Heated spin on filter wont stop smoking. Running waste vegetable oil

Last time I posted I was having trouble with my spin on filter clogging with WVO on my 78 240D Mercedes. Ever since then I began heating the spin on filter, and filtering the oil down to at least 5 microns. Everything is working good now expect the spin on filter won't STOP SMOKING. Basically I heated the spin on filter by wrapping nichrome wire around it in the fiberglass sleeving. Sticking it between to pieces of aluminum tape, then wrapping silicone tape around it. I did this same thing with my fuel injection lines. When I first hooked them up to they were smoking but then it stopped. By the way, I got the idea how to do this stuff from the fattywagons website which went out of business. Anyway I need advice on what I can do to stop making it smoke?
