After some bad experiences with side effects like an extremely sore nose and bad comedowns I ended up on a le junk and David le rabbit hole to try and get rid of some the sh*t in my gear.
I've done an acetone wash and a/b procedure (somewhat successfully I believe) which leaves me with freebase. Turning it back into a snortable sort is where I'm getting grief.
I'm using 10% concentrated HCl as this is the legally allowed concentration in my country. I know this has a lot of water but it is all I have and I'm not in deep enough to want or need to generate HCl gas.
I have tried many different ways of to administer to it that I've found on the forums. These range from adding the HCl straight to the base, making an acetone or ethanol /hcl solution at differing ratios, dissolving the base in acetone before adding the HCl solutions. No matter which way, I never get flakes precipitating. The only way I recover anything is to let the whole solution evaporate and it leaves a glassy looking substances that once fully dried grinds into a powder.
Why isn't it precipitating from the HCl? Is there anything I can do differently? I don't mind having to let it all evaporate, but surely this way crystalizes the impurities I want to avoid. And also, does the evaporation method have an adverse effect on the coke.
Sorry for the long post. Complete novice with this stuff. Appreciate anyone that read it all and can help.

COCAINE PURIFICATION: ONLY IF THIS IS ACCEPTABLE TO TALK ABOUT HERE? I’M GONNA TALK ABOUT IT ANYWAY……HA… Get a metal dining spoon. Average size, not too big or small. Bend the spoon end slightly so that when you sit the spoon on a table, the spoon side is perfectly horizontal. This will make sure it doesn't spill when you have to sit the spoon down.
Poor Ammonia into the spoon, about 2/3rds full. Make sure it is Ammonia from a hardware store which is already diluted with water. Also make sure the only ingredients in the bottle are pure Ammonia and water. This stuff is incredibly strong, even the diluted stuff. So make sure you don't breathe in the fumes and don't spill it anywhere. If you do then clean it up immediately.
Immerse approx 1 gram Cocaine into the Ammonia by pooring it from the bag directly into the spoon.
Immediately start to heat the solution from beneath the spoon using a standard lighter. Drift the flame in a circular motion around the base of the spoon whilst very steadily gliding the spoon itself back, forth, left and right. This will help the solution collect in the center of the spoon.
What you should see happening is the fucking powder Cocaine gathering together and slowly forming a rock-type matter in the center, it will normally form a circular shape. But it isn't an issue if it's not circular.
Your lighter is likely to get very hot, so make sure you have one or two lighters to swap with so that your lighter doesn't pop.
By the time the solution starts to really bubble and spit, the Cocaine should now have fully crystallised into Freebase, and should be sat in the center of your spoon. If it hasn't formed a rock yet, put the spoon down for a minute and then heat again. You can test if it is a rock by prodding it with a pin, if it's a rock then the pin won't go into the rock and will be stuck to the spoon slightly.
Depending on what treatment has been done to the Cocaine before import will determine if it immediately turns to rock or if you get a slightly damp sludge-type solution. If it is still damp and sludgey, then you need to leave it on the side for half hour or so until it solidifies.
Poor the Ammonia away and remove the crystallized freebase, putting it on a paper towel. (Do this with gloves so that you don't get Ammonia on your hands! It will make you very ill!)
Use a kitchen towel to soak up and dry the Ammonia which is on the freebase.
Clean your spoon.
Fill your spoon with water, 2/3rds full.
Immerse the freebase in the water of the spoon and light the spoon from beneath. Slowly but surely, you will see a stream of smoke emit from the water. This is the Ammonia which is soaked into the freebase being released. Do this for a while, when it starts to bubble, stop. Then do it again. And again. You are making sure there is no Ammonia on your freebase. (Trust me, you do NOT want to smoke it with any Ammonia on.)
Remove the freebase, dry it again with a fresh bit of paper towel, poor away the water, clean the spoon and repeat step 13.
Remove the freebase again and dry it with another fresh piece of paper towel.
If you have spilt Ammonia anywhere or got it on your hands or anything then for God's sake clean it up. I'm only reiterating this point because I've learnt the hard way. It's not the sort of chemical you want to fuck around with.
Leave your freebase to dry for 24 hours if you have the patience, this will mean you'll get more bang for your buck. Some people will pop it in the microwave but I don't advise it. Others will just stick it straight in a pipe.
That is the most thorough breakdown I can give you for making Crack-Cocaine. You may have to do some trial and error at first until you understand the process and realise whats actually going on and what you're doing along the way. There are other methods but this is the quickest, most effective way.
