Can't get bubbles to pop in shatter, pics

I have been purging this nug run of Third Dimension for a couple hours at 100*. I just can't get the bubbles to pop on their own, i don't know what im doing wrong. I just tried to do multiple purges, over 30, where i let the pressure build up (almost full vac) and then let fresh air in. Please help!

in the vac
out of the vac

At100° F the oil is not molten (liquid) enough for gas to escape the oleoresin.

Try 105, them 110, them 115°...if you are at 115° and bubbles won't break, start increasing temps 1° at a time...

They will pop...

So i turned the heat up and the bubbles started popping very slowly. I got all the way up to 160 before they started to pop. I still have a lot of bubbles and its been a couple hours. Any suggestions?

noooo over 150 is bad... it could turn to perma goo

Whoa....

I said 1° increments brother...

She is prolly goop by now...
The bubbles you are seeing?
Fizzy and equal in size?

These are Co2 bubbles from the oil decarboxylating..
Won't be pleasant to vaporize, but will make you some strong edibles.

My high temp never goes over 120°..115° is ideal, however..
Some strains produce very different levels of viscosity...meaning more heat is necessary...

Slow and steady brother.

As you increase temps by 1° give it about 10 minutes to climb that extra degree, repeat slowly until your bubbles pop on their own.

Stubborn bubbles can be a bitch..I've found using the intake valve to let fresh air in and closing quickly aids in removing the last bit of ” skin” from the bubble.

so i let it sit overnight and woke up to about 6 big bubbles still remaining. i took it out and popped them with a razor blade and let it dry, there is some more waxy stuff on the outer edges of the paper that i dabbed and it was wonderful. right now im just waiting for it to get to room temp so i can pull it off the parchment, but its not looking like it wants to come off at all.

Yeah im pretty sure its not gonna harden at room temp its probably permagoo with the temps you used. You may have to stick in freezer to get off parchment. Consider this a learning experience and be more patient with much lower temps next time. There is definately a learning curve making extracts properly.

Try -29.5" Hg and 115F until the irregular solvent bubbles cease.
