Just thought I'd post what I've learnt from personal experience. . they dont seem to have been mentioned anywhere before..
1. Ice doesn't stuff up nurofen plus extractions, like some extraction techniques on the net said... Just drop 4 ice cubes into your warm nurofen plus/water mix & stir till theyve melted.. I usually let it settle for a coupla minutes after this for the reassurance of seeing all the crap fall out to the bottom of the glass.
(For the record I use about 150ml water for 300mg codeine/24nurofen plus)
This speeds it up to almost instantaneous (the biggest problem IMO was waiting for water to cool for 30mins+)
2. The BEST filter ever, is a 'glasses bag' - I'm not sure how common these are, I have glasses for reading and besides their hard plastic case they also come in a little cloth bag made from some sort of microfibre. . . this thing doesnt let ANYTHING other than liquid through. . you can squeeze it as hard as you want to speed up the filtering. Make sure you wet it with water first & put a little bit of clean water (doesnt have to be icey cold, I just use regular tap water) through it after filtering (not much at all . . like . . 10ml or so) so that less of your precious codeine-water gets stuck in the cloth
3. Put cordial in it. . . no more crappy taste! (This one seems damn obvious. . but the amount of times i read about people complaining of the taste!)
- I find orange or tropical works better than red/green.
Enjoy!
Hopefully these tips haven't been a complete waste of time 8(
