Just had a very interesting conversation with one of the sick kids....

The original SOP used carbon, ask @Photon_noir he came up with the original water clear d8 recipe.

I bet you I’m right

I get ppl who hit me up all the time asking about c bleach and carbon for d8

Never once have I had someone hmu asking about H2SO4 or even Tosic acid for ANY reaction

Most ppl dont know about those patents

You can google delta 8 and find columbos SOP to make it from c bleach

Note: I’ve been doing consults on water clear d8 for over 2 years

Hospital smell makes me think of a plastic cartridge

Looks like we can only edit twice

I meant prior to distilling here.

Lol you probably are right. I don’t know anything about the black market. I’m just looking at it from the angle of an average undereducated user can attempt it and with success without distillation, so maybe I’m not giving illegal operations enough credit. Was never attempting to point fingers or question anyone’s procedures. This situation is effecting multiple industries and costing lives and jobs so when people get close minded and think “well that’s not how I do it, so there’s no way people could be doing it any other way” I get a little agitated. But I’m not a medical doctor or black market extractor. Just figured maybe if we had some information that could help solve this situation this is the best website to do that. I’ll stop communicating on the matter not really my place anyway

Just for the record, I never used that method. That was one of my first posts on the forum, long before I knew what I know now. 100% of the d8 I’ve made has been with adsorbants as part of a distillation. I’ve done it with an without packing. The one time I did it without I did end up with cbleach in my distillate. I ended up going in for a third pass to clean it up.

I still use a specific brand AC reflux and distilate almost 95% conversion
Formula from @richpel

I heard citric acid works well for high d8 conversion.

I think the secret for high yield is refluxing it

The highest conversion I’ve gotten in the flask is 75% using t5 / t41

I’ve heard that too. Also heard you can get very good conversion with just dialing in time and temperature, no distillation needed

Yabbut @Roguelab said ac so I’m wondering what kinda ac they using?

Probably acidic AC since we need an acid

He mentioned it being a specific brand…

Me and my big mouth :angry:
Ok my guess is any carbon should do the trick indeed refluxing for some hours at a temp higher than decarboxilating then distilling from the same flask with content
Using fiberglas as scrubies in the head and no reflux in the head keeps
Carbon out so a slow run

Hi Good Life Gang. My name is Natalie and I am trying to raise awareness about making sure people buy licensed products and spotting counterfeit vapes. I work for Spectrum and am putting together a docs-style piece on this and am trying to find someone who is willing to talk – on camera or their identity blurred. Could you help put me in touch with the person who got sick so that it helps others?

The traditional market will always be here even after federal. You should approach this at a different angle. You need to have a conversation with the pros/ cons of traditional market and non traditional. Let the consumer decide on what to choose. Just because it passes cat 1-3/heavy metal testing doesn’t mean it’s safe.

Counterfeits are very easy to spot. Easiest give away is labeling.

yeah simply because the average person has little idea where to obtain tosic acid. The major chem suppliers might be a little shy to sell to an individual

Amazon has it, that’s where I got it from
