Just tried out my first CWE today with some Vicodin 7.5/750. Everything turned out ok except for a few things.
First, I forgot to wet my coffee filter before straining the solution so when I poured the solution in, the whole filter got wet and I'm sure I lost some of the hydro solution in the coffee filter.
Second, I got impatient letting it strain through, so I fiddled with the filter and accidentally spilled a little bit of the APAP goop into the collecting cup. But no big deal because when I saw how much APAP was left behind after squeezing the filter, I was amazed. Before starting to use the CWE, I was taking 6 vics a day, nearly 4000 mg of tylenol. It just recently started causing me stomach problems and difficulty urinating. I'm glad I tried this out today, hopefully I will perfect the process soon.
Also, what else do you recommend I use for a filter other than coffee filters? It takes way too long to filter out this stuff. How long do you guys wait for it to filter through?
Trying to filter the entire thing through coffee filters will take forever. Use a piece of tightly woven cotton (often described as dress shirt like material.) and use it on top of the coffee filter. After it goes through for a while, you can squeeze the cloth into the coffee filter and it will have alot less to do.
I don't care what anyone else says, a t-shirt or sock or whatever is insufficient because it will allow too much APAP through. If you can't find an old dress shirt to use, think about a cloth napkin or something like that. Heck, you can even purchase plain cloth at a Wal-Mart or other store that carries cloth, look for plain muslin cloth. You can get a ton of it for cheap.
I'm really glad you are CWE'ing! Your health and liver will thank you!
