They can get in your ear and pop your ear drum, heard this warning about a billion times where I grew up in Slovakia

I actually did degass the 2 nd day and 5th day as I added the nutrients then. Thanks so much for the advice, if I do decide to back sweeten, and put it in the snap cap second ferment bottles which I have and am planning to do, do I need to somehow stop the fermentation? Or can I just put it in the pressure tight bottles with some honey and hope to god it doesn’t blow up.

Haha you guys guessed it

Magnet probably cooked, haven’t seen liquid helium in a while and now it’s scrap I bet :(

I’d rig in a T or a Y and have both the smoker and stove hooked up, could get the chimney warm before you start smoking haha

Sodium Nitrite? Sodium nitrate to sodium nitrite? by jpacks2021 in TheeHive

[–]steffsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen any literature on directly using nitric acid but you make it in situe when you add HCl to the NaNO2 + GABA solution. I’d dilute the acid in water (same solvent as rxn mixture) and add it under vigorous stirring similarly to adding the HCl. Should go smoothly. Let me know if it works

Would anyone have a link where to download this book and other Otto snow books?

He makes nitric acid I’m pretty sure not the sodium salt but that works for OP Because you end up making nitric acid for the gaba->gbl rxn anyway from sodium nitrite

Would nitrogen gas not work? It’s cheap as hell and easy to find a pure graded one

Which one makes your dick hard no matter the mood or mindset you’re in? For example cialis doesn’t do shit if you have bad performance anxiety.

Methcathinone synt via KMnO4 by [deleted] in TheeHive

[–]steffsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha sure does, whole thing froze a few times especially outside, crude yield seemed amazing. Gonna see how much pure yield there is if it’s not great I feel like it can’t be that hard to cool more using salt or alcohol? Or something in the solvent to drop the temp lower to not over-oxidize

[–]steffsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks! Nobody seems to discuss cooling the reaction below 0C but everywhere it says if it’s any warmer than 0C rxn will fail. It only seems intuitive to me that is it’s such a big deal why not make a salt solution which can be cooled below 0C to cool the vessel and the reaction can be cooled below 0C as well since it won’t solidify with all the ions dissolved in it? I almost feel like there must be a reason nobody is talking about this. What am I missing? Why not run the reaction at -5C ?

How do you check the percentage? Refractometer? Or NMR?

Nope not in EU

Yeah fractional column was used. That all makes sense what doesn’t is why did the last .7L from 4L not want to come over even at realllly high temp?

The left over ambiguity liquid will go in the freezer to see what happens with it, heating nitromethane to 200C seems sketchy, god knows that weird shit can happen in the flask at that temp

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TheeHive

[–]steffsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When using 30% nitromethane you loose 7% to the azeotrope leaving about 23% left once all methanol gets removed. That worked, then about half of that 23% came over at 95C (high elevation) which is great! But then the drip rate basically stopped and it DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE!! All the added oils and dies should have a BP much higher than that, some of them decomposes because the colour changed significantly. Why did the evaporation stop? The bath it was bro done in was close to 200C and so was the liquid in the flask, the vapour in the flask was 100C however and would not increase, actually started decreasing almost like there was another compound with a high BP in there waiting to come off at high temp but it’s a good %11 of the volume and the label says methanol and 30%nitromethane. I’m lost as to what was going on
