Purity - cleaning ecstasy pills via a simple acetone wash

[Treesniper119]

Thank you so much Le Junk, I really appreciate all of your insight with this topic. When Swim tests this out in 2 weeks time from now (gotta purchase all the proper materials like SWI-LJ mentioned), Swim will have a full follow up on everything. I am so excited for swim... lol
Any particular site you have in mind for finding Low/Medium flow filter papers? I have looked around and will continue to, since Swim doesnt want to have to resort to coffee filters. That seems to be the only thing keeping swim from the best roll of his and his wifes life! Again, thanks for all the help.

My pleasure. Do a Google search for "chemistry supply companies". From there, take numbers and just start calling. My advice would be to obtain filter papers that are not only low to medium flow, but that are at least 15 cm. wide as well. The bigger, the better. Best of luck and keep us all posted as to your results.

P.S. I can't recommend enough that you also purchase a 5 step EZ Extreme testing kit. With pills in the U.S. being as they are today (refer to ecstasydata.org for actual GC/MS testing results), the chances of your finding a pure pill/powder to begin with is gonna be your biggest hurdle.

SWIM has 15.0cm medium-flow qualitative filter papers that he bought from an online lab supply store...

Then I would say that he/she is fully prepared for take-off!

Haha thanks, SWIM supposes that there must be much trial & error involved before perfecting this experiment as it proved a little more difficult than he presumed.

[seejaneshred]

congrats DAD! ! ! This response with the many others is, SWIM feels, a very complete purification process. SWIM totally understand what was once hazy to someone whos done reactions but not this particular process. Thanks bro ! ! !

[gilligan_911]

mr le junk,

SWIM was wondering what your position would be on using some acetone that was found in his house. its in a can and it says that its 100% pure acetone but swim isnt sure how old it although he is sure its not contaminated because he used some of it a while ago to clean finish off a wooden pipe. ill take a pic and try to get it up asap.

[seejaneshred]

oooh ohh, I can answer this one! ! ! Dont be a cheapskate. sorry, do the epsom salt wash and roll with it. SWIM did the exact same thing.

[gilligan_911]

dam. swim figured as much. thanks for the quick advice. yea but then swim'll just buy a gallon and make a crap load of it. :]

[seejaneshred]

le junk, where ya at??? Big problems. What happens when the epsoms salts that you shook up in the acetone and let settle for 24hrs and more does not completely settle?? there is powder at the bottom of this persons, not me, acetone and the acetone is cloudy she says. its been like that forever. please say it can be used as they do not want to wait another 24-48hrs. ???????????? wont the crystals still go to the bottom?? and the binders kinda float???

[Capita]

How would you actually dose how much product you have of mda mdma ect??

[gilligan_911]

swiy would use an electronic scale, preferably one with a .002 gram +/- and try to dose around 120mgs.

on a different note.

yes! swim is feeling very happy at this moment. after months of not having the money or time to pursue this happy lab, swim has gotten almost everything he needs.

swim ordered a liter of the acetone that Mr. L specified and is waiting for his med/low flow filters to arrive in the mail, which should happen tomorrow. a little birdie told swim that he would give him a bunch of low dose mdxx pills to try it out. 2 days from tomorrow is friday, and luckily a dance is happenin that day. oh joy.

[Hyperspaceblastoff]

thx 4 ur tek bro
i posted it on another site as well and gave u credit
more ppl need to benefit off this tek
hope u dont mind

[dominix]

Just wondering, will this method allow you to keep behind other products such as amphetamines that were in the original pill? Will other types of mdma be extracted (like MDA for example)
thanks.

[gilligan_911]

mmm no answers to previous posts but swim will continue his molly quest.


so swim recently (3 days ago) acquired two (2) "red thumbs up" MDMA tabs. he knows they are mdxx at least thanks to his mecke testing kit. he printed out le junks tek and followed it to the dot, he has the acetone suggested and the proper filters.

before the wash swim weighed the 2 tabs on his scale and found them to be around 350mg ea. (they were large barrel). swims scale is only a .1g and together they weighd .7g

after the wash and 48hr air dry swim tested the powder again with the mecke (positive) and weighd the resulting power which was much less, only about .1gm. being in the usa swim is used to low mdma pills but the resulting powder seemed a lot less that it should have been.

swim capped up the powder and took it around 11am with nothing in his tummy besides the glass of oj he used to down the cap. nothing was felt for a good hour and even then it was just barely noticeable. it definetly felt like a low mdma roll but whats troubleing swim is that swims friend took just one unwashed pill and said it was the best roll hes had. he has rolled just as much as swim and swim is wondering if maybe he did something wrong in the wash.

any replies really appreciated.

[pyroarchy]

SWIM has a quart of acetone, so would the acetone stay anhydrous for along time? Assuming if the lid was kept on as much as possible in between siphonings. Or can SWIM just add like 5g of the baked epsom salts to about 500ml of acetone for a small washing? SWIM is now waiting to make anhydrous acetone, soon as she gets a reply!

Did swiy test both pills or just one? Swiy could have just been unlucky and gotten the low dose pills of the boat. What kind of filters was swiy using? And did swiy test the binders(waste products) for mdxx?

[gilligan_911]

thank you milkman! yea swim is a very careful lab rat. he tested both "red thumbs up" with a marquis reagent and they both were positive.

the filters swim is using are low/med flow bought from an online chemistry store. the acetone he uses is lab quality.

after the wash and 2 day dry period swim tested the remaining powder and it turned positive again. then swim tested some of the residue on the filter and found a small amount of mdxx presence.

there wasnt a significant amount that might have made the difference between the .1g swim had of leftover powder so swim doesnt think that was the issue.

swim plans on going out and buying some espom salts and pour those into his acetone just as a safety precaution.

pyroarchy how long has said swiy had their acetone? and assuming the lid has been kept mostly on chances are that its still anhydrous. but as swim now believes its never a bad idea to make sure 200% that it is by adding the epsom salts. swiy should follow lejunks method for the acetone and then continue on from there. good luck and please reply with results!

Sorry for misunderstanding me! My bad! The acetone is not anhydrous yet, but SWIM wanted to know how much baked epsom salts to add to a small amount of acetone? SWIM has a 1 quart can of hardware store grade acetone. Didnt want to make the whole quart anhydrous and have it go bad in a few months or so you know?

ah ok. that makes more sense. well as lejunk said, the ratio of epsom/acetone to make it anhydrous is ~20grams/1 litre. if the acetone is properly stored after the epsom is added (as in not moved at all) it should be fine. remember that the goo that forms on the bottom of the can should stay there or it will ruin the acetone. if your worried about it, split the acetone up into sealable containers and then add the needed epsom.

[pyroarchy]

SWIM went ahead other night and baked up some epsom salts, didnt crush them up fine enough though very clumpy, will use razorblade next time. Used 14 grams for 500ml, oops! SWIM would of ordered some Anhydrous Acetone off the net but shipping is pricey for hazmat goods. SWIM is guessing that going overkill wont do much harm, correct? Here is some pictures (sorry had to make a external link since the pictures are very large + to keep the quality good).

I just read through this whole thread and I wanted to make sure I understood some things and ask some questions.

It was stated in the beginning that just doing the acetone wash would not remove amphetamines, so would this work on say some Adderall(mixture of dextroamphetamine and amphetamine)? A friend of mine has lots of Addrall XR and thinks this might be worth doing.

What chemicals does this(just the acetone wash) work for? I'm thinking that if this works for MDMA, MDA, PMA, and amphetamines then it would work for other phenethylamines as well. The same friend is doing an alcohol extraction on some Peruvian Torch right now and is thinking that this would work on the sticky tar. If so then it would definitely be worth doing.

The last thing I was wondering about is what kind of things are low-medium flow filters usually used for? I'm taking some summer classes and the school I go to is a very large really good school(still a little surprised I got in lol), especially in the sciences, so I'm guessing the department of chemistry's store will have some filters my friend can get. Supposing they have them; if someone asked him what he was using them for, even if just making friendly conversation, he doesnt want seem suspicious when he doesnt have an answer.

So Le Junk, what does swiy think about the whole cotton ball thing? I'm guessing it would really depend on what the physical characteristics of the fillers and other stuff that didnt dissolver in the acetone; like if its thick, thin, runny, etc.

[pyroarchy]

SWIM found some pictures of a cleaning, started with 960mg of product. After 3 cleaning passes, SWIM ended up with 620mg of product. SWIM thinks the product needs to be powderized more, it seems most of it was very tiny rocks. Heres some pictureshttp://www.blunted.us/pure/
