- Hello, everyone, this is the first time that I put up 2 videos at the same time!
In this video, we extract some caffeine from caffeine pills. I was not happy with my yield of caffeine in the previous videos, so I chose a better source. I managed to get 8.5g of nice clean caffeine!
This video is kind of linked to my other video tutorial on extractions.

Alternatively you could just ask the caffeine nicely to come out of the pills
They never listen
You aren't being nice enough

it doesn't work like that it's science smh my head 🤦🤦😐😐

I like how he describes the entire process as if we’re all gonna follow along with him at home
"Here's one I prepared earlier."
I mean, if I had that kind of machinery, i would totally follow his instructions
hot plates are cheap, and great for camping
I'd say that's the only "machinery" here
@@3OHT. hot plates cost like 60 dollars here that isn't cheap.

2016 NileRed: Caffeine made out of Caffeine
2021 NileRed: Grape Soda made out of plastic gloves
Nilered: *doesn’t own a coffee grinder*
Also Nilered: “I need some caffeine… hmmm….”
Me: "So I snort this white powder and I will be awake and highly energetic"
Nile: "yes"
Me: "is it cocaine or caffeine"
Nile: "yes"
Cocaine is illegal therefore saying this substance that looks like cocaine is funny.
@Heroin Bob With enough caffeine you also achieve an euphoric effect. It's not as intense as cocaine though

Thanks. 😂

Can you show us how to make “blue caffeine crystals “ ?
Do you mean 'meth'

Sarah with an H good one
One time I bought caffeine anhydrous powder and that was the closest I’ve ever been to caffeine poisoning. Headache, anxiety, and crazy heart palpitations. Stay safe.
Same, bought anhydrous pills and took 400mg on a hot day without drinking enough. Wouldnt recommend
I snorted 1000mg of caffiene pills once. I had a panic attack and went to the hospital where they gave me klonopin to calm my spastic ass down lol
@@who_cares848 why did you do that tho???
@@who_cares848at least you're self aware about the spasticity
You could also run it through a silica column after slight acidification. Practically all food colorings are retained, and the caffeine should move through.
Re pill it and when you eat them it’ll give a permanent +50 to your bpm stat
Actually it's not that potent than everybody claims. When I had my finals I took about 500-700mg at some days and it basically just made me tired as soon as the push you gain from it started to decrease 😂
Tim Mulm if you drink so much your body gets used to it, therefore it works less better. Caffeine is potent, you’re just too addicted to realise it
@@kandy5129 yes you get used to it but now I drink like one coffee a week, so it seems like im not that much addicted
temporary boost to all stats then you die
@@breewaldenwomanizerforlife9341 +10 to death stat
But if you grind up the pills in your coffee grinder, you risk getting caffeine into your....oh...wait...nevermind. Great job on this one!
lol.

OH THEE HORROR!
like adding crack to coke '---' It'S TOO MUCH
IMakrTypos crake to coke whate coke like the soda or the drug
Little trick to filter really fine particles is vaccum filtration in a funnel with coton and celite. It prevents the filter from clogging up
Don’t crush the pills using coffee grinder! Use pestle and mortar, it gives more flavour.
Uncle Roger Approves , Do the right way not the White way
Seeing the title, I halfway expected it to be you smashing a capsule open, and then pointing at the grains falling out. "TADA!"
I dont think they sell a pill like that. It would be too easy to over dose on with pure caffeine. It almost always has filler or something mixed in.

"Using only my weak chemist arms" lol
Damn it i was looking to see if someone beat me to it but dang that was funny.
Idk but my chemist arms are strong, the stirring motor is very heavy..
@@Diabolicallaughter- sure thing
That sentence instantly got this video a like 😂
Hahaha had me cracking up!
*public safety announcement*
Please be careful with caffeine intake, my friends and I used to take silly doses before workouts, my friend overdosed and died at home a few years back.
We were buying pure caffeine powder and making our own pre workout drinks
this is the most pure stuff Jesse
Didn't know caffeine sublimates. Didn't know caffeine crystals are fluffy. That's amazing
I was so mad when he crushed them down into powder they were beautiful.
Yes, you can also smoke caffeine that way aswell.
@@FlareSnare woah really? Do you know what the effects would be like?
@Swampy then why do u need hot water for you coffee instead of cold? 🤔
@@justinrambongga2520 You actually don't. Cold brew exists. Hot water is just faster
Ah yes, "caffeine". Nice way to stay monetized.
We all know that was cocaine
u r so funny, guys
R/wooosh
DaEpicBoi OfEpic what
It would work the same
Seeing this now after just finding you this month, and it’s cool to see how far you’ve come from this video!
Hi Nile,
I am a chemical engineer and I'm really enjoying watching your videos! Thanks for the great content!

"Now that all the caffeine is all pure, I can store it for later use"
*Closes camera*
*Makes a coke line and sniffs it*
A full caffeine line would kill you.
@@user-uf4lf2bp8t No. Snorting more than half a gram of caffeine at once is almost impossible. That's just way to much powder. The lethal dose is around then times as much.
@@wigoow1206 ok sorry it wouldn't kill you but half a gram would make you very sick with no tolerance.
@@user-uf4lf2bp8t Very sick or quite high. Depedens on your viewpoint.
@@wigoow1206 No caffeine isn't like other stims where more gets you higher. With caffeine there is an optimum dose for every person, any more than that optimum dose gives you nausea, heart palpitations, jitteryness and anxiety.
The pink fluid looks wonderful!
Great video ! You've just described most of what I do for a job as a Chemical Process Operator
I want your job

Re capsulate the powder and put “x-tra strength” on the container
do not do this

What kind of life does UA-cam think I'm living to recommend me this
Your phone must've heard you talking about coffee.
Life of a student
This is like the only comment that I I can relate to.

Of all the cool stuff the happens in these videos why am I always most impressed by the magical doing device

@@terryenby2304 I wonder if that's some chemist inside joke? Because he said he does rock climbing (or did) and seems to keep quite fit. I can't always tell when he is joking tho.
@@ithewho6603 I wouldn’t be surprised! However I think even when fit, grinding things in a pestle and mortar is hard!
He roasted himself 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I like how i just watched a NileGreen video about this same thing, and now here is the actual one
Awesome happy memories of my days as chemistry UG particularly loved OGchem and Biochem.

In the span of 4 years, fame hasn't changed this man a bit. I love this about him.
Fame? This guy is not a public figure.
@@Davidpromaster you can be surprised on what changes people
As someone from 2023, I can confirm that Nigel is still the insane chemist we knew at the time this video was made

Exactly like a laboratory class explained very nicely.
I just love the look of pure fluffy caffeine
is that what they call it nowadays? "caffeine powder"

Everybody knows videos on making illegal drugs because they're interesting and I like em too. But a video on making a legal drug from some pills? Sheeeiiiiiiii I'm down.
Too Real dark web,man,dark web.
Me: "I'm listening..." 👀👀👀
Finally I get to start my day right with a rail of caffeine
"No officer this isn't coke, it's pure caffeine."
Thanks my dude. This method was perfect for percs.
“Trynna do a line of caffeine bro?”
this dude would make the meanest research chems.
little do they know this channel is just his cover story to have all the lab equipment and chemicals
yes please get him in the boat

Dudes a beast cook round of applause
Great advice 😀
Imagine selling this during a drug deal, twice the effort, twice the chance of death.
And more legality
@@lakynpayne6476 Offering to sell illegal substances is illegal even if you don't actually have any product in your possession. If you admit that your intent was to sell fake product then you just confessed to fraud which is also illegal. Those are just the legal consequences, and you also have to worry about the buyer putting several holes in your chest. 0/10 would not recommend.
It is already used as adulterant
I can imagine this dude's chemistry presentation starting with "WHO WANTS TO GET CRANKED?!"
I’m so excited
I'm so excited
Thank you for the two videos! Very interesting as usual.

Old NileRed videos sound like those old videos your chemistry teacher shows you in class
How about a video in how to extract nicotine from tobacco?
+Ghazi Sarhan I plan to do it eventually. I just need to buy a bunch of tobacco first.
My physical chemistry partner and I did this in lab. 😊 was a pain in the butt and highly toxic as you have to use perchloric acid (we had to borrow another prof’s lab for the special fume hood)
@@NileRed Just buy some pipe tobacco or some really cheap cigars
Erika Wanner the nicotine is highly toxic as well as the acid though lol
NileRed Don’t people already make enough jokes about you making meth? And don’t you get in enough trouble with authorities?
As a person who is starting to like chemistry, willing to learn more about it and maybe study it, i really enjoy your videos, thank you.
5 years later and still killing it! Idk half the stuff that's being said but the Intelligence that being displayed it makes it hard to not watch.
That was great! Greetings from Austria 🐄🐮🇦🇹

No?

Next video: "snorting my extracted caffeine for fun"
Thx I did this experiment and I was able to extract. .5 more than you did. Muhuhahaaaaaaaa! Thanks for the steps by step process, could not of done it with out you
_"Caffeine is highly addictive"_
Seeing it turns into a white powder
Cocaine: illegal
Caffeine: legal
Drug Cartels: _Ok boys, looks like we have a new product to share to our customers. Another day, another dollar_
What would happen if you were to inhale the caffeine vapor at 6:20? would you get an instant caffeine rush or would you mess yourself up?
yea thats a good question
Zac Owen yep
i mean probably both it would go into your blood stream and what not so im assuming it would fuck you up but you will probably mess yourself up pretty bad lol

thanks for the info
Just watching this made my teeth chatter and my jaw gnaw. Always fun stuff!
Step 1: Crush pills.
Step 2: Enjoy your caffeine.
Step 3. Enjoy by snorting.
This is so cool. Starting back to school in the fall to start a bachelor in chemistry. It's just so interesting. Glad I found you.
Congratulations dude 😁
in grade 10 science my teacher had the entire class extract caffeine from a cup of coffee. it took a long time as we could only do a few steps or so each class. was really cool
At a certain point in the video I'm just baffled by your knowledge and found myself more curious on that than the topic itself lol
I found this channel... like, only yesterday, but I've already watched almost 30 videos (approximately, I stopped counting at about 10). Studying chemistry myself, I really love your videos because I've never really wondered what can I do with ordinary things such as bleach or coffee pills. Thank you for your amazing videos!
Also I'd like to see a video abour luminol. All this chemoluminescence is so facinating :-)
he did a video about luminol didnt he?
Meth
"weak chemist arms"
you're *ripped*
"I had to struggle through this using only my weak chemist arms." I LOLed a lot, thanks for laughs!
omg I was gonna suggest the coffee grinder right when you said it. I also have weak chemist arms.
I feel like my fbi agent is about to raid my house for all this talk about white powder 🤣
As funny as it is watching you grind things in a mortar, if you want a coffee grinder I'll gladly order you one on amazon.
Can you order me one?
Using coffee grinder in order to get some caffeine would have been quite consistent.
Coffee grinders are cheap as dirt in Canada I use it to bust up "green" all the time they go for like $6 at a department store
I love how you make little funny comments every now and then 😂😂
Took the title "cooking time" into the whole meaning
6:15 caffeine vape?
Funny you mentioned the coffee grinder. I work for a large pharmaceutical company and test OTC products, we actually use Krups coffee grinders to powder some of our products 😂
I remember seeing the short where you are "very tired" and definately not on many amphetamines. I didnt know you made an actual video on the same thing
“Everybody can extract caffeine, but if you judge a fish by it's ability to make caffeine, it will live it's whole life in caffeine, because caffeine, caffeine caffeine.”
This series might be my new favourite at 3 in the night
"Weak chemist arms" I felt that
same
Hearing NR repeatedly say "crushing pills" really took me back to my 20's.
Nile red is the classical Guy Who drink a DCM with cereal When he has breakfast
Great, now i can snort my caffeine instead. Thanks internet
Woohoo! Looking forward to the synthesis from scratch :D
+Jake Bender Itll happen... eventually, haha.
Is it somehow related to uric acid? Their structures look quite similar.
Uric acid is a metabolite of xantines, and well, caffeine is a xantine :)
Pretty useful. Also for caffeine :)

Wow... This channel is incredibly useful! Y'know... For all those times I'll need to use these skills to isolate certain chemicals come the end of the world post-covid19
getting urself a centrifuge might be a big upgrade over vacuum filtering many times over. helps eliminate solid precipitates was quicker
Great video
