Another coke Q

[Wonderbread]

I have searched the archives, but found nothing here or on Erowid that is static for this.
Coke quality, how can you compare one guys coke to another guys coke, in quality that is?
Does the spoon + baking soda + coke and a lighter seem to be the best method for comparison?
Cold water solubility also sounds pretty workable?
Any other methods that would decide a winner in a coke dealers pissing contest? I would say just rail a bunch, but one may claim the other cuts with uppers, the reason for my next question.
What possible coke like stimulants might be used as adulterants?
I know nummys aren't terribly effective in determining quality, not sure what could be tho? This isn't a "is it good?" test, its a "whose got the more solid connect" contest.
Thank yas

Spoon + baking soda = coke makes freebase. You cant really use this to determine quality.
Cold water extraction wouldnt be very effective if the cut dissolves in cold water. Many do.
If someone's coke is cut with something active like an upper....well that's not even cut, that's called laced. And if you think that it is even remotely possible you or your friend should get a new source.
The best tests for quality are to look at it, taste it, and try it.

What could could be the "inventive" drug addicts hot plate? Would some sort of steamed water and a thermometer with an aluminum pan above it work?
Now when you say the coke doesnt burn\melt until a certain temperature, but the cut will, how can you differentiate? Has anyone actually tried this method?
I tried it once but there was no safe and accurate temperature gauge, I earned a pile of yellow gloop. Numbed the bejeezus out of your mouth tho, couldn't do much to it snorting wise.
Is coke soluble in acetone? Could one perhaps put 1/2 gram into a glass of water, filter out ghetto cut, dry, then put remainder into acetone, and maybe possibly remove some water soluble only cutters? Or would most of those also dissolve in acetone?
One last thing, if you put 1/4g into a spoon, a bit of baking soda and water, then held a lighter under it, wouldn't the reaction only take place with real coke? i.e. the purer the coke, the larger the tannish glop?
Thank yas, just trying to find a way to really
a) test quality legitimatly and effeciently
b) purify coke as much as possible.
all your feedback is much appreciated

your suppposed to put a very small amount on the hot plate, and it should vaporize in stages,(assuming you dont have pure coke) at 100 degrees youll see the additive smoke up and vaporize if you see alot of the powder do this you know you have shitty coke. sorry but thats hard to describe does that make any sense?

best way to purify coke?
take a gram of coke, mix with 10 ml of water, add 10 ml of ether, shake for 5 min, let settle, using a glass eyedropper extract the top layer off and onto a mirror or pane of glass, put a heat lamp over it let it dry and you have your purified cocaine freebase.

im not 100% positive on the measurements above, but if you were to save the water layer and add more ether and repeat the extraction/drying process you would be sure to get all the coke out

^^That's not gonna work. The coke is gonna stay dissolved in the water layer which will be at the bottom. You have to knock the HCl molecule off of the coke so that it turns inot the freebase and goes up into the top, ether layer. You can use ammonia or baking soda for this.

 

[rollinwith2glostix]

oh really?
i stand corrected!
what if you were to add a couple drops of muriatic acid to the water and a few grains of red evil lye, let the reaction happen, then add the ether and shake??
i only suggest this because i read about it in an extraction synth from vicks inhalers.

 

[Effigy]

No that wouldn't work at all. The hydrochloric acid (HCl) would react with the Red Devil Lye (NaOH) to form sodium chloride (NaCl) which would be completely useless for what your trying to do.
You kinda have the idea. Forget the hydrochloric acid though...and also forget the whole vicks inhaler bullshit cause it is exactly that: bullshit.
Dissolve the coke in water and throw in a base. Red Devil Lye is not a good base to use here for reasons that at the moment I forget. Use Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). The sodium molecule will grab onto the HCl from the coke molecule and thus creating cocaine freebase. Cocaine freebase is not soluble in water. It will float. It will dissolve in ether so when you add that the coke will go into the top layer which is the ether.

keep posting post like that and you'll be a bluelighter in no time!
thanks for the new info...there is much to chemistry i have yet to learn.

Thanks.
