The myth that you can't smoke cocaine hydrochloride is just that, a myth. While drug users are often seen behaving as if things that are well known to be myths were actually truths, this is a case where millions of primo bowl smokers can't be wrong.
This OLD study in the Journal of Analytical Toxicology found that heating cocaine to 220 degrees Celsius still leads to a 62% +- 11% efficiency of administration. Cocaine hydrochloride will vaporize at 195 degrees Celsius. Heating to 170 degrees Celsius, which is too low to vaporize cocaine hydrochloride but much hotter than needed to vaporize crack, only resulted in 73% efficiency.
According to the only evidence I can find, unless you're a crack smoking expert who can keep their crack pipe operating at exactly 90 or 100 degrees Celsius, you're not really wasting much by smoking your cocaine in salt form.
