Harm Reduction Cold Water Extraction (CWE) Mega Thread & FAQ v2.0

Mine is codeine/paracetamol mix. I’m doing as you mentioned but not even bothering with the sludge. It could just be the tablet coating making the water cloudy but I’m just worried about sticking too much paracetamol in my body/ cheers for the reply !
Cloudy is NOT good. This is just my personal opinion. But I ALWAYS ran my Hydrocodone completely CLEAR !!

Please BE CAREFUL to stay HEALTHY !!
 
It’s strange as I’ve tried it a few times and it’s coming cloudy, tried with more water, less water, starting with warm water and room temperature water and I’ve tried doubled up coffee filters as well as tripled……any ideas greatly appreciated. It’s codeine/paracetamol 30mg/500mg tablets, 20 at a time.
 

I think the filter is probably your problem, get lab filters or maybe filter through a t-shirt before running it through the coffee filter.

Tried a T-shirt first which did catch a lot of it then the two filters but it’s still getting through. I only used 10 tablets this time so at least if I get most of it then I know it’s not too much. I’ve also noticed filtering it twice (which I’ve done before with coffee filters) I’m losing a lot more so almost not worth it
 
I've been doing this method with 10/325 vicodins and get pretty good results. However, I like to dry it into a powder also.

My question is, and I think I already know the answer, but when I dry a batch I get a fair amount of off-white, sticky clumps in it.

Is this the binder that is used to keep the pills together? If so, should I just throw the sticky parts of it out? I know I'm getting most of the acetaminophen out, but not sure about this.
 
any harm reduction tips in terms of drinking this afterwards? Anything you can't mix it with?
 
This reminds me of the time I crushed up (28) 5/325 MG Percocets into a pile and dumped it into a glass of water, which I proceeded to chug. I started to think, perhaps, I fucked up once my vision was a blur / almost non-existent and I had a sharp pain in my side. I was too embarrassed to contact medical intervention. I just rode it out and somehow, the next morning, I woke up just fine. I'm convinced anyone else would have been dead.
 
I started with 50 ml water and 26 oxy 10/325. I ended up with 100ml semi clearish hazy, end product. Reason is I added more water to the slurry in the coffee filter because 1)it looked like it stopped dripping 2)didnt want to waste the remnants of mix in beaker #1. I used a pill press to powder the pills prior to adding to water. I'm wondering A) did I not leave the mixture to settle long enough B) did I not leave the slurry to drain through the filter long enough. I may have jumped the gun as this is my first CWE. I took the filter off the second beaker and squeezed it out. There was alot of junk left in the filter and as imperfect as my effort was I'm fairly sure I removed a good chunk of binders and acetominophin. Any input would be appreciated.
 
let’s say I cwe 15 pills and make myself a nice suspension. How long does the suspension stay good? If I kept it refrigerated would it last a while?
 
What are people's opinion on using board shorts for filtering?

Also I tried extracting 105mg the other day and felt very little effects after consuming and my friend also said the same thing, we both have never had codeine before so it wouldn't be a tolerance issue. We did filter it through twice to be safe, is this okay to do? What would be a recommended dose for my next batch? is 200mg too risky?
what the fuck, board shorts? I looked that up and do you really mean, a pair of shorts??????

holy shit just realized this is from almost 17 years ago

well how were your effects?

I just cwe'd 24/26 i forget, Tylenol 1s which here in Ontario are 8mg codeine/15mg caffeine/300mg acet- I used 50ml of water at about 110degrees farenheit to dissolve the fully powdered pills.
I then mixed that inside of a pyrex placed into a larger bowl, of which is filled with ice water.
I stirred my dissolved pill/warm water mix in the pyrex dish occasionally while also occasionally replacing the ice in the large bowl.
This process took about maybe 30 mins to get my main mixture cold to the touch. At which point i removed the pyrex dish containing my main mix, from the large icewater bowl.

In the meantime I took a coffee filter, soaked it then squeezed the water out then fit it onto a large mug.Ready to filter mixed solution.

I poured the mix into the filter. Occasionally with a soft plastic baby food spoon, I grazed the coffee filter, mixing the solution in the filter to try to ensure flow.

Eventually, I took two more coffee filters, removed the one holding the mixture from the mug, placed it carefully into the two new filters and squeezed as much water out of that shit as possible.

After squeezing, I was left with a cloudy solution containing less ACET than the roughly 7kmg introduced.... all of the roughly 375mg of caffeine and hopefully at least 75 percent of the introduced 200mg of codeine.

I did a second filter to try to get the mixture to be less cloudy but that didnt really work. So i went ahead, and boofed a few mls and took the rest as a shot, chaserd with peach juice.


its now about 30 mins after. I think I probably just shat out at least some of what was boofed before it could all be absorbed...

idk

overall, I think I feel the slightest muscle relaxation... a strong gut flutter/butterfly effect from the caffeine likely... not much effects.... a biit of the familiar warmth and relaxation in my arms and legs... but not much effect yet if at all.
