AM has brought to Swiss' attention that a new "dopefuckerupper" has been added to a good deal of the wht. 60's. This creature of the deep has been destroying Swiss' quality and quanity and perplexing Swiss and makeing him look like a "person who could no longer produce killer chili". I was dumbfounded, embarassed, and angry with myself for a while because this predator was lurking in my chili, and I didn't know it. He according to the man, quietly lurks in the shadows, darkening your rxn fluids, and springin into activity when you attemt to raise the ph. This is no joke, I just wanted to let everyone know.

Well...........what the heck is it?

Its called yesterdays news. The orange gaak is nothing new. Most people find it when using methanol or isopropyl to pull the pills. Denatured alcohol is ok and the new one by Video Editor has proven itself with P/8's, L434's, L450's, and 257's. These are for sure. In lower concentrations it may look pink. Xylene crashing after the ve method is complete will keep ya safe and clean.

from my book

"Methyl Orange; An organic dye used as an acid-base indicator. It changes from red below pH 3.1 to yellow above pH 4.4 (at 25c) and is used for titrations involving weak bases."

there is also a methyl red that is quite similal except in color.''''shift

I had no orange tint at all in my (well filtered) liquid E or in my dry, crystalized E. However, Swiss' final rxn fluid has been dark brown, and he's doing the same process that usually produces Killa', so he doesn't think that its because not all iodine has been burned off, but sadly chili has not been killa.

???Skark? Something else???

No, you're right. Your pseudo can be perfectly snow white and powder dry and still have that shit in it. One way to know for sure is when you clean your post rxn RP. After it has been rinsed out good and it is ready to be cleaned up so it can be used again, put some acetone in it and stir it up. Wait a few minutes and see if the liquid turns colors. Anything from light pink to a medium orange is messed up, but you can still pull good shit from it. Just a little less of it. Final xylene crash will take care of it.

Thanks Gotta,

So, are you saying this shit doesn't effect potency, only yield?

Also,is this why Swiss' Rxn fluid has been so dark, and has such a "sweet", not so good dopey smell? Or has he, perhaps, gotten off kilter with his crystals? Time/temp? Swiss doesn't think so. When he first started getting dark, sweet smelling rxn fluid, and not such great shit, he thought, "Not cooking iodine out, cook longer". Still the same. "Raise temp a little, cook longer". Still the same. What the fuck? Swiss is perplexed, confused and furious, but most of all embarassed....Swiss is used to making THE killa'for Christ's sake. Gotta? Anybody? Swiss ain't down for sub-par product resulting from his craftsmanship. Please help.

When you have recrystallized and rinsed the crystals with acetone, then reduce the volume of the resultant rinse, does the liquid turn a progressively darker brown as it evaporates? When it has evaporated completely is there a brown oily, sweet smelling residue (sometimes with some meth still in it)?

If so, you may be dealing with aunt PEG.

The answer is, of course, xylene.
