Another thing about t-shirts, I have a lot of experience using them to filter other stuff and they also get clogged like coffee filters the only difference is that the t-shirt getting clogged makes it a better filter. The coffee filter was a good filter to begin with. The t-shirt will initially let through a lot of particles until some of the holes get clogged with undissolved pill and starts filtering better.
Every who says there CWEs are safe also has to keep in mind that ibuprofen can be taken at toxic doses for a long time (in some people it seems) before they finally fuck their guts and vital organs. The fact that you don't die 30 minutes after ingestion does not mean what your doing is safe in the long term. These are very serious disease that CWE user are at risk of and at such a young age. Some of the shit people post in this thread makes me a bit pissed of because I worry for the younger version of myself reading some of the posts.
This shit is puts you at risk even when you do it properly, the more stupid of us don't care and that doesn't bother me too much, its the uninformed kids that I worry about and this forum has them by the bucket load.
I think we need a qualified moderator to keep this particular thread in check because there is some real dumb dangerous shit that keeps popping up, over and over, seemingly from the same people who should know better.
Its good to see you being very cautious however I'm a very scientific guy and prefer research done on things. We have discussed the T-shirt process thoroughly and in the next few days I will be doing a bit of research and calculations. Its really important which I havnt seen anyone mention is that one needs to use WARM water to dissolve the pills then GRADUALLY cooling the solution down until it is very cold.
Ibuprofen is a white powder with a melting point of 74-77° C and is very slightly soluble in water (< 1 mg/mL) and readily soluble in most organic solvents. Now I use 3ml for every pill usually which is roughly about 90ml of water. The solubility is 1mg for every ml of water making the maximum amount of ibuprofen in the water 90mg which will be deducted from the end result once I have established the exact weight of the filtered ibuprofen and other inactives such a fillers and starch etc etc.
Filtration using a very fine tight knit/woven T-shirt
Completion of the filtration leaving behind Ibuprofen and other inactives
In the beginning before the filtration it contained 6000mg Ibuprofen - 90mg (that dissolved) = 5910mg. A panafen plus pill weighs 667mg. So 667mg - 12.8mg (codeine) - 200mg (ibuprofen) = 454.2mg of other inactives x 30 pills =
13 626mg + ibuprofen= 19626mg.Now bear in mind that ibuprofen very very slightly soluble in water so basically no issues there like I mentioned earlier the solution contains roughly 90mg of ibuprofen. So after keeping the filtered contents I will dry it out and see exactly how much the weight will be. Another thing to note I prob lost about a gram give or take due to it sticking to the filter and etc. Lets see how close the figure gets to roughly 18 000mg.
Another thing to note, Im not exactly sure how soluble all the other ingredients are but I imagine a fair few of them are pretty water soluble too. Which would also bring down the 18 000mg target. When I have a bit more spare time I will conduct another experiment where I will evaporate the solution and see how much Ibuprofen + inactives are left, and can incorporate those figures into teh calculations as well.
Lets just say I evaporated my solution (its a bit cloudy but not because of the ibuprofen itself after filtration) id imagine I wouldnt end up with more than half gram of solids (which I have tried long time ago) and lets just assume that all of it was ibuprofen thats about 2.5 pills. There are ibuprofen pills out there that contain 800mg each and 2.5 pills of P+ would be the appx recommended dosage.
