Someone sent me a PM asking for tips on doing a A/B (Acid to Base) conversion on some Cocaine HCL so I thought I would post it a few places as well...
First I gather supplies...
500ml of Petroleum Ether (ebay)
Small Bottle of 29% Ammonium Hydroxide (Same guy on ebay)
60ml Syringes with Large Diameter Blunt Tipped Needles (Amazon)
(Only need 2 needles, but need a bunch of syringes as they lock up from the non-polar solvent after 1 or 2 uses!!)
Mark One Syringe Water or H2O and ALWAYS Use Just That one to Add or Draw Off Water
Shot Glass
Small Glass Eye Dropper
Two Small Sturdy Glass Bottles with Metal (Not Plastic) Caps
(Spice Aisle at Supermarket...I use Poppy Seed Bottles)
Glass Stir Rod (I use an old "Dabber" with a broken Tip)
8 oz Mason Jar
91% IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol)(local drug store or supermarket)
Distilled Water (local drug store or supermarket)
PH Test Strips (Petsmart/Fish Store/Pet Store)
(Salt Water kind usually go up to PH 12, and fresh water kind down to PH6)
Small Fan
Large Concave Dinner Plate
Small Concave Salad Plate
Safety Razor Blades(Hardware Store/Paint Scrapper Blades)
Cocaine HCL
First I put 5 full eye droppers of Distilled water in the shot glass...
Then I add 1 Full eye dropper of 29% Ammonium Hydroxide to the shot glass and mix well...
Next I add 1 Gram Cocaine to bottle and fill with 80ml distilled water...(80ml water to every gram of Cocaine is correct for larger amounts)...
Stir well till all cocaine is dissolved (No need to chop or crush it should all dissolve by stirring as 1 Gram pure cocaine will dissolve in as little as 2ml Distilled water)...
Add 1 drop Ammonium Hydroxide from shot glass...should turn milky if any Cocaine is present and should dissapear after stirring...
Add 2 drops Ammonium Hydroxide from shot glass and stir...if milkiness stays keep stirring for a minute...
If milkiness dissapears...add 4 drops Ammonium Hydroxide from shot glass and stir 2 minutes...
At this point around a PH of 7.6 to PH 8 (depending on what its cut with) a sticky oily substance should start forming on the glass rod...This is the cut and not the base....
Be careful when stirring cause at this point if the glass rod touches the glass walls of the Bottle while stirring the sticky/oily cut will also stick to the walls and come out with the solvent on the Ether (non-polar Pulls)...
Continue adding 2 or 3 drops of Ammonium Hydroxide from the shot glass and stirring in between for 1 to 2 minutes until base starts forming and sticking to glass rod, and you can see the base separating out and sinking when you stop stirring...
You want to get it to PH of 12 to get all the base out...Going over will not damage the Base but I often find it leaves an emulsion between Polar and Non polar layers that takes a while to separate and that you also need to be very careful not to siphon out when you draw off Ether=(Non Polar Layer ) to evaporate....
If you cant measure PH just keep adding Ammonium Hydroxide from shot glass and stirring till no more milkiness is observed when adding Ammonium Hydroxide and the bottle stinks like Ammonia after stirring for a few minutes...
Put glass rod aside...
Fill bottle to rim with Non polar Solvent (Petroleum Ether or DiEthyl Ether or Hexane or VM&P Naptha...etc
Cap tight and shake very gently...you will probably still see some base in the middle layer...
Siphon off Non Polar layer at top with Large Syringe with Blunt Tipped Needle being careful not to go more than 3/4 way to middle layer or Water/Base/Ammonia Layer on Bottom....
Empty syringe into 2nd Clean Glass Bottle...
Do this 2 more times with fresh Ether and also put in the 2nd clean bottle...
Add fresh distilled water to non polar in fresh clean bottle, cap and shake well...
This time draw off water only from Under Non-Polar Layer and discaard...
Do this twice...
After the second Wash...dont draw off the water...
Draw off Just the Non-Polar (Ether, Etc...) and put most on Large Plate and some on small plate with fan pointing at them in a warm well ventilated room that is no where near an open flame (Gas Stove or Hot Water Heater or Furnace for example...)
In an hour or so depending on how warm the room is the non-polar would have started evaporating to the point that it is super saturated and you will start to see wet crystal clumps forming...
At this point remove the fan or have it blowing indirectly or it could blow some of the freebase off the plate...
Three Ether pulls for me take around 3 to 4 hours to fully evaporate and dry from the large plate...
The reason for the small plate is it evaporates faster so you have some to smoke in the meantime...
Just Please remember Richard Freaking Pryor and Don't Light Your Torch Anywhere Near where the large plate is still evaporating!!!!
You will know its fully dry when you try and scrape it up off the plate with a Razor Blade and it is so stat-icy that it sticks to the blade and your fingertips constantly...
You can also buy a Reptile Mat as long as it has variable heat settings and speed up the evaporation process by placing the plates on it during non-polar evaporation if you like...just stay below the boiling point of the ether by about 10 Degree Fahrenheit...it will result in smaller crystals due to the quicker evaporation of the non-polar but wont effect yield at all.
There you have it...Clean Freebase Cocaine!!!!!
PS: Take the mason jar and instead of discarding water/Ammoia/Base and water from cleaning Non-Polar...
Save it all in Mason Jar...Take Glass rod and stir it thru ether layer in Slop(Mason Jar) till you get as much freebase and sticky goop off as possible...
I save the slop jar and when there is a couple inches of ether and I am out of Base I siphon off...wash ether and evaporate and usually get a nights worth of Yellowish Crystals to get me through the Jone-sing!!
If you don't want to do this the only way to clean Glass Rod of all the sticky cut gunk is with the 91% IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol), some Hot Water and Paper Towels!!
Now all you have left is to VAPE (Not Smoke or Burn) the Freebase and get blasted...
I use a Glass Vapor Genie (Google It) and it works the best for Vaping Base as well as Vaping DMT!!!!
I suggest if you cook up a Gram that you have some fast acting Opioid's around like Heroin or Crush-able Oxycodones to help Ease the Freeze :)
Personally with me that helps cause once I start a nights session I have to do the freebase till there is no more freebase left to do :)
I would be happy to answer any questions...
Look for the nigga with the whitest snow
No buying from no nigga that you don't know
Make yo way to the kitchen where the stove be
You get the baking soda I gots the D
Get the triple beam and measure out yo dope
Mix one gram of soda every seven grams of coke
And shake it up until it bubble up an get harder
Then sit the tube in some ready made cold water
Twist the bitch like a knot while it's still hot
And watch that shit while it can rise to the fuckin top
Now ya cocaine powda is crack
Nigga I hopes you strapped cause you might get jacked
