Cold Water Extraction help!

[Inspektahdek]

Ok, I've read countless posts, instructions, etc. on this matter and at this moment I'm procured 60 5mg tabs from my doctor for herniated disc pain/lumbargo. My pain isn't constant and when it does come around it's hellish. It's either nothing or full blown pain. Anyways, I won't lie, I enjoy getting some pharms elsewhere for recreation and I have a tolerance so when I'm in actual pain I need upwheres to 100mg of hydro and don't really feel like using all that APAP.

In my posession are a bowl, a cup and a T-shirt. I'm trying to do a CWE today of 100mg or 20 tablets of what I was prescribed. From my understanding I crush the pills and put it in a cup or bowl and leave it in the freezer until the APAP crystallizes. After this I take the fine shirt and pour that mixture into another bowl or cup with the shirt over it to filter (I don't have cofee filters). Is this correct so far?

how long do I let it filter or do I just wait for it to stop dripping? Around this part is where I get confused exactly and I'm very cautious about losing any hydro or as little as possible. Ok and after this I take the remaining glop which is still on the shirt between the two containers and I redo the freezing process and filter again and then drink? This is my understanding of how it works. How much water should I use for the 20 vicodin 5/500s? Any help, comments or general care for my liver are well appreciated!

Make sure that it does not actually reach freezing temp. If your soloution freezes you lose everything! It still works even if you cannot feel the APAP crystalize.

tee shirt is much too thin.
use a very fine dress shirt.
muslin has a finer weave.

pm me if you need more help.

I would reccomend saving time by just popping. Your liver is a tough son of a bitch, and the APAP scare has always confused me. It really takes an obscene amount of daily use to fuck up your liver. 60 5mg hydros is nothing.

ya think so? I just get a somewhat unpleasant feeling of eating a bunch of APAP. It's not bad it just feels almost cleaner with norco so I can tell there is a difference

What's a good way to tell that it's ready or whats the average waiting time for you to wait?

also, im using a fine dress shirt btw

the main thing is too not use too much water and to make sure it's just cold, doesent have to be almost freezing. see tylonal cant disolve well in water, it takes 150ml of cold water to disolve 1gram of acetaminophen. Thats allot of water so the small amount in doing a CWE is nothing, even if you do a bad job it's still not gonna have much. Just make sure the final solution isnt too cloudy, it should be pretty clear.

when doing a CWE there are a few points to follow that will make it very fastand easy:

Don't rush it!!!!

for 20 tabs i'd use about 80ml of water.

crush, add to water, stir, put in fridge, not freezer. now leave it there undisturbed until tomorrow. this will allow all the apap to settle and compact a little so that when you decant the liquid the apap will remain.

don't use a T-shirt, use two coffee filters, pre-wetted(very important), already folded into a cone and sitting in a cup(fold the excess down over the rim of your cup to hold the filters in place) which is in the fridge to allow the wet filters to cool to the same temp as your apap/goodie mixture.

honestly, if you leave it over night and decant very carefully you don't even need to filter it. patience makes any CWE fast and easy
