might have made error / tetratrap

[refukendiculous]

with 7 boxes of 120s(generic wallys) removed shells and sifted...measurd in beaker and marked this spot...put this in another beaker and added in original beaker the same amount of sodium carbonate then combined the two and blended to fine powder. then goin by agreichs tetra post, added pm/sc to pre marked point in heating beaker...basically around thirty gms...then added tetra til saturation...then added around one inch or so of naptha over the pm/sc...then added around one and three fourths of a tablespoon of water...then proceeded to heat and stir per instructions...the the last time this was done did one box at a time...just wanted to make sure this sounds like the right ratios or if any tweeking should be done before proceeding any opinions are appreciated

What do you mean last time it was done one box at a time?
Didnt you already combine your 7 boxes together?

But everything sounds fine.

[refukendiculous]

last time meaning coupla weeks ago...also it was the first attempt at tt/spd...it worked out fine but to be safe and not screw the entire ballawax swim did each box seperatley...i know it may sound funny but id rather get the last laugh as to not lagh at all...any way thanks for the confirmation...let ya know later how it comes out

you said TT/SPD, but you havnt mentioned anything about SPD, do you mind clarifying on how you went about the SPD?

[refukendiculous]

not at all...placed all the fb from TT in 250ml(app.12 gms) boiling flask ,attached tube made from old liebig and connected other end to collection flask with room temp naptha...sat patiently while increasing the heat ever so slightly until FB began to melt then vaporize...and styed at it til i thought no more was coming over...that was ,again the first time and went probably around average(6or7gms recovered) but, alot of the FB i noticed formed in the tube on the way across...thinking about using alow watt light bulb to warm the tube enough to keep formaton down to minimum on this next one...

(evilscripter69: "Best extraction method. well tested", Stimulants) SWIM has made modifications to setup utilizing a large horizontal pipe to collect the FB pseudo, the best pfed has been from this tube. Try it out if you have access to glass tubing.
After some recent testing SWIM has found xylene to be the best non polar tor the TT. he also recommends doing 2 or 3 pulls and increasing the water each time. start with a minimal amount, will post amounts after some more testing) also suggest 2 times pill mass for the Sodium carbonate. Addition of a small amount of NaOH seems to increase yeilds, especially for first pull. SWIM is working on doing a writeup at the moment.

Sounds perfect, if you wanted to improve it you could keep the naptha hot because room temp naptha isnt the best solvent for pseudo freebase.
Or you could just swap the naptha with toluene, xylene or another NP.

Or if you wanna fuck around with it, instead of your naptha have freezing cold water in the receiving flask, maybe with a bit of ice in it too, then when the FB vapours hit it will just crystalize straight out and when done all you would have to do is filter the water, saves time having to evap or gas a NP.
