ive heard that acetone can be used to clean both coke and meth of the nasty additives and cuts...
A)Is this true?
B) how do you do this?

Using acetone to "clean" out the additivies...
- Thread starter Spencer
- Start date
Acetone cleans anything. =)
(it also leaves acetone-residue of unknown composition.)
i probably used some unholy amount of acetone, like 5 litres, for cleaning glassware last year.. but it's phat, because it dries really fast. (oh, but remember always to rinse things with the solvent you're going to use)
none of that has anything to do with cleaning out additives.
first- i am not sure if this works for coke, but it probably will work for meth.
(i'm only answering this because yer a mod) =)
roches' guide to acetone
acetone (aka dimethyl ketone or 2-propanone, which is the only possible propanone, but i'll call it 2-propanone anyway) is a polar aprotic solvent that dissolves pretty much anything.
but for some reason, it doesn't dissolve meth (HCl) very well, although it *does* dissolve most of the possible fillers. unless the filler is something wack (something that isn't really soluble in *anything*), then it should dissolve in acetone.
the *proper* technique is to wash the filter cake with few portions (an absolutely minimal amount) of ice-cold acetone during vacuum filtration, but since you probably can't do that you'll have to think of something else.
you have to use COLD acetone, as cold as you can get it. that is the main thing. it has to be COLD, and you don't need much. since the cut was probably added to powder you probably dont need to crush anything further... anyway, you should be more concerned about toxic synthetic byproduct impurities than cuts.. which will be present in a very small amount. try to do it on filter paper, but just, make sure you don't use much acetone and that it's VERY COLD.
btw.. obviously you can evaporate the filtrate if you think your yield is low.

So I'm guessing the kind of acetone you buy in the hardware store (i.e., NOT lab grade) has all sorts of yuck yuck in it? Shit, that's the stuff I use on my glassware too....

Maybe you're more forgiving than the hive. Will acetone eat fillers away almost completely(cold medicines uh hem)? Getting dyes out are a bitch, and if I can eat the binder and the dye at the same time, WTFN then? Sorry if this goes against the forum guidelines, but hey, I tried.
Thanks in advance.

hw store acetone usually contains toulene and stuff. Usually a msds comes with the box and has some info on the other things in it.
Acetone wont disove all fillers. But it will disolve most of the impurities, which pretty much only helps make it look better, scince impurities have no effect on the trip for coke or e.
You will not recover 100% of the drug, as some will stay disolved in the acetone.

And to clean, I'd use warm or hot acetone, then but it in the freezer for awhile, then recover the crystals.
