No, I don't EVER heat my shots... I get brown/beige/grey/white pebbles and rocks of potent No. 4 heroin that tends to be served in weight or by the tenth in gel capsules *found at health/vitamin supplement stores. I've only gotten tar twice or 3x here and I prefer the usual ECP/No. 4 dope to that shit anyday. Once you put water to it, it melts like butter into a transparent, golden-brown solution. Some batches are almost clear; Especially, the notoriously strong "China White" batches that come around.

I use the bottom of soda cans because it's a nice solid foundation with a nice amount of space to stir with and makes it very easy to visually make sure you've gotten all your dope dissolved into the water. It's also a habit/routine it's what I was taught by the older junkie cats that taught me. And I wouldn't want to make a shot with a pill form opioid any oher way. I've used spoons, bottle caps and what not, in the past, but I found soda cans that most effective. I make sure the can hasn't been opened so that there's significant weight to allow it to stand as a solid foundation; you want the pop-top intact so it doesn't wobble around. If I care enough, I'll sanitize it to the best of my abilities. I usually grab one right outta the 12 pack or if I'm thirsty, the fridge so that I can make a shot and crack open a soda or beer.
Just wanted to make sense of what I said, verso
