I've seen so heavy colored smoke and some hot fast starts but never have I seen a flask fire.I have never seen a flask fire either in the numerous hot/dry fast rxns that Ibee has run. Not in the literal sense of the term. But thanx to Jacked's and Worlock's early teachings and words of wisdom, two were avoided by taking their advice. The suggested ASAP remedy was to quench the improperly ratio`ed rxn with dh2o. Loss was suffered during the short time it smoked heaviest purple.
It was pretty to watch...but I'd rather watch a lava lamp after a hit or two of purple microdot.
that thread debate between you twoI wish bees wouldn't see that thread and interpret it as a debate. Geez and Ware come from different backgrounds but have a common goal in learning and sharing that is fueled by doing the research necessary for validation. And finally putting bees in the envelope of success. You might say it's kind of remarkable how two bees that have never met arrive at the same conclusions more often than not.
When we disagree on an applicable approach or a fundamental principal, I know I start retracing steps and analyzing in an effort to see what I might have missed that he picked up on and I feel Geez does the same.
I have sat dumbfounded some times when seeing the miraculous similarities reported by several bees but mostly Geez's knack for detail and never missing in a beat regarding the pill extraction front. His findings mirror my own in many cases.
Neither have a desire to compete with the other and neither are running for office, so I don't see our preferences in variations or discussions spawned as debates...
I do know with confidence that what He and Ibee share in there findings and suggestions can be applied with a higher level of certainty by other bees that put them in the success range if followed properly.
Without applying suggestions from Geez's circle, I'm confident that they work. There are only a select few bees that I can say that for without varification or confirming.
With that said...
Wouldn't third time use of MBRP make the reaction need more?Not necessarily...if the previous rxns ran clean and the MBRP was cleaned properly it's not unheard of for it to be as strong as was if not stronger than the first run.
If any trash is left on the MBRP after cleaning...the rxn has a funny way of stripping it of that trash during the first run.
Obviously, the redder it is, the better. It will begin to grey as it gets weaker.
Ibee always flash tests his MBRP with fire by taking a small portion and seeing how it burns beforeand after rxns.
Now back to the rxn at hand.
Since you decided to go with the best of both worlds
And since the inhabitants are marching to the beats of different drummers
, Ibee has to stick to guns in the customary drive-by fashion and and say Go with the 48hr and avoid trying to tweak it to fit into a smaller time frame.
That tweaking in and of itself is the cause of many disappointments and failures and then the ones getting blamed are the good bees offering the guidance rather than the tweeking inhabitant of both worlds holding a bigger hammer trying to slam the square peg in the round hole.
This rxn already has one strike against it, not with the amount of dh2o but with the inconsistancy in heating coupled with the inconsistancy of how the reactants came in contact with one another
throughout the rxn.
Those reactants work best when they are evenly dispersed in the beginning in order for the recyling of the highest HI percentage generation over time, exposed to what is being reduced.
If a bee has a huge clump of RP or I2 stuck on the bottom someware....the rxn may suffer some collateral damage
