2nd time a charm!

SWIM made chili from which goods were aquired!

SWIM is tempted to not even count first attempt, as flask broke in the initial minutes of reaction because of stoopid addition of marbles to help stirring.

but now, it's all good!

process as follows:

4.16gm. pseudo freebase = 5.07gm. Hcl

3.55gm. MBRP

5.57gm I2

mixed RP and pseudo well in baggie, poured in 250ml. erl, added 1ml.dH2O (to tone down overt freebase reaction), placed in freezer for a half hour. set up ice bath. removed from freezer, added I2, added 3ml. more dH2O, afixed stopper/hose/balloon jamie,taped well.

waited for the fireworks.

saw fuming, when it became yellowish, immeresed in ice bath, kept dipping in and out of ice bath to contol any pos. overreaction.

when it stopped reacting at room temp. switched to dipping in and out of hot H2O bath to reinitiate reaction, when this petered out switched to hot plate w/ water bath (next time will use oil, SWIM was worried about breaking flask again so, wanted no probs reclaiming ing.).

slowly raised temp. to 150F for 1hr.

slowly raised temp. to 185F for 12hr.s

had to stop cook for personal reasons, left as was and restarted a few days later at 185F for 5 or 6 hr.s.

slowly raised temp. to 210F to make sure it ran to compleation, no signs it didn't. no sticking of ing. on bottom of flask.

let cool. removed cond.

diluted w/ 'bout 5 times as much dH2O as RXN fluid. RP dropped right out. also, rinsed RP in filter w/ hot dH2O.

boiled for 10 or 15 min. to clear iodine/iodides.

added NP (vm&p), two marbles (to prevent bumping) and brought to boil.

let cool some and added to sep. to remove NP.

added more warm NP, basified.

seperated NP, pulled w/ warm NP again.

placed based honey aside for use in a later extended third pull.

put two combined NP pulls in sep. and titrated once (still have two more to do).

evaped in pie plate on very low heat and acetone crashed at the end of drying (what a thrill to see them crystals form before the eyes!).

let dry, chopped, and then acetone flashed, let dry.

was left w/ 1.5gm of product from the first titration of the first two honey pulls (sure to get alot more from the rest of the workup later, will update then). SWIM at this point didn't have the patience for a dual solvent recrys., not a prob., right?

woo hoo! well worth all the research and time and the supplies!

sampled product mostly by toking, a little by snorting. .5gm. kept SWIM going for 24hr.s! self- sufficiency rules!

my blessings to all on Totse who took the time to help a SWIM along, thanx! knowledge is power. Power to the people!

couple of questions though, balloon never inflated, SWIM's cond. tube is sorta long, is this why?

also, RP left in filter after pretty good (SWIM thinks) hot dH2O washing has some white flecks on the top, what are they (iodides?)?

Yeah the balloondidn't probably inflate if the hose was rather long in length. Mainly because the size of the cook here was so small. I've seen a cook using a long ass hose to a super sized punch balloon stretch that balloon so far it popped and exploded with smoke!!!

As to the mystrey white specks that's what you call a good sign the reduction was complete. As to their exact composition that remains up for debate in my book. But they are a god sign the reduction was complete.



Jam.

And good job a_a!!

Always good to hear of the ones that didn't do nothing but produce some fire-ass dope!!

Jam.

thanx for the congrats, Jam. so tickled that SWIM can create his own stimulant; no more wallet denting. happy happy joy joy!

about the first shared source: not a prob getting acetic anhydride, ammonium chloride, ethyl ether, and chloroform from them as well is it (for that opium potentiation we conversed about), or should SWIM use the other source (if they have it)? and thanx for the trust supplying the other source too, have quite a bit (for SWIM) of I2 still, but will make use of the other source when it's gone.

oh yeah, what's the deal w/ phos pentoxide, can it can b used like the phos acid

actually the dry white spots around the flask and condenser were probaly from the cook being too dry at the end. actually i believe that it is from a certain gakk or additive that is in the pills with the fact that the reaction was too dry at the end. swia has seen the same thing in the past year or so with his batches as well. try cleaning the pills some more and if you are going to do a long wet then you will need to add water more often than you did swim believes. swim could be wrong cause he is a master of the short dry not the long wet. but this is what swim thinks/

thanx for the info, 'melt, but you didn't answer the question SWIM asked; it being:

in the filter of RP after the honey filtration and hot dH2O wash of the said RP in filter, there are a just a few, (could almost count 'em) little grain like, off white specs.

just wondering what they are/indicate.

SWIM had this occour on a few occasions and was puzzeled as well. turns out it was little teeny bits of the white rubber stopper.
