Question Meth+aluminium foil WTF ?

[Pajmon]

Hi I bought a meth that I wanted to smoke through aluminum foil but after warming the light, started bubbling and reacted from aluminum foil, aluminum foil completely disintegrated. A hole was made there. Did anything happen to you? Does anyone know what could it be? thank you for every answer

Hi, how thick was your aluminum foil?
If you use thick foils, the problem will be solved.

Next question, what was your methamphetamine like?
Crystal meth or powder meth

 

[Pajmon]

Hi, I'm using a thick aluminum foil, I've smoked many types of meth but it's never happened like this. And it doesn't matter, it was crystal at first but I made it into powder but nothing changed

Well, possibly it was alkaline, aka basic, and it reacted with aluminum foil, I don't know a lot about meth, so it's just a thought

 

[Pajmon]

It is soluble in chloroform, marquis is orange, insoluble in acetone.

 

[Ranof]

If you use meth, try to buy high-quality meth because low-quality meth may affect your brain.

 

[Pajmon]

there won't be a problem with that..

Meta soot should be white.

 

[Ranof]

What color is your soot?

 

[Pajmon]

crystal white

 

[Ranof]

Use glass bubbles or thick aluminum foil.

 

[Ranof]

Aluminum foil should not be wet either.

 

[Pajmon]

It reacts together from Aluminum, not according to what thick aluminum foil I will use the result will be the same. I want to know why this is happening

 

[Ranof]

Let me explain to you in terms of chemical mechanism.
Methamphetamine has an acidic base in the final stage of synthesis. The pH is about two to one. The acid used in methamphetamine is hydrochloric acid. HCl is a very strong halogen acid that reacts with metals in a type I corrosive reaction.
Your methamphetamine probably has a higher amount of HCl, which causes it to react with the aluminum foil and form aluminum chloride, which you will probably see either a yellow powder or a yellow liquid after this happens.

This information is very simple and can be found in all academic books. Please study (increase your knowledge) and then criticize.

 

[Ranof]

Of course, I should mention that amateurs alkalize methamphetamine to reduce its acidity.

 

[Pajmon]

Thank you for your time, it's clear to me

Do you have a question? I'd be happy to help you.
