Heptane vs Naptha

[Handinglove]

I did look at the posts around the topic here and still not sure where things land. Heptane seems like the better mechanism for pulling and purity and is just higher cost. If cost was no issue than what if any is the advantage to Naptha (VM&P of course.)

Isn't Naptha just a cointaining chemical alcaloid, if your thing is 100% heptane, it is also "100% naptha"... I also got confused by this in all honesty. Checking chemical safety sheets etc....

I'd say heptane (C7) petroleum is the cleaner way since it doesn't have a mix of other chemicals usuallly if we should get picky.
Naptha C5-C13? usually more things in it. I've heard rumours you're looking for a products with C5-C9...

but most important I think would be the boiling point of Heptane, evaporation need to happen after a freeze, the higher boiling point 80C will take forever to evaporate on its own.

I don't know I am relatively new aswell.
