looks like it could have been purged a bit more, just let it dry out for a while
if you used your food saver, i dont think thats enough vacuum. My foodsaver only goes to 17hg..... where we need to exceed 23hg at the minimal to get some serious purging going.... this is why i have a food saver, in addition to a hand pump right now.
my new system will pump to 28hg-29hg, so im excited
Thanks for the advice.... it puffed up to about 3x it's size with the foodsaver so I thought it was all good... but it still looked bubbly to me after doing 4 runs. How can I test my foodsaver's pressure? It's newer...is it something I can look up on the web? guess that's where I am heading now

Today, in fact

I pumped it with my food saver... then used my mighty vac and pumped it up to equal pressure, and found the food saver got it to about 17...
this is because I just wanted to see, you may be able to google..

Made 4 grams of oil the other night, its already mostly gone. Titanium nails make you dab big rather than glass nails where you use smaller dabs. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Time to grind up some more to run......

i regret to inform you folks that my vac pump arrived broken 
It pulled a vac OK, but it was leaking oil, and spitting oil out through the vapor discharge port.... like SPRAYING it into the air, and making a mess all over the concrete outside....... and it says on the directions to USE INDOORS? It was also producing a HEAVY mist of oil vapor... Looked like a steam engine train, I was using it outside and there was a visible mist/cloud OUTSIDE.... not safe, i'm not keeping this pump.
Yeahhhhh No. So I'm returning to amazon... I've got my gauges and vac chamber so it's sort of disappointing, but alas - we will make this right.
I think I will get my money back and buy this

It pulls to 25 microns, and has half the CFM rating... which is 100% fine, I think this will be 200% better for OUR purposes
I hate testing this shit out though LMAO.. lets wait another few weeks and hope it works I guess

Aww that suck's. Sorry to hear about the vac Sr.V. I bet when you get the new one it will be worth the wait.

I think people have missed my point when I mentioned about using water. I didn't mean using another container of hot water underneath the collection dish. I meant literally run the butane/oil mix straight into a pyrex dish of warm water. I know it sounds nuts but the oil floats on top and can be 'dredged' off with a stanley knife blade or similar and saves a lot of scraping etc. Scary the first time you do it but you will never go back.

+1, i would be scared to tip it or spill some water and lose a ton of bho.

He is trying to remove the scraping side of the process. His thinking it would seem is that once it's all evaporated, instead of having a load of gook stuck to the bottom of your pyrex dish (my thinking is freezing makes it brittle and will just chip off easily in chunks) and that if you pour ya stuff into a pan of water once the butane has evaporated, the gook will simply be floating on the surface of the water so can simply be scoped off, as opposed to scraped off the bottom.

Yeah i've sprayed oil right from the tube into water, creates a film on the top that i just tap with the razor blade and the film all pulls off the top, creates a caramel consistency oil when the water evaporates and whips nicely
