the world.
That may sound egotistical or grandious to some, but in a community of info sharing and giving back, you can't give what you don't have.
And on an ever changing dreamscape, thanks to LE and PharmChemists, that old clich`e "If you can't keep UP, take notes!" just won't cut it.
The LWR reflux was born accidently out of a need to get at the bottom of what caused "ShootingSpark-SpaceDope".
If it weren't for Geezmeister's confirming reports and assessments on heat being a primary cause for, Ibee would have never lowered the heat creating a need to cook longer or the need to hydrate the rxn above normal dh2o ratio to keep the rxn from drying out.
It seems fitting that Geez should be the first OldDawg to employ the shift and experience the differences that Ibee was claiming and shoving down bees throats with his persistant notoriously atagonistic character and demeanor, otherwise known as Wareamiese
The most exciting and funnest
part of chemistry, is that no matter how many combinations are factored in, there is always room for improvement and improvision at any given stage.
And when you're like Ibee, this creates an endless amount of satisfaction and joy at every junction when a new rock is discovered and fully explored to it's full potential and worth.
Giving back is the easy part when you've already been given so much by those that took the time to take you under their wing along the way.
You could say that Ibee learned every thing he needed to know by way of the sparks he received from three exceptionally inspiring great GhettoMaster veterans of the Hive.

Without those three Chemhack masters of the skill, there would be no Ibeeware or the Kidz
And i read in another thread, if there's not enough free time to run the full 48h at once, the reaction can be splitted (today 4h, tomorrow 3, and so on) -
is this true? and practicable?
Wimpy:The rxn can be left in a state of "suspended animation" indefinately until it's complete.
Ibee felt reluctant in the beginning to leave a rxn completely unattended when duty called and he'd be off at work.
He'd shut down the heat, leave the ballon on, and continue heat every 12hours for another 8hr of cooking until the 48hr total cooking time was reached. Usually this would end up being what he liked to call a 4 day cook.
There have been some overkill experiments early on that were 5 and 7 day total constantly cooking rxns.
As stated...these tended to be WAY overkill!
But yes...a drive-by shooting style can be employed whereby you can shoot for 6 hours....hide for 12...shoot for another 12....hide for 8....shoot for another 4.....etc...etc....until the deed is done.
Ibee never shoots for less than a total 36hrs with the heat applied to the rxn.
SWIM is wondering what sort of difference an LWR yields in relation to quality and despite this being a very basic question does an LWR help in relation to removing todays GAKK's?
Yields vary from cook to cook and rely more heavily on work-up skill and the cleanliness of the feed than the rxn itself.
Ibee's yields in the 70% range were common during HF/PP rxn daze.
Today with a LWR ibee will yield in the 85% sometimes 90% range but his skills have gradually excelled due to practice making perfect.
Ibee would say a 10% yield difference, on average, is noticably a good reason to adopt the LWR approach over the HF/PP.
The biggest reason behind Ibee's unforgivable, almost nagging insistance for bees to switch to the LWR, had nothing to do with yields however.
It had more to do with the quality and strength experienced coupled with the main reason what set Ibee off in that experimental direction to begin with.
The Peace Of The Rxn and the elimination of the BranchPeeple/Black Helicopter Syndrome that threatened to be Ibee's demise if he continued to see fuckerz that weren't thare!
Not a living soul can convince you are not seeing what your mind insists you are experiencing at the time! And you can do some fucked up shit during those episodes!
And if they weren't on to you as a result of the hallucinations to begin with, they will be onto you by seeing your reaction to them non-existant bastards if you follow them into the non-reality zone!
Nothing is scarier than meth induced paranoia.
The other causes of paranoia are easier to discern for what they are.
Ibee's a hardcore part-taker of the goodz and several things can cause meth-amphetamine psychosis.
•Sleep deprevation halucination(multiple days UP!)
•Using to excess(*over-dosing*, not in the conventional definition meaning death)
•Impurities created and imparted to the meth(The so-called meth-induced variety not to be confused with using to excess)
This last case is the type that hits ya right outta the box on the first hit and sux worse than your worst nightmare.
Going to hell in a hand-basket doesn't even come close to an accurate description. "Bad trip" comes close, but still pales in comparison.
Makers of meth have control over this and Ibee's found that control in his own gear by utilizing the LWR.
This continues to be the course of some intense research in an effort to understand it better thereby getting an eventual handle on it.
Unfortunately for Ibee, he can't avoid the spectrums of extreme until he's through with his experimentation.
To date...this condition created by the third impurity-induced cause has been arrested for Ibee when the LWR is used to reduce pfed.
He may or may not ever get a handle on the first two causes...
But stay tooned and glued to yer tubes if ya wanna find out!
Much of what comes from Ibee's corner can be viewed as ground-breaking at times, unless your there first hand as one of the lab monkey guinnea animals....For them it can be described as "Earth-Shatteringly Mind Boggling"!
Long Live The Hive!
