please see my step by step process for purifying Coke and let me know if there is anything I’m missing or can improve upon!

1. Take cocaine, dissolve into distilled water and then filter through coffee filter. The cocaine is in the water


2. Then, add in baking soda slowly and use a PH strip to measure to get PH to 8.8-9. - make sure water is heated to around 150F

3. Filter with coffee filter again. Cocaine is now on the filter. Slowly heat in oven with oven cracked to speed up drying process.

4. Once dry and flakey, dissolve with anhydrous acetone 99.9% pure, until dissolved -NO HEAT

Then you have to resalt it With food grade citric acid. 99.9% pure

You want 1:0.46 ratio of grams of coke to citric acid powder.

5. In a separate glass, take citric acid and add just enough distilled water to saturate. Roughly 2ml of distilled water per 0.46 of citric, less as you go up in scale.

6. Take dropper and add citric acid solution to cocaine/acetone mix until PH is around 7, no lower than 6. Go slowly to avoid excess water. Once it stops reacting (cloudy and white crystals have settled), filter through coffee filter again and then throw filter away. Pour leftover liquid into a shallow glass Pyrex/pan and place in cracked over around 150F until water and acetone evaporate. Left over powder on glass should be purified cocaine.
 
What about any water and acetone soluble cuts that also precipitate out of the water along with your (crack) cocaine? Levamisole for example, and there's plenty more...

This isn’t intended to provide a 100% purity but to wash as much cut as possible using simple methods and accessible products. I’m definitely not a chemist but the idea is to turn to free base, wash and then resalt it back to cocaine citrate while washing again. So that you clear both water soluble and acetone soluble cuts while ending up with a product you can insufflate

I’m no chemist either.

I am a fan of acetone wash. But like you said. That only dissolves the acetone soluble cuts.

Ideally you would want to use both water and acetone. I would guess that will probably get you closer to 98%.

Once the acid is added to precipitate the salts I would think that would precipitate some cut also.

Who knows bottom line is “SWIM” would have to find out what the cutting agent(s) are.

I got an O straight off a freshly opened block today.
One hard ass shimmy chunk. And a pinch to hit the mark.

I cut off 7 to wash. pulse coffee until chucks are gone. If it’s over done it heats up and sticks to everything. Dump into 2cup Pyrex measuring cup.
Take 1cup Pyrex measuring out 150ml acetone about 15-20ml per G I go a hair heavy.

Get you a battery operated stainless steel mixing whisk. Go easy on the whisk full blast and you might soray your goods everywhere. Pinch shaft of whisk to slow it down some and control it.

Mix IN WELL VENTILATED AREA preferably a fume hood. For 5 minutes.
({[Make one the works well enough. Amazon box big enough for the lab set. Shop vac out secure hose I. Top of box. The window area that is open for your hands should be as small as you can get and work comfortably. Sealed all cracks and top hole when hose is in place. I have a 12’ hose. Goes out bathroom window to vacuum. I seal window crack and turn on vacuum. Check box for airflow with cig joints vape or incense. Make sure all air flows is through the front. Be fucking careful and smart if you smell a strong acetone smell cover dishes and stop to let room air out.
I’ve been using this method for a while. 4-5 boxes. Last over 2 years)}]

After 5mins let settle a few minutes. Then very very slowly pour off excess acetone and add another 159ml acetone. Mix again 5mins and pour in funnel with coffee filter. I use 2.

Super small particles will go through. I’ve been saving my spent acetone. I can swirl the jar and ultra fine particles stir up.

I leave it in the funnel for a few after it finishes draining. Turn vacuous and close bathroom up and turn vent fan on. When the filters feel crispy pull out of funnel and put on glossy paper plate take it to the freezer. Open filter on plate and let the freezer suck the moisture out a couple of hours.
When you take it out use a new plate that isn’t cold.
A cold plate can condensate moisture. Especially in humid climates.
Moisture is your enemy.
I leave the freezer plate in the freezer for next time.
Dumb on your favorite chopping surface. I use a heavy glossed plate with no decorative designs.
Chop up roughly spreading it out.
Making sure acetone smell is 100% gone. If I smell it even a tiny bit. I leave plate sitting out to evaporate the rest acetone. Going back to chop and mix occasionally.

* I want to try to use 1-5 micron chemist filter to capture the smallest particles building up in my used acetone.
I’ll probably try after this O

Just to see if it is worth it.

Last 6 months iv been getting 0.76 to 0.85 back after the wash.

It’s worth it to me. It way better feeling and less junk to rot your sinuses.

Be careful and have fun. !!
 
Interesting. I'm just learning now about the fact cocaine citrate and cocaine hcl exist, two different salt form and water soluble forms of cocaine. There is very limited information on the difference, if any, that this has on the drug effects when snorted. I've been trying to figure out what the deal was on this one bag of coke me and my friends did that was absolute fire. I don't believe it was anything but cocaine but it was just unbelievable how intense it was. Wish I had the resources/connections to experiment this kinda stuff haha.

There’s stuff on the dark web. I don’t like going. I’ll get a virus. Lol
There’s a lot of info on breaking bad websites.

On BB you can find all type of l literature
I don’t think you need to go on the dark web to see that you might need to use a screen mirroring website or something though play around it’s pretty safe website I think just don’t agree to be somebody’s chemical Mule or anything like that.
Lol
I did find an acetone wash video. I screen recorded it.

I have an issue myself. I’m trying to find answers to currently I have good stuff. It’s just got the ether smell to it. It’s fire. I washed it and even after washing it, it still smells of solvant. its not my solvent, my solvent goes away Evaporates. this ether/gas smell remains.
It’s not pleasant. It’s strong.

Ah I'm not motivated enough to ever bother, I'm a very casual user of anything besides weed plus the legal risks outweigh getting a slightly better buzz haha.

I did an acetone wash once on some good shit. Didn't lose much, maybe 10% at most from memory. It was just a gram bag. Came as relatively smelly clumps/rocks that crushed with a soft pillowy texture almost wet feeling but not. But smelt strongly of kerosene or some kind of fuel. I did a small line of it and the irritation to my nose a few minutes later was not terrible but definitely worse than other coke I have done. Which is why I washed it.

Same thing for me, even after an acetone wash the smell of fuel is still there. It's much less, but it was definitely still there. The irritation was substantially less but not as reduced or as good as good coke I've had elsewhere.

Looking back I should have tried a double wash. After all the first wash did get *most* of the smell out..

I think next time I'm on holiday in South America and get a big bag, ops method sounds pretty good. You are essentially turning it into crack, which gets most of the cuts and impurities out, then turning that crack back into cocaine, which in theory should be pretty damn pure.

exactly.
Hcl to base to hcl.
The process uses water as the solvent. Acetone only works on acetone solubles. The other way only gets the water solubles if you do both it should in theory be close to 98%.

hcl to base to hcl isn’t as straight forward.
I want to find a video. I’m a visual learner.

Maybe im misunderstanding but the process actually would be converting the cocaine into cocaine citrate rather than cocaine hcl would it not? Thats the part that interests me. There is little data on whether citrate vs hcl has any difference in effect.
 
Best way is to powder as finely as possible. Rinse with cold anhydrous acetone. Then into an A/B.

Hey reagent grade acids to precipitate the HCL out.

I’m no chemist. I may miss sleek on proper terminology and Tek.
I highly suggest checking out Breaking Bad Site.
