need boiling point temp for meth for vaporizer research

[m4gd4l3n]

Hi,

I am doing scholarly research on vaporization of methamphetamine and/or crushed aderall.

Does anyone know the temperature at which the drug boils / vaporizes?

This is a study regarding a vaporizer/heating unit designed to be used with as many recreational drugs as possible. The unit would have a cylindrical chamber about 11mm across and 75mm down that heats materials placed inside to an adjustable temperature, in order to vaporize the active ingredients out of the drug.

Wikipedia and Google - didn't find the boiling temperature in a lot of searches.

Chemfinder - no joy, no vaporization or evaporation temperatures are listed.

Erowid - I already searched but if you have a link to specific pages I missed I'd appreciate being shown what I overlooked.

MSDS does not seem to cover vaporization point or boiling point. I just read a ton of them. I even had a friend look up MSDS sheets from the database of the international pharmaceutical company she works for, which handles cocaine as a raw material. Still no joy, no boiling point listed, no vaporization point listed, sometimes a melting point is listed but that doesn't help me.

I realize most people using these drugs use glass pipes with torch lighters and don't know exactly how high they're heating this, but the info has to be out there somewhere. If anyone has a clue where I should look next I'd really appreciate this.

Thank you all for any assistance you can give!

Swim did test Mamph in the long ago time and thinks the melting point was around 187 F and vapor point was somewhere just over 210 F . Swim will have to look at some notes to be sure . It has been years since swim has thought about this so swim is sure he is off somewhat but it is sure that it is close.

thank you Myzel!

I am 90% sure that Myzel is within 5 degrees on both the MP and VP. The information can be found in a book called " The Merck Index", which should be availible at the public liabrary. SWIM considers it a must have for anyone with chemical curiosities & questions. Basically it is a "an internationally recognized, one-volume encyclopedia of chemicals, drugs, and biologicals...Records contain citations to and information from approximately 800 international chemical, biomedical,and clinical journals; patents issued by 30 countries; books; proceedings; and other standard reference works."
Records contain:

• chemical, common, generic and systematic names (including CAS® names)
• trademarks and associated companies
• CAS® Registry Numbers
• molecular formulae, weights and percentage composition
• capsule statements identifying compound classes and scientific significance
• chemical, biomedical and patent literature references
• physical and toxicity data
• therapeutic and commercial uses
• caution and hazard information"

I have one at home, alas I won't be home fer a day or two...If you cannot locate a Merck locally, shoot me a message (if not possible to do so through this site, send me a message thru my youtube page -user = demonsdemon (hit send message mid-page on the left) and I will look it up and forward the info to you.
Ciao fer now

Ok here's the relevant info from the Merck:

5805: methamphetamine. mol. weight 149.24,
Hydrochloride: crystals, mp 170-175 degrees, bitter taste, sol in water, alcohol, chloroform, practically insoluble in ether. soln is neutral or slightly acidic to litmus

There is additional info avail. which may relate to bp, unfortunately I am transcribing from a hard copy and do not have the time to figure out how to input the chemistry specific symbols here.

Hope that helps.
