From swims experience with the spoon and mask and also when he made the switch to the hypo way of doing things, certain temps, length of reactions, feed stock purity, and alot of different variables come into play. Swim dreamed that he once long ago right after the hypo switch that if he kept the hypo/I2/psuedo right below the temp of the second reaction (like 76°c) this would change the outcome, so he did, he took extra care of the mixture slowly heating and not letting it go off for 2 hours then just bumping the heat up to start it to boiling itself, then going black, then clearing up, then cool, base, extract, and it was exceptional. Girlfriend had a big smile. (Open vessle days) Ammonia days, EXTRA EXTRA care had to be taken, purity of ammonia was a huge issue, but when the purity was up so was the girlfriend. Now a condenser is in play, with a condom attached (not for sex) and the results are half and half, seems the 15g to 25g size batches with 6 to 8 hour refluxes produce less of an effect than 8g to 10g with 2 to 4 hour refluxes. 8 to 10 being more potent. Swim tries to maintain the same type of enviroment conditions. Always ultra clean. Same quality in chemicals each time. This makes it easier to find out what you fucked up in your procedure. So what is happening that is causing the L and D changes here?
