I just picked up a bag of Hno price discussion and this stuff looked normal when it was in solid form before being cooked, just a chunk of black stuff. But usually once its cooked and drawn up into the syringe, its a light or medium-dark brown (depending on how much you put in, and from my experience how potent it is) , yet even the darker brown is able to be seen through when held up to light. This stuff on the other hand. Once cooked and drawn into the syringe, is so friggin dark, you cant see through it. I even have a hard time telling if I am in the vein, and getting a good register when i pull back on the plunger, cause I can't see the blood through the heroin. The only two reasons I can tell I am actually in the vein, is 1.) if yuor not in the vein and you pull back on the syringe, it sucks in air, and you can see an air bubble form at the bottom of the barrel, near the needle, but if your in, no bubble forms, it just sucks in blood. And 2.) I can feel the lil pop (almost like when your pierce your ear) when it goes into the vein. This worried me at first, cause not only was i worried about how potent it was gonna be, but I was nervous about mistakenly thinking that i was in the vein and that I was getting a register, but actually not, and then missing, wasting my shot and risking an Abscess (Knock on wood) . But this stuff turned out to be the most potent stuff I've ever gotten.

So my question is, has anyone else gotten stuff that was this dark ? So dark you cant even see your blood come into the syringe. And also, this is the first stuff that I actually had to stir it (I use the plunger from a syringe to stir) cause usually with teh stuff i have been getting, it pretty much all dissolves with heat, except a few lil flakes, which is to be expected. But this stuff, once the chunk is dissolved, it leave a lil residue, almost like a powder (which I kno that even brown heroin can come in powder form) but once stirred it dissolves in seconds, unlike the usual stuff I get, the few flakes that dont dissolve with heat, they wont dissolve even when stirred (I am assuming these flakes are the stuff i want filtered out anyways) So I thought that was weird as well and was wondering if anyone has seen that happen as well. Which this is how I thought it would b the first time I did H, i thought after heating it, i would have to stir, but this is teh first time I've had to stire it. But like I said, this is the most potent stuff I've gotten. Usually I do a full .1 per shot, and that gets me fucked up, off the usual shit we get around here, but this stuff, since it was new, I did less (I always do less when i get new stuff, figured that would be smart) but even like .06-.07 gets me fucked up pretty damn good and last a good amount of time. So am I correct in thinking that the darker the solution is, when drawn into the syringe, the more potent it is, and the lighter it is, the weaker ? It seems to be working that way for me, but I wanted to ask.

Also, this is the first stuff that I actually needed to stir during prep. Everything else I've gotten, dissolved almost completely when heated, of course there are some small flakes of stuff that doesn't always dissolve, but that's stuff you dont want. But this stuff, leaves a lil residue, but unlike the lil flakes that usually get left behind, this stuff does dissolve once stirred around just for a second. So I thought that was kinda weird. Tho honestly, I thought it was weird the first couple times I IV'd H, that I didn't have to stir it, cause I always read that you should stir it after heating, and thats how you see other people do it. Shit, they even stir it on TV/movies. So I am thinking, that the darker the stuff is when you get it into the syringe, the more potent it is. Cause the stuff i got, that even tho i cooked up a lil over .1, it was just a really light brown, and was see thru, and that shit was pretty weak. Am i right in thinking that the darker it comes out, the more potent it is, or is it just a coincidence that the darkest colored stuff I've ever gotten is also the most potent stuff ?

There really isnt a correlation to color and strength in my experience of 10 years of doing black tar daily. I have had many, many shots that were so dark you couldn't read the numbers on the rig. Some were strong as hell, and some were average. I have also had shots that were barely yellow that were crazy strong, and some that werent . There is no way to tell for sure until you do the shot. Stuff that is left in the spoon is usually cut/trash like you mentioned, but you can do the wash when you are in a pinch, or dopesick and it MIGHT be enough to knock out your sick . Sounds to me like you got a good batch of shit though. Please be careful and don't overdo it .
In short, the darker it is is SOMETIMES related to how strong it is, sometimes not .
In my experience, which was from 1991-2001, the best tar had a glassy appearance and was crunchy as if it were crystallized. That stuff was rare to find here in Texas during that time, and was highly prized .
 
yea thats how this stuff was, had a glossy sheen to it, and it was so hard to break apart, it actually kind hurt my fingers trying to break a piece off for a shot. It was good shit like I said, it just worried me at first cause it was so friggin dark, which made me miss a lil bit, cause i thought that i had gotten a register but i hadn't, you couldn't tell, cause the stuff was so dark. But I got the hang of it like I said in my last post. I am hoping my dude has some more of this shit when i pick up tomorrow !

Anyways, thanks for the info "Nsauce" appreciate it.
 
Yeah many years after my H experiences have been over, I still occasionally daydream about that (what we called) "crunchy dope". That stuff was the best. Please be careful . Be careful breaking pieces off of it, especially in cold weather. One time I had a friend give me half the money for a gram, I went and scored it, then decided I would break it in half with my thumbnail on the dashboard of my truck, and give him the smaller half since I was the one that went to score it . It was winter and cold . I put the single gram chunk on the dashboard, pressed my thumbnail into it, and the whole chunk "popped" and shattered into a thousand unrecoverable pieces. At this time (early 90's) this gram cost <snip> - and believe me, it was worth every penny, except that this particular gram exploded everywhere and <snip> was wasted. Do you think my friend believed me when I told him what happened to the dope ? We both searched the truck for hours and could find no trace of it . Aaaah. The memories of the junky ! lol . Be careful .

If you cant see the register flash of blood keep an eye that the volume of liquid will change if you create a suction before entering the vein. If your at 25units youll see it go up to 26 etc.. The fact that your dope is darker does not mean by any means that ist stronger though.;..it may or may not.

Souns like it was pretty decent though right?
 
Colour of heroin is no indicator of quality - there are many different things it can be cut with and it varies a lot from place to place (and form that the heroin takes ofc, for example tar compared to UK heroin freebase).

It won't be helpful even if people have got really dark stuff unless they are getting it from the same region as you, and even then there's no guarantee it's the same batch. You said yourself it was potent, that's all you need to know, you can't extrapolate that to mean that all dark heroin is potent. That's the problem with street drugs like H - purity varies hugely. Always do a small amount initially to test the strength.

If there's flakes of undissolved stuff that's going to be some kind of insoluble cut and you really don't want to inject that. Ideally you really need to be using a micron filter to filter anything you put into your bloodstream. There's also a thread with some general useful info on injecting and complications if you are interested (link).

I'm going to close this now (for reasons outlined above) but if you have any queries send me a pm :)
