In response to a number of requests, we're writing a how-to for defeating OP's. If you don't already know what we're talking about, then it's not something you're interested in, so please don't ask. Credit for first beating the new formula goes to the good people over at Bluelight, some more than others. Our process is based on their good work and ideas. The materials needed include a microwave, a ceramic plate or bowl, a lighter or propane torch, two small rags, a table spoon, a small sheet of glass, a razor blade (preferably a few blades or one and a sharpener), at least one vitamin B12 pill and, of course, one or more OP's. A propane torch is useful as it doesn't create the soot that the lighter does. We'll assume that the reader is using a torch but a lighter works the same way. We'll also assume a plate rather than a bowl, since it provides easier access to the OP.
*There is a chance of destroying the product when using these techniques, if not done correctly. Attempt at your own risk.*
Different plates will heat faster or slower than others in the microwave and some even heat up more in certain spots. A plain, white, ceramic plate is a good choice to start with because the metals in certain glaze colors can heat faster than plain ceramic. Plates that heat up too fast should be avoided because they more commonly burn the OP.
Near the microwave and a source of cold water (faucet or bowl of cold water), set up your plate, your small sheet of glass with a razor blade and a B12 pill on it, your spoon next to the sheet of glass, your torch & ignitor, your rags and your OP. The first time you try this, you should really just use a single OP. More can be used at once but until you get the hang of the process, more increases the risk of burning and is more difficult to heat evenly. I wouldn't use more than about five or six at once with one in the middle and all of the rest touching it, arranged in a circle around the middle one. That's just for those familiar with the procedures. The coating can be removed but we leave it on for some extra shielding from burning. No sign of the coating will remain after kneading and chopping.
Leave the cold water running or have your bowl of cold water ready. Wet the second rag. This will be used to quickly cool the plate should any burning occur and minimize damage. If you ever get the plate wet, it must be dried before going into the microwave. You never want water on the surface of the plate for obvious reasons and it shouldn't be on the bottom, either, because the microwaves will concentrate on those wet spots. Burning is best observed by holding the plate up to a light and looking very closely for smoke. This should be checked regularly and the moment any smoke is seen, quickly press the wet rag to the bottom of the plate. Removing the rag quickly will decrease the chance of cracking the plate or burning the rag and will leave more of the heat.
Use one small rag to hold the soon-to-be-hot plate and never handle the plate without it. There are, of course, other things you can use but you want something that will allow you to hold the plate up by the edge & pick it up out of the microwave firmly and easily. Fire up your torch and always use it at its lowest stable setting. The torch accomplishes two things, to focus the heat on the middle of the plate and to heat the area faster. The microwave will heat everything more slowly, with less focus on the very center. One last thing to remember about the torch is that it "fries" the OP on the hot plate, whereas the microwave heats the OP & plate together a little more evenly. Use the torch to heat about a quarter-sized area of the middle of the plate from underneath. Turn where you hold the plate once or twice as you heat to help avoid heating it off-center. Just warm it for less than half a minute. As you get used to using this technique, you'll get a better idea of how hot you can get the plate before proceeding to the next step.
Put the plate in the center of the microwave and then place the OP on it, again at the very center. Close the door and set the timer for 9999 at medium to medium-low power. The optimum power setting will vary with the type of microwave. The normal power setting is fine for at least smaller microwaves. The important thing throughout the cooking process is to go slowly so the OP is heated evenly. Turn it on, let it rotate a quarter-turn and stop it. Move the plate left or right to adjust the OP's position in the microwave to dead center. Use this centering technique any time the plate is put into the microwave. Restart it and move to the sheet of glass. Cut & crush a B12 pill with the razor and spoon. We've always cut up pills with a razor before crushing with a spoon because the smaller pieces don't fly as much as the whole pills do when crushed. One 500mcg tablet is perfect for an 80. Smaller OP's usually use a little less but they all should have at least half of a B12 pill each. Using too much B12 causes uncontrolable nose running. I'm sure you understand how that's very bad.
Always keep a close eye on the microwave. Burning will decrease the potency of or even ruin an OP. We let it go for about 1.5 minutes at first before checking it but because your microwave &/or plate might heat faster, the very first time you should probably check it after about 30 seconds. To check the OP, press it with one of the more flat areas of your spoon and see how well it smashes. If the edges of the OP curl upwards off of the plate as you flatten it and it feels springy like a hard marshmallow, it's not hot enough yet. When it's hot enough, it will stay flat when smashed. You want to get it soft enough to flatten easily without any melting. If it starts to melt before smashing, it will stick to the spoon and some powdered B12 must be used like flour to flatten the OP without it coming off the plate. You want to avoid this, if possible, because the B12 pressed into the melting OP interferes slightly with the next part of the process. If some does stick to the spoon, blow on it until it cools and hardens. Hold the spoon over the melting OP on the plate and use the razor or a fingernail to scrape the chunk off. We'll flatten an 80 to about the size of a quarter.
Once the OP's nice and squished, give it a quick hit with the torch. Again, the very center from underneath but be sure to keep the flame moving in small circles. Holding the flame still increases the risk of burning. Don't heat the plate for too long. You're just increasing the heat in the center before putting it back in the microwave. Give it some time in the microwave, checking it every so often. This is the critical step where you're trying to heat the OP enough to cause damage to the gelling agents without damaging the good stuff, so go slowly. The OP will be a thick, white powder on the inside at first. As it slowly heats, this white will turn off-white and melt into a sticky goo, turning slightly yellowish as it does. It won't ever be a bright yellow but the goo will progress from a pale, milky yellow to a slightly brownish yellow. This slightly brownish yellow is where the cooking is complete, provided all of the OP reached that color evenly. The OP won't get any darker without smoke occurring.
More often than not, the OP will heat unevenly. This is where the torch comes back into play. Use it to very carefully heat, from underneath, any part of the OP that isn't as melted or isn't as dark a color as the rest. It's best to aim just a hair further outward (from the OP's center) then the side that needs to be heated, keeping the heat away from the already-too-hot parts. Tilt the plate a bit so the side to be heated is just a little higher than the hotter side. This causes the heat to rise away from the OP. Once you heat up the cooler part so that you can see it is melting more, put the plate back in the microwave. The undercooked side, now hotter than the rest, will cook faster and the OP should even out after a brief time cooking.
When you pull the plate out and all of the OP is that slightly brownish yellow color, place it on the counter or some place that can tolerate the heat. Scrape up all of the B12 powder with a razor and carefully dump it on top of the hot, squished OP. Use the table spoon to knead the B12 into the OP. Keep kneading the pink putty with the bottom of the spoon, even after all of the powder is gone. If it becomes difficult to knead, heat the bottom of the plate with the torch until the putty just starts to get shiny. You should work the putty just a couple extra minutes after getting it mixed. When done, dab the bottom of the plate with the wet rag to cool it down and dry your hands. Scrape the hardening putty off of the plate and onto the sheet of glass. It will become more brittle as it cools. Do not place the hot plate in the freezer. This risks cracking the plate and causes water condensation.
Now for the final step. Chopping. The blades don't last long on the glass so replace or sharpen razors as they dull. Slice the product into slivers and chop those to pieces. The finer you get it, the more instant-release (better) it will be. It's hard to wait for a fine chop at this point so do what you can, have a hit and then chop it further while it kicks in. When it's chopped as well as possible, there won't be any visible, very tiny cubes left. All of it will be a fluffy pink powder when checked up close.
**While the article is long, that's only because of trying to thoroughly explain everything. The work on a single OP can be completed in as little as 20 minutes and up to 480mg can be processed in about 30min. Using the torch to speed things up makes the plate hot enough to easily squish the OP(s) after less than 2min in the microwave. It is then able to reach the correct color in 5min. If it heats unevenly, this might take as long as 10min. All you need is 3min to knead it with the B12 and a medium-coarse chop can be done in 5min. A good, fine chop takes about ten minutes. Budget 45min for your first try but expect 25-30min once you have it down, or even less if you're in a hurry and don't chop as finely.
The final product must be ingested intranasally. Done properly with no smoking occurring, no product is lost, judging from the resulting potency. Personally, I prefer the pink OP powder to IR's. Not to original OC, of course.
