Ace Wash BrainBlast Peruvian : AvengersReborn | Torhoo darknet markets
BrainBlast's Peruvian listing was a great find, especially for the price, it's one of the better ratios currently on Arch.
Potency is good, solvent profile really is not bad, but, wanted to see what kind of improvements could be made using a simple ace wash.
Items & Units of Measure
* Initial Weight: 6g
* Washing Solvent: Technical anhydrous 100% acetone & Labeled Lab Bottle
* Heated magnet stirrer
* 200mL Beaker & Glass Beaker Lid
* Büchner funnel filter and flask
* Medium flow lab filters
* 18" Pyrex baking dish
* 200F 1hr
* 2 x air tight containers
* Silica desiccant color activated beads
* Mango and Citrus Terpenes
* Isopropanol 99%
Methodology
0) Use Isopropanol to wipe down and sterilize lab equipment and desiccant chambers, not necessary, just a habit
1) Hot plate and break down material being washed
2) Add broken down material and magnet to beaker
3) Add Acetone 15mL/g material to beaker, use beaker lid, stir for 5-10 mins
4) Decant into Büchner funnel filter
5) Repeat step 3 & 4
6) Repeat step 3 & 4
7) Remove magnet and let washed material settle to bottom of beaker
8) At this point the remaining acetone should be pretty clear
9) Dump material into Büchner funnel filter and use beaker lid to cover while draining into the flask
10) After the initial acetone drains into the funnel, give the material two more rinses with the lab bottle
11) Remove filtered material, transfer to Pyrex dish, use acetone lab bottle to rinse filter of any remaining material
12) Bake at 200F for 1 hour, until all acetone completely evaporates, scrape and transfer material into desiccant chamber for >24hrs
Results
Final weight: 5.38g
Recapture: 89.7%

Alternate Lab Experiment
One desiccant chamber is odorless, the other has a lab filter folded, which is resting on the desiccant beads with mango and citrus terpenes added to the filter to act like a diffuser and create a flavored lavada of sorts. In theory the washed material should act as a desiccant for the terpenes diffusing within the container, will report back in 48 hours. Also, make sure that the washed material is not touching the desiccant silica beads or the terpenes but still has a gap so that any remaining acetone or moisture can be absorbed by the beads.
Lab Notes
Alternatively, you can just make it less complicated and use simple TEK: solvent wash of your choosing (polarity appropriate), swirl, decant, and place the beaker in front of a space heater until any remaining solvents evaporate.
Conclusion 48 - Hour Update
Post 24 hours, it felt like the acetone was still lingering slightly, and back in the oven it went. New protocol going forward, since Acetone has a boiling point of 135F, after wash and filter, oven curing is now 135F for 4 hours, then 24-48 hour desiccant cure.
Additionally, it was a little difficult to distinguish between the smell of the terpenes/solvent, so after going back into the oven, there was nearly no trace of the terpene smell present.
Not wanting to give up, busted out the 200 % ethyl alcohol/technical grade ethanol and then added 5 drops of the terpenes, unfortunately this is a case of where less is way more. After drying for 2 hours at 135F, the final product was fairly unpalatable.
Moreover, there was an unintentional harm reduction discovery, which could be used by those who want to quit slowly but are having a hard time, or for those who might want to put a governor on their coke. The smell was something reminiscent of one of those hippy tree hugger orange peel oil based cleaners with the addition of green/unripe mango skins vs what a super juicy ripe mango smells and tastes like. This was not the intended smell to say the least, after a few bumps, was over it. Now looking back, skip the citrus based terpenes, the smell is really biting, and at around 1 drop of terpenes per g of material with 15-30mL denatured ethanol is more than ample, dissolved the C-HCL and then let everything evaporate. Started off with 1g and recaptured 0.968g, so not too bad.
Since the smell was too overpowering to enjoy, the material received a secondary Ace wash, as terpenes are soluble in the anhydrous acetone. So repeated the wash protocol, and filtered the material, then baked for another 4 hours at 135F. The final product looks like space or diamond dust, it's really pretty, sparkling and shimmers in the light with a consistency of sugar sand and flour if that makes sense. Typical bump sizes are 25mg - 50 mg of high quality tier 1 perico, the bumps have dropped down to 10-20mg, I made the mistake to take two back to back bullet bumps or 50mg and this was not fun, I realized after the fact that the material is refined and extremely bone dry, so you have to do mini bumps, there is a slight mango odor that is pleasant and the powder insufflates like air almost, it disappears almost instantly. Also, there is no desire to retouch every 15-30 mins, good with 10-20mg/hour.
