So what SWIM did in order to simplify the whole washing process, he did 6-7 pulls, let them all evap, scraped them all, and then put them all in a bowl with 400ml of naptha and stirred multiple times and let it sit in the naptha overnight before washing. SWIM is thinking he might have lost some spice in the process since he imagines naptha can only hold so much... So looking back on this it probably wasnt that great an idea. So should his final yield only be the same size as one yield? Or does the amount of naptha used not matter and there will be a ridiculous amount of crystal in the final evap which will make it all equal out in the final evap?

Way to wash spice, did SWIM ruin his yield?

When washing spice in naphtha, you only need 40ml per 1g of spice. So you used enough naphtha for 10g spice. Unless you originally had that amount, I would simply evaporate the solvent back down to the correct ratio and do a freeze precipitation of the spice. So, if you started out with 2g, evaporate it down to about 100ml and freeze it.
