So I've started making shatter . Cooking on 95-105 skillet with water ..been vaccing atleast 6-7 hours.

Within two days though.

How do I know when it's done ?
I still see small bubbles , does this mean I need to vac more ?

Yes, vac till stable, are you running butane or alcohol? Either way vac until it doesn't bubble anymore(stable) I only ask because alcohol takes longer

Like should it be completely flat and look like hard shatter at the end in the vac? Just feels like it isn't changing much

Not exactly sure how to flip it ? Is it necessary ? I have it on parchment paper

Turn off the heat, remove from chamber, allow to cool, peel off of parchment carefully, flip(as in like a pancake) place back in chamber, turn heat on, return to full vac

Do when it's done on ful vac in the chamber it should look like finished product ? I smoked some n it seems fine, I just want it to be more like glass

Does it seem finished?

vac slab until bubbles stop happening.
not all strains will turn to glass in the vac. its strain dependent.

There is a forum for extracts, it looks a little green, like it may have some plant matter in it, more filter will help with that, you can also winterise your extract by using grain alcohol and freezing it to get more of the plant fats out of the mixture, when you use butane it bonds to plant fat and pulls it out as well as the trics, alcohol doesn't bond to plant fats and separates them out so you do an alcohol rinse after you boil off the butane then evaporate the alcohol, then vac, it's a time consuming process, but when done well worth it
