Can you tell a speed pill by looking at it?

...i don't know about others but over the years there has been a great increase in the number of speed pills on the market, and it's really annoying for people like me who want the "real thing". I know others agree with this and therefore settle on buying an EZ tester.
But after having 100% confirmation on certain speed pills i have found a distinct aspect of their physical qualities that seperate them from the others. I donh't know if others out there agree with me or this has already been found but here goes.....
I have found that speed pills (majority of today made locally) have a slightly shiny surface when looked at on an angle against the light.
You all may think this is crazy or just made up crap, but after recent observation these pills have that slightly shined surface that i am talking about.
Does anyone else agree with me or are willing to check out. I know observation from the eye
is not 100%. But another way for people experienced is the "tongue test". hideous vile and wrongfully bitter taste is good.
Plus, does anyone do the foil thing. This is a simple test by scraping an amount of the pill on some foil like when you scrape for EZ tester, then burning a naked flame under the scrapings and checking what happens. If it burns normally red=safe, anything else like straight to black and smoke=???????
Foil test has been applied to definite "K" pills and just smoked off. Green euros burnt red very quickly.
Any thoughts on these comments.
Don't know if anyone has already posted this stuff.....

Before I even read your reply I was going to say:
"They're slightly shinier and look harder pressed"
But you beat me to it...
so yeah, I agree. BUT, you should still use an EZ tester, imagine knocking back a fab pill cause it looked a little shiny?
mona.
 
The logos always seem to be smaller than what they should???
And yes they are shiny...often without speckles. Why...dunno??
Never get speed pills so not an expert.
 
heheee..yeah, I'm prolly no authority on this either (i've just recieved my first ever lot of 'dud' pills (goey)you can imagine how fucking pissed off I was... NEVER had a bad pill (and this one wasn't even 'that' bad ... just not ecstasy huh?) we MUST remember to test our pills kiddies!!! (my tester hadn't arrived yet-so I have an excuse) BUT lucky for me, I have nice friends and they're swapping 'em for me

.. makes mona a happy girl)
anyway, yeah..these are shiny and hard and yeah smurf..the stamp is smaller (???)
cheers,
mona.
PS. I guess here is a lesson too... if you don't like the pill you get (for some reason you couldnt test it, blah di blah, and you think it's speed/dxm/whatever COMPLAIN!!! Make sure you tell the dd!!! Some of 'em do have consciences (specially if they're a friend) and 'might' do something about it. *nod*
PPS. Check out the brackets in this reply..??
 
i dont know about looking at em. you'd have to be experienced and have seen heaps o pills.
but i rekon u can get an idea by a taste test. like the pills that i've had have tasted different, and i've had some speed bombs, and some good stuff (MDMA,MDEA).
xcept thats only when chewing em up, so i spose its too late to back out after that. so i really had nothing useful to add after all... oh well. i'll go now. hehe

ok i have to agree you are on to something here but what i dont want people thinking is that this is a rule.
remember the original kick ass white/grey fish? they were shiny li'l bastards if i remember...
all i'm saying is do not dismiss or encourage a pill simply by how it looks. ez-test is the only way to be sure.
admittedly if a pill has a lousy press and is crumbly it probably is a local but there have been some very well pressed bunk pills as well.
i keep seeing people reading a post like this and quoting it as gospel later. not people from this forum, who are generally more skeptical and more prepared to look into things for themselves, but i keep seeing things on other boards and sites where people say "the reds ones have MDMA in them and the yellow bits are smack" and keep repeating it coz someone said so. i'm not saying that this idea is as mis-informed as that, im just saying some people are prepared to repeat everything they read without questioning it.
back to the original topic: it makes me wonder about the binding agents used in thiese pills. could a local pill presser be using a consistent binding agent that gives a shiny appearance? could all these rip offs come from the same source?
 
My experiences in Melb. are that 70%+ of all pills tested this year are speed. Characteristics are usually shiny and hard and some fuckin color, orange or green or yellow and they usually have speckles. Most if not all MDMA pills (Black test) have been white/off white or slightly grey. This has just been my experiences lately. It sux hard core as the quality l believe has really gone down.....If you want speed bombs plenty around and l firmly believe you pay for what you get. So yeah even some pills l have had tested purple were just shit.
 
The last speed pills I had were *dull*, speckled and crumbley. This kind of goes against the afore mentioned. I've had speed pills that have been shiney..but how can you tell?.. Jeez you just gotta ez test.
 
...glad 2 see some of you guys agree with me. Not to say that this is a "sure" way of distinguishing between speed pills and others, but with some 7 years of experience, i thought that this should be said for others. It can be used for a quick check, and the logo thing is also of some concern of recent times. This too has been noted by my fellow pill partners.
It must be said that the taste of MDMA pills is distinct, but whether your DD lets you do this is another story!
One thing's for sure, 'long live the EZ-tester'....

Does anyone know anything about sleeper's foil test? ie looking at colour of smoke when you heat it? I'm sure a lot of you peeps would be interested.
 
i've seen speed pills that are tightly packed, as well as ones that are crumbly as.. don't forget that most "speed" pills don't contain speed as such but some sort of amphetamine similar.. so the thickness/hardness/tightness of the powder can be different..
usually the taste test is the best.. find a pill that tests black, taste a bit of it, then taste a bit of a speed pill.. and keep those two tastes in your memory and apply them next time you have no ez-tester and only your taste test to tell between pills..
 
ok eTARD, and others out there, this is not, i REPEAT, not to be used for certain as 100% acurate testing.
I thought this was old news, just goes to show how old i'm getting i suppose! Was told to do this years ago with original doves of 94, still my true loves after all these years.
Scrapings of pill (like doing EZ tester) are placed on shiny side of small piece of foil and burnt with lighter underneath foil. This is not a test of whether you have MDMA/MDEA/MDA etc. Hope this is quite obvious.
This method was introduced to me years ago to distinguish bunk pills that had just begun to arise in the market and had people like my fellow pillers thinking twice about dumping pills ie. are these safe?
Although i resort to this method on the odd occassion these days, i still find that a good pills scrapings will burn off bright red. If you just get sizzling noises or no clean combustion, ie.red, then there are ???.
I don't think binders will have great affect on this cause pills are binded with mostly the same shit.
I will investigate this topic further.
BTW. EZ testers distinguish MDMA pills by turning black, purple by the safrole content in pill chemical. Safrole being a key ingredient in synhesis of MDMA. I think it will be quite difficult to produce an EZ tester to distinguish MDA/MDMA/MDEA and the rest, cause they all use safrole in build up!
One thing for certain is that taste will never be forgotten once a good proper pill is administered. The taste is hideous and won't go away too quickly.
And Johnboy, the last fish i had wasn't shiny but we won't argue about that! Heard from a DD that a new batch of imported seafood is on the way very soon, if u know what i mean. Said that these will please the ppl once again.
....back soon children.
