How much butane are you using?

Start at 95degrees only raise the temps if the shatter is so stable that it is unable to react under vac unless it gets hotter. Also bubbles don't mean tane is still trapped in it.IMG_20161027_181516.jpg

Temperature burns off your terps, their very volitile essential oils. The higher the temps the more flavor you lose. Purging at a lower temp will cause you to have a more flavorful product. If you can vacuum down a slab at 95degrees and have it react then theirs no point in raising the temps cause you'll just burn off terps. I prefer not to go over 100 unless its an extremely stable strain. Also your not a magician and you can't magically make something rilock hard shatter. In the end after 3 plus days of vac it will be as stable as it going to get unless you force it to turn into a sheet of honeycomb. You don't need to over flip your oil either just vac it down on one side and let it go until a majority of the bubbles degas and its not reacting much anymore then flip and re vac down. Continue that process for 3 days minimum and you'll have very clean medicine. Every slab is gonna be different but eventually after you purge a few hundred or thousand of them its like riding a bike. Also if it just went into the oven for the first time don't over vac it right off the bat. It has a point where around 20-30hg it will have a flash reaction where bubbles come up from under the muffin at rapid speed and can completely fill your chamber if your not paying attention.

So I only hit -26.6 in pressure.so I've tried all different ways I've tried busting the green with room temp butane I've tried freezing my green and butane but not busting the weed and when I sprayed I let evaporated and froze it Over night then hot water bath to scrap then I put in vac and with in 45 min it was done.

As I look it all about how you spray and prep your stuff my normal stuff with the same trim is blackish amber but frozen stuff turned gold and was ready very very quick spray freezer pressure for 45 min it was done

It is essential you purge for a minimum of 72 hours I have done countless testing with Steep Hill over the last half a decade. Also if your open blasting freezing your butane or you material first won't have a big enough impact to justify the extra trouble. If you want your hash to be under or right around 50ppm total solvents you need to purge for at least 3 days

My brother been doing for a very long time he goes to 28-pressure at 100f for 12 hrs then release pressure and 110f to melt bubbles away and it's perfect every time... but my max vac pressure is 26.6

No offense to you or your brother, but if your only purging for 12 hours your hash wouldn't be legal to sell in CO or WA I guarantee it has above 500ppm prob closer to 1000ppm if your only purging for 12 hours.
