I have recently blasted two tubes of some old, really good, medicine. 3+ ounces in each tube that were frozen for a few days before being blasted into a pyrex sitting in a water heat bath, using two cans per tube. I then scraped off the remaining soup onto parchment and put into another pyrex dish and sat it in my griddle, giving it a second water bath. I've been going for a week with it in the second bath and I'm still getting bubbles! (Side note, the first three daydays I did not have a lid and the water stayed right at 100, I now have a lid and the water is at about 120. I'm worried as to why all the forms I've read and No One has had to purge this long, also, my almost shatter looking stuff has started to get a sugary glaze in some areas, Maybe this is due to this lid and high humidity? Still doesn't explain why I still have bubbles forming at this temp of a water bath for so long, please help!

I also forgot to mention that once I put the lid on, I unscrewed the handle of the lid which left a hole for gas to escape.

Have you measured the temperature of the actual patty?

Could you elaborate on your griddle and if possible supply a picture? Griddles by and large have poor temperature at the optimum temperature for solvent purging. Consider using sand instead of water for a dry double boiler effect.

The glazing and sugaring reflects grains forming around crystals, as the solvents leave, which includes the lighter terpenes.

There are two kinds of bubbles, the larger and irregular solvent bubbles and the small uniform fizzy CO2 bubbles from decarboxylation. Which do you have?

I have not measured the temp of the patty, I don't have a temp gun, do you know of another method in measuring the temp of the patty?
I'm sorry, I'm not using a gridde, it's a electrc skillet. Deep dish full of water with the pyrex inside of it, next to the pyrex is a candy thermometer in the water (this I how I'm measuring the temp). Sand is a great and unique idea!
The glazing seems a little odd only because I feel it's starting to become more abundant.
I feel that I had a decent mix of both but it seems to have become a good amount of CO2?

A skillet and griddle work the same way and suffer from the same problems. Sand will help ameliorate that without the humidity.

A contact pyrometer or a heat gun are ostensibly the most accurate way to measure the temperature of the puddle itself.

It does look like you're doing both. I used 135F on my heat mats, prior to switching to vacuum purging, where I use around 115F.

Thank you for your knowledge and input Graywolf!
I ended up taking off the lid and pulling the concentrate into a ball. Leaving the lid off at about 110F turning the blob into a puddle of shatter like concentrate again.

I just purchased a set up and was planning to before this run, I just wanted to try to heat purge once and see what I could come up with. I've tested a couple side pieces out and it's not bad, not alot of flavor but good and stoney. I'm going to continue to heat purge, flipping in a couple of days. Hopefully before too long my set up is here and I'll give it a quick purge to double check how we'll I did without an expensive set up.
Thank you again

You can make a fit vac purge system very easily.

1/2 gallon mason jar
Vac seal lid adapter
Mighty vac hand vac
Seedling heat may
Towel or fiberglass exhaust wrap

Place jar on side
Wrap jar with towel .or exhaust wrap to retain heat
Place patty on parchment inside glass jar
Secure vac seal lid
Attach mighty vac
Pump
Pump
Pump
Pump

Repeat for the next day or so.

Poor man's vac chamber
