Asian Green tea - Meth made in Thailand

[kyloman]

The meth made in Thailand/Asia has a distinctive taste/smell, some describes it as "vinegar" taste/smell.

I was told it was when you pH the meth oil with a certain acid, it gives you this distinctive "vinegar" Taste.

Would anyone know what is the chemical used to produce this taste??

a vinegar smell or pickle is normally related to as Acetic acid could be wrong maybe otheres

What form is it? Powder? I don't know if it is possible to crystallize meth tartrate into the solid ice, i've never even tried. But if it is a powder it can be tartrate salt with some bitartrate.
Otherwise meth hcl is meth hcl. It can not have vinegar taste. Only a heap of impurities may have it.

They crystallise the product with vinegar as it evaporates quicker then water hence the smell so I've been told

vinegar is diluted Acetic acid

It could be washed with ethylacetate indeed. As I remember, it can also be used for hydrochlorides washing.

I will try acetic acid, because vinegar has water in it and like ~10% acetic acid.
i tried spraying cleaning vinegar whilst i was drying the shard, it neutralised the acetone smell, however did make my shard slightly dissolve, because of water

citric acid in place of an equal volume of glacial acetic acid (which is 56% acetic acid
