Hmmm, wonder what I'm doing wrong winterizing? I use 200 proof ethanol in a mason jar at same ratio as your recipe for 3 days in freezer. Then I filter through coffee filter. Then refreeze for day and last run it through .22 syringe filter before evaporating ethanol.If the rosin is buttering up then it sounds like it has not been properly winterized and filtered. The buttering action is typically caused by the lipids that the winterizing process removes.
My end product without any terps added is like the consistency of distillate, which most ccell carts handle just fine in raw form. It needs to be slightly warm to even load. I only add the terps in mostly for flavor as the process of purging the ethanol removes lots of the natural terps. I can vape it without terps and the consistency never changes, just not much flavor. I add 2 drops of terps per 1ml of product. I also add 2 drops of Floraplex terpene dilutent per 1ml. I found adding that improves the viscosity of the oil in it's cooled state. When I flip the cart I want the bubble to crawl whereas without either product the bubble simply won't budge. Having a bit more viscosity seems to result in much better usage in the cart.
It's not exactly buttering up like regular rosin does after few days after being pressed. It gets thick and looks like little balls of transparent shatter almost. It still vapes like this but doesn't use all the "oil" in the cart up.
