OK, it is obvious that you still don't understand this kind of logic. I will do my best to explain.

First, the ideology behind the methodology centers on observation and is based on experience.

Swigotta has not pursued the knowledge, equipment, and skills necessary to determine when a solution of hydriodic acid has reached a concentratiom of at least 57%. If he so desired, He surely has the capacity to absorb the information and perform the procedure.

Now, stay with me.

I have some chemistry education, I had to take several chemistry classes in college to receive my degree as an MT. Unfortunately, I only stayed in the field for 6 years and that was quite some time ago. It doesn't matter anyway, booksmarts seem to leave my mind the fastest. I believe there are far more people at this site with little or no chemistry knowledge than there are those with a working knowledge of reaction theory and stoichiometry.

So, those who have little or no chemistry training tend to conform to a particular kind of methodology. They research information on the subject in question, perform selected procedures, and document their results. According to their personal observations they rationalize a modification, impliment the change and repeat the process. Over time they perfect or tailor the original procedure to a methodology that works for their particular way of thinking.

The balance of the 4 basic chemicals necessary to reduce pseudoephedrine to methamphetamine has been observed, then modifid or "tweaked", many, many times in the last few years. Much has been documented from these observations. Those who consistently document or "post" observations and experiences that an individual, such as....say....maybe....Swigotta can duplicate achieving the same outcome, will gain credibility with that individual.

Credibility is compounded by precisely and accurately communicating these observations and experiences in a way that a very diverse group of individuals are able to duplicate and achieve the same outcome.

This will gain the credible individual respect and admiration.

I cannot speak of how much 57% hydriotic acid it takes to reduce a gram of pseudoephedrine to methamphetamine in a given amount of time at a given constant temperature. I can however state with absolute certainty that a gram of pseudoephedrine can be completely reduced to methamphetamine using only 0.7 ml. of DH2O in the reaction mix.

How can I say this with absolute certainty?

The Geezmeister says so, and the above ideology confirms it.

Credibility, asshole.

Try working on getting some.

It takes 2 moles of 57% HI to reduce 1 mole of starting material no matter how long you cook or how much rp is left to recycle.

You look up to geez like hes your friggin dad or something, maybe its time you start looking up to a real chemist like WizardX

Id like to see you go to the-hive and say "any respectable cook will add .7ml per gram" like you said here.

Youd be set ablaze for it! 100% garonteeeee

When was the las time you spoke over at the Hive, NeverSleepy??? Weren't you set a blaze!!!!

Go talk shit about Geez to his face, I guarantee that you'll be set on fire.... AGAIN!!!

Lukky D

Yep. and guess what?

Go over to the hive (anyone. gather round, gather round) and in TFSE uncheck all forums and check stimulants. Then put geezmeister in the username space and type "DH2O" in the body space, then search.

That's strange, nobody ever flamed him for those numerous references to the ridiculously low volume of DH2O used in the reactions he described. He must be the luckiest man alive getting blasted off his ass with all that unreduced pseudo. I'm sure it's just his get out of flaming free card.

That's it. I am not wasting another minute on your bullshit. You have been beaten repeatedly. Go ahead, extract pounds of ephedra plant and take all that beautiful freebase, make the HI, then reduce it to the most extraordinary meth that has ever coursed through human veins, and go, go, go!

Most people here want good, sound advice on relatively uncomplicated techniques in order to get their feet wet, gain a little confidence and move up a step. You're great, I suck, and chemhead is just a bunch of idiots.

There, ya happy?

Now, shut up!

Wow when you read the whole threads you can see osmium, organikum, glacal-fluxer, and others preaching against his dry rxns, explaining the important role h20 plays.

And yes, now im happy!
