When using pentane is winterizing still needed to make the oil compatible with e pens?
It is not necessary as pentane does not pull the waxes and other undesired components the way that alcohol does. Winterization can be done if your goal is to get a 100% pure extract but this requires more than just winterization.When using pentane is winterizing still needed to make the oil compatible with e pens?
The simple Alkanes like Pentane and Butane are non polar, as are the plant waxes, so they behave similarly with regard to plant wax extraction. You can minimize plant wax pickup by extracting below -50C.When using pentane is winterizing still needed to make the oil compatible with e pens?
The results would be similar but alchol needs a higher temp to boil and alchol is harder to purge and will leave some undesirable components.Would this work with ever clear instead of the pentane? If it does what would be the difference?

He didn't say 100% pure extract, but "winterization" would be helpful to get rid of the remaining fats/waxes/lipids. As to help not clog or gum up your pen.
