I agree any type of processing is gonna remove some terps. By warm alcohol I meant around 90-100 degrees, certainly no higher then you'd warm your shatter when you vac. Really though you've got alot more experience with this. I make qwiso so I never have to do this extra stuff. Just a different side to the same coin. Speaking of dabs I think its about time to go have one

Hell yeah my friends headin over with his piece and im gettin my enail all set up!
Gettin SHATTERDAY started off right!
And yeah when i dissolve anything in alcohol, besides edible/rso runs, i do it at room temp which for me is about 65-70 sometimes even lower. Its SOOOOOOOOOOO slow but in the end youll notice the little difference. I usually do this with the sides of my round pyrex weve been blastin into because it fits in the chamber so we can purge in our blasting chamber before scraping. Also for vac'n iso/etho i start with not heat for the first 12 hours or so because it will usually react for that long without heat.
I also dont use heat for purging off the initial alcohol either. Just throw some cheese cloth/screen over the top and set it in a warm place in my house which isnt really over 75-80. Im rarely in any rush doing these washes because its cleaning out the 1-3 gs left in the pyrex while the main slab is still vac'n so im never in a rush for it.
Last but not least ive found that when i do this wash its generally harder for me to get it to wax up on me. Now it does have to do with strain because i have gotten it before but out of 10 runs, 8 of which the main slab stayed shatter, and 2 buddered during the multi day purge, only 1 of those 9 ever waxed up on me when purging the iso/etho washed few gs.
I even took one to 140 for 24 hours because it was a super smelly strain as shatter so as wax it was gonna be too loud. Came in the next morning expecting to see a nice little cookie and NOPE! Still sappy????? This was the same stuff that was rock solid when i pulled it out the vac at 90+ degrees and shattered when i set it down.
Some crazy actin shit i tell ya what.
And thats why i have cats!!!!! They surprisingly dont fuck with shit as much as the normal cat. We trained them well.
