my experience is anything can be dried in a vaccuum oven. Even pulling almost no vaccuum (<5PSI)at barely elevated temps (40C) things will dry out overnight.


somewhat hard method:

As far as drying your cocaine goes, never, ever, ever use a microwave. There are very delicate particles in cocaine that will be easliy compromised in a microwave.

In order to dry moist cocaine, you must use a heat lamp only. It works everytime and will not compromise the quality of your cocaine.

And may I suggest you always wash your surely adulterated cocaine in acetone. Cocaine is insoluble in acetone while many other adulterants are soluble. Just pour about 3 inches of acetone into a beaker or measuring cup and then add all of your cocaine. Stir with a glass stir rod for about 3-4 minutes. Then pour into a coffee filter paper layed inside of an oil funnel for support.

Let drain and then discard the acetone. Remove the filter paper from the funnel and fold over into a bindle. Place the bindle inside of a few paper towels and press firmly to remove any excess acetone.

Carefully open the bindle and let the purified cocaine fall onto a ceramic plate. Rub the filter paper together over the plate to get any remaining cocaine stuck on the paper.

Chop up carefully and let dry under a heat lamp for an hour or so.

other method:

It's probably unconverted base if it's still 'wet' with heat, put in ethanol and acidify with HCl until it's a pH of 6.5-7. Then evaporate over low heat or vacuum, the salt will be dry and flakey.
