I remember reading some old review on heroin and its puirity on the streets, wherein it was suggested that #3 heroin (the base) was traditionally cut with caffeine, and the #4 (HCl) was cut with quinine and lactose. Obviously this would have been many, many years ago, when heroin was still heroin, and not just mystery fentalogues plus bulking agent.
I think I remember reading that the heroin base/caffeine base forms what is known as a eutectic mixture upon melting and mixing the two substances, that is, the mixture of the two compounds is easier to melt than either compound in a pure form. The reason this would be desirable would be to make smoking the product more effecient - lower melt point means easier evaporation at lower temperatures, which means the heroin is less liekly to degrade, and also easier to "run around" on foil.
