       you can't distill mdma freebase with steam  Bookmark   

nope anin't going to happen. you need to vac.distill it. and it should come over at 10 deg.C higher then your ketone came over at. so if you got ketone at say 144c then your fb will come over at 154c using the same vac as you used for ketone.

Give up, and vacuum distill. Even when distilling MDP2P, you have to distill 100mL of water for every mL of MDP2P coming over.
