I did a lot like you.
i found that i didn't have the appropriate sized container for that much MHRB and other elements of the recipe.
My answer.
-coffee filters.

This is the tech I use, except I use xylene which works the same as the limonene, you will notice that the author says that the bark will absorb some of the solvent. This has been my experience too. Here is a direct quote from the tech that should answer your question underling the parts that seem pertinent to your problem:
"Bark will slowly absorb a noticeable portion of the solvent, this is common.
Step 2: Mix so the solvent contacts all the bark-mush as thoroughly as possible, it should not mix into the bark and should remain transparent.
Mix it well several times over 10-20 minutes. That is all that is needed to dissolve the DMT-freebase in to the solvent. YOU DO NOT NEED TO STIR CONSTANTLY, ONLY PERIODICALLY"
I think part of your problem may have been that you kept the solvent in the bark mush too long.
Good luck! I hope this helps.

You could perhaps use that same 150ml of limo after you salt it to keep pulling, as long as none evaporates it seems like you should be able to pull it all. If not how easy would of be to obtain more limo?

Although I haven't had this problem I would try doing more pulls with more solvent.

Some solvent loss is expected in all the variants of Q21Q21 dry tek, but a recovery of only 15% sounds extremely low.
Another suggestion might be using a french press (or some handy tool to squeeze hard the mix) and then pour again through a coffee filter. I haven't used limo, but that has helped me recover quite a lot of solvent in Q21Q21 #2.

I tell you what to do now my friend cos I had the same problem and I did manage to recover all spice.
What you need to do is put it all in oven and dry it out on under 100 Celsius. Here in this thread on the picture number six you can see the right consistency.The consistency as I found out is very important.
Then you just do another pull. Maybe try less solvent like 500ml first. The naphtha should be worm. You do not have to stir it constantly but give it a good one when you start.You only need 10 minutes and then remove it a stick it in freezer. Once spice removed reuse the naphtha.
Good luck and come back to let us know about the outcome.
