      For acetone     

Swim would say yes. Acetone has a low boiling point and therefor is easy to evaporate. Just redry it. It probably just wasnt dried enough the first time.

I think i like it!

      depends on solvent     

read Rhodium's posts on "methylamine smell" in final product, maybe this helpes. My first product smelled like xylene or other unwanted stuff. Since i am doing an A/B and recrystallize 2x  this has never occured again. Pure product smells/tastes different to this normal, commercially available stuff.
