Purity - CWE - 3 X filter technique

[iceman52633]

This is a three X filter technique that I find to be a much cleaner end product.

1. Take 20 pills (tylenol 1's) crush tablets into powder.

2. Mix in 40 mls of cold water, stir till mixed.

3. First filtration = filter through a cloth (I use an old t-shirt). Wet t-shirt, put over a cup and filter through, should go through in 1-2mins, squeeze all the liquid out. This first filtration will get most of the APAP and big filler out, without clogging your filter up and taking forever.

4. Now throw an ice cube in your solution and swirl till very cool (if you don't want to get extra water in your solution you can put your ice cube in a plastic bag), swirl for a min and remove ice cube

5. Second filtration = wet 1 coffee filter, cover a cup and pour solution through the single coffee filter, takes 1-2mins (you will see very little res in this coffee filter), give the coffee filter a light squeeze to get the last couple of drips.

6. Again throw and ice cube in solution and swirl for 1min and remove ice cube.

7. Third filtration = take two coffee filters put them together wet them put over a cup and pour your solution through the filter, again, should only take a min to filter through.

The final product should be an absolutely clear liquid!

This whole process takes 10min tops!

does SWIY know about the yield? that seems to be a problem for some people, that even 1x cwe's yield is/can be quite low

SWIM does something similar: 1-Dissolves 20 pills in 75 to 100 ml of warm water(SWIM has a better yield with more water) 2-Filters through 3 tissues and squeezes all the liquid out even allowing some acetaminophen into the solution. 3-Cools down the solution until pieces of ice start to form. 4-filters through 2 scientific filters (coffee filters could be used) The result is a completely clear liquid which is indistinguishable from regular water (really). Sometimes SWIM measures the quantity of water before and after filtration with different filters (always wetting them first) to determine which caused the biggest lost of codeine and found that after filtering through a cloth or T-shirt caused a fairly big amount of solution to be lost even after squeezing it, as opposed to using tissues which barely absorbed any of the solution.

Swim is still expirmenting but latley he tends to put 2 dry coffe filters (at grade 3 he thinks they are) together but with a little space between them. He puts them in the glass and then folds up a sheet of bounty - paper towel equiviliant ontop of the filters.
He allows everything in the glass to slowly pass through. Squeezing slightly for the last few drops, accuracy isnt too important at this stage. The solution is pretty cloudly so a 2nd extraction is needed.

2nd time around he uses 2 slightly wet coffe filters together as before only difference is that they are slightly wet this time. And again puts a single paper towel ontop. This seems to work well for him. While the final result is slightly misty hes very confident the mist is actually the codeine because if it were the ACAP it would sink to the bottom. He can also usually tell by the taste but hes not sure if thats the taste of a large amount of codeine or a taste of ACAP.

Hes certain the paper towels will take away volume from the final result as they retain all of water, and hes almost sure that a dry filter will do the same. Pre-wetting the filters he assumes will help detour the codeine/acap water from clinging to the filter. And just passing through the filter.

Any one got any tips on there filtering?

i will NEVER understand why people have so much trouble with CWE's and use such elaborate techniques.

I use regular coffee filters, regular glasses, regular warm tap water, a rubber band, etc

and i get 95% yield and an end product thats as clear as normal water. actually normal tap water is dirty...my product looks like filtered water.

please don't mistake this as cockiness. it's more like a continuing inability to comprehend how people can fuck up something so simple.

ps - the fact that i'm so good at this is proof of what a pathetic junkie i am here i am blabbing about codeine on the computernet i offically suck yeah!

SWIM gets the same result with his technique, and until only recently he thought that it wasn't necessary too much hassle and did his cwe just like swiy.But one day while doing and extraction some ACAP fell from the side of the filter into the solution by accident , and swim is sure that it did but when swim looked at the solution in was completely clear, "like filtered water" so now he knows that he has to be very careful when extracting, and that the appearance is not a accurate indicator of the purity of the extract. Another thing, how do you know that you get a 95% yield?
