Hi all
I've been using now for over 20 years, and basically the quality of street gear up here in the nort west of the UK is hit and miss, but more often miss. Services here for users are shocking. 3-4 month waits for sub tapers over 2 month if you're lucky and no maintanace scripting.
Couple of week ago an older, wiser guy than myself suggested I switch to PPT. I put a test order in, recieved the pods and set about trying to figure out how to go about it. Bought a coffee bean grinder (after some failed attempts at manually breaking them up, and a French coffee press. So basically i can grind into powder then continue as if making coffee. Took me a while to get to this stage, and more than a few wasted pods i think.
So I am at the stage where i can grind a few pods, add hot water and come up with a dark bnrew similar to a black coffee or a strong tea without milk. Drop of honey to counteract the bitterness and it's drinkable. i generally try a second extraction, which is much lighter and weaker. I can feel there are more alkaloids than morphine as there's a more 'uppy' buzz, where conversation flows, and its hold time is notably longer than street gear here.
I've trawled the net looking for advice andt there's so much contrary stuff out there it's unbelievable. Acid water, alkali water, stovetop cooking, I have no idea if i'm wasting the material or not;. I keep seeing 80 degrees c will destroy morphine, is this true? do i need a thermometer? I was thinking of putting the coffee press in a bain-marie of some sort as the temperature dropped in the extraction, would this help?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated....the product i'm making now is way more consistent and better quality than chasing street gear
Thanks in advance
