Hey has anyone every tried recrystallizing spice in vials? I saw some pictures on erowid that looked like it worked well but i was wondering if it might stick to the sides of the vial to much. SWIM has 250 mg of yellowish spice powder and 200 mg white powder and is wondering if recrystallizing in a vial with a small amount of heptane would work well. Thoughts?
 
I have not tried a vial, i am sure it will work, and sure it has been done, i am sure you can get some nice crystals out of that.

Goodluck and please share some pics if and when you can.
 
Alright y'all the results are in,
My pet tuatara tried recrystallizing said 250 mg of yellowish spice in a vial via freeze precip in the fridge and it didn't really work as well as the friend to the dinosaurs thought it would. All the dirty mimosa residue stuck to the bottom and there were just some measly looking crystals on the side of the vial which stuck to the side making it very hard for the lizard to get them out of the vial. Maybe there just wasn't enough room or it crystallized to fast? Either way said tuatara just recrystallized in a normal jar at room temp and it worked fine. Vials aren't the way to go imo. However MR Tuatara discovered that melting the crystals in the vial with a small amount of heptane in the vial via double boiling works quite nicely and then from there put the spice oil containing heptane in a bigger jar. just thought you oughta know
 
oh I'm sure It would work just fine if you got it down to a science. my tuatara just didn't find it to his liking so is gonna stick to the jar rout. I doubt it makes much difference though.
