I did a search on this but did not find a lot of useful information.
I am trying to find out the best extraction / filter method for removing ACAP from Lorcet / Lortab, etc.
I just tried the old crush 'em up, put 'em in cold water, filter, and evaporate but it didn't seem to turn out so great. Any first-hand experiences? Also a good step-by-step including approx. measurements would be helpful also, since I think that is where I failed.
Thanks.
 
Ok, did you do a Bluelight search there have been many posts on proper CWE, it make take long but you may get a bit more thourough of a list by doing that, there also used to be a great site out there but the webmaster for some un-godly reason got rid of the extraction page, but here's a little help for you from what I do when I extract.
1) Crush up your pills so they are a fairly fine powder
2) use warm water, not hot, hot water will destroy the good hydrocodone, they dissolve faster and more efficiently in warm water, u could use cold water but the disolving may take longer, I usualy use approx 7-10ml of water per pill
3)place your fluid bottle in the freezer to cool it down so that the hydro and water seperates from the APAP, don't let it freeze, depending on the amount of pills and water your using, it takes about 15 mins for the APAP to seperate from the water that contains the Hydro.
4) remove the solution from the freezer(try not to shake up the layered solution) and you can do 1 of 2 things or both if you want.
One, pour as much of the "clear" fluid into a glass leaving the white sludge on the bottom, that obviously is the bulk of the APAP, this way is faster and you have a better chance of not "loosing" as much Hydro, but you also may get some APAP. Or try number two, get a glass, and place a lab filter over the top, a coffee filter will work, but a lab filter is prime.
Pour the soulution onto the filter and let the fluid filter through into the glass, this way is slower but eliminates virtualy all of the APAP, don't rush the filtration step or you'll force APAP though and may "ruin" the extracted batch, it can take up to 60-90 mins depending on the ammount of product you are creating and how many glasses you use. Or if you want you can use the 2 mentioned methods in conjunction with each other. Also alot of people do the entire extraction method over again using the APAP sludge to extract any additional Hydro, I've never done that though. From what I heard doing a cold water Extraction you lose approx 5-10% of the hydro, but as you gain experience you'll prolly yield 98-99% of the pills hydro.
5) After the filtration is done toss out the filter and Drink the "clear" fluid in the glass, it's going to taste kinda gross but you'll get used to the taste, alot of people mix it with some Kool-aide or other drink mix, I just down it and chase it with Pepsi.
Don't evaporate the fluid it's truthfully not worth it, unless of course your going to snort it which I have heard of people doing, which I have no experience in so i wouldn't truthfully be able to answer any evap to snort questions.
It's really simply, if you do it often it'll come to be second nature to you, good luck and if you have any questions feel free to E-Mail me at [email protected]
 
Thank you so much, Ahses. That is the most down to earth instructions that I have heard for that process. I think I screwed up by only giving the solution about 5 minutes to disolve then trying to filter it.
One question, how long do I wait before I put the glass in the freezer?
 
Not very long, just let them be well dissolved. Swish it around for a few minutes. Most of the stuff in the pills will dissolve rather quickly, in less than a minute. Some of it will never dissolve but that's ok - that's APAP and binders.
 
Why would you need to do an extraction? If you have 10/500 pills, you could take nearly 200 mg of hydrocodone before you have to worry about your liver, for most people. Do you really need 200mg of hydrocodone, or do you have a damaged liver, or what?
 
Travis, I have messed around with LorX 5, 7.5, and 10's and I always got a stomach ache during and mostly after the buzz. I had some Norco (10mg hydrocodone / 325mg ACAP) recently and had no adverse reactions at all.
My deduction is that I'm not very tolerant to ACAP and frankly don't need or want it anyway so if there is an effective way for me to reduce it, I'm gonna do it.
By the way I did my first successful extraction yesterday and that was the best all around experience I have had with hydrocodone in a while. Quick, smooth buzz followed by hours of mellow comfort. Thanks for the advice all.
