Cocaine Crack Cocaine - Freebase Megathread

[thenozzle]

Quick question: While smoking some crack, everything seemed to be going normally, but on some hits, something very odd happened:
It just started crackling and bubbling, like bubbling a lot, almost like the way water boils, and it suddenly loses taste of numbness/crack, and just tastes like very humid air.
It seems to happen randomly, but i think every time has been when the flame goes completely inside the tube,rather than under or in front of it.
It completely ruins the experience,because now youve already taken the hit but dissatisfied because it was ruined.
Any ideas on what this could be or why?

Smoking crack out of a "rose" pipe?

Ok I'm gonna make this short and sweet.

I've been toying with crack for the past month every so often as long as I have some opiates for the come down because I enjoy the crack high for about 5 minutes but HATE the comedown.

My method of smoking was bending the top of a soda can, making a shotgun much like a weed pipe/can, poking holes in the top and ashing a cigarette on the holes and smoking it much like an oldschool weed pipe. Method works fine but I've heard of the dangers of smoking from aluminum and I feel like I'm definately wasting a little when I do it this way.

I went to the local deli/cornerstore and asked for a "rose pipe" also called a "love rose" and it's a glass cylinder with a little rose in it sold as a crack pipe. I've seen somebody smoke out of one before and it looked easy. The lady kept asking "do you want the skin?" (thats what i think she was saying idk) and the way she kept asking made me wonder if I have only part 1/2 of this pipe and I need the other half. At first when I looked at it I thought "how am I going to smoke this without it sucking into the back of my throat?" so I put some in and just sort of heated the bottom and it evaporated quickly and I didn't get a hit. Finally I put the biggest part of the rock in and did the same and I got a hit but I think I did it wrong.

I can only find information on how to smoke on top of aluminum "chase the dragon" style.

If anyone can help me out that'd be great you can close the thread once I get an answer because I've gotten a lot of heat for asking questions that have already been answered by some posters. Thanks!

You should use a brillo pad inside the glass stem and some cigarette ashes to catch the liquid.

And that's why crack and heroin use go hand and hand. A lot of people I know end up using crack and then get involved with heroin to help their comedown from crack. (Even my brother who was a crack user back when he was 18 and early 20's he started using heroin now and then. Luckily he didn't really enjoy it and stopped there although it did help his comedown from crack.) Or some heroin addicts start using crack because a dope dealer usually is selling crack too....

In the end I advise no crack user to use heroin to help their comedown from crack. Cause if you keep that shit up sooner rather than later you will now not only have a crack habit but a heroin habit on top of that.... Just dealing with the comedown of crack is better than heroin and to be honest a crack comedown wasn't that bad to me.

Of course i would never 'recommend' doing a drug, especially along with another one, but its something that is common because it can work well. One thing I would say is that, if you dont even enjoy the H that much (kinda like "eh its alright but i wouldnt prefer it"), and because its not your DOC, then thats better because you wouldnt get addicted to something you dont even want to do. However, if you do decide to, dont do it every single comedown, switch off between enduring it most of the time, and doing the combo only occasionally. That way you make sure you wont get the physical addiction.

^yeah but its easier said than done.

Quick answer is: 1) Find a "brillo pad", the chore boy brand is best, and often times when you buy the "love rose" they will have the gold, copper brillo pads as well.
2) Cut about a 2in by 1 in rectangle out of it, and hold it over a flame (gas stove works best, but candle/lighter etc...works too) It will glow red hot, maybe see smoke come off,and it will be totally black. This is so that you dont inhale the burning copper coating,cuz trust me, it fucks up your lungs.
3)Remove everything from glass so its only tube. Then, ball up the brillo,and shove it into one end,maybe |--| that far in (quarter to half inch)
4)Put small rock sitting on top of brillo(aka screen) and hold it up at an angle so it doesnt fall out.
5) hold lighter about 1/2 in underneath to begin melting it,and slowly roll back and forth so it is evenly heated.
6)once melted,bring it level, and put mouth on opposite end. Begin inhaling and tilt down at 45degree angle,while holding lighter just a lil in front of tube, so flame doesnt touch screen,but the heat is pulled in still.
7)Swithc between putting flame in front of tip, and pulling away,every 1 or 2 secs, and inhale as slowly as you can.
8)At end, come up and point all the way up and finish inhaling it.
9) Hold for 15-30secs, and slowly exhale.

For a really in-depth how-to, read first post on the Crack megathread: http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/505283-Crack-MEGA-THREAD-anyone-got-a-brillo-pad

10)The brillo stops it from sucking into your mouth,which is how some crackheads get fucked up teeth,cuz hot molten cocaine isnt really good in your mouth.
And best part of using the glass tube/screen, is you build up resin that you can smoke after sack is gone. Any other questions, i would post in the "Crack Megathread"

^yeah but its easier said than done.

If you keep crack habit under control,and not too often, then even if u did H every time, it wouldnt be often enough to get addicted physically. Heroin (depending on the person) supposedly takes like a week or two of intermediate to heavy use to do that.
But, i agree, youre right. One cannot understand the difficulty of controlling your drugs, instead of vice versa, until youve been there.

Btw, xstayfadedx, i notice you seem to reply to my posts fairly often. Have any idea the answer to my question, like 2 posts ^^up, about the weird bubbling?

Edit: Nvm, I hypothesized that it could be cause by tilting the pipe too far downward, and the liquid runs out and into the lighter flame. Still unsure though.

I prefer the foil method because it lasts much longer, Ill be smoking for hours from just half a gram of rock.
But you can do it only with good stuff that burns slowly, you'll know because it will stay clear and not turn brown and give off that nauseating acrid smell. And of course you can recuperate all the resin from the tinfoil straw like with H.
Of course the effects are much milder.

The crucial thing with using a pipe is to use cigarette hash on top of the screen while its still flaky and only slightly pressed. This allows the rock to heat up and melt otherwise it just disappears down the stem.

 

[tricomb]

I thought crack required direct flame.

 

[sarasluv]

thats what i thought for a long time too, but vaporizing it works quite well

 

[tricomb]

I'm guessing you apply enough heat to mimic a flame, but you have more control over the rise/fall of temperatures due to the foil?

I'm a pro with foil never with cocaine.. but ice or H, I can make a tiny ass bit go a long way

 

[sarasluv]

Its just like H but the evaporating point is a bit higher and the consistancy more viscose, so you have to hold the flame slighly longer but not much otherwise it burns. No bellringer effects, but for me its fine since i dont like the harsh comedown from the pipe.
Lile i said before though it all depends on the quality, if it turns brown right away i thing you are just wasting it. It needs tio stay clear to the very last drop

 

[tricomb]

Yeah I gave up IV cocaine a long time ago, cocaine doesn't appeal to me anymore. I've never heard of it being effectively smoked on foil though that's very interesting.

 

[sarasluv]

this way i can actually enjoy it and not have to deal with the horrible comedown, especially since i kicked the H and am now tapering off suboxone.
I just sit at home watch a movie, blog or whatever and hit the foil. For me me it was a brilliant discovery since with the same amount i can go on for much much longer

 

[MyHondasFaster]

I always liked the process of setting up my stem after taking the first hit. Cutting the chore boy, burning the copper off, getting it just right into the pipe. and then changing it every 5-6 hits so it would have that nice black oil on it that would harden up when you pushed it out, I would save those for last. The bellringing kept me hooked. I still to this day cannot find one feeling that even comes close to the first bellringer hit I ever took. sorry for the reminisce, I havent used cocaine in almost 7 years. Also, I have a few questions about the way I cooked up for a long time. I never bought rock ready to smoke, I always bought powder and cooked it myself. My stuff always seemed to be more oily than a rock. I mean it was solid, but it didnt have that click when you break a cookie like ive seen some other people cook up. Was it the coke, or was it my technique? I mostly used a shot glass in the microwave to cook, or cooked it on a spoon, using the tiniest amount of baking soda.

 

[TheMoney]

Should you be getting the same amount of smoke from a glass stem as a pipe with ashes or a can with ashes? I feel like I'm wasting what I'm doing right now. I got a glass stem, put in steel cleaning pad/brillo pad but not copper. I keep taking out some, but idk, it doesn't seem like it's working.

 

[MyHondasFaster]

You should be getting the most from the stem. I never used brillo pad, I used Chore boy, and cut out about one inch by one inch section of chore boy, twist it in the middle, hold with a pair of scissors. run a lighter over it getting rid of all the shiny gold. then unravel it, and fold it half, then roll it, it should be loose, push it in your pipe, and tighten it up a little using your push from the other side. I always liked to use a wood push,. but never scissors, theyll break your pipe for sure.

 

[tricomb]

I liked the brillo because it would collect the resin so well. But I was never a regular user of freebase or crack.

I got like 1, half decent hit using the stem, and can't seem to get any resin. I don't get it. I can get good airflow through it, I heat the crack up first, start to melt it, then turn the pipe up, like perpendicular (I tried both up and down, there was no difference), to take hits with the flame more directly on it on and off. I didn't get any hit. I have no idea why. I've smoke crack several times from my glass weed pipe with ashes, got way more smoke. IDK what I'm doing wrong.


This is basically exactly what my set-up looks like

I'm almost positive I'm hitting the crack right, letting it melt in, but I'm not getting hits? IDK, the end I'm 'hitting' from is like a bong-stem end, but it isn't that wide. I don't know why that would effect the hit I'm getting.


Like, I need to be heating it lightly for around 10 seconds, have it almost all melted in but a little still visible, then rip it? No cracking until you take your hit?

 

[tricomb]

The narrower the pipe the better IMO. That looks pretty wide for a bowl.
