easy cocaine clean-up for the chemistry challenged

you talked about doing the exact same method with 99% rubbing alcohol, what is the difference? maybe you just came across good blow and its not the process you used?
 
an acetone wash only removes organic impurities such as an excess hydrochloric and hygrines. The quality of your coke will greatly improve with this method, as these substances are usually very irritating in the nostrils. however, most cuts are unaffected...
 
meaning most active cuts are uneffected, how much would the quality of the coke effect the high? useless imo as all i care about is the quality of the intoxication
 
^yea he is right, this is pointless if it does not remove active cuts......increasing ur potency of ur coke just means u will have less to snort and less will become more.
 
This is great but is hardware store acetone really going to be pure enough. I would assume most of the impurity of acetone would be water. Correct me if I'm wrong. This is definately true of 99% ISO.

A double/triple wash with 99% iso would give significant losses in solvated decanted cocaine.

LMK what you think lejunk
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but only so much of a given solid can dissolve in water. If water can hold mroe or less cocaine than salt, find out how many mg/mL of coke will dissolve in water and simply find out how much of the 99% acetone will have in it. 100mL of it will be 1mL water (if that is the impurity), so if you do three washes with exactly 100mL of acetone, each time you lose x amount of cocaine, and in the end 3x. Right?

I dunno. But it couldn't be too much, I don't believe. And if it's good blow I wouldn't miss as much as 3mL of water can take away.

Hell, even if you washed with a total of 0.5L acetone you could only lose as much as 5mL would hold if it were truly 99%.

So it's not like you have to find anhydrous acetone.

I apologize for the above post, I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about.

I always thought there were like 20mL to a tablespoon. I am completely dumb when it comes to metric liquid units, but I am awfully good with dry weight in metric. So, sorry.

Ignore that post.

A tablespoon is 15ml. A shotglass is 30ml. Thank should give you an idea.

he is talking about a 100ml wash. With 99% iso you would have 1ml of water. Anyone who has injected coke knows that you can get a significant amount of coke into 1ml of water (I would say in the 250mg+ range). Cocaine HCL is highly soluble in water. Maybe someone knows some numbers.

Hardware acetone is 98% pure or better. The possible additives would be either a trace of water or alcohol, or a combination of both. So yes, a minimal loss of product would result, but not enough to even be considered significant. But, you will definitely not miss all traces of excess hygrines, hydrochlorich acid, caffeine (active cut), cocamine base, cocamine hydrochloride, ecgonine (active cut), inositol, lactose, dextrose and sucrose.

Now, if you don't mind taking all those extra items up your nose, then skip the acetone wash. Personally, the acetone wash is one of the simplist, most effective ways of purifying and changing the whole asthetics of your cocaine.

Just give it a try and you will not be disappointed, I guarantee it! To spite the maximum 2% loss of cocaine at the worst.

;)
 
Hold on 98% pure isn't good enough if you are using even 100ml of acetone. We will call it 1ml of water per 100ml of acetone. If you use double or triple wash we are talking ml's of water to solvate your cocaine. mls of water are significant considering the high solubility of cocaine HCL.

Le Junk you have done a purification, what is the highest percent yield (by weight) you have gotten with the rawest you have.

My yield of cocaine after purification has been between 70-90% of the original amount of adulterated cocaine put in. And I would assume the 30-10% loss is mostly that of adulterants and not actual cocaine.

If you think acetone from the hardware store is not pure enough, then simply order some 99.5% pure acetone reagent from any chemical supply company online. It's that simple.
 
Say I wanted to try this method with just 1 gram of cocaine, would I still use 100ml of acetone? Also do I have to let it dry all night after the acetone wash, what about a couple hours?

If not a couple of hours just sitting out, what if it had a 400w HID light over it? About what temp. is safe for the air around the coke to be...the light gets pretty hot...

If your only doing 1 gram of coke, then 50 ml.s of acetone would be sufficient. You want to get out all of the caffeine if there is any, and it takes 50ml.s of acetone to dissolve one gram gram of caffeine. So, theoretically, you could probably get away with 25-30 ml.s of acetone.

Just make sure you make the coke as fine as possible before putting it in the acetone. Stir it thoroughly for at least 5 minutes and then let it settle completely. It may take like what seems forever for the top layer to become clear and for just the coke to be sitting at the bottom without any cloudyness in the acetone, but it will eventually happen.

When it does, very, very carefully pour out the acetone layer trying to leave all of the coke at the bottom. When the coke starts to almost fall out with the remaining acetone, stop and pour in 25 more ml.s of fresh acetone. Stir again and wait for the original filter to completely run thru of the old acetone. This time, try and pour all of your acetone and coke into the filter paper. If any still remains in the beaker, pour a little more fresh acetone in, swish it around and quickly pour it into the filter paper with the rest of the coke.

Once all of the acetone has drained thru completely, pour just a little more fresh acetone into the filter over the coke. This will just make sure you got everything off that you wanted off of the coke.

And yes, you really should let it air dry overnight. If you have a heat lamp, you can put it about 12 inches away from the coke and give it 2-3 hours. Check for any acetone smell. Then if it passes the smell test, go ahead and snort away.

Good luck!

Junk ;)

Coke can decompose at around 196 degrees celcius, so a heat lamp shouldn't cause any problems. Just keep any eye on it, often.
 
You really are determined to become the 'mother theresa' of cocaine users eh? ;)

A future 'St. Le Junk - patron saint of dopamine reuptake inhibitors'!=D

Honestly though, it's good that someone's going to the bother of finding all this out then explaining it in fairly jargon free language
 
ok so water washing gets rid of amps,caffeine ,ephedrine right? but leaves the freebase coke? right?


and acetone gets rid of the stuff that makes it burn in the nostril, right?
and can be skipped?

Yes, water washing your freebase will remove ephedrine and amphetamines, and caffeine.

So, if your just looking to smoke it afterwards, then you'd be fine without the acetone.

Le Junk,

Thanks for all the research which went into this but I'm wondering what the difference would be doing an acetone wash versus the earlier isopropyl alchohol wash you posted earlier. Is the end result pretty much the same or would one method be better than the other?
 
rahhhh

wait a minute all you need to do is water wash and you get rid of the 3 most common cuts?! why the fuck was i bothering with alcohol and muratic acid and all this other stuff! 8o
