I have a chemistry background, and while reading everyone's responses, I was grew concerned, until I read the recipe. I just came across this thread and wanted to add my point of view. Do you really trust them not to put some really nasty stuff into their product to stabilize it and give it a bit more kick? At least if you make it yourself you know exactly what went into it.Īlso your poppers by definition will be fresher than any bought product.!!! As to leaving it to the so called proffesionals to provide for you. NANO2 can be found on ebay and isobutanol from chem houses. Some like sulphuric acid are on the methamphetamine watch list. Getting the chemicals can be a bit of a problem. Making outside should take care of the gas issue, don't suck your fingers should protect from sodium nitrite poisoning, and he is absolutely correct add the acid to the water (not the other way round)to prevent violent exothermic reaction. But even if you make a complete hash of it you will get some some poppers for sure. If you don't have the proportions right you just will end up with less poppers. The yield should be the same depending on how slow you add the alcohol/acid to the sodium nitrite. Basically you are converting the alcohol to its corresponding alkyl nitrite. As it turns out the proportions are not too critical. I have made poppers using a similar recipe. I believe the 0 degrees refers to celsius. The more I look at the instructions, the more I think of.Chernobyl !!!
Perhaps it's a good thing one can find such manuals (however dubious they may be) over the web, so everyone in his right mind, and not experienced in chemistry, would only by reading refrain from even trying. Looking at this manual, it raises more questions than it answers, f.ex.: "cool down to 0 degrees" WHAT? Celsius, Farenheit? Or Kelvin? (Nah, scratch the last one) Different chemicals behave differently under various temperatures (even I as a non-chemist know that) As one can read, the whole process simply don't end at this stage.Īll in all, I'd rather leave that to those who actually know what they're doing, thus buying product from them. Yet, we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves: the ingredients don't sound like easy to come by anyways.īut the targeted result would still not be the desired "refined" product. Well Basil, I was referring to the technical aspect.īut you're absolutely right! Given, one got it right - what would he do with the remaining waste product, where to dispose of it? These thoughts came to me, just when I hit the "Post!" button. For beginners, the outcome is rather uncertain, if all components are not administered in minute detail.Īnd the potential hazard to others, Five-O? When you write:For beginners, the outcome is rather uncertain, you do mean that there is a good chance of serious injury, death, serious danger to the public? Anybody that is even thinking of this is a candidate for being sectioned, i.e possibly insane. And a walk-in freezer would be advantageous. It is beyond my comprehension that anyone would even consider this.Īvoidable if one wears proper protection. It sounds a really dangerous thing to attempt.ĥ warnings about things that can go wrong, including certain death !!!Ī very dangerous notion.
