I just finished 5c's of a 10 c D**** Kit and I have a major problem!!!!!!
I decided to form crystals using the drip method and came out with some great results. I followed the directions exactly and rinsed the powder numerous times in a painters mask. Anyways, once I allowed the powder to completely dry and broke apart the clumps into a fine powder, I added the powder to the oil/solvent mix. I wanted to make 150mg/ml and D advised me to remove the proper amount of oil and not add solvent. I cut the oil to 57 ml to get around 150mg/ml assuming a 20% loss factor. After I heated the oil and began to filter through the sterile filter, I could only get 10 ml through before the filter clogged. I ran the oil thrugh a coffee filter hoping to remove whatever was clogging the sterile filter. Then I heated the oil and attached a new sterile filter and repeated the process. Once again I clogged after 10 ml. So, I repeated the process of filtering with a coffee filter again. Same fricking result as I clogged a 3rd filter. Finally I was able to pass the remaining 20 ml or so through the last filter and finish with approxamately 50-52 ml.
Needless to say I am pissed that it took 4 filters to get the job done, but I have no clue why this happened. I do fina conversions all the time and can get away with using 1 sterile filter for 4 grams even when making it at 150 mg/ml. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated. I do have a few filters left, but I dont want to use the all up on his final 5c conversion. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems absurd that it would take 4 filters to do 50 ml at 150mg/ml. Thanks for your help!
