xylene and toluene pull differently?

Migrated topic.

SWIM is in a rush and can't fully figure it out, but he just finished the 9th pull on 200g of MHRB with toluene this time instead of xylene and has his confused-face on.

The first 7 pulls (all done with about 400-450ml xylene) done in about 8 hours combined were 2.11g , the 8th pull was 245mg and was done about 1 week after the first 7.

Another week went by and 2 days ago SWIM added some more lime to the batch and then today he did a pull with about 400ml of toluene.
This pull yielded 554mg!

SWIM tried adding more lime on another extraction using naptha and it didn't seem to affect the yeild at all, it diminished as usual, he is thinking it is not the lime addition but the toluene.

SWIM will do a bio-essay (smoked) tonight after work but it looks and acts exactly like all the other products.

Apologies for the poor writing of this thread, just wondering if anyone had any similar experiences, insights or ideas why that may have happened.
Thanks all!
