hey guys

i have access to ephedrine hydrochloride pills, 25mg perpill, theyre about 3mm thick and diameter about 6-7mm

im not in the US, im in asia- but i have a feeling 25mg ephedrine pills dont need extensive cleaning such using solvent boiling,

but does anyone have any idea how to clean these pills?

yep

used them myself

grind them up to fine dust with a coffee bean grinder

spoon the pill mass into a beaker

for every inch of pill mass add 2 inches of dry mineral turpentine100%,,then seal airtight and leave for 24 hours..

pour mineral turpentine through filter

chuck turps

spoon any pill mass in filter back into beaker

make sure pill mass is dry

pour in same ratio of dry freezing acetone.

stir for 3 mins,,

allow to sit for 5 mins

pour through filter and spoon pill mass back into beaker

chuck acetone

repeat acetone wash

after 2nd wash allow to dry fully

add 600ml of isopropyl,,or methanol,,or methylated spirits,,

stir for 3 mins

allow to sit for 5

pour through filter

save metho,,(we are presuming your using methanol)

spoon pill mass back into beaker

add 800 ml of metho

same procedure

add 1 litre of metho

same procedure

saving the metho each time

now add all the metho to one beaker

evaporate on hot plate at 50c

when first scale on surface of metho appears

allow to cool

place in freezer for 6 hours

pour of metho

theres your ephedrine

evap metho again till scale appears

freezer

etc

keep doing this till no more eph comes out

good luck

oh so its the same as for sudafed...

damn, i thought it only needed an alcohol pull followed by evaporation

i wish sudafed were as easy as what i wrote

eph hcl pills can be extracted with a simple A/B extraction.

They are not "locked" like sinus pills

There were alot of different types of those pills around i mean a 100 different brands.Take kirbs advice on extraction it works and he wont steer you in the wrong direction.Back in the day TMG used to get cross tops by the case.At that time a simple DH2O extraction followed by a recrystalazation was all that was needed to get your ephed hcl.Alas so many pills so little time.

the pills you have

have a filler thats like the plaster casts they put on broken arms,,lactose and cellulose,,they dont like an A/B before an acetone clean at least..

ive found it better to clean a bit more than a bit less

ahh shit i didnt read thru kirbys extraction post correctly... i jus saw the turps soak and assumed that it was a 'full turps cure' or something similar

alrighty thens, its all good

i can get a bottle of 1000 of those pills for about 6 US dollars

where are you mook..

what country

damn..

i wish i could get those oldtime pills

hell, all they needed was a dh2o water pull 3x and then a 3x methonol pull

damn, you are lucky

here in the sates it's a real pain now

lucky if i lived here... but unfortunately not

im here on holidays, trying to find a way to somehow get these back home, which is aust.

and im in, as kirby once put it "analroot java"

Have no idea what that last term meant but...

Once there was a place out of Canada who sold to the usa and they put the pills in another container with nice label and all and lots of cotton inside. They also used a seal around the lid--no big deal just a heated round seal that is easy to come by and they always got thru I am told

SWIM is in indonesia...

theres chemical shops everywhere that have iodine crystals, all the solvents u need etc...

but they dont have epsoms salts! hahaha so gud luck drying the solvents...

dont know about redphos.. doesnt matter cos SWIM isnt planning to cook here

SWIM got the 1000pills on prescription, had to convince the doctor... and he is going to go to another doctor tommorow to get another prescription
