Shatter can be handles and rolled into balls if u do it right. Not syrup. Budder is what i make a few dispensaries because they want both kinds. I like em both but shatter is the way to go.

If your getting a vac muffin on your last purge your doing it wrong. The oil shouldn't bubble at all for the last purge, that's how you know there isn't butane in it.
I spent $300 on basic materials just for my vac purge tek to get it as perfect as I think you can get it, which is near zero butane contamination. Your not going to be able to do the same thing safely or efficiently with just some basic materials laying around. The mason jar would implode if you got it to the actual pressure you should be purging at 
.But yeah, I agree with dank.

I only use my hand vac sometimes and its for the finishing touches...I would like to save for a 2 stage and chamber, but for now i'm rocking the hot water baths(150 degrees) and toaster oven!
This has been giving me fully purged, terpene filled shatter taffy every time!!

I've definitely posted pictorials of the whole process 2-3 times.. In this thread..
Your wanting to see the ground up bud before it gets packed? Yeah - Look for the long pictorials, probably near the beginning of the thread and in the middle and also 2/3 in. I'd look myself but I'm running out the door right now.

Doing it wrong.....I don't think so....Not doing it long enough or with a strong enough vac, sounds more realistic....Harbor Freight is just not something I pass by daily....will eventually make my way there for the pump!
Think about it like this, the yields from bho when done correctly and throrouhly are a mere reflection of the thc content of the material used. If your bud test at 15% I would expect around that for yields and since the lower in quality you use means lowered thc, then that should answer your question.

definitely strain dependent, but i would say with nugs expect in the 5-10% + range for your yield...my nug runs are usually from 15-25% strain dependent; sour d and kushs being at the higher end of the spectrum!!
its the fact that less plant material is exposed to the solvent in nug runs-leaving the tastiest, stankiest, potent terpenes, cannabinoids, and flavoids to be extracted.

Don't take it the wrong way, I'm not trying to be a know it all prissy pants I'm just saying: If by the last vacuum purge, the oil is expanding and puffing up that means there is still oil present. I do 4-5 purges at 29hg with 5 minute exposures each time, and by the 5th time the oil hardly responds to the pressure change, and only a few bubbles form. That's how i know it's devoid of butane.
Vacuums are all or nothing, I'm finding out.
I use frost covered trim for the BHO. I will pull like 2.0-3.5g from an oz of trim. Then I will pull 4.0-6.0g per oz of flowers. The quality on the trim BHO is just as good if not better than most.is the increase in yield from using bud instead of trim double?.. triple?
Those buds you used look hella nice verde.... I have the same scissors too
Just so you know, most of those tests when they say "15% THC" mean that 15% of any given trichome is THC. It is most often a reflection of the percent of the THC in the resin, and less often a ratio of plant matter to psychoactive substances by weight.

This is what I use.
I think it's pretty awesome. http://www.harborfreight.com/two-stage-3-cfm-air-vacuum-pump-66466.html
I've done like 15-20 separate purges with it and it's still working great. I also got a 2 year full warranty for $20.

Line the pan. Teflon sheets also work.
