Heroin heroin consistency safety question.

[Bomb319]

First of all mods, I know I've asked this question before however I had very little information then and it was too general. Now I know a lot of facts about it that make it a highly relevant safety issue for me.

I have had many problems in the past of my heroin starting to crystallize after being drawn into the rig. In a matter of seconds it hardens into an essentially concrete like consistency. At this point the rig is permanently damaged and can only be saved if I melt the contents with a lighter from the outside and pour it out. Sometimes this occurs in seconds and with other stuff it might only happen when it cools considerably. The odd thing is that this has happened to me many times with many different sources and batches.
I'm on the west coast and am pretty sure that everything I've had must be black tar despite always being either powdery or chunky usually becoming brown with water, but it usually has a vinegar smell to it. Whenever I ask about this about this it seems few people even know what I mean despite it happening to me with many types and occasions. Somebody told me to try adding vitamin c which seems to help. I'm obviously concerned about it because if it does this in my rigs then what Might it be doing in my veins?

Can anybody shed any light on this phenomenon? Thanks.

That sounds like some dirty as dope, I don't iv so I can't really answer this. Id be very wary of iving that. Have you tried purifying it?

Yeah the simple fact is that you are getting horrible dope, cut with God knows what, if it is solidifying like that. You need to find another source and do not shoot that crud.

Heroin salts should be quite soluble in cold water... anything that crystallises in your rig is some bad shit you shouldn't be shooting.

Just reading your description of that dope solidifying like that makes me cringe. Can you start getting better stuff from a different source? You really shouldn't get this stuff anymore

if this is the only dope you can get, and ur going to do it anyway - whatever becomes hard in the solution i would assume is all cut, and the remaining liquid is what you would wanna use. i don't think you should melt down whatever crystalizes in ur rig

Im on the east coast and have had some H that when mixed up became extremly creamy and hard to suck up but never came across something like that..now we dont have tar around here ( atleast easly found) but ive had it in vegas a few time and never had this problem eithor so i would def look for a new dealer cus what ever is.cut in that cant be good...
