I just wanted to know when I'm cwe a bunch of percocets, after I crush it up, add water then freeze it,... when I take it out of the freezer I get a liquid and some thick white stuff at the bottom. If I just pour the liquid into another glass without using any kind of filter and leave the thick white stuff in the first glass is that good enough?

When I think about it I think it would be fine, I maybe losing some oxycodone but not a lot, and I may be getting more acetominophen than if I used a filter but still not too much, so is thwould this work ok?
 
It's been a while since I've done a CWE, but I don't you're supposed to freeze the liquid. You just want to lower the liquid's temperature since APAP is nearly insoluble at lower temperatures.

It's hard to say how much Oxycodone you're losing. Why not just go buy a box of coffee filters for a couple bucks?
 
Ah, sorry, I didn't mean I was freezing it, just meant I put in the freezer to lower the temperature and eventually there's liquid and some solid white stuff in the glass. Is most of the apap in the solid white stuff, so it would be safe to just pour the liquid into another glass and drink it?
 
It's "good enough" but you are not getting every last drop of "good" stuff if you do it this way. Do you not even have like an old Tee-shirt, or rag or anything you can use to filter? Basically you want to remove all of the solid, particulate matter, and leave only the liquid, which is where the active drug is. When I haven't had any coffee filters, or (even better) cheese cloth or muslin, I have used old ratty tee shirts to filter CWEs.
 
docbp87 covered it quite well. If you are planning on doing a cold water extraction, having the few proper (cheap) materials together is not only necessary, but VERY simple and cost effective. For a filter, you can use many things. We're drug addicts, man, improvise ! Heh. If you don't have coffee filters, you can use an old t-shirt. (Which in my opinion, works even BETTER than coffee filters.

Letting your cooled mixture set for long enough, as to where the solid APAP is clearly separated from the water/opiate on top of it, simply skimming off the water and leaving the solid behind will by definition create a suitable CWE. Now, you'll certainly lose some of the opiate and possible get more APAP than you originally intended.

You should check out (HR) Cold Water Extraction Megathread v2.0 For all (plus more) of your CWE needs.
 
It will work but I am the type that wants to get every last drop of the good stuff. With how easy/cheap it is to do, I always filter.
 
I use the CWE method quite often, and yes you can do it that way. Once you crush the pills up add water an shake it up. Then you put it in the freezer, the apap goes to the bottom and you should have a layer of clear liquid (might be a little cloudy but mainly clear) floating above the white apap in the bottom of your cup. If you can get the some what clear liquid out with out filtering it, this is what you want, even without filtering it the amount of apap in the cloudy water is negligible. The only opiates your missing out on is if you did use for example a coffee filter, you can squeeze out what ever liquid is trapped in the white apap solution. However the majority of the good stuff you want is in the clear to cloudy liquid floating above the white crap. With that said, if you crushed up 10 10mg pills to do your extraction, without filtering you'll probably get 85-90mg's out of the 100mg's, if you filter an squeeze all the liquid out you yield more like 95-to almost 100mg. All in all not filtering it wouldn't waste that much, if you do it right, but filtering will give you the best results. Hope that helps you out. =D
