 Any Chemists here?

Could someone explain what the fuck is going on here?
It's a short video of a cannabis extract I was reducing ...

My guess is that it's something akin to salt creep, except the evaporation rate at the meniscus is what is keeping the droplets of concentrated tincture above the bulk fluid. Once the fan is turned off and the evaporation slows below a critical rate, gravity takes over and pulls the accumulated droplets of concentrate back down into the bulk fluid.
But this is a guess, so

But this is a guess, so
It looks like some of the cannabinoids are getting dragged up the side of the glass as the alcohol evaporates and flowing back down when the alcohol turns to vapor. I think that when I turn the fan on, it creates a kind of pressure wave based on a temperature difference, and the cannabinoids are floating on this pressure wave of warm/cool air.
But again this is a guess.
Does anyone believe I'm losing cannabinoids here? The alcohol never gets above 165f so I can't see how any cannabinoids are escaping, but I'm a novice at this chemistry stuff.
