Question on TNE in OIL

Hi guys,
I'm new here at this forum! Since I couldn't find a page to introduce myself;........ 'Hello'.

I'm brewing for a couple of years now and made almost everything around, with success...

Now there is still one product that bothers me: TNE!!

I did almost every conversion of this product; waterbased, eo/supersolvent and oil!

My goal is to cook up something without EO and guaiacol due to the fact that these carriers are toxic to the human body!

I am aware that the product will eventually crash and I need to reheat(which is no problem for me), but I need the powder to remain solution after heating, for as long as possible!

Now I noticed from experience that the oil based TNE(CSO, 2%BA, 20%BB) was not painfull at all,
actually this was the best TNE conversion I ever shot.

After making the first 10ml sample(above) I noticed that it will crash in about 24 hours(whitch is, fine for me as I heat the product before using, wich allowes me to use a slin pin)
-(now a couple of days further I also notice that this sample won't crash
anymore after been reheated for, 6 times) Any body familiar with this?


Now I decided to make a batch of the TNE conversion described above. I used the standard procedure for cooking up test - e etc.
-(heated oil, added powder, added 20% BB, reheat, wait until dissolved, add 2%BA, reheat!)

In total I had 100ml's in a Pyrex cup!

I had to use a (multiple)siringe filters(Milipore PDVF .22U).

When the solution was heated and clear(no swirls) I draw up a 20ml siringe with the hot solution, attached the filter and needle and started filtering the solution into sterile vails(2x10ml's at a time)

The solution went back in the oven to stay on temp meanwhile.

I repeated this exact procedure until I filled 10x10ml's vails, switching filters every 2 vails(20 ml siringe)!

When I let the final product sit, i noticed that 2 vails crashed almost immediatly and others took longer to crash.

Now my question is: why do 2 of the 10 vails crash immediatly? Does this mean that the powder/oil ratio is higher in these vails? and how could this happen, keeping the procedure above in mind?

Hoping someone has a answer to my question,

Greets,
BB
