So swim's question is: If swims using .8ml of H20 per g of E, when the E is added won't the water be soaked into the E rather than sitting as a puddle in the flask? or does this not matter if theres no free water as long as its in there its OK?
Back to the drawing board
I doesn't f*&King matter man, the whole point of a LWR is that one doesn't have to go by the signs like the push/pull guys do. As Ware and Geez say "Set it and forget it."
These refluxes are very tame reaction
EDIT:Wizard X has always maintained to add the iodine and red phosphorous first to make the HI. By doing this, the E will not be affected by any by-products produced by the HI being made.
When he recrystallised his heart sank as he saw needles form instead of the hoped-for plate-like meth crystals
Ephedrine or pseudoephedrine do not crystallise into needles a.f.a.i.k, swim seems to think pinwheels is their description.pinwheels are different from pins
in fact I seem to remember chemfinder used to describe the pure crystalline material as pins, as did Fester I believe although of course - I cant be arsed to back up any of these claims as chemfinder doesn't show this info anymore and I am easily discouraged
