Ethylphenidate : Weird reaction, I've never seen anything like that..

Hey guys,

I am pretty fond of Ethylphenidate, one of the most liked Research Chemicals in the world I think.
As many of you may know, this molecule is created in your body when you ingest alcohol and Methylphenidate (known as Ritalin, used for ADD/ADHD trouble).

Before going further, I must specify some rules I apply to myself and to my friends and on which I'm uncompromising : "Okay, we're taking something much stronger than weed, so there are rules and they're here for everyone security, if you don't follow these rules, you will not snort" :

1) Allergy test, for the first time and every time this is a new batch they've never used.
2) Above all, no mixing the first time they use it, they must be clean.
3) They can mix later with weed/alcohol if they think they could manage it, but low doses, progressively.
4) They have a straw, they keep it for the evening, no share at all, I think a wasted piece of paper is always better than HIV or HCV.
5) We always snort on a clean support, changed everytime, and disinfected if possible.

Then, now I'll come to the facts !

I've always ordered my stuff to a famous UK RC shop (4 batches in a year), the first time I received a white powder studded with some tiny crystals.
The second batch was pretty similar to the first one.
Both of them were used with nasal ROA which is, I must say, one of the worst stuff my friends and I ever snorted, quickly we decided to snort a tiny amount of water after the line to clean the nostril, we enjoyed the effects a lot each time despite the pain.

The third batch was not the same, for the first time I had two choices when I ordered : powder or crystal Ethylphenidate.
Having a special attraction for crystals, I chose the second option.
Actually, the stuff was composed with pretty clean crystals sprinkled with white powder.

This time, my friends and I wanted to try another ROA because we had a party where we couldn't have snorted the stuff, so we decided to put the Ethylphenidate in a bottle of water, glass type.
We didn't crush the crystals, just put them in the bottle.

And then, we saw a very weird reaction, we did not shake the bottle or touch the crystals with our hands at any moment.

This is a little bit hard to describe, but some crystals were spinning on themselves pretty quickly while dissolving very slowly, like a whirligig.

Some others had a different reaction, they were moving very fast, then stop for a while, then removing very fast, then stopping again, at incredible speeds, the best example that comes in my mind : that was like a Golden Snitch in Harry Potter movies, you know.

After a while, all the crystals were dissolved in the water.

I tried to explain this phenomenon :

- We used tap water, Ethylphenidate itself, when dissolving, reacted with the Chlorine.
- Ethylphenidate is cut with something, the cut reacted with water or Chlorine.

I remembered from my chemistry class that a freebase form doesn't dissolve in water, I deduced that I was in possession of Ethylphenidate HCL, I remembered too than HCL reacts strongly with water, but I couldn't go further than that.

Somebody there have an idea of what has occurred in this bottle ? 8o
 
Sorry, I've no idea about the chemistry side of things, but I'm pretty sure crystal EPH is exactly the same compound as the powdered stuff, just sold at a large mark-up. (Even the powder has a crystalline appearance- sometimes with large pieces of crystal in there). I used to smoke quite a lot of the stuff and the effects of "big crystal" EPH were identical to the cheaper powder. I don't bother with EPH now, I much prefer mpa.

Maybe try the advanced drug discussion threads?
 
Thanks for your answer ;)

Oh, by the way, I tried MPA this night, 30mg vaporized.
Pretty amazing stuff too, not as strong as meth but I cleaned up my flat for 3 hours freneticly after my dose, interesting stuff, for sure.
I always found EPH absolutely horrible to smoke, if not impossible, since the first seconds with vapes I feel this is going to completely ruin my lungs and throat, the smoke is so harsh..

Do you smoke Ethylphenidate HCL or Freebase ?
I wanted to make a try with the freebase, I heard it'll have a less harsh taste and a big rush when smoking. ;)
 
Yeah I love vaping a bit of MPA, but the urge to redose is compulsive for me- I like to to come down with large doses of diclazepam, I use a vendor that sells them cheaper than dirt right now. There's no need to try converting EPH it to freebase- it smokes well as it already is, though I guess you could give it a try. It's strange actually EPH seems to have no effect on me anymore- I vaped and snorted quite a lot last night to no effect. When you're vaping it, if it burns down to a black charcoal, it means you've got impurities in your stuff- pure EPH should just burn down to nothing at all.
