I recently came into the possession of what I was told is 4-fluroamphetamine (4-FA). It's appearance was bright white, with noticeable crystal shards if I looked hard enough. From it's physical appearance, it looks very pure. However, when I tested it with Marquis reagent, I did not get the results that I expected. From the few testing reports I have found online, it should have turned a color somewhere between the range of orange and brown. When I tested it, there was no color change, but it fizzed a little, and produced vapor (I say vapor, because I am not sure if "smoke" is the proper term. It did appear like smoke though).
From my research, the only substances that I found that would produce smoke was very pure MDMA and DXM. However, I read that the pure MDMA will eventually turn purple, so I would have expected my sample to change color as well. My test kit is about a year old, so it is possible that the reagents have degraded, but I have stored it in the refrigerator when not in use. Has anyone else had this reaction with confirmed 4-FA? Does anyone have any test results for other reagents included in the EZ Test Complete kit? Can anyone offer any explanation other than "it is DXM" or some other undetermined chemical? I realize that nobody here is able to tell me exactly what I have, solely based upon my description, but maybe somebody can provide me with more information, so that I can safely figure it out myself.
