Now unfortunately, I'm out of diethyl ether. So with the exception of that, is there anyway to speed up the 48 hour evaporation time of an acetone wash of cocaine hydrochloride? I've just washed some killer blow in a simple acetone wash, and it looks spectacular, but obviously cannot consume the product for 48 hours due to the obvious health reasons, burning, and the altered buzz.

I've considered rewashing it in 99% iso. alcohol, using a heat lamp, and so on. Is this a possibility, or is there a better alternative. I want to do it now dammit! :X

Thanks in advance for any input.

Le Junk :)
 
Putting it in a sealed container with "Damprid" or any other name brand desiccant will work.

I used to get soaking wet shrooms bone dry in less than 24 hours this way.

A heat lamp will also work.

Also, please invite me over when it drys.

http://www.damprid.com/

You can get it at any Wal-Mart type store or Home Depot etc.

P.S.

Just out of curiosity when you say it was killer, how much of the original product weight made it through the purification process?

Any guesstimates on purity based on before & after weight?

P.S.S.

When I make hash oil for personal use, using 99% ISO I evaporate the ISO using a hair dryer...

Have you considered using a hair dryer?

They work wonders when your impatient.

Also, I have never done it, but you can put it in the oven on the lowest bake like 100F until it dries.

Hair dryer works really well though if you have one.

Later on.

I've got 2.5 g's left from a 3.5 start. This shit is already freakin white diamonds, and rubs and disappears between the fingers in 2 seconds. If I use the 99% iso.,then I assume your suggesting blow drying the filter paper that still contains the cola. Is that what your suggesting? I've used a blow dryer to speed up extractions before, but this time the coke is gonna still be solid after the iso. wash, so blow drying the filter paper with the cola inside is what I assume your suggesting.

If that's it, how long should I blow dry the paper for?

Oh, and I would have to estimate the purity at this point to be around a realistic 70-80%. I'm not an idiot that would say, "dude, it's 100% pure!".

So, am I right on your suggestions? Thanks.

I just point the blow dryer at the material I want to evaporate the solvent off of.

I just blow dry it until I am satisfied it is bone dry.

If your just talking about a soggy lump of cola I can't see it taking any more than an hour of blow drying to get it bone dry.

I can evaporate an entire pyrex dish of ISO down to bone dry hash oil with a blow dryer in 2-3 hours so a soggy piece of cola in a filter should be more than bone dry in 1 hour.

Some times when I get sick of holding the blow dryer on the material with the excess solvent I suspend the blow dryer with string pointing at the material very carefully and just keep a close eye on it until it is dry.

No problem I am glad to help.

P.S.

Did you see my tip in your purification thread on how to make 99% lab grade anhydrous acetone at home with magnesium salts and hardware acetone?

Thanks, and yes I saw your magnesium sulphate suggestion and then added the recommendation to the original thread. Okay, this may sound stupid, but my cola is as dry as a bone now and looks just like it would if you scored it off the street, so blow drying it would just blow it off the plate and all over the room. I'd use the damprid thingy, but I saw on Google that letting it air dry for 1 hour and then placing it in the oven at 150 degrees for 1 hour will do the job. Ironically, acetone causes a speedy effect if it's still present. Basically, if you drank a sip of acetone, you'd get a speedy buzz. Why couldn't it cause a mellow buzz dammit?

Any comments on the 150 degrees in the oven for 1 hour suggestion?

Yes cocaine doesn't deteriorate at 150F so that should be a safe temp to dry it at and you won't have to deal with the wind action.

Just make sure your oven is accurate I know mine gets very hot really quick I suspect the dial isn't very accurate.

I have even heard of people using the microwave at 10 second bursts on the lowest power setting.

SWIM used to evaporate Ketaset vials down to HCL crystals using this method.

Later on.

Damprid does work very well but it will take at least 12 hours.

P.S.

Glad I could help with the thread.

Thanks bro, I'm off to the oven! Now, a simple baking pan with aluminum foil I assume, correct?

P.S. I feel like a little kid, but I'm really drunk already, so therefore I ask alot of stupid questions! 8o
 
Haha, I am also drunk how ironic.

Yeah tinfoil should work or even a nice clean diner plate or pyrex dish either way though.

Let me know how it turns out.

Happy tooting!

If I were you I would hake sure there are not very large sparks being caused by the brushes on the dryer motor.Cos that shit is volatile Woulden't want you to singe your eyebrows!!
 
Never had a problem yet.

Electric drying is really safe.

It is the people that try to evaporate a gallon of solvent over an open flame gas stove that have some issues from time to time with showing up in the news and all.
 
Food dehydrator!

If you have one. Rinsing it with magnesium sulfate dried solvents like acetone will work, as already mentioned. But if you really wanted to purify it, wouldn't you be using a dry solvent system to recrystalise it in the first place? Sorry, if you mentioned this, I just scanned the message. I can't help but wonder if you've just mmanaged to get some beautiful ephedrine or caffeine crystals (That's a testament to the quality of the coke around here).
 
Damprid or any of those things are useless! READ THE LABEL DAMPrid. It absorbs water, not just any vapour that happens to be about.
 
How does the purity of lab grade acetone (the stuff that comes in nalgene bottles that you use to clean glassware, among other things) compare to the purity of hardware store acetone?

Hardware 'tone will have water unless you make it anhydrous.
 
Le... I keep yay in filter with heat lamp on and small fan.. blowing over..... also after the regular time frame... in your thread.... I have...kept in filter sealed good... with blower in car on med heat and filter in vent... works very well....
 
you could put it onto a plate, and set the plate on top of a pot, and put it on low-maybe medium heat


i think this is what my friend does to evaporate the saline from the ketamine


someone please correct me, but do you think this process would work for the OP's stuff?
 
Thanks guys for all your advice. I'm on vacation.................yes, again! =D

That's why I haven't been responding for a few days, but I before left, I did find the quickest, most effective method to be to let the cleaned product air dry for 1 hour and then spread thinly over a piece of aluminum foil placed over a baking sheet and let dry at 170 degrees f. in the oven for 2-3 hours.

I'll be adding this to the original post as well, unless I already did. Short term memory loss from 20 years of ecstacy use has been exhausting! 8(

later, Le Junk ;)
