Purity - Does swiy purify cocaine ?

[trptamene]

First of all, since this thread relates to cuts if one already hasn't, they should read this thread:

[tek] cocaine cutting 101 : the best cuts and cutting techniques thread !

As most swimmers know the purity of cocaine can vary widely based on geographic location and who swiy knows. So I was therefore curious how many swimmers purified their goods?

There is a poll attached with these options:

1) Swiy ALWAYS purifies their product
2) Swiy only purifies if their is a purity issue with the product
3) Swiy NEVER purifies their product

Just an FYI:

There are a variety of different TEK's and threads on the subject on D-F.

Including:

1) TEK - LeJunk's Cocaine Purification Technique

Crush up your 3 grams of adulterated cocaine as fine as possible. I have personally found that using a fine screened juice strainer best for getting finely ground powder.

Pour your crushed up cocaine into 45-50 ml.s of acetone. Put the cap back onto your acetone bottle immediately to avoid any moisture from the air getting in. Stir the cocaine in the acetone for approx. 3-5 minutes making sure to get around the bottom edges etc. Cover with a small piece of paper or something to keep any moisture out and let settle until the cleaned cocaine crystals are on the bottom and your acetone at the top has become completely clear or dirty looking, but free of any crystals floating in it. This should take anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes.

Now, carefully pour your dirty acetone into a filter placed inside of your plastic funnel and resting atop your drinking glass. It is important on this first run to stop as short of any cocaine falling out into the filter as possible (it's okay if some crystals fall into the filter paper, leave them there). This will provide us with the opportunity to perform a second wash on the crystals in the beaker. Now, with some crystals stuck to the side of the beaker from pouring and most at the bottom, pour 30 more ml.s of fresh acetone into the beaker trying to collect those crystals stuck on the side while pouring in. Stir again and cover. This time, pour your entire contents into the filter paper. If some crystals are left clinging to the beaker, pour a lil' fresh acetone in, swirl and pour them in as well. With your clean crystals inside the filter paper, cover. Once all, or most of the acetone has drained thru into the drinking glass, pour 20 more ml.s of fresh acetone into the filter paper. This will provide us with the third and last cleansing. Cover and let drain completely. This could take 5-10 minutes at the most.

Once all of the acetone has drained thru, carefully remove the filter paper containing the newly cleaned and now beautiful crystals and place it between three or four paper towels. Fold the towels over the filter paper and press firmly on the cocaine to absorb any additional acetone. Discard paper towels and place the somewhat dried filter paper still containing the crystyals under a heat lamp for approx. 20 minutes. Remove from under heat lamp.

Now, this last step is very important. For your own health and for the true taste, feel and aesthetics of the newly cleaned cocaine, you must let it evaporate on it's own, still inside of the filter paper for at least 24 hours in a non-humid environment. At the 24+ mark, gently heat the crystals, while still inside of the filter paper, for approx. 10 minutes or so. Remove from heat.

Carefully open the filter paper and let the clump of beautiful cocaine fall out onto an awaiting ceramic plate. Rub the filter paper together over the plate if any is stuck to it. Carefully open up the clump to examine your newly formed, clean and pure crystals. This will resemble nothing of which you started with, no matter how good or bad it looked.

2) Deckstruct's TEK in- TEK - Making Cocaine freebase with ammonia methods thread

This is an A/B extraction:

1. Cocaine in water (1g/60mL)
2. dilute ammonia in half or to about 10% whatever doesn't really matter.
3. pour in some ammonia and stir with non-porous rod (glass). Keep adding then stirring and adding then stirring until water no longer "paints" white when ammonia comes in contact. (as in the second picture above)
4. let base settle water should be clear.
5. pass through filter paper #2 and use some clean water to rinse off the base caught in the filter. if any base gets stuck on the sides of the jar use clean swoosh around and wash out onto the filter mass.
6. let drain and dry out. pressing the filter betwwen the hands will squeeze water through but the wizard runs the risk of pressing to hard and ripping the filter paper. air dry if fine just takes a long time.

Dry base is stable enough to have in bag for a long while without any penalty.

When the wizard decides to form the HCl salt then he is not allowed to rest until finished

Do in this order and remember it is VERY IMPORTANT to not do this with a HCl acetone solution that has been shelved for any amount of time. SWIM doesn't know why but the acetone will begin to turn yellow and does not produce desired results.
1. add dry base to ether (1g/15mL)
2. add 36-38% HCl Lab Grade if possible to acetone (.2mL/10mL) for every gram of base going to be crystalized. So [1g base/15mL Ether/10mL acetone/.2mL HCl]
3. add HCl/acetone solution all at once to base/ether solution. immediately it turns white as milk then crytals begin to settle
4. when all crystals settle and the ether looks completely transparent then slowly swoosh crystals around and pass through funnel shaped filter paper makig sure tho catch the ether undrneath in a clean dry jar.
5. pass some clean acetone over crytals in the filter and also collect in the jar.
6. dry out by fanning with unheated air. (NO HOT AIR BLOW DRYING!!!!)
7. a small electric fan works well. Just far enough away so that no crystals fly out.
8. Drying is determined when a piece can be placed on a mirror and easily powders up. if the caine gets clumped up then it is still "ether wet"

Also even if it doesn't seem to matter the relative humidity when doing the crystaliztion greatly affects the outcome. The lower the relative humidty is in the wizards room the better.
water is a bad thing in this process.

3) Purifying your Cocaine! - closed thread
This thread is closed, but may have some good information burried in it, 95% of the time the TEK - LeJunk's Cocaine Purification Technique thread should contain all the information swiy needs


If swiy has never tried this and uses more than a few times a year, they should invest a little time and energy into this and will more than likely will be happy with the results! Feel free to post experiences with details as to the TK and unincriminating pic's of cleaned products, swim would be interested in seeing and reading about this.

[trptamene]

Well...I'll go first )...

SWIM has never purified, but plans on getting some goods soon will try purifying it using LeJunk's TEK...he will post pictures if his crappy camera takes a good enough picture.

[fnord]

swim never gets that much coke due to the fact the prices in his area are sky high and the product is week.his idea of filtering involves putting a cotton filter on the end of a needle.

[Kolon]

SWIM would like to follow LeJunks method but is concered he/she will fuck it up and end up with nothing!

So no purification is ever undertaken. SWIM would like to live next door to someone who is good at LeJunk's method!

On top of this SWIM feels that Europe's charlie is pretty poor quality and will have been cut to death with all sorts, so would require extra filtering which he/she is not capable of doing.

[dbjay417]

SWIM is satisfied with the current quality of product readily available, and does not seek a "higher" high.

well unless SWIY is VERY deep in the game the cocaine he gets has probably nothing to do wih actuall cocaine. Out of my flamingo's experience the pure cocaine high is not as intence as street cocaine. The street cocaine makes you edgy speedy and has an intence kind of delibarate or forced upon euphoria while pure cocaine is more...well from the inside. So to be percise SWIY isnt looking for a "proper" high not higher

SWIM would like to follow LeJunks method but is concered he/she will fuck it up and end up with nothing!

the aceton wash is easy as fuck to perform, you litteraly can do no wrong and your product will be FAR better. The A/B extraction is tougher but doable and the end product litteraly resembles nothing of the initiall

Its the heating and drying out that concerns me, charlie in the oven sounds like something swim could definately fuck up!!!

also unsure what a heat lamp is?

Exactly...swiy just needs to make sure your acetone is completely anhydrous as cocaine hcl readily dissolves in water and anything under completly dry acetone will reduce yield

My inclination is that temperature may be critical here...i think cocaine hcl melts at around 190C (i remember that from blow)... so if one goes above this temp in the oven they will melt their product...which generally should be avoided...you are mostly trying to drive off any residual acetone and god forbid water.

This is true, if one is worried about the oven...skip it and sit on their ass for a few days instead. But based on experience in the laboratory, @ 100C for 3 hrs probably >99% of any residual acetone is gone.

EDIT:

...also I wanted to make a note about the a/b extraction purification. As some, hopefully most, of you know a/b extraction means acid-base extraction. It should be noted that the TEK given in the first post is truely and acid-base extraction and not and acid-crack extraction. i.e., when you have thee freebase pure...you have base here, this is not crack cocaine which is simply a mixture of baking soda, cocaine, water and heat...where the products are cocaine hcl, cocaine feebase...w/e crappy cuts that were in coke to begin with along with various pieces of the carbonate...prolly have sodium bicarb (baking soda) NaHCO3 carb Na2CO3, maybe some carbonic acid if it hasn't went on to make co2 and h2o..
this is crap that you get on the street corner...crack cocaine.

when you have the base..you have "base"...ya, the pure kind

[blowMEaway]

SWIM almost always does simple wash of product. But it's usually still shitty shit just like it was before. SWIM has given up searching for quality, it's just not around anymore. Now SWIM searches the classifieds for reliable time machine to return to 1979.

[epote]

true true but a) you CAN achieve quality, its just harder (not to mention costs more) and b) if it sucks dont buy it

[fnord]

a heat lamp is a red light bulb generally used for growing or keeping things warm.the acetone will evap on its own without heat.itll just take longer.a normall light bulb could also be used.

Thanks for that buddy, swim may well give things a go then.
