Did you end up using distilled or tap water,SDBF? So you got a better yield with 3/4 the amount of baking soda compared to the mdpv? I plan on starting out with 100mgs of mdpv and 75 mgs of baking soda in a half cup of water. How do those proportions sound?
Distilled definitely. Not sure how much of a difference it makes but its cheap so why not use it. I'm not sure how much of difference the baking soda amounts played in my yield to be honest as I think it was the heat more than anything but I will be playing with different ratios of PV to baking soda and am going to try to do the heat the same everytime which should give me some idea of what an ideal ratio would be. So I can't really say what is best right now, but what you get back you will not regret any loss you may have in yield I assure you

Also, plan it out in advance when you finally are going to try this stuff because once your going you don't want any appts, meetings or whatever later in the day or night of when you begin, because you will miss them, cancel them, blow them off, etc. Once the train leaves the station there is no getting off(no pun intended) for other stuff that may come up until it runs out of fuel.
