Yes, I understand its called cold water extraction but Ive been reading A LOT on this and ive seen so many different ways and Ive seen some say dissolve in cold water, dissolve in warm water, well which is it??? Also I like to do it with only like 2 10/325, at most like 4. I really feel like I'm losing opiate cause I don't get as high when I drink the water from the CWE. So idk if im doing it wrong or what ill go through the steps I do and you guys can let me know what yall think.

1) I crush pills up pretty fine usually with spoon or end of lighter.
2) I use cold tap water I don't use much water maybe 20ml then I put the powder it in a glass
3) stir for a couple of min.
4)put in freezer, usually for 10-15 min until really cold.
5) take it out get a coffee filter, get it wet with cold water
6) filter through, im usually impatient so I push the water through
7) then I filter again just incase since I was in rush I missed some
8) and that's it done!

So is this right? because I usually don't get that high off of 20mg through a CWE like I would just popping 20mg orally.
 
You won't. You lose some in the process. Everyone says different and that if done right you'll not lose any. This is a fallacy. You'll lose a bit. You're right though, don't do too many. The thing is to be patient. Do it the night before so you don't rush it. The problem is that you (and I) are rushing the whole process. Use warm water and let it dissolve for a good ten minutes ( not boiling or you'll ruin it), then the freezing to the point of almost frozen. If you're like me you'll keep checking and then just pull it out before it's done its job. Then the filtration which shouldn't be messed with as that's the whole point and the point we usually just say, "come on mate, hurry up," and the whole thing is negated. It's a process and one that will help your liver and kidneys, but it is a pain when you're looking to get high.

Short answer...warm water. Good luck.
 
Mia, for 2-4 10/325. Don't bother doing a CWE, you'll be fine.

cold, lukewarm really doesn't matter much unless you are filtering serious numbers ( like a whole bottle). I've found slightly cool works well. Since I onle cCWE 12-15 at once. I don't bother refrigerating etc. just wait until pills are dissolved, pull a square of clean wet fine weave muslin over glass, secure with elastic, pour water into fabric, and after a few minutes bunch up and queue the life out of it.
You can control the amount of apap largely. Y amount of water u soak them in. I use just enough to cover, in a shot glass.
dont freeze it, once it freezes it will not filter correctly even when thawed,, it separates somehow and gets all nasty
 
The reason I do CWE's on them is cause I take that dose around 4 times a day. I take around 8 10mg Percocet a day. I don't like ingesting that much apap everyday.
 
I do it cause I take 8 10mg everyday. just take 2 or 4 at a time. I don't like taking apap everyday. Its probably fien but I like being safe rather than sorry.
 
Ideally; warm (30-40C), distilled water to dissolve the pill mass, agitated to ensure complete dissolution of actives, then cooled slowly to ~4C.
The layer separation makes it easy to decant the liquid phase into a pre-dampened filtration apparatus.
