ok so normally i would have a very high tolerance to any opiates and ive also been on suboxone for a couple yrs so would it be pointless for me to do a CWE on 50 mg of hydrocodone..?
 
I don't really understand the question. Cold water extraction is used to get rid of the acetomenophen that unfortunately is always attached to our friendly opiates. I have noticed that a successful CWE does get me higher, probably just because it's in liquid form. I would assume, at 50mg of hydrcodone you will be taking too much acetomenophen, unless you do a CWE. The lowest amount of acetomenophen is 325, meaning at the least you will be consuming 1625 mg of acetomenophen (that is if you have 10-325 hydrocodones), which in my opinion is too much. Especially if you are going to be doing this frequently. Take care of your liver! You only get one.
 
no im planning on doing the cwe.. and i noticed you said you felt like you get a little higher.. i just wasnt gonna waste it but ya i think im gonna try it any tips
 
what would be better as a filter some strong ass bounty paper towels or just like a hanes black beater you know like a undershirt..?
 
I wrote a step by step process a while back to help people do this. It's super effective, I have done it successfully many many times. Would you like for me to post it here?

An undershirt is better. The paper towels soak up too much and become saturated very easy. The best thing to do is soak a shirt in cold water first and then use it.
 
the only part confusing me is some ppl say use hot water first and then use cold water.. and also some say some method about puttin in freezer for a min
 
What's the deal with your suboxone use? That's probably going to be a bigger factor in the high then the slight loss you may take from doing the CWE improperly.
 
i lost my gpa this weekend and ive been sick of the sub for along time... but also my system cleans out so fast so im not really worried about the blocking effect
 
Things you will need: Two cups, water, a T-shirt, a refrigerator, a rubber band, and a thick card (credit card would work).

Steps:
1. Crush the pills you want to extract the acetaminophen from into a very fine powder. A good way to do this is break the pills up into small fragments and then "twist" the card in a circular manner over the pills. (Hopefully that makes sense). Be sure you are on a hard surface (important). Also make sure the powder is as fine as it can be, no chunks!

2. Fill a cup with about 1 to 1 1/2 inches of warm water. (The less water the better, you just have to make sure everything is COMPLETELY dissolved and that the water is not saturated). You will have to increase the volume of water depending on how much powder you have.

3. Place the solution into the freezer. Since opiates are water soluble at low temperatures, and acetaminophen is not water soluble at all (only at extreme temperatures) , the opiate will separate itself from the acetaminophen and dissolve into the water. This should take approximately 15 minutes. The goal is to get the solution as close to 32 degrees without freezing it. Keep checking on it until you see a thin film of ice or until you see the edge of the water beginning to freeze to the edges.

3. Take your T-shirt and soak it, or just the part you are going to use, in cold water. Take another empty cup and put the T-shirt on top of the mouth in a concave fashion so that the shirt is dipping into the cup. The more you can get the shirt to dip into the cup the better. Take a rubber band and use it to hold the T-shirt into place. A T-shirt does not have to be used... some people use coffee filters but I HIGHLY discourage this.

4. Pour the solution into the cup with the T-shirt on it slowly. Use a funnel if you have one. The water will drip through the T-shirt (pretty quickly if you use a T-shirt) and into the cup leaving almost all of the acetaminophen filtered out. You will literally be able to scrape the liver killing scum off of the shirt. A lot of the water will be absorbed into the T-shirt itself so it is important to wring the water out into the cup. I would suggest scraping off the acetaminophen before doing this.

5. What you will have left is a solution consisting primarily of water and opiates, with a fraction (If that) of the acetaminophen left.

As long as you are in withdrawals you will get something out of the subs, but the extent of that high will depend on the suboxone dose you were on, due to the tolerance it creates. It took me a good month after stopping suboxone to get a decent high from hydrocodone, and even then it was short lived.

Tommyboy, were you on suboxone for a hydrocodone addiction?

I was using hydrocodone, oxycodone, and heroin. I was only using 3 days a week when I started suboxone, so my tolerance was low enough to get a buzz off of hydrocodone still. I got on suboxone for probation so I could at least use something while getting piss tested 2x a week.
 
i had 9 5mg with 500 a/a.. i crushed em and used a little over 50 ml cuz it looked real sludgy and now its more clear on top and the powder is still at the bottom should i add more water

Holy shit that's a lot of acetomenophen. Be careful. I would suggest running it through a filter twice.

As for adding more water, I can't really say based on your description. Just make sure everything is dissolved.
 
Intrinsic man, just curious as to why you "HIGHLY discourage" using coffee filters? That's what I used last time I did a CWE and was not happy with the end result. Just because they are likely to tear, or is there more to it?
 
use a dress undershirt, material seems better

this is what i use.

dubbed it the apap shirt, a shirt with a big ass white mark in the middle... like chalk lol.

Coffee filters are very "tight" so they get clogged up and let things through very slowly. If you notice when you do the CWE, towards the end the water is dripping through the coffee filter VERY slowly or not at all sometimes. The filter doesn't have to be that tight, the acetomenophen will get filtered out through a shirt and will happen in less than a minute usually. Also, as you said, the filters aren't very strong and they are smaller which makes it harder to concave it down into the cup.

One step I forgot to include was soaking the shirt, or the part of the shirt you are going to use, in cold water. When the shirt is cold and wet before you pour the solution onto it, it will not soak up the solution meaning you will lose less.
 
Yea when I used a coffee filter it took FOREVER, which caused me to try and force it which caused it to rip.. sigh. To the closet for an "apap shirt" I go.
