Done a few searches, can't find anything, so I thought I'd bring this up for discussion.
Has anyone noticed that how quickly it turns to black and how much turns to black has bugger all to do with the quality of the pill?
I think this would be because with the teeny amount you scrape off you are a) getting a different amount of powder every time b) your getting a different ratio of MDXX/binder everytime. This is obviously going to make a large difference to the reaction. I've also been thinking about how well the binders disolve. I've noticed that some times it takes ages for the binders to dissolve, could this mean it takes longer for the MD to react?
The reason I ask this is because if I am right, then statements like "turned straight to black" or "purple to black in 10 seconds" means precisely fuck all. I've taken to just seeing it turn to black is enough for me, as pills that have gone black really quickly haven't been as good as ones that have taken their time.
