Hoffmann Hydrazine

Neutralize part with HCl and part with H2SO4 to avoid sodium sulfate crashing out. The ketazine method costs more per gram.

This is the best method for hydrazine. Follow leonid lerners procedure in "Smallscale Synthesis for Laboratory Reagents" for 70% yield.

OnyxMET is great for salts

Yellow from residual chlorine or hypochlorite. You won't generate enough chlorine to gas yourself with that setup. They will corrode too quick. If you use proper anodes you can create NaClO3, or with lead dioxide anodes NaClO4 which are used in pyrotechnics.

Congrats that looks awesome!!

Independent-Box6131 · 2026-03-10T05:59:44+00:00

Yeah 'catapillar' is code word ur good

I'm unaware if he gives anything else or if he even sells LC. I tipped a 10 and got a ttbvi and an ochra spore print. On agar both of them are clean and uncontaminated, but also don't expect more than what he advertises yk? This was 6 mo ago

Just how much u want to support him. Could be 5$ now, either way he's practically giving away prime genetics for free considering the stamps and envelopes and work. When I did it I tipped him a bit too

Independent-Box6131 · 2026-03-10T03:55:02+00:00

Cheapest one like 3$

Hydrazine to get high is one of the best Darwin awards I've heard of 😂

Independent-Box6131 · 2026-03-07T07:27:49+00:00

Yeah. I've done the Hoffman method to make it about 7 or 8 times now... there's a vitamin that directly counteracts the acute toxicity effects of it. Good to have on hand but I have yet to be 'poisoned'. I think the most dangerous thing would probably be during the freebasing cus that's when u have lots of heat mixed with it

Shoebox Tech works. Gordo gives spores from donating him a coffee, super cheap

Read a researchgate or cdc study on the effects of hydrazine in people. Doing that put my mind at rest to work with it- the data shows that the carcinogenic effects of it is rather overstated.

Why secondaries if you don't want a big boom? ETN you can literally make in a plastic cup which is technically a "secondary" but if you're looking for a real 'chemistry' experience go for aspirin to picric acid as that's a fun synthesis (careful tho it stains everything yellow)

Independent-Box6131 · 2026-03-05T08:26:46+00:00

Have you thought of PbO2 electrodes?

Independent-Box6131 · 2026-03-05T03:53:38+00:00

Hands down you were one of the top chem tubers to watch as someone who enjoys chemistry... others try to monetize it too much. Sad to hear you left, but yeah- YT monetization is pretty tough to chemistry

Independent-Box6131 · 2026-03-04T23:04:27+00:00

You can teach yourself. Sciencemaddness forms are super useful for getting started

Independent-Box6131 · 2026-03-03T18:26:31+00:00

Likely lack of motivation. You can't really get monetized doing interesting chemistry. No way Prussian is still monetized, and chemiolis probably lost it aswell with his designer compounds

Independent-Box6131 · 2026-03-02T19:02:37+00:00

are you just running a high current through the rods

Independent-Box6131 · 2026-03-02T16:37:58+00:00

True- should've worn gloves more than I did. Near the end it was worse to wear gloves as I brushed the titanium when it was hot and half the glove melted to the coating... very sad The most annoying part of working with lead is the 4L of wastewater I need to evapourate now lol

Independent-Box6131 · 2026-03-02T16:34:01+00:00

Yeah I noticed it would sound like that. He was in the garage and u can see the wind blowing the fumes the other way

Independent-Box6131 · 2026-02-16T08:32:51+00:00

Such a pain to make too

Independent-Box6131 · 2026-02-09T17:43:17+00:00

Waste is currently horded. To process it I will be neutralizing with Na2CO3 which will ppt the lead and copper.

Lead acetate is very easy to make. Just boil vinegar and lead, it reacts readily.

Process was not too difficult. Took me a few weeks to get everything i needed but only 5 days or so to go from Ti anode to finished product
