Yes I did this a few times just testing to see what and It does lower temps some , but there is an end that is like hard candy that is damn near impossible to clean . Not worth the headache at all.

Your temps will be based on how clean the fluid is (pre processed) and how deep vacuum is and how little leaks you have.

I might be able to find the thread by Beaker about his non solvent distillation. He started with straight rosin in the bf non filtered. After the short path he took the remaining material and put it in his sublimator to distill the waxes. He then reintroduced the waxes to the distillate which gave it a shatter like consistency. Bless his soul. Edit: Here it is- Stabilizing high potency THC

So they add more solvent back in and have to recover again before final pass right?
They use faaar less than processing before the first run.
I would def do that but the rising film doesnāt like that stuff with the warm eth extraction we use. Wondering if I can skip a second dewinterizing step where the throughput is 100s of gallons an hr and make up for it without it damaging equipment. Room temp winterization here I come I guessā¦

Biomass has been ground. You think that is causing alot of Terps and water solubles that an average warm ethanol wash wouldnt?
Iām not too sure. Etho is a polar solvent and will grab tons of solubles at room temp. They were doing it with bho crude. Decarb and first pass, then process.
Itās faster to winterize first pass than it is to winterize crude

cleaning is no issue for you?
In a bho extract no. Itās not ideal for the health of your wiped film though.

dude room temp hex wash light agitation and then filter and rotovap and try a room temp methanol de-winterizing with 220grit aluminum oxide filter bed over a bed of celite 545, pulled 20 grams of clean looking crude in 15 minutes with a 1 liter beaker and a glass stir stick and buchner funnel and rotovap, iām going to try and do a wash in a seperatory funnel instead of dewinterizing my hexane crude just out of curiosity

What the hell is dewinterizing? Is that the opposite of winterizing?

That cant handle my 300gallon/1200lb an hour throughput I dont think. Iām looking into sheet media for inline pressurized filtration pre/post homogenization and winterization. Quite a bit of options on embedded media
