Measuring RC’s

[nicholson_tyler]

I just figured i would share a few ways i've eitehr come accross or came up with to measure RC's without the use of a scale. This is for those of you that are DYING to try them, but don't have a scale and don't want to litteraly die. Hopefully it helps a few people out, and perhaps atleast gives you a better idea of how much your taking than "eyeballing" it would..

Method 1:
This is the method i use all the time now. I came up with it either by taking some of the known methods and adding/changing it a little.. Either that or subliminaly was taught it from the interent without knowing..

Materials:
1. Obtain a known amount of the chemical (I.e. if you orgered 500mg, when you recieve it, you know you have about 500mg, therefore no scale required..)
2. Get a bottle with a screw lid (i used a washed out Deslymn Cough syrup bottle).
3. Obtain an eye dropper that measures in .25ml increments and a liquid syring if you want to make the process easier (Found this at walmart in the baby food isle for about a $1dollar canadian each, therefore for you american guys, that is about 1/4th of a penny.. just take some wire snipes and cut off 1/4th of a penny to pay for it..)
4. Water OR 99% Alcohol.
5. Empty Gel caps (i got 500 Single "O" gel caps from a herbal shop for a little over 10 dollars.. Again for you americans, that is about 5 cents)
6. Glass panel (ie. from a picture frame, or a mirror, it doesnt matter.)
7. Razor Blade

Intructions:
Using Water...
1. Disolve the known amount of the RC chemical into a known amount of water. (I disolved 2 grams into 50mL of bottled water..I used the syringe to get 50mL of water into the Deslymn bottle, then dumped in the 2 grams and shook gently until it was visibly disolved. You dont have to use 2 grams, or 50mL, but i think you get the idea of what im doing.)
2. If you plan to dose right away, take the eye dropper and take some of the mixture and drop into the gelcap, usualy only .25ml of liquid will fit.. then swallow quickly for they disolve..(for me it was .25mL in each capsule making it about a 10mg dose.. 2000mg/50mL = x/ .25mL therefore x = 10mg) If you want to store these (as i usualy do), instead of putting the drop into the gel cap, drop it onto your glass panel or mirror.. Wait an hour or so, until the water evaporates leaving the crystalized residue. Take a razor blade, and now scrape the residue into a pile, then put this DRIED crystal residue into the gelcap. If it is nice and dry these should store for a very long time. Now you know every pill should have about 10mg give or take (if you put 2 gram into 50mL). Remember when using the eyedropper to accuratly measure it , because over .25ml could add 2mg or more depending on how bad you measured.

Using Alcohol...
Do all the "Using Water" steps, but instead use alcohol. There is no need to evaporate it, because FROM WHAT I HEAR, alcohol does not disolve gelcaps (I DO NOT KNOW THIS FOR SURE, i never attempted to use alcohol). Just put the drop of the alcoholic mixture into the gelcap, and it should be fine.. I would assume these wouldn't store as long as they would if they were dried using the water method. If you want to get creative add some food coloring so you know what RC's are in which pill based on the color (color code them).

Method 2: Will be posted in a few seconds.

Good idea posting on weighing without a scale even if it is bit dangrous
