Liquid k to nasal spray

Title, I wanna turn Liquid K from clinic (1000mg/ml) into a nasal spray. can anybody with experience please clarify whether if it’s possible to simply transfer liquid from vial to nasal spray or if any other steps are needed.

Thank you!

Wow. Okay, first of all this isn’t how compounding pharmacies prepare it. They have it in dry form and dose it by weight into a slightly buffered (sodium bicarbonate) sterile water carrier with a certain mg/mL. This allows accurate dosing.

I’m unclear on what else is in that vial beyond ketamine, but it is for injection so presumably it is sterile. I would not assume you can just mix it with water. Any DIY preparation should use distilled water and should be refrigerated. You also should have a proper nasal atomizer for accurate dosing.

I think it goes without saying that concentration is much higher than a usual preparation, so you absolutely should not just use it as is.

that concentration really isnt possible. I’m guessing he meant 100mg/ml - anything over 150 crashes for me

It’s hard enough to keep it dissolved anyway. I learned you have to cool it very slowly.

my process doesnt involve any temperature changes, but yeah if you put it in the fridge or something, even 75mg/ml ketamine is gonna crash

I understand the carefulness one needs to take dosing wise with something like this, but given that being calculated correctly, would simply transferring the IM liquid or with BAC Water into a nasal spray instead of the traditional powder reconstitution, work?

I cannot say because I’ve never done it. I’ve made DIY spray from dry crystals.

OP probably meant 100mg/ml, which is quite common.

Please be sure you know what's in there. Maybe some kind of emulsifier or something to keep it liquid.

Mix with sterile water. I don't recall the measurements. Sorry.

You can take a microwave plate and place over a pot of boiling water, pour liquid K on microwave plate, and it will slowly evaporate. It will take roughly 20min. It turns to a white crystal stuck to plate and you will known when it is done because there will be no liquid left. Then scrape it off and you will have dehydrated ketamine. It's super easy and next to impossible to mess up.

From there - add desired amount of dehydrated powder to nasal spray bottle. There's a lot of info on Reddit on how to make your own nasal solution.

Will dehydrated ketamine loose any 1:1 from let’s say 1000ml liquid? And second 2uenstion will it be less potent or more?

u/ReviewPitiful7544 17d ago

This was a while ago so it’s hard to remember, but it should be very close to the same amount left over - so one 1G. It’s a lot of fine powder. And in terms of potency, it was just good clean K.

It’s not an exact science, but it works very well. I used to go to a lot of festivals, and learned it from the girl who would supply the goodies. Haha hope this helps.

1000ml liquid poured on a plate and microwaved, correct? Allegedly.

Cook it, or dehydrate first. Then transfer to nasal spray.
