Translation, since even with the gakk the effect was felt from what was extracted:
Geez Gakked by zyrtec-D: Geezemeister's extraction of Zyrtec-D tablets by the Straight to E method alone resulted in the extraction of pseudoephedrine which was contaminated with the pill additive called Orange II by those bees who have written about it.
Nasty stuff it is indeed. Orange II gakk is not something you wish to deal with post-reaction as it destroys yield.
This appeared after the second naptha pull, when I went to xylene and let it set. The Orange II gakk only appeared in the third pull from the reaction fluid, which was done with xylene rather than hot naptha, and was allowed to sit in contact with reaction fluid overnight before being processed further.
Has the amine in its tight little grasp and ate the better part of my yield from the Zyrtec tabs. Orange II had locked up much of the methamphetamine produced in the reaction of the pseudo I obtained from the zyrtec tabs and I cannot get the meth free of the orange stuff, no crystalization takes place, the shit just multiplies.
This is the variety of Orange II I believe. The orange looking gakk in the reaction of the zyrtec tabs appears to be contaminated with the Orange II gakk. I think/
I will know next time to carefully a/b the pseudo from these tabs. Next time I extract from these pills I will sure as hell take the time to a/b the damn pseudo after extracting from the pills so I won't get that shit in my next batch.
will have another batch before long and will update the notes. If the a/b works, you will hear me brag about it.
See... that wasn't hard at all, was it?
(Note I made no mention of pints and drops were not employed in any explantion. )
The significance here is that it came through this process with the pseudo.
